Hello,
Does anyone know how may variants this phone has?
I mean I know there is this Verizon variant on which you can't unlock the bootloader, is there any other "variant" like this? Or we just have the one that Google sells ok it's page and the one Verizon sells?
Is there another variant in Europe,for example?
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
I was just looking for some assistance as I am interested in the dual sim variant of the HTC one M8.
I have been searching the web and can see that it is stated to have been launched. I have also noticed there are 2 threads here relating to rooting it.
The 2 questions I have are:
1 - Where can I buy one from?
2 - Would it be better to get the Chinese or European version to works properly in Australia.
I have also seen that there is another Dual Sim variant to be released next month that is marked as LTE-A. Is there any reason to wait for this variant or with mobile services in Australia I will not see any benefit.
Thank you all for your assistance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Hi! I bought it from microspot.ch
I don't know which frequencies you are using in Australia but the advantage of the European version is the non-existing Chinese apps
Compare the stated frequency support to what your carrier uses in the lists linked below.

Thanks all.
Have you been able to root the Chinese one and remove the non existent apps?
So... It seems no real advantage between the Chinese and European version.
Does anyone know any details about the LTE-A Dual Sim coming soon?

I got in contact with microspot.ch and they will not deliver outside of Switzerland. Also, I do not think they have any stock.
Are there any tricks to get deliveries outside of the EU or does anyone know of any other places to try?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I placed an order for my Note 8 using the Verizon website, they sent me an unlocked international version
Anyone else notice this?
It is an SM-N950U not an SM-N950V...
Also has no carrier branding, first time for me getting a Verizon phone with no branding lol

SM-N950UZKAXAA - Unlocked
SM-N950UZKAATT - AT&T
SM-N950UZKATMB - T-Mobile
SM-N950UZKASPR - Sprint
SM-N950UZKAVZW - Verizon
SM-N950UZKAUSC - US Cellular
Hello someone is offering me pixel 2 xl but USA model and I'm in the UK. Is there any differences in the 2 regional models?

Quality processors etc
Please advise as I'm considering buying it.

Same phone, but make SURE it is not the US Verizon (bastard) version that is similar to the UK's EE model. They come locked and restricted. Get the phone's IMEI in advance and run it through THIS. If it comes back GOOGLE_OPEN, you are good to go. If you run the IMEI and get either Verizon -or- Blacklisted you will want to decline. Cheers mate.

Very useful.
I've been informed it's unlocked but will try your link.
I'm from New Jersey, USA. I used Verizon all my life so I'm used to locked bootloaders. I'd like to finally experience not having to deal with that anymore. I'm buying it used. Do ATT, TMO block there bootloaders? I'm hoping to run PureNexus. Any advice would be much appreciated.

There are only 2 types of pixels xls AFAIK. One that was sold by verizon that has the locked bootloader and one that was sold through google that didnt have a locked bootloader. Verizon is the only carrier that sold the phone in stores in the US.
Hi,
are there really only 2 versions worldwide solt? Have all versions the same LTE modems? The HTC One M8 had different modem boards built into...
I want to buy a Pixel XL 128 GB new and it is only available in UK shops not in German any more...

Stefan

i can only confirm for the US Google Pixel XL. I dont know if there is more out there for different countries but for the US it the same device just one had its bootloader locked.
According to GSM arena there was 2 versions. Global (sold through google store) and USA/NA (sold through Verizon stores).

Hi,
thank you.
I found one finally and ordered it.
I think it is ok, it is from a major German supermarket.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Pixel and I'm wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader and root an international model. I want to be able to do these things so just looking to verify that they're possible before I buy an international model. Anyone done it? Haven't had any luck when searching. Thanks for any help.

Google store is BL unlockable, Verizon is not since they're annoying like that
Thanks, I'm definitely staying away from the Verizon ones for that reason but what I'm asking about is the international model. It's a different model number and has different bands but I'm wondering if it's still BL unlockable like the Google Play version.
Yes, I'm running the international model unlocked and rooted.
Tbh I think the international and Google edition are the same. Been searching for a while, can't find anything to indicate they aren't.
It seems in the USA, to differentiate between carrier locked and unlocked phones sold directly by Google, as well as marketing and branding purposes, Google simply calls the unlocked edition in the USA Google edition instead. The international edition already ships unlocked.
They're the same otherwise for all intents and purposes.
