Dear Nexus 6P user,
I bought a Nexus 6P without original box from ebay, how could I know/check which version is my Nexus 6P? In Bootloader mode I saw "Product/Variant: ANGLER-ROW-VN1", would it be the version for Rest of world? Or, there are some methods to check it correctly? Thank you very much for any help.

OR
Download the DevCheck Info app and see what it says under 'SKU'.
H1511 means it's the North American variant.
H1512 is the Worldwide international variant.

Hi guys.
Long time lurker. First time poster.
How can I see what region my phone is from. I bought my phone through Orange. I'm in South Africa.
If I go to Settings>About Phone>Regulatory Information. I see the words Europe, Australia and India displayed. So I'm quite confused as to which one it actually is.
I'm not allowed to post a screenshot as I'm a new user on the forums.
Thanks.

Where did you buy your phone from?
If you got in from India its the indian version and if you bought it from Europe its the European.
Check your model number if its the XT1562 its likely to be the indian version.

I bought it through the South African Orange store. The model is XT1562. The reason why I'm asking is because India and Canada has received the Marshmallow update. But I have yet to receive it. Making me believe that my phone is a European version.

When you are in "about phone" just scroll down to see "baseband version" and "system version" those two items will tell you exactly where phone came from as long as it's still stock and hasn't been modified. System version should have abbreviation of country in it like LA for Latin America, CA for Canada, EU for Europe etc. Baseband relates to wireless operator who sold it originally, mine came from Canadian operator Telus so it has "Telus" in the baseband name. Hope this helps you out.

Thanks you for the post.
I can't post screenshots yet, so I'll type it out.

Baseband Version: M8936_2020613.22.03.21.33R

My phone (UK set) has "reteu.EU" on System version while Baseband version is almost similar as yours. EMEA means Europe, Middle East & Africa. So I'm guessing your phone belongs to EMEA region as mine which currently undergoing soak test for MM. It won't be long I think, maybe as a new year present.

I'm thinking the Motorola staff is all currently on holiday. So you're probably correct in saying it'g going to be a new years present.

I went ahead last night and downloaded the Indian 6.0 version from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/moto-x-play-marshmallow-6-0-ota-t3267061
Every digit from the file matches my system version. So I was very confident that it was going to work. I put the file in the root of my sd card. Restarted my phone. After putting in my pin I was immediately prompted with system update available. It took about 10min to complete. Everything working perfectly so far.

Yes
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.

From Zte.
Hello friends, I tell you that I just bought two weeks ago this beautiful ZTE AXON 7 and they sent me the A2017 version that is not compatible with the 4G LTE networks of my country (Peru) ... I have seen that the A2017G version if it is And why I wanted to know if I installed the A2017G firmware then my phone could already work with the 4G LTE networks of my country ??? Or am I totally wrong? I look forward to your help, thank you!
You are totally wrong. Your modem doesn't pick up the bands. You can change the firmware but not the bands you pick up. That is hardware not software
Download Terminal Emulator from Google Play Store and enter command below:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Google the part number and find out whether ZTE is delivering 64GB UFS2.0 for our Axon 7.
Edit: Mine is Malaysia A2017G

Mind to post your Axon 7 variant? Not sure whether ZTE is using the same part for all A2017, A2017U & A2017G.

I have galaxy Edge S7 purchased from ebay. It shows Model no. as SM-G935F in Settings>About Phone.
But in Download Mode it shows sm-g935v . When i connect usb it shows verzion softwares.
But when i check IMEI no. on internet it corresponds to SM-G935A model .
Please tell me what is the actual model no of my phone.?? and what is right firmware to update it to android 7??
All of those are US variants (Snapdragon based), so you may never know the real answer (though I imagine the IMEI probably points to the original model number). The good news is, you don't really care unless the device is SIM locked and you need to unlock it, since all of the US versions physically identical.
