I am the owner of both the Honor 7 Euro 16GB version (PLK-L01) and the Chinese 64GB version (PLK-AL10) so I thought it would be useful to put together some of the differences in case anyone is considering one or the other. I will list the Euro device feature vs Chinese device feature:
Hardware
Cardboard box vs Solid Plastic presentation box which doubles as a bedside stand
16GB vs 64GB
No NFC vs NFC
Software
Google Apps preloaded vs Google Play Store must be installed via the Honor Market and then apps installed from there
No call recording vs Built-in call recording
Nav bar is configurable but not hideable vs Nav bar is configurable and also hideable
3rd tab on Dialler is SMS messages vs 3rd tab on Dialler is "Yellow Pages" which is a Chinese equivalent of True Dialler and of no real use outside China (the SMS app is separate to the dialler, but cannot be disabled)
A little bloatware vs A little more bloatware, most of which can be uninstalled
The Chinese version can be used quite nicely in Europe with very little Chinese showing up. Both devices have Marshmallow beta versions available, though I suspect the Chinese version will get updates sooner as they won't have to go through Google accreditation.
The devices are outwardly visibly the same.
Thanks I really wanted to see something like this. But a little mistake was made - 16gb vs 64gb ROM not RAM ;D

Are you sure? If it was Read Only Memory, you wouldn't be able to save anything to it. Lol

Nope, I'm sure. ROM is divided in to partitions one for the system files which we don't have acces to and the other one wich is for the apps, video, music, photos, all the files we store in the phone. It's the permanent memory, while RAM is temporary memory which resets everytime you clear it or turning off the phone/computer. European honor has 2GB RAM and Chinese has 3GB RAM

LTE Bands
Hi AMoosa, are you able to test differencies in FDD LTE bands support between this two versions? Mainly if chinese version suport FDD LTE B7 2600 MHz band. Thansk.
there is however another difference, the Chinese one is far more expensive to obtain.......
With the discounts that Huawei sometimes posts, in the UK the European costs 209GBP and the Chinese one I haven't seen cheaper than 317GBP online.....
Chinese honor 7 doesn't have 4g in 800mhz band, in europe . It's disabled

You are right. My 16GB cost 209.99 and the Chinese one cost 320. However, you get a lot more for the extra 110 quid - 4 times as much memory, NFC, and more functionality in call recording etc. I felt it was worth it. Normally phones cost 100 more for each memory step eg 16GB to 32GB.

Big changes:
-aluminum frame replaced by chrome plastic frame
-No microsd support, default 32GB storage in device
-Different placement of headphone jack
Internals are all the same. This is believed to be the Z1s 'refresh' that people were talking about being released. Looks like an inferior version of the current Z1, albeit a little bit lighter.
The most important thing is support for LTE-TDD I think as I can't open the link now.
And another why you guys focus on the Z1's follower, at least SoC or some more important things added like nexus 5's Senors batch access. Other small change not a big deal for sell the phone in your hand and get a new one.If Sony begin the rule in world like in Japan, the phone will refresh 3 months, and what, told yourself I must get the new one?
Sorry for the last part but can't stand for some guys wish to ruin such a good phone.
it is just a variant rather than "updated" Z1. it is almost identical with just minor changes rather than improvements.
This is just the China Mobile variant of the Z1, nothing more. China Unicom's version was the L39, this will be the L39t. China Mobile runs their own proprietary version of CDMA and this device will be compatible with their TD-LTE bands. If you live in China that's a great thing, outside of China this will only work on 3G bands.

Hello,
I have a friend who has the Mate 8 in version 64Go/3Go with and model NXT-AL10.
He has setuped his phone for France ie DL play store, and change some stuff but he doesn't change the rom for a NXT-L29.
So everything works but the logo "4G+" is never displayed.
He has tried all mobile phone providers : Orange, Bouygues Telecom, Free, RED.
It never happened. Always 4G but never 4G+.
When he try to benchmark the network he has a high rate for a 4G connection but never go beyond the theorical value of a 4G rate.
So he supposes that the logo and rates are 4G (he hopes having the logo 4G and the rate of 4G+ connnection but in fact No).
Do you have an idea of this issue ?
Best Regads,
NXT-AL10, stock rom, stock bootloader, no root or bl unlock - CA works fine in Poland.

The 4G+ symbol is not used by Huawei, so don't worry.
Ok so that's why it is never displayed.
Many thanks themissionimpossible.
He told me on his Mate 7 (he had just before) it was displayed 4G+.
So that why he is surprised that is doesn't work now on the Mate 8.
I suppose that is due to the rom NXT-AL10.
The chinese mobile does not try to merge frequencies 2600Mhz and 800Mhz that are the 2 frequencies used for 4G+ connection in France.
But I am not sure that is the source isssue.
On this French website about 4G+ in France the Mate 8 is said to be compatible:
http://www.cnetfrance.fr/produits/4...ibles-et-la-couverture-en-france-39808303.htm
I don't think there might be differences between AL10 and L29.

Yes I also found this source.
So that's why we (my friend and I) are thinking about the fact that this issue may come from the AL10 version.
In fact if someone could have a AL10 version with the 4G+ symbol.
It will be a great news.

Hi pk.waw,
I saw your message, but may be his phone might display 4g+ in Poland. The fact that 4g+ in france is the fusion of 2600mhz and 800mhz make a differemce with poland.
I told him to check that if he goes in poland.
nxt-al10, [email protected] version at China Unicom operator is working greatly, So i have the 4G symbol.
Maybe it´s can be related with kind of LTE. China Unicom use FDD-LTE.
Hi pk.waw,
Might you provide me a screenshort please ?

Makes no difference. There is no 4G+ icon in the framework (up to firmware 172 at least), already looked for it.

Hi Fabriziio,
Don't waste your time, it seems that only NXT-L09 can aggregate those 2 frequencies.
It's very odd cause the official version in France is the NXT-L29.
Could a software solution be found for this issue...

Very interesting many thanks.
On the mate 7 this kind of configuration was possible with the file "update_cust.app"
But I don't know how to do the same thing on the Mate 8.
I contacted the VMALL support to ask them which version of the Mate 8 is sold (NXT-L09 or NXT-L29).
They told me that is the L29. So I will not buy the Mate 8 because thanks to "grofock" I know that the NXT-l29 does not support 4G+ in France and doesn't support the band B28 700Mhz and is only available in 32Go.
If it was the L09 may be I should have taken it.
So do you think that the NXT-L09 will works in France with 4G+ :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Huawei-...tory-Unlocked-Space-Gray-Silver-/361498340300
All features should be ok and available.
Fabriziio said:

However the L09 is the single SIM model, so this might be the reason of the available LTE band aggregation.
The new Huawei P9 Plus will be single SIM in Europe.
Ok but I don't understand why a mobile which is single or dual sim change anything about its band aggregation.
We know for sure that there is two different version of the Axon 7, the one sold in North America and the one sold in Europe (and china ?), respectively named A2017U & A2017G.
It would be great to compare the hardware of both these version to see if there is any differences (besides network bands and software) or if they are the same except in name.
Can two persons with the two variants be kind enough to provide AIDA64 screenshots of the importants category listed in AIDA64 ?
Thanks !

Depending on how they did the antenna and power amplifier design, they could still be the same exact HW. The 820 SoC supports all those bands, so at some level, it's just programming the chipset and ROM on which to allow.

This was talked about a little in the webinar. They had been marketing 3140, but when they talked to the battery manufacturer, they had actually done 3250 mAh so they changed the marketing material to match. Since the Chinese phones were already released at that point, I'd be willing to bet there is some piece of code somewhere in there reporting the old values rather than the new values. Or ZTE or the battery manufacturer got something wrong.

I have the 4gb RAM, 128gb ROM version. It is Chinese but seems to work fine here in Australia...
Funnily enough, some of the problems complained about by the US owners aren't present on the Chinese version with no problems on English translations ( I have language set to English).
Camera has NEVER had a problem and build quality is fantastic with no problems.
It has slight differences in appearance, the major being the gold US version I've seen seems to have white antenna bars on back and headphone jack has a white collar, mine has slightly lighter gold bars for the antenna and goes gold to black interior for the headphone jack.
Other than a few apps that I can't seem to get from the playstore (starts to download and the playstore up and closes) there doesn't seem to be much other difference...
Firmware version is B07 and model is A2017...
Oh, and on Antutu Benchmark I get around 142000 just edging out One Plus 3 for top position, if benchmarks mean anything to you...

It doesn't say "Designed in the USA" does it?
I'm looking to buy this phone, but i am wondering which version should i get. I am going to use the phone in the philippines and i would need bands 3,7, and/or 41. Upon checking, the US version has bands 3 and 7. I dont really need the dual sim capability . Should i get the chinese/indian/eu variant instead? Also, where can i get this phone on the chinese market? because some articles say the 6/64gb variant is available for $299.
299$ is the price fixed by LEECO for the USA version (USA base band 4/64 mono sim) sold only at 2th November in USA in a short number of pieces, in bundle with three months free Leeco broadcasting service...(films and series in English?) You can get a better dual sim 6/64 worldwide baseband for less than 350$ everywhere...I should get for this version if I didn't live in Us

Thanks but $299 is already a stretch for me.If i could find the 6/64 or even the 4/64 international version for the same price, I would definitely get that.
Still kinda worried the US version doesnt have band 41, though my carrier uses 3,7, and 41.
I am thinking the dual sim 4/64 version for use in Europe.
I want to ask if the original Rom of this phone have Google play and if is safe?
When I say safe I mean without "backdoors" like other phones I had, oukitel k6000 pro, some Coolpads ets.
I asking just for original rom
The original Rom don't have the gplay store installed, and the software looks and feels safe, if u disable the Chinese bloat on it.
It's however very simple to install Google apps
Sent from my LEX720 using Tapatalk
the international band is either 4/32G or 6/64 G dual band ( same hardware as the Chinese domestic version). the band support: - see the attached
it comes with English Rom ( not Chinese apps at all) and google play store installed.
There is no international version at all. Only Chinese with worldwide band coverage, but Chinese apps. They don't bother at all and Google not installed. All the Google apps are already on the phone ready to be installed. US version is the only one which will have US bands and English software without Chinese apps. But it will be mono sim therefore the firmware of this version will not be compatible with the Chinese one. All other phones are equipped with no official firmware cooked by the shop that sells them. Some phone has 5.8.18s or 5.8.19s both are probably porting created by sellers from other Leeco firmwares not minded from leeco for the le pro 3...both have some bugs. The only official ROM, waiting the US version, is the Chinese 5.8.17s. Minded for the dual sim phone.

Hello everyone, I wonna buy S8 plus G955U USA Version and use in Europe., and i have question.
1. I can use Andorid Pay in europe have Poland credit card ?
2.Will the system have a Polish language ?
I wonna buy USA version because probably USA Version have better Audio quality because have other dac this is true ?
Thanks and Regards
Android Pay starts but i don't have supported cc to check it, it works with custom bank tap to pay services so with android pay should as well.
No full translation to polish. You can add language in settings, but it's mixed and sucks tbh.
About dac i have no idea because I simply don't care.
Worth to mention that theres no Wi-Fi calling and volte on my carrier (orange) on usa/Canadian firmwares.
No lte advance (lte+) but lte coverage and reception is awesome.
