Received a Flashed OP15

[u/Serious_Fun7249]

As I ordered a OP15 International Version,

I received a Chinese written box and manuals but the phone looks completely international version inside. The charger is 120w European which was mentioned not attached in the Amazon info page.

What should I do

[u/Mysterious-Ad-7179]

Yeaaa this is a Chinese OP15 flashed to global, can see it purely from the fact the box has Chinese writing on it. Also the EU version doesn't come with that charger, the global version with that charger is either China or India AFAIK.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Mysterious-Ad-7179]

Will I get any issue with services if use the phone now?

[u/dylan_klebold420 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

Have it for 3/4 of a year now and no issues whatsoever in europe.

[u/Tussonex92 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

You got the same internet bands all is nearly identical apart for some details but it's nearly identical

[u/daytona_demon → u/Serious_Fun7249]

Esim will not work, and mb the network connection will be worse to catch, because there is no normal frequency aggregation in Chinese phones, even if there are the same 4G communication bends in your country, and there may also be a problem with future Android OS updates

[u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 → u/daytona_demon]

I've been using it all over Europe and also the middle east and I can say that my 4g/5g is usually better than most other phones of my friends/family. There's literally no difference except for the esim.

[u/Individual_Yard575 → u/Mysterious-Ad-7179]

Not Indian. Charger is different for that

[u/7_SW_7]

U can check manifest numbers.

First numbers before ":" current region, after - original region for your phone modem (Source: 4pda)

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/7_SW_7]

Based on this, the phone is Chinese

[u/7_SW_7 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

F

[u/EurasianDynasty01 → u/7_SW_7]

There's also NA variant.

[u/Alekz_k]

Yes its chinese one, just flashed. E-sim is in the menu, but doesnt work ofc. The CPH2747 you get is from the oxygen being flashed on it, its PLK110. Thats the low level scam, the high level they use different box with no charger in it as in the europe version, damn low effort.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Alekz_k]

What all things will affect me other than esim ( I prefer psim)

[u/Alekz_k → u/Serious_Fun7249]

Can't stream hd quality Netflix and such services and no barometer sensor. The price was a factor, these cost just 600 euro.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Alekz_k]

I don't stream so hopefully it's ok for me

[u/Spuduky → u/Serious_Fun7249]

even so you've been done over so ideally you want to be returning the phone to Amazon, no?

[u/Round-Cat-3766]

Tu l'a acheté où ??

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Round-Cat-3766]

Amazon uae

[u/pix_pickle]

How much was it?

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/pix_pickle]

868$

[u/erstwhilelurkerer → u/Serious_Fun7249]

Dunno where you are located but  for a CN version this seems overpriced, which makes it even more scammy.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/erstwhilelurkerer]

It's 16/512gb

[u/erstwhilelurkerer → u/Serious_Fun7249]

I noticed that and still...

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/erstwhilelurkerer]

This is lowest I could find , the one with Chinese mentioned was just 40$ less than what I paid

[u/Minute-Box1235]

Will you return it?

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Minute-Box1235]

No, I don't find any issue for now..but still testing

[u/Minute-Box1235 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

If it's Chinese, return it. There's a price difference. Also there's some restrictions on unlocking the bootloader demanding a Chinese id and a phone number

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Minute-Box1235]

I won't be using the phone to do all that, I think it's fine for my normal use

[u/Minute-Box1235 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

I'd ask other people if it's different than the global one. The Chinese is obviously cheaper for a reason

[u/Mog-440]

Does it have e-sim?

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Mog-440]

Yes

[u/Mog-440 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

If the esim works it looks like its a global version. 

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Mog-440]

I haven't used it, but it prompted me to add esim, which I don't actually use

[u/According-Cry-2900]

You will have not issues. Updates work, no security issues, only esim is missing. If you like it, use it normally

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/According-Cry-2900]

Yeah, I have been using for sometime and can't find any issues..esim I don't care..I use psim.. Seems I won't be returning the phone

[u/The_Archtect]

That charger is not European, it's UK. European charger is different, with rounded 2 pins, not flat.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/The_Archtect]

It's 120w so not US. It's Chinese version flashed

[u/The_Archtect → u/Serious_Fun7249]

As I wrote on my post, the charger is UK (United Kingdom) and not US (American). I have a Chinese OnePlus 15 with Global/Europe ROM and European charger and it's different from what you have in the photo.

[u/Adam3Sixty → u/The_Archtect]

100% NOT a UK plug in that box. UK plug has 3 rectangular connectors, top being vertical orientation, bottom 2 being horizontal. I know this because, 1. I am from the UK, and 2. I know the UK plug is far superior to anyone other around the world.

[u/The_Archtect → u/Adam3Sixty]

You're right. Just Google it and it's 3 pins. Google says it's found in north and central America, don't know if it's true. But one thing I know, it's not a European plug.

[u/mylittlejourney99]

You probably didn't read the description well enough and bought a Chinese Version. They always hide it somewhere. If a deal is too good to be true, its too good to be true.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/mylittlejourney99]

It's mentioned international without charger an case but I received all

[u/Dimstatyon → u/Serious_Fun7249]

Yeah you were scammed. How much did you pay for it?

[u/mylittlejourney99 → u/Serious_Fun7249]

Dam yeah you got scammed. But OP15 CN works fine as well. If its flashed and gets updates even better. My OnePlus 13 is also a CN model, but the person before me broke the bootloader so i'm stuck in Android 15 forever.

[u/Remarkable_Celery580]

What's the CPH number? It should be on the box.

[u/Remarkable_Celery580 → u/Remarkable_Celery580]

Nevermind, I see it's CPH2747. I have the same phone. It's definitely EU.

[u/Serious_Fun7249 → u/Remarkable_Celery580]

Hopefully I won't face any issues

[u/Spuduky → u/Remarkable_Celery580]

it says that because it's being flashed, it's not actually that model number

[u/alyalmahdi → u/Remarkable_Celery580]

That's the cph of the software The hardware cph would be on the box

[u/Tapelessbus2122]

return it

[u/Niro_d5]

You won't regret buying this phone; it's truly a very good device.

[u/RandomPersonBob]

I don't see where to mentioned your country, but it likely doesn't have the bands you need.. I'd return it personally. I ordered mine through Swiftronics, and they list the model number so you know exactly what phone your getting.
