I'm confused, I recently bought the ZenFone 2 ZE551ML and it clearly is the Chinese version as it has CN on the box and the inside plastic cover is written Chinese too. What I do not get is my firmware which is the ww version out of the box. It clearly reads on the packaging ZenFone 2 Z00ADB and ZE551ML which I'm sure is the Chinese version. I have updated to the latest ww firmware which I got off the ASUS website with no problems occurring. I'm just curious as to whether my device may be dodgy or not and was wondering what experienced owners/users think.
Did not see the other q&a thread so delete this one if you need to.
Where did you buy it from? If from a Chinese vendor they often load the ww firmware on the phone before shipping, the only difference is that if in the states or Canada or Mexico you won't get the 4G/LTE bands, there are a number of people here at xda who are trying to resolve that problem.

It was new of eBay. I believe the seller may be Chinese but it was all bought here in the UK and wasn't shipped as it was listed as UK stock. I've got no problems with the device, 4G on my EE SIM works fine. I'm just curious I've not got a dodgy device. It has a ww firmware out of the box and all the packaging is Chinese even that plastic cover around the device which highlights the specs.
Hi there, I've a friend going to China in a couple of days and after searching (and translating) through Xiaomi's online mall, I realised that both 5s and 5s plus are out of stock.. does anyone have any idea about their availability? Maybe someone from China can help?
Thanks in advance.

The hardware of OP5T is the same everywhere around the world. Band 20 is on the supported band list for Chinese OP5T, you can check it on OP's cn cite.
Chinese OP5T ships with Hydrogen OS, as there is no Google service in China. You can flash the phone to Oxygen OS without much trouble.
I have no idea of warranty situation outside China. You might want to contact your local OnePlus service for that information.
Hi Michael,
I heard we need to buy it online even in China.
If you managed to find retailer store, can you please let me know ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Greetings from Bangladesh. I wanted to buy Oneplus 5t from China. I am having trouble with it's Hydrogen OS. My friend will buy and ship this phone from China to my country, but problem is that he says in China its only Hydrogen OS and my friend has no idea about any phone's ROM functionality. So, if he buys from China, does it have English language on that device for changing it's ROM? Because I will change it's ROM personally and I have no idea about Chinese language. Please reply and I will be glad.
Thanks :laugh:

I do remember that the user is presented with a language selection page when you boot the phone for the first time. The page is in Chinese though, with one drop down list of usable language. I haven't tried using HOS in English, but I think you can.
Then you can enable OEM unlocking in developer options and proceed to unlock the bootloader then flash the ROM you like.
I bought this phone online in China.
Download the Oxygen OS from the OnePlus site. Install it onto your phone's hard drive. Flash it from recovery. It was very simple to do.
I have recently purchased a LE2120 (8/256) and found that there are a few things that don't work while using oxygen stock (I have tried last 11 global and europe variants). While getting support from the retailer I really would like to know if there is anything I could do to check/fix these problems. I have tried myself to check using the *#808# menu but I don't really understand the output. Can anybody help?
Hello @All!
I would like to buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro, but in the large 12/512GB version. This is available, for example, at TradingShenzhen.
But now there is suddenly the following sentence: INFO! NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE POSSIBLE
As firmware is specified: Multi - GE, EN, FR, ES, ...
According to this, it is a European ROM. If I buy in Germany at Amazon the leine 8/256 GB version, then Google Play Store is also included. It can not be that the use of Google Play Store is dependent on the size of the RAM.
TradingShenzhen wrote me on request that it is not possible to flash another ROM on Honor. That would be very strange though. In principle, you can flash another ROM (e.g. European version) when the bootloader is "unlocked". A few years ago I've bought the Huawei Mate 9 in the bigger chinese version. I I flashed the European ROM and that was it! Everthing worked without any issues.
I find all this somehow strange and would be grateful if someone here could please enlighten me.
Another question in this context: I noticed that the European versions of Chinese smartphones only in smaller memory variants. The Chinese devices have up to twice as much memory as the European ones. What is the reason?
Where can I buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro 12/512GB, where also the Google Apps work?
Somewhere I have now also read that the Chinese version has no GSM? Does this mean that SMS is no longer possible?
Thanks a lot!
Best,

At China, phone version is AN10 no GSM/google service ; but you could buy an asian international version NX9 at Hong Kong.
