PLEASE HELP With New Version of the Qin F21, Different Hardware and ROM

Yes it has the bands there for the us

I guess you should reach out to the seller to see if they have a way to make it work as far as I know it will not work

Red port?

Yup

Red port does not necessarily mean the new version

Blue port is for sure old version?

99% I did find one that had a blue port was the new version

I believe the best way to tell is the size of the super if it’s 3.5 GB then it’s the new version if it’s 4 GB then it’s the old version

I think a more reliable way is to check the sim tray whether it has 2 or 6 holes. 6 holes is the new version.

another detail on the sim tray, that the new one is the sim position the other way around on the same side.

i want to order a new qin on AliExpress

how can i make sure that i don’t get the new of the different hardware and software???

I think if you order from AliExpress you will get the new device
If you want the old device ask someone to bring it to you from Israel

Out of curiosity, was the new version made for the makers of f30 so no one can flash the us bands anymore?

Not at all.

It doesn’t have a locked bootloader, Brom, fastboot or need a custom DA.

It’s just different hardware I think

@Mark_ostreicher Do you have an ETA for the new stock ROM?
