Okay, I have watched many India videos of unboxing the oppo find x and they all show the same model number as pafm00. I don't think there is a "global" variant. I would love to be proven wrong if someone could show me otherwise.

Well. If you want to wait, then it would have to be the European release as Mandarin is the #1 most spoken language in the world because of India alone. So the Chinese variants do not differ from India

I see no mention of Mandarin in these links:

I could be wrong,having never been to either China or India,but,your statement perplexes me...........

Mandarin is the language Chinese and Indians speak (Chinese is not a really a language). Most spoken language in the world(by # of people) is Mandarin then English. English is the most widely spoken language (being the national language of over 100 countries)

Hopefully this clarifies what I meant

Not really, I see no mention of Mandarin being a commonly spoken language in India in either link I posted.

Again, I've never been to either country,so, I admittedly have no 1st hand experience with what languages are commonly spoken in India, just what I've read & researched on the subject.

Regardless, the phone hardware is nice, the software blows major chunkage, making for a rather unsatisfying experience in any language,especially at the current price......

Indian here.... We don't speak Mandarin... Only the Chinese do... We got Hindi and English here... And a plethora of regional languages

Yeah. I know what you are saying. I got the phone and it is great. Almost all Mandarin is gone except voice assistant. But I learned the word to unlock it so I'm happy.
But just a side, here's an article to indicate the push of Mandarin (Chinese) in India as to the reason why, Indians version does not vary from China. And as original stated, just will have to wait on the England launch

Hey. Great to have one. When I traveled over, doing research. I was educated on the fact that Mandarin and english was learned to grow business and other aspects . Along with the other languages and dialects. A few of my colleagues in India also speaks Mandarin. So could it be by areas? I know statistically, Hindi is supposed to be the main.

Hopefully.
Based on the link from this thread. The possibility may be there if we can understand the language and hey someone inside to help release the info or give us ever we need.

I wouldn't be first to try flashing the Euro software onto the Chinese device, I've read a number of carnage reports on these forums doing that. Even when possible a mistake can lead to brickage with some devices; a notable example would be the Find 7. Do it right you were ok, make a mistake and you were dead. A very different thing from a vanilla android device which is very hard to truly brick.

Smart money is to wait for the actual Euro version which is not what is being seen in the Indian Tube videos, that is the Chinese variant. The Euro version will not require the seller to install the play store, it will not have a locked launcher as that is against googles terms of service for devices offering the play store. It may or may not have the overly aggressive app shutdown and whether the bootloader will be unlocked is in question. Still, if you're wanting to drop ching that's the device to take a chance on.

 

[Jaybondzewell]

i think that they do not want to make some of those changes which is the reason they aren't planning to launch in the US..
PS- mine came with the playstore preinstalled and it is apart of the system apps.. however google play services was not apart of system apps..

My assumption right now is that indian version will be the global one.. point in case the vivo nex doesn't have any issues with 3rd party launchers or jivo shoved down our throats... The Indian version should be good to go

 

[krabman]

Yes, that's what I'm saying: The version being shown by the Indian Tubers is the Chinese variant. We need to wait for the international. There is no data I can find that confirms the Indian version will be packing the international firmware although like you I presume it. Folks should be aware that India has mandated a spam blocking software on all cell phones sold within the country. It appears it does that but also is a serious piece of spyware which is something to consider when a purchase comes to mind. I suspect this can be easily removed but again no one can prove it until it's done. Meanwhile the Euro version will not have it and is going to be the safest bet when it becomes available.

Some good update from emailing oppo.

 

[hookland1]

After reading the email from the post above I think that now situation is pretty clear.

At the moment ony one hardware model of device is sold (in both india and china). What is different is just the firmware, where for indian market it’s google friendly, with all preinstalled (and i would say european friendly too).

So right now when any online store says that sells global version, it’s just the chinese hardware with indian firmware.

I think that the good news is that hardware is the same! If we found the indian firmware and the flashing tool enabled, we are good!
