Huawei P20 Pro 8Gb ram 128gb rom CLT-L00

Hi, I have bought a huawei p20 pro with 8gb of ram and 128gb of storage. I have never seen the likes of it but it is a chinese version. I thought it was not original at first, but i checked the serial number on Huawei's site and it is original! Now i want to debrand it as i need to install the EU firmware. Will this decrease the 8gb of ram to 6gb?

Since when Software changes effect the Hardware, that if you use some other software it will decrease or increase your Hardware capabilities? So answer is no it won't effect any Hardware.

take a screenshot of your specs, it should keep them intact after rebranding.

Hilarious... well as i recall since i would be changing my kernel, doesn't the allowed size of ram decrease? I had an xperia x8 back in the day and with a particular kernel, I had gained more ram!

Maybe it's a new model or a fake, I just got a second hand Chinese version and it is called CLT-AL00 not CLT-L00. And it comes with the standard 6gb of ram.
Download antutu benchmark and see if it recognise your model.
Secondary can you please point me in the right direction for rebranding the phone so it becomes an European version?
Thanks

No it is no fake. When the p20 pro got released i read a review with official huawei statment about the 8gb model. If i find it again i will post it here. It was a special edition like the rs porsche etc.

Rog 2 or not

Hi everybody, I'm selling my Zenfone 6z to buy a new phone i love the rog phone 2 also if it has not a SD slot (I use SD to keep documents when I change phone). My question is: is it worth to buy a 899 Euro phone with snapdragon 855+ while next April there will be a lot of new snapdragon 865 phones even cheaper (redmi,realme,etc)?
Second question do both USB type c port support otg?
Thanks!

If u can afford and want the absolute newest and best u can wait...

Redmi and Realme isnt the same level as the ROGPHONE 2...
I myself have a Redmi Note 8 Pro just for macro shots. The rest is done on my ROGPHONE 2.

Well, thank you for your answer, my only doubt about redmi and realme, also oppo, is the software. If I'll buy one of them, the redmi k30 pro is interesting, I change the software for sure, I prefer android stock roms.

it's worth it if you buy tencent version and flash international software. you can get it for as low as 450 euros.

As the collegue above said, is so, so worthy if you buy the 430€ tencent version (now it's around 450€ normally). It's an amazing phone for daily use. Just the camera is an 8.5/10 with A10 (better than A9), but with GCam the results are amazing enough. Buy it!! I bought it like some weeks ago

Well, I found the tencent 12/512 at 800 euros, the global at 899 euro, but the tencent has less lte bands and here in Italy is better to get as many as you can... And for 99 Euros less I will get just 3 months warranty instead of normal 2 years...

SD 865 is now the standard.
90 to 120 Hz also becoming standard.
If the heavy weight, lack of 5g, no IR blaster or SD card and average camera aren't a problem for you then this is an excellent all round phone.

Well 5g is not a very big problem, it will take a couple of year to work in entire Italian territory. The IR and SD are options i like, but have you any valid alternative?

I haven't really been looking for alternatives since I got this phone.
A quick search suggested the Poco X2 / Redmi K30.....mid range phone though...

Yes, i discovered also Vivo Nex but I will not get stock Android...So at this point I think I'll go for rog 2 12/512 and I'll use GCam for camera and otg for my SD documents, maybe I can find a small otg adapter and keep it always connected to the phone. Thanks!

Question Different seal queation

Hi guys I've just received my s21 ultra from sky mobile UK as I sent my other one back due to dust under the lenses to Samsung UK
But the one from sky I think is an import as the seal is different I'll post a pic
It's the first time I've had anything like that just asking if anyone else has had similar things and should it still function ect as a original UK veriant
Thanks

Been in touch with sky mobile and they assure me it's new and that it might be something to do with the whole Brexit thing thats gone on
Can I ask I had the s21 ultra off Samsung UK website which I got the 512gb 16gb version
I have the 256bg 12gb from sky as they didn't have the larger one is they no difference at all apart from the memory and ram? Are all the s21 ultras identical apart from this and obviously the exynos and snapdragon

Question Larger capacity Ultras faster? 128GB benchmark included.

Hi all,
I'm trying to find out if there is a performance difference when it comes to storage between the 128gb and higher spec ultras. As I understand it, bigger SSD devices are generally faster.
I ran benchmark against a 128gb model (linked below.) Can someone with a 256 or 512 model post their results?
many thanks in advance!
My Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G (SDM888) scored 27292 in the PCMark Storage 2.0 Android benchmark test. http://bit.ly/pcmark-android
Passmark storage test was around 78,000 I believe.

256GB Exynos model (SM-G998B) so maybe not comparable, but: I got PC Mark 2.0 storage test = 30329.

This used to be the case for SDDs many moons ago (I haven't checked lately TBH). I would not be surprised to find better performance in higher capacity, I think it mostly has to do with optimized cell access.

Thanks for the feedback y'all! Looking around today I can only find 512GB international models so this may be a moot point.
I had a 512GB ordered from Samsung a few weeks ago when you could still get them on their website, but I cancelled the order thinking the price might come down when the S22 is announced. Just couldn't justify paying full price for last years tech.
T-Mobile still wants $1200 for a 128gb model, so I'm thinking I'll just wait for the 22.

The 22 looks to be an evolutionary upgrade with not much new over the S21 Ultra....smart money is on the discounted S21 since they appear to be virtually the same minus an S pen

I would purchase the S21 Ultra for a few reasons. First being Android 12 is a disaster, it's still nowhere near stable. The new Exynos SoC for the S22 is having serious production issues, only a handful of chipsets are usable from an entire wafer. The S22 Ultra will cost more money but few feature upgrades. The S-Pen (which works on an S21), a bit of a camera tweek, faster charging and new colors. Samsung needs help, it's no longer a great value.

S21 256 GB - 25000.

Well I found one place selling the US 512GB version for $1700 on ebay, but that's the cheapest I could find. Might have to just cave in and get the 128GB from TMO for $1200.

More googling revealed that the RAM in the 16GB model is probably also faster.
"At 6,400 megabits per second (Mb/s), the new LPDDR5 is about 16 percent faster than the 12Gb LPDDR5 (5,500Mb/s) found in most of today’s flagship mobile devices. When made into a 16GB package, the LPDDR5 can transfer about 10 5GB-sized full-HD movies, or 51.2GB of data, in one second."
From: https://news.samsung.com/global/sam...dr5-dram-at-worlds-largest-semiconductor-line

The test is probably not reliable then.

I redid the passmark test and here's what I got for disk and memory on the 128GB:
Disk: 74,902
Memory: 31,918

You can buy the 512GB Snapdragon variant for $1,349.00. I'll PM you a couple of links. Internal Storage doesn't really change speed of a device, not to a degree where you'll see a big difference.

General Very Disappointed in OnePlus

The OP 10 Pro is the second time OP has truly disappointed me. The phone is only available with 128GB in the US. For a "pro" model, this is a joke. The $900 price puts it right at a PIxel 6 Pro and S22+ price. There is 0 reason to get the OnePlus vs those two, considering both have substantially better cameras, more support for accessories, and much bigger communities on XDA.
My most recent OP was the 9 (non-pro). I've been very disappointed with the cameras, as even an old Pixel 3 I have takes better pics in most conditions. I replaced it about a month ago with a Korean s20 Ultra (so I can root), and I'm never going back. Much better camera, so many case options, and even though the processor is an older model, it feels just as fast. Went with the 20 vs 21 for sdcard support, and having an extra 512gb for $60 is great. I have all my pics and vids ever on the phone. All OSM for US, Canada, and Mexico, tons of music on the phone for flying (which I do a lot).
I've been a long time OP supporter, right from the OP1, and have had every phone except the OP2. They seemed to lose their way with the 7 (I had to get a chinese model since I didn't want the pro), and have been on a decline ever since, charging more but not offering anything better except the new snapdragon processor.
Sorry for the rant. I'm sure the 10 pro will be a decent phone. Right on par with the 9 pro, which was a decent phone. I'm just not excited about OP releases any more, when I used to be online hitting refresh for the sale to open.
Doesn't help that Jerryrig snapped the phone in half very easily. Be careful, these look fragile.

No SD card slot regardless of the internal memory capacity is a severe handicap. Even 500gb internal memory isn't enough let alone 128gb without an SD card. Having a OS drive and data drive(s) is the best way to run any PC or smartphone.
Samsung has also dropped the Note and the ball on all their current Flagships.
They screwed their loyal power users Apple bad.
Google Adroid emulated Apple by adopting cpu cycling sucking, user unfriendly scoped storage.
Android 11 and up suck Apple bad now.
I have 2 N10+'s, the second new one was bought 5 months ago. One is running on 9, the newer one on 10.
Whatever. I'm good for a couple years.

OEM new device releases are always a rollercoaster
I just ordered the Global black 128gb 10 Pro to take it for a spin....

No dual-sim USA. No 256gb USA. Both deal-breakers for me.
I spoke with my money when I canceled and bought a pixel 6 pro instead.

Pretty much this - I can't see a single advantage the OP10Pro has over the Pixel 6 Pro or s22 + or ultra. Granted, the sammy is a little more expensive.

I got the OP 10 Pro and I don't like the design after seeing it with my naked eyes and I'm gonna return this and get an S22 Plus!

AH, yeah! Fromt the 6 is quite a big move indeed!
I came from the 8Pro, not a crazy difference, but with the trade-in I got just a little less of what I paid for at last year's Amazon Black Friday

I don't understand why anyone would buy this phone. Performance is the same or worse than a 9 Pro depending on what you are doing, has less storage and ram, is more fragile, and the camera system overall is worse. This phone is a flop.

Another interesting fact is that our local amazon has gone down in price. For the first two days it was 1029Euro, then they lowered the price by 6% to 964Euro.
Not much, but still something. Plus headphones (OnePlus Buds Pro) on sale in preorder and the price becomes bearable

I can test it for one day and here are few things...
80W and 65W are almost the same
Stereo speaker downgrade
With 50/50 mobile/wifi up to 5h SOT
No OxygenOS (its more ColorOS with Oxygen skin)
Front camera is much better
Yes, no IP68

Hey,
You got the 10.. I just received mine today, good t see you.
Re: the OP.... Soon as there's some good pixel ROMs the photos back storage will be unlimited, 128GB for the most part is more than enough, at the end of the day it's a phone, would be nice to have more but not the end of the world.
Regarding the RAM, I'm not too upset by it.. should use less battery being 8 and not 12.. I don't think that there will be a performance hit.
Rest of the hardware is the same so I'm happy with it.
Guess if you really need 12 and 256 plus then I think your only option would be to buy direct.
