Hi, I can't seem to find anything that compares different models within OnePlus 10 pro range.
I want to buy on and local guy has a NE2210 available but I want to see what are differences if anyone has a comparison list of all NExxx.
Thanks
hi, no difference. only regional software differences. legal obligations. There are Chinese or global model ranges, each with only a 5g difference, but they both work.

Hi XDians,
First little background, I live in India. I had oneplus x(ONYX) which i dropped and it didn't survive. I wanted to buy oneplus 3T. So i started surfing for ads on olx(a website to buy or sell stuff just like local ebay). So i got a deal that i was offered chinese version of oneplus 3T(A3010) at less rates.
I have few questions. I wanted to ask to if should i go for this? and whats difference between Chinese version and International version? would this phone be compatible with bands of Indian operators in India?
A Chinese version comes with an H2OS rather than OOS, which is adapted to comply with Chinese law, but IIRC you can flash OOS on a A3010 just like regular 3T.
About compatibility with operators - look up at https://willmyphonework.net/
I'm trying to understand the comparisons and the best one to go for.
I've recently become aware of the phones since I'm now hunting one for my wife.
I got excited to watch a review about the Redmi K20 Pro until I understood it was primarily for the Chinese & Indian market, and it doesn't support band 20.
I'm in the UK so it looks like I must import one and be mindful of the lack of band 20. Importing is not an issue for me since I've done with my Xiaomi Max 3 when it first came out.
But then I started to get a little confused because the review was comparing it to a Xiaomi Mi 9T and other sites said they were identical. They're not though as the Redmi has a better CPU but it is however, the same as the 9T 'Pro'. I realised (especially because of the title of this forum!) that the two Pros are the same except the 9T Pro is for the European market. Please let me know if I'm wrong at this point.
So, now for me, it comes down to the price versus band 20. Does anyone know when the 9T Pro is being released if not already because I can only find it to pre-order?
Also, will the difference between the 2 phones only be the bands?
I get the feeling the 9T Pro is going to be more expensive, how much I don't know but if it's going to be long time before it's released, I will consider the Redmi K20 Pro instead.
If you can see what my predicaments are then I'd be grateful for any advice about this and recommendations.
Thanks very much.
So i bought the k20 pro a few weeks ago and received it last Friday. The LTE connectivity is good for me in the Netherlands.
A friend of mine bought the mi 9t pro last week trough dutch smartphone seller belsimpel.nl and received his phone yesterday.
The phones are exactly the same, hardware wise. Firmware wise they differ. The 9T pro firmware has support for band 20, like you said.
But in theory the k20 pro should be able to support it band 20 because there is no hardware difference.
At the moment it is not clear yet whether the European firmware can be installed on the k20 pro since it is Qualcomm proprietary software. (this is what i read somewhere on this forum, correct me if iam wrong anyone)
Perhaps someone will be able to find a solution for that, but i don't know for sure whether its possible.
So, I'm looking to buy ROG 2 but the variant in US is quite expensive. With taxes, it comes out to be close to $1000.
I'm looking on eBay and it seems like a lot of sellers are selling asus rog 2 tencent variant with global ROM.
Is this legit?
With global ROM, Chinese tencent variant works with all bands in US (on AT&T)?
According to all sellers, Chinese tencent variant works on GSM / AT&T and support play store and should get updates like a global variant from Asus. Is that true?
I thought Chinese tencent variant is missing some bands and it's a hardware limitation. How installing global ROM will start supporting all bands?
Just curious what variant were announced in Taiwan and India? Is it worth buying Taiwan variant? Some sellers are selling that too.
Basically I need some suggesting so I'm not mislead by sellers on eBay. I need to use it with AT&T. Will I be able to get 4G LTE? Will I be able to use AT&T hotspot?
Please advise.
I think it's true that band support is a hardware limitation. Even if it is a software change and you get the global bands, I still would only suggest buying the U.S. version (or whatever is local to your area) for two big reasons. Warranty, and customer service. Buying grey market versions off eBay will get you the phone cheaper, but you'll have no Asus warranty. You may have a warranty through the seller, but now you're dealing with someone overseas. That means you have to question the legitimacy of the seller, and there's a bigger hassle factor involved. If you have a tech support need you're unlikely to get it from Asus because you're using the phone in a way it wasn't approved for.
If you're willing to take those risks, then go for it. It's just not for me at any price.
Thank you @Mr_Mooncatt for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it. I guess the price of a US variant is quite demotivating since it's almost double (including taxes and all) compared to a global variant. So one may question if paying double $$ justifies the value or not. That's all. Though I agree with all the points you mentioned.
Keep in mind that all the tencent versions with WW ROM is not official device from Asus.
Asus has put this as a warning on their forum, in the Asus Rog phone 2 section.
They are saying tencent version only comes with CN ROM and does not come with WW ROM and those tencent version with WW ROM is modified device and may not have valid warranty and no working FOTA.
Is it a software thing that makes the band selection different between the two variants?
Is it possible to flash Global modem to China version to get the Global bands? or is there a physical difference?
OR
Does anyone think Xiaomi will come out with a 512gb global version in the future?
The different bands are hardware, there's nothing you can do about it.
Also, no, 100% they won't release any global 512gb version in the future.
Years ago there were some Qualcomm tools called QPST Tool and QXDM tool or something like that. I read they were used to "unlock" additional bands... But like I said, that was years ago, so no idea if it would work on the Mi 11 Ultra. Probably not.

Even if adding bands would be a thing...how many more does one even need? Basically all bands are there (except 66 which is prolly a us band).
It's cheaper for them to make one phone from a production standpoint than make ones with different bands for every market they plan to sell it in
I am gonna buy a Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 512gb 12gb ram version, however there's no person ... "I just talked to our technicians, and maximum probable it's going to now not work and if it does then you will ... With the frequency bands as this cellphone is fashioned consistent with the Chinese ... Currently on miui international 12.Zero.3 QJZMIXM I'm in Australia if that matters.

I'm interested in buying the Global variant from Giztop. The X3 is 720$ and the Pro Variant is 900$. The specs look identical expect for the 870 and 888. One could also argue the 870 Is the better chipset due to the 888 Heating issues. Also I live in the united states, will the Charger included work in my country or will I need to get an adapter??
I have a x3 pro at the moment, i got the global variant, so EU adapter, i believe if u get the global version you get the EU adapter and need to use your own converter, if you want the 888 variant go for it, since the only main difference is the specs and storage, camera is the same, its up to you, you can also check some sites, but the specs remain almost the same, regarding to the adapter as i said, you can ask the retail / the site your getting it from, if its possible to include an USA adaptater or sell it with the USA charger
And for the heating issues, i don't have those as people sometimes say, if you're looking for root / install custom roms or other stuff, this phone is not for you since there is no way to root or develepment, get instead mi 11/mi 11 ultra that is farily the same price or even cheaper
Is the Find X3 eligible for the Android 12 beta, or is that for the Pro version only?
