I would like some advice do by a fold phone in china

​Hey everyone,

​I'm currently traveling through China (Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin, and ending in Shenzhen). I'm looking to buy a solid, recent passport/book-style foldable (Fold format only — no flip/clamshells).

​My budget is around 500 € to 600 €. Since I live in Europe, it must support Google services, Android Auto, EU banking apps, and LTE Band 20 natively out of the box.

​A few quick questions:

​Is it worth checking the used markets in Shenzhen (like Huaqiangbei), or will almost everything there be locked Mainland China ROMs?

​Should I just make a quick day trip to Hong Kong from Shenzhen to buy an official HK/Global version easily?

​Or am I better off holding out and buying a refurbished unit back in Europe (on Back Market/eBay)?

​If buying over here makes sense, which specific Fold model in the 500-600€ range would you target?

​Thanks for your help!
