China version — read this before you buy
This phone runs the manufacturer's China software with Google Play pre-installed and verified by us. Most apps work normally. However, Google Wallet contactless payment and some UK banking apps may not work on China-market software, and a future system update from the manufacturer can change what works. If you rely on tap-to-pay from your phone, choose a Global version instead.
English is fully supported, but a few built-in system apps are Chinese-language and cannot be removed. No eSIM and no Android Auto on the China versions we list.
Supports full UK 4G including Band 20 (800MHz) and 5G on n1, n3 and n78 — the bands EE, O2, Vodafone and Three use. Dual SIM.
Folding phones carry more risk than a bar phone: the hinge and inner screen are the parts most likely to develop a fault. A warranty repair on a fold goes back to the manufacturer and takes longer.
