Umm, the EU model does have capacitive buttons. Not sure where you've got your info from
I'd recommend the US version of the phone purely because of the support from ZTE to that market. The additional features on the 6GB china version like force touch doesn't justify the trouble you may face from a software perspective. Go with the US version if you can.

My bad
checked amazon germany it has Capacitive button
Thanks for your suggestion
but us model doesnt support b40 lte band
this is the only thing backing be from buying this model
else this thread wouldnt have appeared
in 2017G ,stock rom of 2017u can be flashed?

I suppose you can flash the ROMs interchangeably but I've read that some had some functionalities missing . You can follow @DrakenFX ROM thread which has all the info you need. Considering the EU variant doesn't have an unlocked boot loader yet, flashing ROMs isn't the straightforward solution, let alone flashing a ROM not meant for that variant.
On a side note, the EU one albiet costly, has a 3 year warranty. Of course you and me, cant avail that anyway.

The US is suppose to get the 6GB model in the 4th quarter I think.

Ze552Kl Branded change firmware

Hi i've bought Zenfone 3 Ze552KL thinking it was dual sim but today a bad surprise, there are two Ze552kl models, Z012D dual sim and Z012S branded single sim. Those specs are not mentioned from online seller. this is my question, i don't think that Asus produces 2 different models, with 2 different motherboards. somebody knows if with changing firmware is possible to use double sim card? thanks

Nobody an idea about that?
cubamellama, were you able to find that out?

I recently bought a used lg v10 and yes there is only a single SIM slot inside. Oddly enough, it came with T-mobile firmware on top of Korean board, supposedly suitable for Korean carrier (SKT to be specific). It's suggested to flash a firmware according to board version otherwise it will brick the device or null IMEI might occur due to different radio freq/band etc.. I managed to flash SKT firmware version successfully. Keep in mind it'll be extra miles to fix soft / hardbrick, assuming there is any method, so please proceed with caution.

There's no other way to use Dual SIM since it's a single SIM model . The only way to solve this is to return to seller.
Can you show me the seller's website?

Does dual stanby of x720/x722 differ from x820?

Hello, guys.
I have two leeco phones, x722 and x820.
My x820 perfectly support the dual standby (4G + 3G) with EUI indian version. (but not with EUI chinese version).
But my x722 incompletely support like as x820 with EUI chinese version.
In my country (South Korea), there is 3 network vendors (SKT / KT / LGU).
SKT and KT provide 4G and 3G services, and LGU provide only 4G service.
When I use SKT/KT, dual standby of x820 and x722 work perfectly.
But, when I use LGU with SKT or KT, only dual standby of x820 with EUI indian version work.
The cases of x722 with any ROM and x820 with EUI chinese version, the USIMs are activated only one by one. not standby simutaneously. (x720 is too)
What are the differences of network firmware between EUI chinese and indian version for x820?
I think if the differeces be applied to ROM for x720/x722, then x720/x722 can support dual standby perfectly in South Korea.
As I know, there is no EUI indian version for x720/x722.
How to port EUI indian version of x820 to x720/x722?

Have you checked the frequencies for your carrier? Check the product's listing and your carrier's supported frequencies. EDIT: looks like the x722 has all the frequencies required to work with your carriers on HSDPA and LTE. So the issue could be the ROM, or... it could be a hardware issue, OR you have to enter the APN settings for your carrier on one or both SIMs on the x722.
The x722 was only released in China, but was released internationally from Chinese sellers like Gearbest and Geekbuying, with unofficial, modified ROMs containing multiple languages. You should try flashing a custom ROM on the x722 to see if the issue gets solved. Like LineageOS or AICP. Or you can even try a modified version of 26s (AKA custom ROMs by users here). Be sure to go through the thread stickied here before attempting anything though (whatever you do, don't update to stock 26s, only modded 26s found here in the forums).

In that case, it could be a hardware limitation. I don't think the issue would be APN settings at that point. Again, you can try a custom ROM but I don't know if it would help with modem issues like yours. This phone has no official English ROM like other Le phones, which have either official Indian or U.S. ROMs, and no kernel sources have been released for this device, so developing for this phone is already annoying as is.

Phone versions

Hello I am looking to buy this phone for my mom. I will flash a custom ROM on the phone but I can see there are few models of the phone so my question is which one supports the custom roms and which one to buy. Thank's.

im actually selling mine if u interested. i have the version that has all/the most custom rom support. the LEX727 is the one i have and the one you need for the custom roms.

You're looking for le pro3 x720/x727. It has snapdragon 821, nfc and most of custom firmwares. X720 is for chinese market and it has 2 sim card slots, and x727 is only sold in usa and it has only 1 sim. There're lots of sellers on aliexpress who sell x720 just for 200-250 bucks, so i'd recommend that.
There's also x722, it has snapdragon 820 and no nfc, but its also cheaper, you can get one for like 150-170$. Some of custom roms for x720 also work on x722, so there's that.

x720 had 4/32, 6/64 (s821, nfc, dual sim, inc. eu and cn bands), x727 had 4/64 (s821, nfc, single sim, inc. usa bands) x722 had 4/32, 6/64 (Elite, s820, NO nfc, dual sim, inc. eu and cn bands), x650 (AI version, mediatek)...

Thank's guys.

Oneplus 8 Pro Dual SIM

Since the EU version of the OnePlus seems to work with Dual SIM.
Can we flash the US version with the EU OxygenOS and be able to get Dual SIM working in the US?

Actually, this is what I did. Using US Version (Model: IN2025) and then was flashing with the EU Oxygen OS Version 10.5.4. After the flash, the update to Oxygen OS 10.5.6.IN11BA automatically was retrieved and installed.
Two things are surprising to me:
- I was expecting that after 10.5.6 upgrade, dual SIM should work, when limiting the network to 2G/3G/4G. However it still shows that the dual-sim function is not working.
- I thought that flashing the US device with EU, would also change the model from IN2025.
What am I missing here?
Thanks & Best.

dont think it works like that
you risk bricking it by cross flashing firmware

I was using this post -- and no issues. :angel:
OnePlus chat support told me that only configuration and software is different between the regional devices, hardware is all the same.
However it also didn't solve what I wanted to achieve - dual-SIM and (at best) also European bands - like n78 ... :crying:
