ROG Phone 5 Tencent Edition with Global/International ROM

[Justins]

hello, i want to buy ROG phone 5 from my local online marketplace, there's seller who sell at quite attractive price there and he says its tencent edition with international / global ROM. Any thought on this from mods ? @Gustav_ASUS @Anders_ASUS should i take precaution as ROG phone 3/2 or is this safe on ROG Phone 5 ? thanks. (The sellers said FOTA is safe this time with rog phone 5)

That's because whoever sold you the phone unlocked the bootloader and flashed it with the WW firmware.
Therefore, you might find your bootloader is already unlocked.
