Xiaomi technology recently released an international version of the Xiaomi Yi action camera: US version and EU version. Both version are available in white and black color. At the same time, Xiaomi will ban APP service of Chinese version in the overseas, which means that if you purchase Yi action camera of Chinese version, and you can’t use it because of language different.
What is international version?

What differences are there between international and Chinese version ?
App
As we all know that the Chinese version of Yi action camera can only connect Chinese App. If Xiaomi bans overseas APP service, then what can the users do? Kindly suggest that the users buy an international one, because APP of the international version with multi languages applies to global users.
And according to the description on amazon.com:
“The U.S. version is compatible with U.S. Wi-Fi network environments and voltage, along with U.S. environmental standards. It has different packaging and English instructions. The other non-U.S. version are not from authorized sellers and could be counterfeit.”( EU version is the same)
Battey
Chinese Version features a 960mAh battery ( from Panasonic)
International Version features 990mAh battery( from Sony)
The batter life of international version is longer the Chinese version. What is more, the backdoor of the battery housing (international version) is covered with an aluminum alloy sheet. Its heat dissipation is better than plastic cover( Chinese version).
Certification
The international version of Yi action camera has passed CE and FCC certifications. In addition, the US version has passed CRUUS certification and the EU version passing KC certification. Comparing to this, the original Chinese version only passed CE certification.
Service
When the original Chinese version connects APP, the speed maybe be very slow. However, the international version promotes its user’s experience and update its speed.
Package
According to the press release the International Version differs:
“The package is better, local language and all the international certifications”
The Chinese version package is made from wood material and the international version uses recyclable wood material box with a red paper cover. The package of international version is better and more environmental.
From the above, we know the international version indeed make different changes including its package, user manual, appearance and so on. Here we are not going to go through more examples.Although its price is a little more expensive that the Chinese version, it’s better and more valuable. Kindly remind that if you buy the Chinese version, you can’t use it. (because app of Chinese version is Chinese and even you possibly can’t download it. )

A german blog reported wrong CE-Marking on the Elephone M2.
What is a CE Mark?
Wikipedia said:
CE marking is a mandatory conformity marking for certain products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) since 1985.[1] The CE marking is also found on products sold outside the EEA that are manufactured in, or designed to be sold in, the EEA. This makes the CE marking recognizable worldwide even to people who are not familiar with the European Economic Area. It is in that sense similar to the FCC Declaration of Conformity used on certain electronic devices sold in the United States.
The CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.[2]
The mark consists of the CE logo and, if applicable, the four digit identification number of the Notified Body involved in the conformity assessment procedure.
"CE" originated as an abbreviation of Conformité Européenne, meaning European Conformity,[3] but is not defined as such in the relevant legislation. The CE marking is a symbol of free marketability in the European Economic Area (Internal Market).

Someone in Germany bought a Elephone M2. After a few weeks the buyer from the Elephone M2 has received a letter from the customs. The women from the Customs said that she can't give the Elephone M2 to the buyer caused by a forged CE Mark.
There are now three ways:
Send the Elephone back to the retail Outlet
provide for inspection
destroy the device
!Customer's from europe shouldn't buy this device!

It's not wrong. This logo means "China Export", which doesn't doesn't have any european certifications. The only difference between the "China Export" logo and the "Conformité Européenne" logo is the letter distance, which, in case of the "China Export" is shorter.

What are the differences between W280 and W280A?
Looking on the LG website, the only 2 models I see are W280A and W280V. I'm assuming those are for AT&T and Verizon, respectively. Where did you see one that was just W280 with no letter after it?
W280 is the original Google Store version. completely carrier free. W280A is the AT&T version, it ships with an AT&T SIM installed.

Ah, ok, thanks for the clarification. I missed out on buying it from Google so I got a W280A from Amazon. It's unlocked and I have it working on T-Mobile. Do you know if there is any actual difference other than it shipping with an AT&T SIM?

I have the Google version, so can't speak authoritatively on the AT&T version. From what I understand AT&T uses some "numbersync" software to sync watch calls with your phone number, so if there is anything pre-installed for that, you won't need it on T-Mobile. Mine is running Wear 2.5.0.172604017 Android 7.1.1 Build NQF43O which I believe is the latest production release for US models.

but I can't reach the SIM tray, cos it's locked and no 3 hole for opening it. (
)
somebody can tell me, what version it is ?
In short:
- I bought my M3 in March 2017, EU version w/ Wi-Fi and 4G; I use it out of home.
- BlueBorn is a very bad vulnerability that affects Bluetooth protocol, and VERY NASTY exploits exist; only workaround available for M3: bluetooth off. Other firms have patched their products long time ago.
- I have the latest firmware available -B303 which is still vulnerable (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.armis.blueborne_detector).
In conclusion: hardware is perfect but software prevents me to use the bluetooth functionality, so this item is to be considered broken (or better defective by design) withouth chance of repair. Flash a custom rom? No way, since unlocking the bootloader by software would affect the warranty on hardware (it was your choice, Huawei).
I called the reseller (not Huawei) to complain for this: I will send the item back soon and get a full refund.
BTW: European Union customer protection laws apply. YMMV. Reseller is responsible. Reseller may complain with Huawei (and I think it will, in my case). Sorry Brexiters.
End of story.
Goodbye Huawei and thanks for all the fish, but after four month, it stinks a lot.

I don't know if there are any hardware or firmware differences between models sold in the UK and EU, but just for anyone else's info, I just ran the same app on B303 on my UK, wifi-only version and got a clean bill of health. I'm relieved, but it's slightly surprising (to me at least) that the 4G version fails with what I assume is otherwise the same firmware release.
(Disclaimer: I'm new to Huawei devices so apologies if I'm missing something about hardware/ROM versions. I have BTV-W09C100B303 with 6th Nov Android patch level.)
Unfortunately BTV-DL09C100B303 is still vulnerable.
Just to be shure before packaging: I just started a check for new updates. Nothing found.
B352 came down on to my tablet just now! Includes the November 2017 patch level and is clear of BlueBorn.

check on another device (smartphone?) your bt-area with the app and "BTV-..." will be shown as vulnerable. so looks like not fixed.
Interesting - the scanner shows my Xiaomi mi5s as being potentially vulnerable remotely as well. It has December 2017 patch level. Running it from either device shows the local device as being OK though. Strange
Hi folks,
Just discovered today that the newest software update on N9600 enables the Wifi Calling and VoLTE with my TracFone T-mobile SIM card!! I found this because when I was on the call it says "HD" on the screen, which I only saw on US version phones before.
My Dual SIM N9600 (likely from Hong Kong) has never been rooted or flashed with any CSC file. It's in its pristine official status except for the OTA updates every month. I remember that the VoLTE option was not available before this update, whenever I was trying to tap the "VoLTE" icon in the drop down menu it said "VoLTE is not available for this software version" blahblahblah. The June update is 500ish MB which I thought was bulky but didn't know why (in the What's New section of the update info it's just some very generic bs like improved performance and latest security patch)
I'm soooo excited about being able to use my phone on wifi with airplane mode on! :laugh::laugh: also the HD voice is really nice.

This is seriously great news. I've been planning to get a dual sim (exynos / snapdragon) so that I don't have to carry 2 phones (currently Note 9(960U1) and Note 5. One on T-mobile and another one on Mint mobile.
Would you please do a speedtest (speedtest.net app) on LTE/Data and post the screenshot. I am hoping the speed is good and if so Google Voice will work with out issue which is one of my requirement. I really don't like to go down the root/custom rom/CSC change route if I can avoid it.
If I buy on eBay, returning once opened will incur 20% or 25% restocking with the vendors I've shortlisted so like to avoid that.
Thanks much!
i see your on the TGY rom same here but in the latest update they have disabled it again!? now it says "volte is not supported by your current software version" are you experiencing this?

I got a Tecno advertorial page pushed to me, regarding Phantom and did some research. I would have asked them directly, but no contact information I could find, #1 issue.
In spite of making a "presence" claim of dozens of countries, No US, Canada, or EU. Europe included Russia and Turkey on one product but not the other. The world is much larger that just those places, full of competition, safety and other enforced standards. #2
A claim of high-end or exclusivity which translates to me high prices and false claims of better. There is s history with mobile phones, but elsewhere as well. Exclusive, premium, luxury are never claimed, especially on web sites, if other than high prices. #3
Web content or printed material has no errors in spelling or syntax. I only am barely fluent in English. Their website is not. #4
Models are released over time. A single model indicates a lot of new or unique ideas, limited experience with product. A lot of models with very similar features released about the same time indicates lack of experience as does non-unique parts like shared screen sizes or lack of features or functions not available elsewhere. #5 and #6
Claims made that are not compared to avoid exposure as invalid. See post consumer recycle claim, foldable premium claim for obvious doubt generators. #7
There is a lot more to be skeptical of. I also wonder what seasoned Android developer would pay full retail for one to use dail While non-devopers aren't excluded, are there no standards for what is advocated with a kick-back revenue component?

I definitely had the same reaction...and I was sure most of it was lost in translation -- but looking at OP's posting history, all other posts are well spoken not broken English well enough, so.....
I barely get the gist of what OP's saying; there's an ad that may or may not be legit...? Even the numbers counting the listed reasons are at the end of the sentence? Maybe the original language is like Hebrew or Middle Eastern and writes from right to left?
