We have been on road for the past week and there are many questions/confusions about the AM7 models.
Here it is a stigmatization. Hope this helps.

So the European MT7-TL10 and MT7-L09 would work here in the states with t-mobile on band 4? How would I go about ordering the European market versions.

Reading from the specs, It should work in NA, with B4 aka AWS. It costs if you order from Europe though.
The problem with the USA market is that, HUAWEI may have to use a different CPU inside, happened on Mate 2. That's due to the USA's federal regulation. It may explain why there is no release date for the USA market.
We will experiment if the current Chinese MT7-TL10 can flash the international ROM. Once again, we have no clue even about the release date of the international MT7-TL10.
By the way, we sold an unit to a HUAWEI employee from an European country. According to our customer and also a HUAWEI employee there, there will be no release of the MT7-TL10 in that specific country, at least. For confidentiality, we cannot tell you which country it is.
So as @nvygw171 said, the European L09 and TL10 would be useful for USA T-Mobile LTE. That's what I'm gathering from those specs.

Yes. It offers B4 aka AWS specifically for NA. So you can purchase an European version and use it in USA.
This week, we will check with HUAWEI to see if we can exclusively get L09 version and bring it to the xda community. No guaranty though.

Here is the latest news from HUAWEI:
HUAWEI makes more profits in the Europe market and in this week they will not fulfill any order in China (good for HUAWEI as the heat is continuously stored: demand in the Chinese market is even higher). Initial production is in process for the Europe market. The quantity is limited as well (the production of finger print scanner is very limited). If one places an order for a while now, more than likely in the next 2-3 weeks you will get a shipment of the L09 version.
We will hear soon if our store can get any Europe version.. We hope to get some. Will report back once HUAWEI girl gives us a call.

So, the entire point of your "testing" was that you are completely clueless as to what works in the US.
Excellent. Thanks for the non-information.
Getmobilephoe,
I understand that you suspect that hardware of the Chinese and the European TL-10 is identical.
Can you confirm that now?

Even HUAWEI USA cannot give a clear answer. Though trusted reviewers from tech blog/community reported the phone can receive LTE in USA, we believe we are the first one notifying that there are compatibility issues. Meanwhile, we are doing our best to provide the community useful and accurate information.
And thanks your criticism and we will continuously improve, providing only reliable information.

We cannot confirm that now, as we have mentioned in many other posts, our speculation only. We have already inquired local HUAWEI factory about the availability of EU version and we shall receive an answer soon in the next 2-3 days. Meanwhile, one HUAWEI employee from an EU country told us that there will be no release of TL10 in that specific country. HUAWEI better to label it as limited edition. We really do not like their business practice this time but that's a good start for their company's long term development.
We will keep the community updated about the latest development.

Just get the response from our HUAWEI connection. First and not surprisingly though, HUAWEI cannot provide us the EU version. Of course, their supply of China version irritates us these days, though we sill get better supply than most of the vendors in the country. Second, which is interesting to the community, the first dispatch of shipment to EU is this week. We have no words about how many units they are initially offering to EU market. If you are living in the western part of Europe (the priority of HUAWEI), and an order has been pre-paid, you shall get your unit soon, depending on the queue though.
The EU version is made in HUAWEI Guangdong factory and the daily production is about 30k units per day, according to our source. Yep, a limited edition.
The only issue is that i wrote to Huawei Belgiulm abou the availability of the 32gb version and their answer was the following :
Sorry sir, Huawei WILL NOT release the 32 gb version in Europe I am actually using the 32gb version from China but slight problem, it works on 4G in Belgium with Proximus BUT NOT IN GERMANY with Vodafone 4G as they are using and LTE band not supported by the chinese version. Although Huawei mate 7 is an amazing mobile, Huawei marketing and strategy was the most stupid one i ve ever seen While Iphone and Samsung released their device, Huawei, who should have released their Mate 7 before, not only was late releasing it and awful about transparency regarding the versions and the bands these onese are supporting. I really don't understand this strategy from Chinese brands, Lenovo K920 is exactly the same. No stock ! Really strange from companies who want to get market share from Apple and Samsung This is really a shame ...
HEre is the exchange between me and them
Dear Sir,
Could you tell me when will the Huawei mate 7 32GB be available in Europe ?
We already find them in chinese websites, can we also order them from there, devices are exactly the same ?

Hi
This was an awful idea : to compete in the high end devices, Huawei should have released this 32Gb, 3gb ram version in EU and for your information, huawei online mobile shop sell and ship these devices to Europe. From a strategic marketing point of view, it was a mistake no to be consistent to such an extent. European market is dominated by Apple and Samsung as you know, how Huawei wants to penetrate it without releasing their most powerfull device in these markets were the actually need to penetrate ?
This was just my opinion ... Thanks.
ROTFLAMO, this was my exact reaction to their absolutely pisspoor performance in any market. I read an article yesterday touting that they had sold 1million phones in the first month. They have ZERO deals with any carriers, they ZERO presence in any country, and they're proud they sold 1 million phones? I mean seriously, what a joke. They're just simply pathetic in terms of being a manufacturer. They don't seem at all bothered that they answer questions asked in contradictory ways. I asked if the device was coming to the US Ina T-Mobile-compatible version. First answer, it will be released in the US. Second time the same question was asked by someone else, the device will not be released in US.
The press need to take a LOT of responsibility in this as well. I was the first one to ask Huawei if the phone was compatible with T-Mobile in the US. Not a single American reviewer asked that question. They all walked away with free devices in Germany, but no one quoted more than the press briefing. The press, seriously, were a joke in this.
Huawei may well be #3 in the world. But, after this "release", I don't see them rising beyond that.
Huawei, at least hire someone who can answer questions of those who ask them in better than broken Engrish. It's embarrassing for a multinational company to have no one who can answer a question in proper sentences.
They're not ready to compete because they're playing in the backwater.
I am in the philippines, and i was initially eyeing this phone. I wrote huawei phils. and i was told that the device will be release last wk of oct to 1st wk of nov. Naturally, as the date neared, i followed it up with them. Alas, they said they could no longer give a time frame.
I love how this device looks, but how can i buy it when its not available in my country? The online stores priced this ridiculously, and i am not even sure about lte compatibility.
I ended up getting the vibe z2 pro! Amazing device!
1. The phone is out of stock in Shanghai, Beijing. Think about it. Many stores are selling at over $700 USD and it is still OOS.
2. HUAWEI is shipping x units to Europe in the past week, sacrificing the Chinese market at the moment.
3. HUAWEI is a giant Chinese company therefore a political issue. Period.
We cannot help NA consumers for AWS reason but our customers from Asia and Europe say NO compatibility issue and love it. If you are an EU based consumer who has placed an order with HUAWEI already, please be patient and you will get the phone no later than Mid November, or, come to our store who can fulfill your needs immediately.
I ask as I am considering importing one.
I am now using ZE520KL (Taiwan model) of Zenfone 3, it has 1.6MP back camera, fingerprint module, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM, 5.2" screen, 1080p, dual SIM slots and micro-SD slot (you can only choose between SIM2 and micro-SD card).
You may use the information I provided above to compare with the information on ASUS UK website. I hope this helps you.
do zenfone 3 really not sopport quick charging?
Yes, it does not support quick charge.
Since you're from taiwan, you may differentiate one thing for us. Does ZE552KL has two variant 32GB/3GB and 64GB/4GB.
After checking Asus Taiwan Store, there is NO 3GB variant for ZE552KL but I am not sure if there is one in other countries.
Usually, the difference, if any, is in supported 2G/3G/4G network bands only. I think the Taiwan version should support all popular Asian/European bands.
The countries differ from the rest of the world in term of network bands are US, Korea and Japan. But nowadays, even smartphones for those markets do support "international" bands for Asia/Europe
Hey guys
So, as I live in switzerland and we most probably aren't getting the LGv20 officially I am starting to look around for alternatives. I've gone to frequencycheck.com and checked every modell of the phone on there, added them all to a spreadsheet and now have a list of possible models that would work in my country (assuming frequencycheck is accurate). The versions that would work 100% on my country and carrier are (with corresponding Country-of-release) next to them:
LG F800L V20 LTE-A | South Korea
LG US996 V20 LTE-A | USA
LG VS995 V20 XLTE | USA
LG H990 V20 TD-LTE / H990TR | International? (Didn't find out which country)
LG H990ds V20 Dual SIM TD-LTE | Taiwan
I now have 2 questions:1) Are there more models I should be aware of and check and 2) Which model would be the best one for me to get? I would like an unlocked bootloader and the possibility to root my phone. I don't have a country preference - Importing a phone will be a PITA anyway.
Thanks for your recomendations!
Hallo!
I am from Germany. I am thinkting about the different versions too. Here is the H990N Dual Hong Kong version specified with Cat6 only (max Download Speed 300 Mbps, max Upload Speed 50 Mbps):
https://www.techwalls.com/lg-v20-model-numbers-differences/
Snapdragon 800 should have always Cat12 (max Download Speed 600 Mbps, max Upload Speed: 150 Mbps). Not be sure why there seems to be differences with LTE speed.
The H990DS Dual Taiwan version is specified with Cat12.
But I am unsure if those versions are Bootloader unlockable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/lg-v20-h990ds-dual-sim-taiwan-version-t3490585
Anyone imported the V20? I'm from Germany and do not know which model works without limitations, too.
Snapdragon 800 should have always Cat12

Do you think the H990N has an older/slower CPU?!
I'm from Greece and I own H990DS TAIWAN version...this is for sure international version with all languages and 4g bands....it working perfect...but we didn't know if it going to be bootloader unlocked ever....
Be careful because there is another H990DS version from Korea that isn't international....
US996 has all the bands switzerland uses:
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/lzJdhQw/lg-us996-v20-lte-a/switzerland
And it can be bootloader unlocked.
@mgutt
I know you from German forums.
Sorry for this late answer but I have read your comment not until now incidentally. Of course every V20 device has the Snapdragon 820 inside. I mistyped 820 and 800 because of my old Note 3 with Snapdragon 800. But now I have my new V20 with Snapdragon 820 and I habe to unthink.
Hi Man, I'm from Switzerland too and I just bought one from Digitec.ch they have it in stock ready to ship and it's the international version H990DS Taiwan, actually i got mine it was in chinese it took me 5 mins to figure out how to change language lol...

My wife is using the Chinese variant of the OnePlus 6 in Utah, with absolutely zero issues. But she also bought it as she is from China and wants to use it when we visit family there. I'm not sure off hand about the other countries listed. Bit u know hers will work in mainland China and Hong Kong and Taiwan. You can Google the model number of the phone and then include will it work in Indonesia. It should bring s link to check that countries mobile carrier bands.
Edit-. It's this site. Select the country you want to see their bands
