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)

How do i check if it is already unlocked?

I did forget to mention that whoever unlocked it first, can re-lock again. There is a command in adb which allows you to unlock it. I would go to XDA forums to find out more information about this.
But to answer your question, here is soemthing you can read on:

Sorry, I realised the OP question havent been answered.
I would genuinely recommending take your device baack to the selller and ensure you dont have the Tencent device with WW/Global firmware.

I don't think the sellers who reflash tencent models offer any honourable warranty though
