Hello,
I was trying to understand which of the Moto X versions works in Brazil ? (besides the one that is sold here).
Because I'm going to travel to Europe in a few months and I want to buy one that works both on Brazil and Europe 4G Network (LTE), but I don't know if there is any of that kind.
Could you guys help me with that information ?
Thanks.

Europe uses bands 3/7/20 (1800/2600/800) and apparently the main LTE band in Brazil is 7, so best would be the European version, but the AT&T version that is sold in Brazil should work inside most cities in Europe, as band 7 is usually used for urban areas..

XT1058 (AT&T) or XT1052 (Europe)
The best phone for you to buy is the retail XT1058 sold in Brazil.

Yes, it would be the best option if it wasn't too expensive .
I'm hoping to get one in Europe less expensive and when I get there I'll need a phone.. so I'll have to buy one there anyway
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I really want to buy the Moto X, but here in Germany the price for a bamboo one with 32GB ist a whopping 600€. And buying the Moto X for 600€, whereas my Nexus 5 costs 250€ less? Yeah no. In addition, the Nexus 6 will probably be cheaper as well, so I just cant justify spending that much money on the Moto X. Does anyone know, where I could get it cheaper (import etc.)? I mean, if I converted the USD price in euros it would cost 450€. Would really appreciate any suggestions

Someone mentioned that they were able to buy the Moto X with a key for motomaker at the Phone House (DE site) with free upgrade to either wood or leather.

Does anybody know already - is the unbranded european version of moto x (uk, de, fr..) identical to the pure version? I mean does it have the unlockable bootloader?

Thanks. Do you know what XT model is European Moto X or which LTE bands are supported? Are there different builds for EU countries like were for previous Moto x? You can't find any useful information on the sellers sites and asking them for help is fruitless. They don't know what they sell.

At this moment the pure edition doesn't support European LTE bands. It only supports bands 2, 4 and 17. Motorola said they will unlock bands 3, 5 and 7 soon via a software update. 3 and 7 are the important ones to Germany.

But we still don't if it's pure in the sense that the boot loader is unlockable. Can anyone confirm?
Motorola makes amazing phones but on the other hand it' s full of dirty tricks that annoy its customers. Remember that previous version was different for unlocked USA model, European and even Asian model. Does anybody has already new Eropean Moto X and can confirm that it is XT1095 and not 1094 or 1093 model?

Huh? 95 pure is USA only. Of what dirty tricks do you speak?
Well, it's a long history of them. Browse Motorola forums. Motorola is far to servile to the operators to the detriement of its own customers. Never truely analyzed whether such a policy pays off. I personally believe that their phones could sell better. It's not normal to not reveil significant parts of specifications for different models, weird mess with lte bands, blocked tethering, voip..
And those are only last issues.
Hi, if i buy a Droid Turbo from Verizon at full cost, will I be able to use it in Central America with a 850 HSDPA band and get good speeds on 3G (1 to 2 mbps)? Or does it just use Edge outside of Verizon?

The turbo covers hsdpa 850 so it should work fine on 3g. You'd just need to add the correct apn

Because I don't know when the Mexican version (Moto Maxx) is coming out and probably the price is going to be around $800, that's the price in Brazil while the Verizon version is going to be rough $650

Brazil and Mexico are really different countries, so also the prices are. The Moto Maxx start to sell on Nov 13, and it will cost the same as the Verizon version. The only version that Motorola would be selling here is the Ballistic Nylon version with 64GB. All the information was from the yesterday's announcement, so I guess it's a better option.

I know for sure that people would be selling them in eBay or a page called "Mercado Libre", that is kind of the mexican eBay. In Mercado Libre they already sell all the newest phones at very reasonable prices; you can always ask to some vendor if he is willing to make international shipping, because some vendors do it and some don't.

Actually in Costa Rica we also have Mercadolibre, but here the phones are about $300 to $400 more, with eBay the problem is that the prices of new phones are almost $200 more because its hard to get, I'll definitely look in the mexican mercadolibre but I need around the same cost as the phone, you think that Motorola Mexico would do international shipping?

The page in Motorola Mexico doesn't allow to do international shipping, because the address it get is from the CP you enter in the form, I tried with couple of CP from USA and the form was showing cities from Mexico, so I guess the buy is not possible directly from Motorola page.

hello friend, friend where I buy the DROID TURBO ???
thank you
As you may have heard the Droid Turbo and Turbo Maxx is not coming to Europe.
I am thinking about buying one from eBay and using it in the UK.
Will The 4G LTE work in the UK ?
GSM arena says Droid Turbo uses LTE Cat 4 (Bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13), also confirmed on Motorola website.
I use EE network in the UK, and I've been reading that EE uses bands 3 and 7
What is the significance of "Cat 4" ?
I'm assuming that LTE will work just fine as Droid Turbo does use bands 3 and 7 but can someone confirm whether this is the case ?
Also will I need to buy an unlocked model ?
Thank you
i use the Droid turbo in Italy
we use the same 4 and 7 band lte.
Cat4 means Category 4 150 mb in downlod and 50 mb in upload
the Verizon Droids are unlocked from factory and works with all sim cards.
in Us is prohibited to sell locked phones with operators.
so it will work in UK

I've never imported a phone before, is customs paid on delivery, to the delivery company, or do you pay to eBay, how does it work ?

Did you have to do anything special with your soft/hardware to get the droid turbo working? I´m talking about getting a phone and internet connection.

Moto Maxx XT1225 has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 . ("Official"specs do not show LTE band 5, but it's there.) Bootloader can be unlocked, phone can be rooted. We have TWRP recovery, and we're about to get CM12.
You can buy on EBay or Swappa. $650 -$735. New.
Comes with 64 GB internal storage and ballistic nylon back with Kevlar underneath. All the hardware of all the Quark phones is identical with the differences being storage and back covers.
If you don't care about rooting, running custom software then either Droid Turbo XT1254 or Moto Maxx XT1225 would do for your purposes. If you do care, then Moto Maxx.

no
the phone will work out of the box without doing nothing
the only problem is LTE with Wind and Tre that will not work everywhere,but only where band 7 has coverage
if u have Tim or Vodafone u will have LTE in every place where is available.
Does anyone know which bands the international version of this phone supports?
Thanks!

Nobody knows, waiting on the same thing, right now some stores in china are selling a "international version" of the phone but is the same phone just with CM12.1 and only have the LTE bands supported in china, not the ones we use in USA, so unless they release a US specific version LTE will not work on the US.
I tired to contact ZUK sales to confirm the bands, but no reply from them.
zuk.hk only shows chinese bands, but I can't believe they would release a phone to international markets without proper bands. That would be like shooting their own legs.
The chinese version would work for me though, only "semi-needed" band would be 4G band 20 (800MHz), which is quite new in Finland and used mainly outside bigger cities. Price of Z1 though is a killer, even though it is not as high spec'd as OnePlus Two, it is still an upgrade for OPO with cheaper price tag...
The only spec that the OnePlus 2 has higher than the Z1 is the CPU, but I prefer a SD 801 way more than a SD810 and his heating problems

What I've heard is that SD810 doesn't heat so much with the OnePlus 2, but maybe that's because it's underclocked (or that's what I've heard).
Other than that, they are quite similar. OnePlus 2 has 1GB more ram in the 64GB version though, but who needs 4gigs in a phone, really.... =)
But for me, ZUK Z1 seems like a good choice with bigger battery, USB-C 3.0 and cyanogen os out of the box. If I would buy these phones now, it would be (in euros):
OnePlus 2: ~425eur (incl. shipment) ~476USD
ZUK Z1: ~293eur (incl. shipment) ~328USD
hmm, not a hard choice
These are the bands:
TDD-LTE （bands: 38 39 40 41）
FDD-LTE (bands: 1 3 7)
TD- SCDMA (bands: 34 39)
WCDMA (850 900 1900 2100 MHz)
CDMA2000 (800MHz)
GSN/EDGE(850 900 1800 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800MHz)
There are quite a few reviews out now from people in the states. I saw one from zdnet this morning. And another from android headlines. It looks like they tried testing the device on T-Mobile and att and lte was not supported. From what I gather they got early release test devices that were in fact the international variant. So it looks like no lte for the states which is a major deal breaker. Otherwise this would have been the perfect phone for me.

My only hope is that they are testing the Chinese version with the International software..
There is no point in selling the international version to the US if it misses lte bands altogether..
I also hope that the new Zuk coming in January with the new Snapdragon will support all bands...
Is it me or all these international /Chinese brands always build the almost perfect phone? They get so close and mess up on the important stuff...

I was thinking the same thing. However I don't think missing the mark is just limited to the Chinese for example. The blu xl that just got released would have been absolutely perfect had it not been for it being 6 inches and bigger than the nexus 6! It is everything the new moto x pure is plus a finger print sensor for 349 US. Why in the hell they would stick with the sweet spot that everyone else is going with between 5.2 and 5.7 inches in beyond me. But yes lots of companies so close to the perfect phone this year. I can live without NFC even though I would really like to use Android pay. But no lte in the US is an absolute deal breaker.

Agreed.
Another example of a smaller brand getting almost everything right with the blu xl.
Blu has tons of phones and for their international debut they bring out this size "monster"..

Most likely they did test Chinese version with CM12.1 installed (not Cyanogen OS). There's bunch of sellers on Aliexpress that provide this phone with CM12.1 or similar ROM inside and Google Play also.
Still no confirmed information from Lenovo, ZUK or whatever, which brands are included in the "international" model. I agree that Chinese bands are a huge showstopper for US, but mainly OK for EU. Some bands missing, but nothing huge.
