Oh well, looks like no US release in the "first wave". Kind of disappointed. Maybe different processor to be used? Maybe waiting to fix camera? lol Interesting to see how plays out but March will be here in no time to see what Sammy offers...
The pricing is a bit more than was initially thought it would be. The model with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage costs €599, while the model with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage is priced at €699.
Which would be about $644 and $751 in U.S. dollars.
i actually expected a little higher price tag in euros, so thats totally fine by me
btw, isnt the GX8 the revamped mate 8 version for the US?
edit: oh nvm, its actually a revamped G8 midrange phone [emoji14]
in any case, happy to hear that germany is in the first wave, yehaw!

Too expensive for my usage in the USA.
I'm still running my Mate2, and it is flawless. I don't do games, so that's not an issue.
It runs everything else, is solid as a rock, long battery life, smooth, no lag.
Best 300 dollar investment.
Was hoping Huawei would release an update to the Mate2 at the same price point,
but I think they want to go "all hollywood" (apple/samsung) with their pricing.
Faster & faster processors with more dense screens aren't the answer. I'd rather
have a big screen, mid spec processor that is solid.
Guess I'll keep the Mate2 for another year.
Mate 8 only 500ish on aliexpress.
in asia including china, consumers do pay above $1k cash for phone
i understand that in US, you need a low hp pricing with heavy subsidy from network operator
in that case, it will be more profitable for a company to focus on area like china, india and other parts of asia where consumers are willing to fork up cash and pay list price for their phones

What's the tax rate? Or the price b4 tax?
you can check for yourself: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...-950-Octa-Core-Android-6-0-6/32557813072.html
3/32 gb = 486€
4/64 gb = 636 / 664€ (gold / mocha)
4/128 gb = 729 / 748 € (gold / mocha)
1 yr replacement warranty = 35 - 53€ depending on model
shipping to Germany via EU Express = 30€
so in my case it was 664€ phone / 30€ shipping / 46€ warranty
in that price they include a case (in my case a transparent TPU soft case), a screen protector, a power adapter for your respective country and they also preflash google play store and a rom with international language packages
hy,
try this site http://www.vopmart.com/huawei/filter/cat/huawei-ascend-mate-8.html
if you are from EU choose Netherlands Post Registered Air Mail and don't pay import taxes or VAT, but time to delevery is almost 30days
wish the 4gb was in space gray would have bought already. Hate the color options for the 4gb versions.

Given the slow down in China, it doesn't surprise me that Huawei hasn't set up a production line for the Mate NXT L09, the single SIM US/North American version, as quickly as the internatioinal dual SIM versions. However, the Wall Street Journal spoke to Huawei officials for the article they did in December and company officials acknowledged that the Chinese slow down means they need to develop a real market presence in North America. I expect the NXT L09 will launch in the US in Q2--it cleared the FCC in December. One thing Huawei needs to do if they want to develop a North American market to help provide additional revenue streams to offset their losses from the Chinese market slow down is to hire a few staff in North America and not rely solely on staff in China to interact with North American customers via their webpage. There are some language barriers in interacting with the company on their website. I'm looking forward to the NXT L09 lanch since it will have 4G FUD LTE band 17, which I need as an AT&T customer.

I dont know but I am getting mine in the states just before I head to China, because it looks to me like its mostly North America and Europe that our getting it.
Depending on how many units google manages to ship in the first few weeks and when they start shipping. If the supply keeps up, you can expect to see Nexus 7 in every electronics bazar. The Chinese are just as excited about it as we are. Ask your local guy to bring you there. If the supply is tight for any reason, you'll still be able to get it from Taobao, their version of Ebay.
You should bump this thread before you leave for China, the situation would be a little more clearer by then.
It took the New Ipad about 2 months to flood the Mainland market. But they sell it officially in Hong Kong so that's an important factor.
Sounds like you have been there some, do you know if you can still access cloud servers in mainland, possible vpns?
Questions go in the Q&A section
Happy to tell you
I am living in Shanghai, I will be happy to tell you when it will be in the electronic markets. I asked my guy yesterday, told me he hopes it will be here end of July, mid August but he was not sure.

I don't know. I have never had an android device. But this tablet is also big in China and there will be more information on everything once people get their hands on them. My ipad and iphone can surf the net no problem with a VPN that costs 3 dollar a month when I'm in China. I don't forsee any problem in that department.

The words on Chinese android forums are, Jelly Bean already supports Chinese, simplified and traditional, natively. Obviously the bundled apps et cetera would be US centric, instead of localised with QQ, Taobao and what have you, but the system can be set to Chinese without problem.

Who cares about the Chicoms, what about Taiwan?
Not much to "up" about, I'm afraid. No official news yet. As for imported models, as someone already pointed out, you can stay sure you'll find plenty 2-3 weeks after US release in the various electronic bazaars.

Bumping only makes sense once the shipping starts. China is not going to get it before the listed countries do.

I am pretty sure you can get one from a C2C website "taobao". But you need to pay extra money since it is just released.
Anyone that understands the Hong Kong/China market/culture will tell you to never buy the early "water" (HK slang term for imports) batches that arrives, because the almost certainty that they will jack up the price to at least double the asking price compared to buying it elsewhere (such as the US). The Chinese people are notorious for cashing in on early adopters.
The price will also stay high until it is released officially in Hong Kong and/or China, when from that point all "water" (import) versions will see a price crash, dropping to cost cheaper than the Hong Kong/China official price. When it reaches this stage, the main argument is that imports don't have a warranty, whereas home released versions do.
TL;DR version, if you can get from the US or other google listed country via friends or whatever, do it and avoid being ripped off for being an early adopter. Unless you want to pay about $4000 HKD ($200 USD) for it when it's only worth about $2000 HKD ($200 USD).
there's a white Nexus 7 IO version on sale now.. for $5000 HK
which is probably smth like $500 lol
Thank god I live in the UK. Don't pay through the nose buying an overpriced N7, which kind of defeats the purpose of its cheap pricing in the first place.

This is what Alex Dobie wrote on androidcentral.com:
"Motorola says the device will go on sale from February 1, and will cost £380 outright. We won't be getting any Moto Maker facilities right now, so we're limited to the black and white versions. 16GB will be the standard model available, but a 32GB Moto X can be yours from the Motorola website when it goes on sale. In addition, Motorola confirmed to us that the 32GB version will not in fact be available in the UK at this time."

I'm also looking for 32gb version for the same reason. I have a 32gb sdcard actually with ~20gb of music that's why 16gb is not enough for me.

For people living in europe, it doesn't only come down to price and looks.
Buying a US version will make it impossible to use 4G/LTE in EU, so in order to succesfully connect to 4G networks in EU, one must buy a EU Moto X. Unfortunatly Motomaker and 32gb versions are not available in EU, so it really comes down to looks and space vs. 4G speed.
Btw. Importing a US version to EU, will cost the same or more, than buying an EU version, due to import taxes, unless you travel to USA and bring one home in your bag.

If you buy a XT1058 from the states you get LTE band 7 which many carriers use in Europe.
I got the t-mobile with all the cozy stuff and sent it with a friend that was flying home.
Originally the plan was to sent it with mail (this was before motorola announced that the x was coming to Europe) but I got lucky.
Sometimes you might get lucky with the taxes (in Sweden there are no tolls on cell phones, "just" 25% VAT). They don't control all packages. It also depends from which county it was sent from.
Booo for import taxes, I hate them.
"Hey, we can't compete with the price because of our superduper high taxes and average salaries, nor can we compete with the availability of products so let's punish everyone who isn't buying stuff from within the ****ty EU".
Belgians interested in this phone will have to stick to the European model if they want 4G, unfortunately none of the USA models supports LTE 1800.
Anyboy knows weather the bootloader is unlocked or unlock-able on the european model?

The first thing that shocked me was that its price exceeds that of the OnePlus 3 (£329) even though the OP3 boasts a better chipset, better UI and considerably more RAM, secondly Honor seems to fancy ripping us Brits off while in the US both devices are on sale for $399.

Vmall EU's customer service is almost as shocking as the price for the UK. I get that Honor is a rising brand but the justification to put up the price by £120 from the Honor 7 doesn't make sense.
I got fed up being messed around by VMall and cancelled my order and bought an OP3 just like the original poster.
I'm just wondering is there a way to get the phone from the likes of Oppomart and then flash a EU ROM? As the phone can be had for way less.

Hi has anyone got any news on when the Axon 7 will be available in the UK? I've got money burning a hole in my pocket and I've wanted this phone since it was announced back in May...
I've seen on Twitter that it could be a Q4 release in the UK but what does that mean? Sept, Oct, Nov??? I've also seen on Amazon.es (Spanish Amazon) that it is currently available for 449 euros. How come its not available in the UK if it is available to order from the Spanish Amazon site and possibly other EU sites?
Its been available in the USA since June hasn't it?
Also is there any confirmation on pricing because again amazon uk are selling it for £458!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ZTE-Axon-7...TF8&qid=1473928341&sr=1-1&keywords=zte+axon+7
An astonishing mark up on the US price which is $399 if I'm not mistaken? Going on current exchange rates the Axon 7 should be about £300 but I've read it will be £359 but would love to know for sure...
I think only 60 were originally available in the UK, apparently it wasn't so much a sales drive as a pilot to be followed by a proper push - eventually...
The price difference is largely down to VAT, if you were to try to import one from the USA yourself (which isn't allowed, I've tried), it would be no cheaper.

Great, so the One Plus 3 is looking more attractive for UK customers right now because its already available and in stock and its for £329 which is £30 less than the Axon 7 how come both phones are $399 in the US??? - this makes no sense to me even taking VAT into account...
If only the OP3 had a 1440p screen, SD card slot, and front facing speakers...
ZTE are really messing up here IMO its almost like they don't want to sell the phone in the UK...

Also if only ZTE had half of OnePlus's distribution channels in the UK...
I was hoping to see the stock availability in the UK too, the 4GB+128GB version in particular, but it's very unlikely.
At least I can buy one during my China trip soon, the 4GB+128GB version only costs about 300 quid. I'd say that's a fair price to pay.

Despite being a 'pilot customer' and experiencing the often poor early software and non-existent support, and despite being a satisfied former OnePlus customer, I've no regrets in not getting the OnePlus 3 as the Axon 7 has such astonishing audio technology, both for recording and playback.
That phone on Amazon looks like a German import. I'd hang on for another week or so.

Due to countrywide lockdown the sale of it will not start atleast till 3rd May.
And even if you purchase after that you will have to pay a lot @ import taxes + courier, handling charges.
Here u need to pay 999€ (1085$).
I will skip OP8 Pro and Mi10 Pro (China 620€ and here also 999€) cuz even a S20+ is under 800€.

What about band 41?
They saved a lot on the 5G certifications that's why it's a lot cheaper here, we are not even close to thinking about 5G right now, so they did a good strategy, include just one band for publicity..
