In Europe we know there is only the 64 and 128 versions of this phone but there is also a Hong Kong version available with 8/256 which to me seems like a better option if you can get it. And also in Hong Kong this varient comes with a UK plug,
Currently only one site I know of seems to be selling this varient,eglobal:
https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-8gb-256gb-dual-sim-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-black-1.html
My question to anyone is ,Have they bought this one ?
Or do they know of anywhere where you could buy it factory sealed as it seams like a pretty sweet deal which would be worth getting.
Although Eglobal have a Fairly respectable reputation,I. Not sure if what they are listing is just a k20 pro

That's interesting. The global MIUI site does list the Mi 9T Pro with upto 8/256 GB, so in markets outside of Europe, and maybe Europe later, this is a genuine version. I'm not aware that it's been officially released yet outside of Europe, but maybe it will be in the next few days. Everything eGlobal say certainly points to it be genuine.

Pity, not available in Europe apart from possibly on eglobal.
Problem with eglobal is they have essentially copied the description and specs from their k20 pro listing and they include k20 pro in the title of the listing in brackets which could mean it is in fact a k20 pro with a global rom, although they do include band 20 in specs,but it is very hard to confidently buy from them. Their support is no good either , otherwise I would ask,but All they do is give out generic replies
Spotted it on Wanda mobile,though a bit more on the expensive side.

Seems only eglobal and Wanda mobile that I've seen Haven't even seen it on Ali Express or any of them sites. Dont really trust the two mentioned sites to buy so for now I am unsure,
Wanda mobile would be reliable but don't like the price especially shipping to Ireland for me but if you in UK , shipping free with them

november 15, its been confirmed.
That seems like forever. Heard a rumor that the US is only getting the Pro variant.
Anyone has a list countries that will have Mate 10 for sale? So far it seems that only pro will be availabe in my country.
I have only found the launch countries..
At launch the Huawei Mate 10 64GB will launch late October in more than ten countries including Mexico, Spain and the UAE.
In mid-November the Mate 10 Pro will launch in more than two dozen countries including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Ireland.
The ultra-premium Mate 10 Porsche Design edition will launch in Mid November 2017.

I am in the UK? Where do you think it's best to get the Mate 10? It's not being released in the UK yet. Should I get a Chinese version or should I buy from Spain or Mexico as it will likely have a European ROM which would be better for warranty reasons?
Has anyone used the hua wei phone? any suggestions ?
You can buy it here. Even the 6gb 128gb variant and choose international ROM.

I think people confused the "First wave" release countries and rumored that those not in the list will never get the pro model.
Also note that in first three month the re sellers from China will bloat the price of the phone very high. Not worth it.

Last year Mate 9 launch was global while Mate 9 pro was unveiled in China only later and released slowly in selected countries. However this time, both model were released together in an internationally arena in Europe and would be pointless if one model does not even release in huge chunk of the market. It makes sense they will release differently in different countries because of different demand and Huawei's ability to get the devices on time into the market.
Pretty sure ME and East Asian countries will get both models. Pro in UAE will release on mid November while the standard model already available for preorder and will be delivered from October 30 as i understand.
See Mate 10 preorder for UAE: http://consumer.huawei.com/ae-en/campaign/mate10-pre-order-en/
However US is altogether a different story as Huawei is still trying to make a big presence there while in other countries they are widely established.

Its already been pushed from 30.10 to 02.11, I guess to higher demand .. Strangest part is the price of mate 10 in UAE (Dubai/Abu Dhabi stores). Its "just" 530 EUR/626 USD (local currency AED 2,299).. I am not sure what am I missing there, but I know for a fact that they don't have VAT or that type of tax so that price is final. Maybe when its shipped outside it gets some sort of customs duty, but my friend will buy one like for his personal usage and bring it to me in mid November.. Maybe huawei is trying to conquer that market with a new mode with "cheaper than elsewhere" policy

No doubt tax is reason why prices are higher in Europe. The price in Malaysia is also similar to price in UAE. And they are almost similar to price in China.
The pro model is priced high even in China. The 6+64gb at 4489CNY and 6+128 at 5399CNY. So one can expect UAE price to be close to 2850AED and 3150AED. To be fair the Mate 9 pro was priced similarly but not sure if 150$ difference between the two is justified for getting an 18:9 FHD+ Amoled display, slightly sleeker build and smaller bezel, IP67 and 6gb ram. I like the Mate 10 pro (except for fp location) but still need convincing the price is worth it considering the drop in price for Samsung S8/S8+.

Yes the price is cheaper in the Middle East,i kow cause i got the mate 9 for 200$ cheaper than the price that was for Europe,so i guess the mate 10 will be around 600$ here in Lebanon.

Hi mate. I’m in the UK too and ordered it from Giztop. I ordered the 512GB model and it came to roughly £930 with shipping and 2 free gifts - the Aero Cooler and the official case. Pretty expensive but I doubt the phone will actually launch in the UK on 4th September as earlier mentioned so I can’t be bothered to wait another month.
You can also try out Aliexpress or Liaow. Both have it in stock and sometimes there are ones on eBay too.
Cheers.

I was considering the 512GB version from giztop and enjoying the global ROM they would load, but I don't mind waiting another few weeks for the official one with a locked bootloader so I can get OTA's and what not.

if anyone have bought this version, can you share the ROM version whether its WW or CN,TW. I know this isn't much of a big deal for some.
any suggestions or screen shots will be helpful.
Also i've consideration to go with Tencent Edition, but wanted to get the highest spec one.

I personally think you're crazy if you pay almost double the price for that upgrade. The RAM you won't need and to pay $400 more for the storage is nuts. Get the 128GB version and save yourself some money

You do make sense, but honestly Its not big of deal for me as i bought Note 9 last year for the same price, i have been a sam/apple guy for years. I know 900~1000 $ for a phone sounds ludicrous for many. That's where the high spec phone NA market exists.
The Tencent edition is promising as its 545USD in ebay, but there is a lot of discussions regarding 4G bands not supported, so i was skeptical with thought.
my only confusion is aliexpress selling global version WW(Elite Version) 12GB/512GB or its Chinese Version or other.

According to giztop and many other sources, the 128GB version lacks important LTE bands.
Personally, it's worth it for the storage, but the bands can be very important.
I pre-ordered Tencent version 8gb 128gb from Banggood for 497€. Good price.
giztop is the best
ship very fast 12 days on italy
no taxes
paid with paypal a little bit more but high quality service

Be careful from the looks of this it looks like the Chinese version with the global version flashed on-top. Why? Because in the specs it has 2x2mimo while the global should be 4x4mimo
Is there anywhere to buy the phone yet? With shipping to the UK?

As for the CN Variants, the official ASUS Store are selling them with the Global ROM here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001260528182.html
And the Global Variants, the official ASUS Store are selling them here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001274717450.html

What is your experience with Aliexpress? Is it a trust worthy place to buy phones for shipment to USA?

Being a frequent buyer from Aliexpress, I can tell you it is indeed trustworthy, the only downside is the shipping delivery time, that can take at least one month to deliver you product.
If for some reason your product isn't delivered or you want to return it, you can do it without a hassle.

That's is correct, is the "International Version" which means is the CN Variant with Global ROM.
Global won't be out until September.

This year's GAME TENCENT chinese model rog phone 3 has global rom and not chinese and also support google store and ota upgrades the only downside is that has less memory models and some 4g bands missing for some countries.
I think this year's GAME TENCENT rog phone 3 might be a far better value for money than the last year's chinese model.

Yes i know CN Variant with Global rom i am a ROG Phone 1 International user since 2018, so for me its best to upgrade to the International Variant with "Republic of Gamers" at the back.

How do you know they will get OTA? other than what is been claimed in ad poster?
Anyone own one and got OTA?
I've ordered mine from an Irish store called DID electrical. did.ie They ship to Ireland only for €5, so a parcel motel service might be needed.
They have two versions listed on the site:
ZS661KS-6A022 (Rog edition 12GB, 512GB, SD865+)
ZS661KS-1A010 (Strix Edition 8GB, 256GB SD865)
I've ordered the ZS661KS-6A022 and after ordering I got an update to say there would be a 10 day wait before its in store ready to ship. I ordered on the 27th of July, so will update if it takes longer or any change in this. The codes they have listed seem to be unique in that I cant find them mentioned online anywhere, but I think that might be a type o. They are a reputable store with a number of bricks and mortar stores in Ireland, so will see if its just a type o. I was in my local store today looking at new fridges and there was noting for the ROG Phone 3 in there, so I am guessing its an online order only.
I’ve noticed EBay have a lot of Chinese sellers now, just haven’t ordered yet.
There is also a none 865 plus version going around

aliexpress and alibaba.go for the verified sellers.
Just to update on the above, DID got back to me to say there is a delay due to covid-19 and they wont have it in till the first week in September. I am guessing these are the global model and are infact just not available till the 5th of September.
If I want to use this phone in the US on T-Mobile should I wait for the US release? Anyone know when that is?

Got my phone today on the 5th and it was the WW version... funny that. Sadly, after setting it up and playing a few games, I noticed that it was not the correct version of the phone that I had ordered. It was the 8GB/256GB version of the phone not the 12GB/512GB that I had ordered. So they have to talk to a manager tomorrow and I should be getting a replacement. That said how long will I have to wait for that. So back to using my ROG Phone for the time being.
If anyone ordered from DID in Ireland, check your specs. You might have gotten mine if you ordered the lower spec

Got a 12gb 512 version on Ebay. All tmo bands work
I'm planning to buy the SD 888 version but unfortunately it's not sold in europe.
I've heard of many people who import the phone from HK, China or US. But I can't find the right websites.
Can anyone help me with that? Maybe a tip for cheap sites or something would be so nice
If you know someone in the US or HK?
Wondamobile.com had the China Snapdragon model in stock last time I checked.
Wondamobile.com got mine there im from sweden.
Thanks guys! I thought maybe someone lives in US and could tell me a few of their shop names
Wondamobile is very expensive...so sad.
Got mine from eglobalcentraleu.com, but also checked Wondamobile and tradingshenzhen.com before taking the plunge.

Are you joking now? WondaMobile prices are less than what you have in your country of living! Also, the version you should go for is Hong Kong or Taiwan! The chinese one has no Google services for you.
If you don't like to deal with Wonda .. check out https://eu.etoren.com/
But i recommend Wonda because they have better service.
Another thing, why you are looking for Snapdragon variant? I had that (bought from Wonda) for about 3 months but i sold it and got the Exynos that is sold in Europe, i find the battery life a little better with Exynos than Snapdragon. The performance is the same, i felt that Exynos has more power sometimes than Snapdragon.
Don't forget that you get only 1 year warranty (it's not valid within Europe) when you buy any Snapdragon version, you need to return the phone to the store you bought it from and they fix it by themselves which means they don't send it further to Samsung workshop ... you have to pay for the shipment almost 50 USD... But with Exynos, you have 2 years warranty within EU and you don't need to ship it anywhere, just look for Samsung Workshop that is close to you and drop it off there.
A last thing also, you have to accept that some features may not work well if you import your phone from these asian countries or even from America. The same with the 3G/4G/5G networks, especially 5G, it is not supporting more than one band in Europe, so you will have to live with that if you want to go for Snapdragon variant.
