I was just given this as a gift. I have AT&T, but it is sim locked to China Telecom. It says 4G is locked by China Telecom. Phone calls, text, and EDGE (2G) work for me with my AT&T sim. If I were to sim unlock it, will LTE then work for me? It is the CRR-UL00 version.
Also curious about rooting and installing google play services. Any advice?
Does anyone know where to purchase one of these in the states? Been looking all over the place with no luck.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction so I can pick one of these up in the states? Thanks!
i want to buy this aswell (living in USA).
I found the 128gb version availible here. http://welectronics.com/gsm/HUAWEI/...Dgx7U-pfjmFq25GnZoF_EUOocEIn1wvMPsaApEc8P8HAQ
$999.99
At that price I might as well just pick up a flagship phone here and save some money. Haha

Yeah I hear ya! I was looking for something "different " than the typical American phones and found this. Then I saw the price and was like nope. But may I suggest the mate 7. Yeah it's a year old, but still a killer phone. I'm ordering it next week

Yeah the Mate 7 is a killer phone and I have been contemplating it. Let me know how you like it and I'll really consider it. I just want something better than my Note 4.
@ogre del - The above website has ps2 for $219. Wtf!!
That site is insane lol
Found on amazon the 64gb version for 850, or on alliexpress the 64gb version is anywhere from 675-800. I'm contumplating ordering it from allie, but have never dealt with them. Anyone here ever use alliexpress?

Here's a link to play store app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alibaba.aliexpresshd
I am confused, as gsmarena.com says it does, and if you go on to honor.co.uk and look at specs it says it has NFC.
On the other hand if you Google Honor Play NFC nfc.com says it doesn't have it, and sellers on aliexpress,gearbest,etc. say no NFC.
Which is it?!
Doesn't have... Confirmed with honor

this is a a copy paste from the Aliexpress seller's page. Could it be it doesn't have it in China?

Let me make it clear guys, there are 3 versions of Honor play.
1. COR-L29 which is the GLOBAL variant and has NFC + wideVine L1 level DRM
2. COR-AL10 which is the Indian variant and does NOT have NFC, also only has WideVine L3 level DRM
3. COR-AL00 which is the Chinese variant and just like the Indian one does not have NFC and only has WideVine L3 level DRM.
I hope this solves your queries.

You could use this app, to check whether your phone supports NFC or not.

Thanks, but when I get my phone I'll be able to see in the settings I guess. Unless this app shows a "hidden" NFC? Is that even a thing?

I don't think hidden NFC is a thing. Also yes you would be able to see the NFC within the settings, it if your phone has it. I have a COR-AL00 variant and I do not have NFC, but it's strange that Honor was supposed to ship Indian variant but they are shipping AL00 which is Chinese? I got this information from gsmArena probably they messed something up.
Everything is very unclear, honor needs to be a little more transparent.

It's a bit embarrassing for Honor that having spent time working out how their site works it's impossible to download the manual - you get the poor english "sorry no search result" when you try.
Maybe the manual is available for other regions. I can't post URLs but you could try at hihonor.com, then the path global/support/phones/honorplay

Hi there, mine is Cor-l29 and have NFC. It's the global version.
So I got my phone is the 6GB version COR-TL00 and unfortunately it doesn't have NFC. not a deal breaker for me though. Otherwise the phone is great.
I was planning on importing a few P30 Pro's from China to the US. Have a cousin who sells phones over there on commission and was planning to help her out.
Will there be any problems with the Chinese version in the US? I assume I can load a google play store APK. I am using T-Mobile for my provider. I think the modem and bands for T-Mobile and the P30 would work too?
Hoping there wont be many problems. Thanks!

You won't be able to change launcher (well you can if you install a secondary launcher and remove the stock one via adb) and also you will be missing some lte bands.

I think the phone is missing band 66 and 71? Let me know if I am wrong. I know that band 71 isnt coming to my area in a long time. How do I check what band my area is using?

Yeah 66, you can refer here.Not really sure about the area specific part.
How much is it in China? L29?
so are there no problems with the China version such as plagued the Mate 20 pro? for example, google assistant and google pay work without problems on the china p30? is there another thread? I can't seem to find one

It'll be the same as there's no google support in china. Why don't you order from Malaysia or Singapore ? Its L29 global version and much cheaper. Pm me if you need some help.

Are you speaking from experience or just saying this because google play is not installed by default on phones and google is blocked in China? These were specific issues with the last phone.. google assistant and google pay problems.
With the Mate 20 pro, Huawei made it easy to install the play store (so that means services was also installed)

Playstore isn't an issue. Framework already comes pre-installed. You just need to install the apk however most sellers already do this for you. Almost all china models comes with google framework pre-installed now. In regards of the voice assistant when you press the power button, that i'm not sure if you'll be able to set google assistant. Main issue will be the obvious chinese recovery menu and a few bloatware and the ability to not change the launcher. You can get the launcher changed by installing a secondary launcher and debloating the stock one via adb. China version won't pass safetynet too.
With Chinese Rom you will get Chinese bloatware as which can be partially deleted from the face of it, and also some no delectable apps like Huawei voice assistant and browser, and you will spot some Chinese font here and there like contacts apps bringing up Chinese yellow book contacts.
Hi folks,
I'm interested in buying this phone. It looks like a good option.
However, I'm not quite sure that there is a global version. Anyone got this phone already outside of China and can approve that the AliExpress 'global' version actually works?
Thanks,
FM

No, there is no global version (with band 20) and it is very unlike that it will ever be. If you can live without band 20 you can buy the chinese version and flash Xiaomi.eu.
yesterday some aliexpress sellers have began to offer mi 9 lite, it's rumoured it will be cc9 global version
there's an antutu score for mi a3 pro matching the cc9
i hope they'll release it with android one
It's really a shame. It has NFC, and is a verified device for Google services, but it still can't run Google Pay with latest Google Services.
Nicky, you own it?
