Mabuhay!
This will serve as a support and discussion thread for us Filipinos.
But first, we all know how difficult it is to get a OnePlus 3 directly from OnePlus- what, with the shipping, customs, and all. So hopefully others will share how they got theirs in the Phils.
God bless!

Thanks, Kababayan! I'm A****w. I'm a OnePlus 3 Enthusiast, planning to have soon since its really difficulty to have the unit in our country. I owned and used different smartphone brands, and now planning to try OnePlus. I hope It won't disappoint me once I decided to get it. About the phone, because some resellers is selling the China Variant with the flashed O2 OS, does the ROM can get OTA?
Hello Kabayan's!
Planning to get one also. Maybe next month. :fingers-crossed:
OH,dear.You can buy it from oneplus official site directly or other retail online shop.
But I think oneplus official site cheaper than other shop
This was what I was going to do before I bought a Nexus 6P.
Buy directly from the Oneplus website. They now accept all major credit cards wherever it was issued. With an option for a separate billing and shipping address, the Philippines is now listed under Country. I was planning to send it to JAC Plus, they are my private forwarder of choice. I've used them before to ship my Moto X, no issues and was charged for Php 800+ to ship the phone to the Philippines.
I checked their website and philippines is not on the list.
You can buy it from widget city philippines, but sadly they don't have accessories yet for it
@reyscott if you don't mind me pinging you, if you are considering an OP3 you should check this out
@saywhatt pls tell me if your getting the 3.. good thing we are just in the nearest neighborhood. wohoo.

You all misunderstood me. It does not ship directly here yes. I did not say otherwise. I said that the Philippines is available under Country in Billing information if you choose to pay by card. You couldn't do that before because their only payment option was Paypal US which requires a US issued card. Now that credit cards are accepted you can separate your shipping and billing info to get around US only items. As long as your credit card is internationally accepted, you won't have any issues.
And I did say I was going to use JAC Plus, yes? Whatever reason would I use them other than to ship the item to me here?
Let's try again -
1. Order from the website directly using a US address for Shipping.
2. Choose to pay by card.
3. Un-tick the option that says billing is same with shipping. Input your real address.
4. Place order, you will be redirected to the payment portal site. Input your card info and pay.
I prefer or recommend to get the China variant since all bands is available for Philippines telco and 4G LTE network.
Anyone could help me how to buy from China OnePlus and ship to Philippines?

Hi all! I really want to buy the Xperia Z1 but I'm an american and I might have to import it. I keep on looking at a site called Negri. I want to buy it unlocked but it has to work on tmobile's HSPA+42 network. I hear there are different models but I don't see model listing numbers on any sites for preorder. My phone currently is a lg G2x. I've tried many custom roms but its on its last legs.
I keep on looking at sony.com and sony mobile.com but I don't even see it for preorder (usa sites). Is the Negri the international version?
If anyone knows anything please give me a hand. Also is the bootloader locked?

I've been looking at Negri's site also for the Z1. According to the spec description, all the necessary bands are there for it to work on T-Mo. I say you contact Negri customer service to confirm that or just wait till the phone is released on T-Mo. With T-Mo carrying the Z, I wouldn't count them out on carrying the Z1. Just for your reference, my international HOX is getting the 3G sign on T-Mo instead of the H.
Order from clove.co.uk or handtec.co.uk
they are better than negrielectronics, plus usually negri kinda lags on their shipping dates because they get their devices from wholesalers or dealers w/e.
order from the above sites, its about 20 dollars cheaper, and you get a FREE SMART WATCH ($250)!!!!
plus they will get the device starting on the 16th, so it will ship 16-20, with 1-3 day shipping to the US.
The devices sold by these two companies are C6903 which have all the freq/bands for t-mobile. So it should work unless something horrible goes wrong when we get them (doesnt work lol).

Hi all,
I just recently switched to T-Mobile from Sprint, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm looking to pre-order the phone from one of 2 UK sites; www.clove.co.uk and/or www.unlocked-mobiles.com.
Does the phone need to be unlocked for use of T-Mobile?
Are phones from UK auto unlocked or do I need to check with these 2 companies?

Thanks for the source for ordering the Z1 in Europe. These are really great deals, Negri is pretty much $50 more (that's what it looks like when I run the conversion on XE.com) and there's no smart watch offer. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough before these deals are gone.

The phones on the sites above should be unlocked. You should probably pick between clove and handtec that were recommended, unlock-mobiles offers the phone around the same price, but doesn't have the offer for free Sony Smart Watch 2. Clove and handtec will be the better deal.

I've put the product in the basket and almost went through the ordering process just so I could see the actual USD total in Paypal. The cost is running close to $78X.XX which is quite high, but do remember, they're throwing in the smartwatch 2 which is worth at least $250. Just want to make sure you don't get shocked by the bill. Paypal may or may not be using the currency rate from XE.com or other currency sites.
I ordered mine from HandTec UK and it is 1-3 day FedEx shipping to the US. The cool thing is that it also comes with a free Smartwatch 2! I checked with T-Mobile and the unlocked Xperia Z1 should support all the bands for HSPA and 4G LTE.

I paid $769 and change through Clove but chose the less expensive shipping option.
negri is offering the bundle now.. 780 something
Bought my purple Hong Kong C6903 variant in early October from Negri, and couldn't be happier! LTE works great on T-Mobile USA!
So I was out to buy the Note 4 and I wanted to try the Exynos variant because I've always purchased the Snapdragon variants. I figured because the Exynos Note 4 finally supported LTE in the US and the fact that it was using a next generation SoC made it a natural decision for me to finally convert... BUT when purchasing, I looked into Expansys for getting the phone. They specifically advertised the SM-N910U on their website of the phone. I spent nearly $1,000 and purchased next day delivery. To my horror, I found that the model number was SM-N910H, which supports no LTE and will likely have the least support of the Exynos variants. I'm so livid. I don't think I'm going to buy internationally anymore, I don't trust these vendors. :crying:
Thats is really not good. Can you return to them the unit?
Sent from my SM-N910U using Tapatalk
Expansys sent me an opened phone before so I'll never buy another phone from them. And they're not authorized to sell anything even though they advertise manufacturer's warranties.
Just for future reference, what are more reputable sellers to look at?
Exapansys are very very bad. I have rarely heard good things about them. Apparently they are also a nightmare to deal with for returns or warranty issues. Although I haven't used them yet, but I heard tons of good things about Clove. www.clove.co.uk
I will most probably buy the Galaxy Gear S from them soon.

Handtec sold me a new phone that arrived opened box with the the seal cut. Basically told me to scew myself when I complained.
I'm thinking of buying this phone from a seller in Singapore. The 3T sold in Asia (apart from China) appear to be the same model number as those sold in the UK. Does that mean if I buy the 3003 3T from Singapore it will work on all networks here? Thanks!

It doesn't matter from where are you buying it.
It only matters to support EU bands.

Well, since this phone isn't sold like most other phones in local stores, instead it's sold directly from the design-company. Especially now when OnePlus has stopped selling them, now we have to buy directly from the producers (Aliexpress) or from stockpilers/resellers on Ebay. So yeah, this is an import phone either way and, ao it's up to us buyers to choose the direct band-locked modell.
Also, there's actually no physical difference in the models which is important to know. Only in software which locks which bands that it will connect to.

Secondly, all of Chinese phones are being sold through 3rd online resellers like Banggood, geekbuying, gearbest etc. It's not only for oneplus phones.

Its this time of the year guys! This thread is to discuss pre-orders across all stores and providers in Canada. To compare notes and ask ROBELUS related questions. I personally pulled the trigger for an unlocked (no subsidy) phone through best buy, delivery scheduled for the 16th and then I went back in an through Telus the pick up is on the 9th for some reason so I pulled the trigger on both. What did you order from where? What did you select? Pick up or delivery? Please share.
I'm waiting for benchmarks between sd845 and exynos, in order to decide on which one to pick. I'm probably going exynos route again, shame we Canadians get slammed with the Americans, even if we don't use CDMA networks anymore.

I thought Best Buy did not do this anymore.
I thought you need to buy a carrier subsidized device ?
I am not going to the S9 anyway, I just do not want another device where I will need to wait for at least a year after Android P is released to get it, also I do not want Samsung Bloat you know like Bixby.
...but I am curious will check the Best Buy website, sure enough for only $1100, plus tax and shipping I can get an unlocked device sent to my home. Thanks for pointing this out.

64GB so far. No mention of the 128gb variant. Maybe sometime in the future. Pre-order gets you the 150$ bill credit. I know it does for Robelus not sure about Freedom tho.

Depends on what you want, need, and can afford now vs then. The belief is that the global version will have band support that the current Tencent version doesn't have. If you need that additional band support, then wait. If it's more expensive and you can afford it, then wait. But if you're impatient like me, get it now. I should have mine on Saturday. It supposedly doesn't have 71 support. And maybe more. I'll report on what I can this weekend. I'll be connecting to TMO though.

The tencent version has typical chinese battery management stuff that will cause issues with notifications, and its a bit more locked down. Best to be on the worldwide rom.

Hi everyone,
I'm a little confused and would appreciate any help provided. I've read many of the posts and am still a little unsure which LTE bands the currently available 8/128 version has. I've seem some sites that show only a few and some sites that show more. Can someone confirm which LTE bands the currently available 8/128 version has?
Also, after switching over to the WW rom, does it allow you to pick which version of the UI (near stock vs ROG) during setup?
Thanks in advance!!!

I've read that the Tencent version of the ROG Phone 2 doesn't support LTE band 66, but that would be pretty awesome if it does!
Additionally, everything I've read seems to suggest that the phone will work fine on AT&T/T-Mobile. I'm particularly interested in finding out if this phone will work on Verizon's network or not though. All the phones I came across on ebay have bold disclaimers stating that the phone is not compatible with Verizon. At the same time, it supports most of Verizon's 4G LTE bands (except maybe band 66) and 1900 PCS for 3G. I wonder if maybe the phone will work on Verizon but with reduced coverage? I'd rather not switch carriers but I also really want to get this phone. I'm very tempted to just buy it now and be a guinea pig for the network, but I think I'll hold out a couple more weeks until it officially launches in the US. If it doesn't work on Verizon that'd be a huge bummer, at that point I'd have to pick between switching carriers or upgrading to something else like a Note 10.
US user, LTE in USA works great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOVxNG93amc

I was hoping it would arrive a day early, but looks like we're going to have to wait until tomorrow. Do you need any information off of it after I get it?

Ok, thanks! Nothing specific, just wanted to know if it arrives ok and as described from the seller you bought it from, that sort of stuff. I'm probably almost as excited for you to receive your phone as you are lol

I really appreciate it! I'm pretty stoked about it myself. Once I get it I'll try to get some pictures and do a simple unboxing and get some diagnostic information and see if it helps the community.
