Guys for the 10.8 inch m5. The difference between m5 and ‘5 Pro is only the included Pen? Specs etc all same?

Finally a landscape tablet I can change from my Samsung Tab S Pro haha. Although the fingerprint is quite weird placement for landscape

the processor is different,

8 inch and 10 inch pro version are using 960, 10 inch non-pro version is using 960s, which seems a slower version than the standard 960, but i guess there won't be much different in normal usage.

the things is, no official sale in Singapore. even in HK, only 8 inch LTE and 10 inch pro WIFI versions are officially available.

huawei vmall has all the different versions and combinations, but China only.

I give up waiting for launch in Singapore. I'm thinking to import.
I want to buy 10.8 inch with LTE. I'm fine with Pro or not Pro model.
Hong Kong or US does not sell 10.8 with LTE. 8 inch is the choice for LTE.
It's sold in China, but China model is not preferred due to lack of Google play. (it's not my option to change firmware.)
I found it sold in EU, but they didn't look good because it's difficult to ship battery and VAT refund is not provided.
Do anyone know the place to ship 10.8 with LTE to Singapore and provide VAT refund?

Expansys based in HK, Amazon USA and Amazon UK don't have 10.8 inch with LTE model.
Amazon Italy has 10.8 with LTE model, but it's reseller not Amazon. It doesn't ship to Singapore. If I use forwarding company, I cannot get VAT refund.
I didn't think it's so difficult to get it.

The seller is located in Shenzhen. It must be China model but they say it has google play. They may replace firmware. I worry it to cause problem.

I'm fine to pay GST, but VAT in Europe is near 20%. I want to avoid it.

Am not sure if China resellers have access to global ROM model.
But i doubt they would open the new sets and flash themselves to global ROM.

I'm waiting for 8.4inch, but if huawei still gonna drag the local launch, then i will just get other brands.
