Hello to every owner of these amazingly beast
I received mine few days ago from giztop but I can't find anything to enable NFC mention to giztop about it that manufacturer and ad I bought said NFC YES, still no response...
Anyone know how to solve that?
Really pay good money for the phone and is shame not to have that function.
Please PM me
P.S Amazing 165w charger and SoT
As far as I know NFC is only available in global version

Not true, from where you get your data? On manufacturer Nubia both devices have nfc

Actually the NFC only deploy on the Global version. Even you have a Global ver, that is not available in China.

Thanks for the info. To make it clear, if you bought CN with 165w there is no NFC. If you change version to global can you have that function of NFC? Also do I have some benefits switching to eu or global version?
Thanks for all the info @CrazyMoney
On the screenshot I found that file on system apps, but can't find any other app or something install to enable nfc

Noop, The Chinese version does not have NFC hardware. So it doesn`t work.

I think this problem will be fixed in the upcoming update as Xiaomi has said, you can buy the device.

I strongly recommend the purchase of the Redmi Note 5 China version or Global version because it is better in photo and other areas (better 4G coverage,...).
It is not so sure that Xiaomi will solve this problem in the nearest future

Sad, when I asked about the issue they gave a reply.
I know there is international version can be bought in Hong Kong, with all assets against Chinese.
However, it is much easier for me to ro get Chinese... Maybe it will be also cheaper, but it is second story.
My question is if will be possible to install global fw in China phone?
Thanks
Short answer. Nope. At least not now.
O must see prices of both. Generally, China phones localisation is not so poor, with some work, one ca adopt is enough. I have now honor note 10, same work...
I hope it would be possible to unlock BL and root and de_chinise it.

So I live in China. I was just at the Huawei store an hour ago. And I had the same question; Can I eventually put the International rom on the Chinese version?
All I can say is that right now, the easiest way to do that is to buy the phone in Hong Kong for example.
But the problem is that they sell the 128Gb/6G RAM for almost 200 USD more than the price you get the Mate pro 8GB RAM/256 GB version in China..
I think I'll go with the Chinese version, waiting to switch the rom at some point.
PS: If installing the google suite is not possible by allowing apks of unknown source
I afraid this will never work...
but thankes. key is price difference. i will also go on al00
Not to mention the global version only comes in the blue color. I didn't like that.

Oh yeah?
So just to be clear,
- DL the .apk(s) for the google suite and allowing "unknown sources" from the mate 20 will make possible to have the google apps?
It seems too easy to be true, but maybe you're right, I have no idea.
I just want to make sure that I won't buy it to realize that this won't work.
Returning anything here in China is a real pain, even on the same day

Don't need to download the apk.
Go into app gallery
Change country to China
Search for Google playstore.
Click update and open playstore
The usual setup will start
Done.
You dont need to install google suite apk. Just install play apk from apk mirror. It worked with note 10. And working with mate20x from china. Google services are already baked on rom by default.

Is this typical of China version Huawei phones?
I've always thought that ROMs were interchangeable, as long as the hardware was the same.

Technically yes. However Huawei made it harder for cross region rom flashing by locking the bootloader and rom region detection.

How is the band support? is it identical?
This article from the Android (non) Authority says (way down at the bottom) that (maybe) the phone's bands are not the same ... yeah, great journalism I know - especially when at the top they say the Chinese version of the phone is the same except for the lack of the UD Fingerprint Scanner

sorry about that - google led me astray on my mate 20 pro chinese version seach
I was just reading the huge chinese version mate x thread and someone was saying the bands were different (but better, nothing missing - just more bands if I understood correctly)
so now I just need to read the mate 20 pro threads to see if it is similar in this way...

China - bloatware - no need
Global - useless - no need
Eu - everything global has and more regarding updates, root ability, and twrp working without issues.
EU. Plain and simple. Anyone tells you otherwise, they haven't tested enough.

Hi opasha,
Appreciate that. But I need to touch on something I asked you before. I researched the xiaomi mi a2. It works on verizon flawlessly even when verizon implies it may not work on their network. In like manner and the fact that both phones are xiaomi, do you think the mi max 3 can still work on verizon?

I've got to be honest , with the options for Miracast ( built in) and Chromecast ( using apps) i would have thought plugging in a phone these days is a bit superfluouse. I've been using both to cast my phone to a Projector ,TV and Speakers, and have not even thought about USB 3 leads now.

No offense. I appreciate your feedback. But I think you commented in the wrong thread bro.
Yep...looking at it now..i did..sorry about that.
I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.
I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

I have the China 8/256 version. And although I was worried about getting it once I changed the language, keyboard, got Google play to work it's a great phone.. my wife is laughing at me saying it's too big but personally I love it. It's fast and smooth and the screen is amazing.
I've not tried Google pay yet. I was able to add my credit card but not my bank card strangely. I will try Google pay tomorrow and let you know.

Get the International version.
The Chinese version will most likely end up frustrating you. The international version just works, no tinkering or rooting needed.

I have 2 units Mate 20 X AL00 ... just use the ADB method to debloat all the bloatware apps... Honestly, i don't feel the need to get the International Version of this phone... All of my phones were Chinese version, since they update it much more faster ... also, i don't use any of my phone in other language rather than english... so basically, chinese version is what i have been buying...

Ordered from shopee to the Philippines
Should be delivered shortly
The global mate 20 pro just went on sale today and it's cheaper to buy locally with a warranty than the 20 X is to buy from China
I thought about cancelling but the mate 20 pro doesn't really appeal to me ( except waterproof + 40w charger aspect )
I prefer the 7.2" screen, capacitive fingerprint reader and 8/256 over 6/128 ,bigger battery and flat screen (don't like curved glass ) so I think there isn't anything else that can compete with the m20X right now and there may not be for awhile
I wish there was 8/256 EVR-L29

Get rid of the Huawei/Chinese crap and install Google equivalents and you will have a great phone regardless
If you're in China then get the Chinese version. However, if you're living anywhere else then get the international version.
You won't notice the difference.
