I somewhat agree since 1+ has that kind of region for rom distribution. In the server itself has the segregation
anyhow if u flash the region rom it should follow the region coding
as said, only for previous model like CN / US set might have some diff since they may have some diff in term of the radio freq but im not sure now though

like my 1+9 is US set but u can still use MY 5G .. just it is a bit thicker compare to other 1+9 variants ... headache to get the phone cover
Yes bro. But IINM, during previous iterations, if you flash your phone to Oxygen OS from previous Hydrogen OS, the model no would still remain. That is how they differentiate from the different models for specific regions. But somehow, with the OP 11 onwards, flashing to Oyxgen Os from Color os actually changes the model no as well. So it will be harder to tell which region it actually came from except by looking at the box.
Yes, with previous iterations of Oneplus phones the modem network bands have slight difference because different regions would have different 4G, 5G network bands. So they have different network bands on the phones for different regions. Having said that, it would be costlier to have different phones with different modems for different regions. Might as well as just have one model that caters for all. Different is the FW on whether the phone gets Oxygen OS or Color OS.
Your 1+9 US Set which is global set is a little bit thicker because its comes with wireless charging while the Chinese sets doesn't get this feature. So yours is s better set.
