Hi everyone
I'm waiting for the arrival of my Nova 2 Pic al00 but I have some questions that I don't find the answer so easily....sooooo here I come:
1 - What is the differences between CN version and European version?
2 - What is the differences between International Version and Global version?
3 - I know that the version that I bought will come with International version and with some app from the store...what if I make a reset to the phone....I will lose the Play Store but will get rid of all the app from the store...and after that? Is it easy to get back the phone to work with google apps?
4 - I read that some users prefer to keep the CN version than to make a debranding....Why?
5 - Since I m in Europe, will I get OTA updates for a CN version?
I know that's a lot of questions....SORRY !!
Thanks

there is a third version PIC-LX9 which is a Japan (asia) version http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device&id=12768&c=huawei_nova_2_wimax_2plus_hwv31_pic-lx9__huawei_picture
as you can see the differences are in the LTE Bands. For exemple in france where i am i need to buy the PIC-L09 or L29 if not i dont have the B20 LTE band

good question ...
At first I looked only for European sellers for the 2 years of guarantee.
Any of those whom I questioned (eBay, amazon, groove inc) none of these sellers was able to certify me that the model which it sold was a "European" model.
So i gave up, ... now I'm waiting for a good deal on P10 (i'm sure that in can get one for about 350 € pretty soon

So Huawei announced the Huawei Mate 20 X, but in what countries is it going to be released? They are not very clear about that. Seeing the video's it appears to be a global release because all Google apps are already installed.
If you found a webshop please let us know here
Pre-order on Amazon UK, £899.99.
Edit: Sorry, I'm a 'tard, £899.99 for the plain Mate 20 Pro.

Are you sure? Because i don't see the Mate 20 X there.
Aw **** man, I thought Mate 20 X meant this forum covered Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro. I totally missed the Mate 20 X in the launch... Sorry.

Yeah Liaow has it, but they ask $1149 for it and it's the Chinese model. If i'm going to buy it, i want the Global model.

Depending on where you can buy from in the UK, you could probably buy from there. If that fails definitely contact WondaMobile, as i'm sure he can get from you, when its out.
pdaplaza.ca (a Canadian company) has the 6/128 Global variant and 8/256 China variant for sale with shipping the first week of November. Can someone confirm there will be a Global version of the 8/256 model? With the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 the 8/256 was China only, while they also offer a Global version of their 6/128 model. Does Huawei follow a similar sales strategy of reserving their high end model for the Chinese mainland market?
Tweeted Huawei UK and they have said no release in UK (as of yet!!). Prices is listed in Euros so there is a Euro / Global version being released but have no idea in what regions. I also asked this but no reply yet.
Once again the UK is getting screwed ! Off to the black market to pay inflated prices and import tax (again ...) !!
Hi guys,
Any update on availability in the UK or Europe?
I am also looking for the Mate 20 X this phone it is amazing .
my daily phone is at the moment Samsung s5 it so terrible to use this phone and UI.
Huawei is so lazy, they announce the phone in London with euro price but doesn't list the release countries. Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro pre-orders are everywhere. I also asked many Huawei countries on Twitter, but no single response.

can the china variant be used on our canadian bands for 4g lte?
can the bootloader be unlocked on the china variant?
is it true that the 8gb version will ship with a free flip case and m-pen?
So I had a response from Huawei, which said:
"Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK.
At the moment the Mate 20X is not available in Europe, we do not have official information regarding an ETA for the release, furthermore we cannot confirm with certainty that this model will even be released for the European market.
Please return to us, in the near future for additional information on the Mate 20 X model.
Meanwhile, of course, should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us."
Best regards,

Is it OK to buy the Chinese version or should I wait for global version?
my experience from p20 pro- i have both chinese and global and the difference for USA is no location sharing among family/friends in google maps, it is a google operational issue, everything else the same. The chinese one has esim, more huawei apps, baidu, etc.

I live in USA. I'm thinking about buying back the mate 20X. If I get the L-29 version, will I be able to update to Emui 10 on it in USA? If I'm not able to, what are the steps to take to update it to 10?
The update will be pushed to the phone. Even if you live in the USA.
yeps, just a matter of time until emui 10 is available in all global regions.

I called Huawei customer service a few days ago to inquire about the update. I was told that the United States is NOT getting EMUI 10...... EVER! I hope it's not true.

the way I made it was to get an SIM of China's Carrier on ebay or borrow one from your friend. Swap the SIM and check the update, the system will do OTA in a few minutes. Do turn off the data and use Wi-Fi. I guess the trick is Huawei's OS assumes your phone are now in China or other regions, so they will push the update to your phone directly. I successfully made it on three models, P30Pro, Mate 20x, and Mate 20x 5G.

Did you get the update directly from huawei OTA without any tweaks suggested on XDA?
It doesn't matter your location as much as what region build number you have. None of these are meant for USA market. Mine is C185 and I finally received Android 10 last night.

C185 = UAE. I am located in USA and bought this off of eBay. My understanding is UAE version was going to be one of the last to get the update.

I live in the Middle East and received OTA 016.A1.
I was wondering what is the difference in A4 for EMEA, does it activate VoLTE/5G for unsupported countries or just a code name?
Thanks

I also had it in mind. some one can confirm?
There seems to be a bunch of people who recieved the A1 Update in europe.
Reddit thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/rg3du0
Hmm I'm UK here and I manually flashed the A1 version. So I should have flashed the EMEA one??
All seems well with no issues, but if this is the case perhaps I should flash this European one

I flashed A1 at first myself and it seemed to be fine but when I noticed that A4 was for UK, IRL,FR, DE etc I went and flashed A4 to be safe. No issues as of yet.
On my pixel 6 pro 256gb from the German Google store via ota it automatically downloaded the A1 firmware ... I don't notice any kind of problem though ....
Same here.no probs with A1
I just flashing OTA A4 manually to i be in safe when i out the signal not drop
