Different model numbers

Are A2017(Chinese) , A2017U(US) and A2017G(Global) three different device model numbers (hardware wise)?
OR
Are they three different firmware numbers that can be flashed on same hardware device?

They are different devices for different regions

And with the locked bootloader they aren't able to be flashed to different region.
Each have different bands for phone too...

Thank you for the quick response.
So I presume the A2017G global firmware cannot be flashed on c Hines model A2017.
I am planning to buy the chinese model A2017 for use in Singapore. I Have verified that it does support the LTE network bands used by Singapore telcos. The seller on aliexpress confirmed that it will work in singapore and has English language and all Google apps
Would that be a wise thing to do or should I buy the global device model A2017G?
Would you happen to know out of A2017 and A2017G, which model has better
Dev support on xda? (From the perspective of rooting, unlocking, AOSP Roms etc)

Both.
Hardware-wise, the three models are banded differently, and support different cellular connections. For example, the US and China models have CDMA support, while the Global model is not banded for CDMA. The three models have differing LTE bands as well (US model tailored to LTE bands used in North America, Global model tailored to bands used in Europe/Asia, etc).
Software-wise, they're pretty similar, but there are some differences. For example, the Global model has lowered audio output (compared to US model) potentially due to EU regulations. On the flip-side, the Global model has a special menu option for "Glove Mode", to make the phone easier to use when you're wearing gloves, which is omitted from the US model. The US model has an included theme called "Stock Android", which is missing from the China and Global models. The China model does not come with Google Play services by default, because China.
Support-wise, ZTE USA has a community forum that employees participate in to answer questions and whatnot, as does ZTE China. ZTE Europe, however, does not seem to, and can only be contacted via phone/email.
Someone here on XDA was able to flash the Global model's ROM on a US model, but had to specifically flash the US model's modem in order to get cellular working. However, it might have been because the US model can be bootloader unlocked, so the US model can be flashed with other ROMs. The Global and China models don't have official bootloader unlock yet (I'm not entirely sure if the unofficial method posted here on XDA works on the Global and China models)

Thank you for the detailed response. Much appreciated.

Does anyone has any pictures with that stock Android theme?

Search for Axon 7 reviews on Youtube. Any review that shows a white Android app drawer icon in the middle of the nav bar is a US unit using the Stock Android theme.

Damn I'd love that stock interface. Now I'm running Pixel Launcher.

OnePlus 5 A5000

Hey guys,
I am planning to buy a OnePlus 5 from WondaMobile and they sell the A5000 model. Is that a chinese version ?
They also say in the website that they will install the OxygenOS ROM, will it cause any problems and finally is it compatible with all the customs ROMS and TWRP ?
Thanks in advance
EDIT : Got the answer by searching, sorry for the thread

I've got a OnePlus5 N.America and it's a A5000

Apparently there is only one model.
Bands are determined with software - the region rom you flash on setup (it's automatic) determines what software and bands are active.

A6010 to A6013

Hi. I'm in the UK and considering purchasing this great phone. I note from the forum posts here, the BL unlock is simple as is flashing the variety of great ROMs on offer. But how easy is it to rebrand ? (I think in the States you guys call it "conversion") ?
The model I will get is the A6010 which is the China brand, whereas A6013 is the Global, the only two differences being them being a few radio bands - that are not used in the UK anyway - and the China brand using Hydrogen instead of the Global Oxygen. And this is it .
So if i unlock BL, flash TWRP and then a custom ROM (probably Lineage OS) then I have a Global brand in all but ID (it remains a A6010)? Is this correct? It seems to simple to be true?

I think A6010 is the global version. A6013 I think is the T-Mobile version.

That has been talked do death on the forums. A6010 is China/India and some Asia, A6013 is Global; and that is from OnePlus themselves. It's completely irrelevant to me because the minor differences in the two are not used in the UK anyway, but I'd like to rebrand to get rid of Chinese apps and language features so that when I factory reset I get a clean unbloated Global.

I have an A6010 that came with the global ROM. Here is a link that might help you.

IN2020 with Global ROM vs IN2023

Hi,
If I get the IN2020 with Global ROM, will it support the same network bands as the IN2023?
Are there other differences between IN2020 with Global ROM and IN2023?
TIA

I did search.
I did not see what you linked in the results.
And I don't see an answer to my question in the thread you linked? It talks about IN2020 (China) but not IN2020 with Global ROM?

Looking for 6T Mclaren model number or codename

Hello,
I'm looking at buying a 6T McLaren but am searching all over for a codename and/or model number. Can anyone confirm if the 6T McLaren with 10GB RAM is fajita or not? Or if it's A6010, 6013 or something else?
I'm looking for the information because I want to use LineageOS if the McLaren 6T is supported.
I really appreciate any help confirming. Thank you!

I had a T-Mobile OnePlus 6t and it was an excellent device!! The best I can tell the McLaren OnePlus 6t model is also A6013. That's what they're are selling them as online. I go this information from here: https://swappa.com/listing/view/LRQN25061

Ah I forgot to check Swappa, thanks!!

I have a 6T McLaren.
Build Number is A6013_45_210420
It is 10GB/256GB.
Been thinking about upgrading to the ZenFone 8 myself.
