The US motorola site lets you purchase a Moto G (Global GSM) model at the same price of 199$ for the 16GB one.
I was wondering if its possible to buy a Moto X (XT1052) UK edition (with LTE 1800mhz) from the US at around the same price (329$).
The Moto X if bought in UK converts to around 550$ which is prohibitively high and you don't get the customization options as well.
I wouldn't say so, whoever Motorola's distributor is in the UK wouldn't be over joyed by that.
Are you in Europe or USA?

Yup, ebay. but for that price probably only used ones. Hope that helps!
Also, you could see which US versions match your bands since they're on sale for cheap for another week.

Am in Asia actually and am trying to have a friend in the USA buy it from Motomaker. And the LTE band used here is band 3 (1800), which the UK Moto X (XT1052) has.
The used UK models on ebay are double the price of a brand new US moto x. Guess I'll have to skip LTE.
I am in Ireland and to get a 32gb Dev Edition, I had to buy from the USA. I won't need LTE for probably 2 years.
Mine including shipping cost me €320
There are people in Ireland and on Ebay looking for €600 for them!!

Seems I'm the first one to open a Thread for the Moto G 2014. *proud*
Did anyone find a source to get a dual-sim version of the Moto G(2) 2014? Preferably on the European mainland.
I'm thankful for every information I can get!
Cheers,

Motorola gave out the dual-SIM version to journalists, including myself, yesterday. Is this not the one being sold on Amazon?
Actually, I find it hard to see anything on Amazon. Not helped by Motorola thinking it could call the new Moto G the Moto G (2nd generation) or Moto G 2014 as people are also calling it.
It makes it quite hard to identify which is which on the website, and no doubt elsewhere.

I don't know what is sold on Amazon? With Amazon I would give it a blind order try but I can't find it on .co.uk nor on .de. Did you find it?
Not yet. Lots of the original 3G model at some rather inflated prices though.
Any chance you can upload 2 or 3 pictures taken with it?

I don't know about the European mainland but you can get it in India from Flipkart.com; sales are starting from tonight at sharp 1200hrs.
Yes, the European version is with dual sim, at least believing on Expansys and Handteck, that already are selling the phone... can't find it on amazon thought..
The only downside there it seems to exist is that there are only a 8GB version
Sorry to tag on this thread, does the 2014 moto G have a multi colour LED notification?
Lots of misleading info out there...anyone know whether the US has a dual SIM version and the bands for the dual SIM versions? The Motorola website as it is now is pretty useless.

Before I ordered mine on friday I asked Motorola Germany via facebook if it has dual sim as i couldn't find any infos on motorola Hompage or the german onlineshop (notebooksbilliger.de - they sold on friday with 32GB microSD for € 199,-). On facebook they told me it has dual sim.

I'm planning on getting mine but I'm not sure which seller would ship it quicker. (I was between Walmart and Submarino - These are Brazil only retailers if someone is wondering).
It may be a great phone from what I've been researching.

I bought mine from lojaoficialmotorola . com . br
Purchased on Saturday, arrived on Tuesday, 3 days later!
No regrets so far...
Also got my "normal" moto g 2014 yesterday with dual sim from a German retailer
One doubt guy, does both sims support 3G ?? I heard that only the first supports 3G, the second only 2G...
Is this true??
No one can help me???
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.

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.
Does both the Project Fi version and Regular Motorola version that is up for preorder tomorrow belong in the Android One Family? Or are they going to be on different update paths again?
They do not use the same software.
The regular Moto X4 has a bunch of Motorola software, and includes Alexa. The Android One Moto X4 will be a strictly 100% google software phone, and will include the google assistant. There may be other differences, but we're not sure yet. The Regular X4 touts features like "professional mode" on their camera, and a bluetooth system that will connect to and stream audio to 4 speakers at the same time. It's not sure if these features will make it to the Project One X4. The Project One X4 should get updates faster, and is promised to get Oreo before the end of the year. The Reg X4 will get Oreo as well, but we're not sure when.
Since it's the same hardware on both, and since the Android One X4 has been promised to upgrade to Android P, I would imagine the Regular X4 would also get P, but don't quote me on that.
Note: upgrading to Oreo is also required to unlock the Bluetooth 5.0 features. Android 7.1 only allows up to 4.2.
I received my Project Fi version this afternoon and it still has a surprising amount of Moto software features. It is not 100% pure Android.
Both Moto Actions and Moto Display are present.
Also the Camera app/experience is fully Moto.
No Alexa of course. And the Multi device Bluetooth control doesn't seem to be here.

Does this mean that in order to root, we will need to wait for a Fi-specific recovery image from twrp or cwm?

I'm honestly not sure, but I doubt it... If a custom recovery is ported/developed for the X4 it will most likely work on any X4 that is bootloader unlockable. I don't think the software channel will matter.

I just figured out there are more than one variant of Moto X4, I found out Android One version of Moto X4 has bluetooth 4.2 while original version of Moto X4 has Bluetooth 5.0.
I asked Project Fi support team any Moto X4 will work on Project Fi so I'm thinking to order unlocked version to use the hardware 100% for same price.

That is only partially true.
Hardware:
There are multiple hardware variants of the X4. Most of them have to do with antenna frequencies for different countries, and dual-sim options. From what I can tell, most American phones are the same hardware: "XT1900-1". There are multiple software variants, depending on who you bought it from (retail, Amazon, Fi, etc), but it's all the same hardware.
Bluetooth:
All Moto X4 have a Bluetooth 5.0 chip in them. Android Nougat only supports Bluetooth 4.2, so we're software limited to 4.2 for now. This is true for ALL software versions of the phone. It's a driver issue, and not something that Motorola can bypass. Android Oreo supports Bluetooth 5.0, so we will "unlock" 5.0 support when we get the 8.0 upgrade. Again, this is true for all software variants, not just Fi or retail.

It seems the Android one version does not support one button nav or Moto key. Other Moto actions like chop for flashlight and twist for camera are there however. Not sure if this is just an oversight on motorolas part or not.

Moto Voice on Android One version?
I'm seriously considering coming back to Motorola with the Moto X4. The Moto Voice app really has the best in-car experience with Ford Sync systems. However, what I don't like with Moto is the slow update schedule.
So, I thought I found the perfect phone when they announced the Moto X4 Android One version, except that it doesn't look like Moto Voice is available on that version. Has anyone tried to install Moto Voice on the Android One version? Does anyone know what would prevent installing this app?
Thanks much!

I'm tyring to understand if this a real moto.
1) The price of this item looks too good to be true.
2) In GGMarena I only see 64Gb for the G7 plus ansld this one listed as 128Gb.
The seller told me that this is CN model with global ROM.
Will I be able to unlock the bootloader and flash custom roms?
Any ideas about this?
Looks fake to me tbh

Check on motorola website if it exists.
I did found some info on the issue:
The 128Gb is a real version in china:
https://www.gizmochina.com/2019/04/...us-with-4-6gb-ram-and-128gb-storage-in-china/
I had a strange talk with a chine representative over WeChat and he told me that not google apps run in that phone.
and also gave me a site from Motorola that should allow to unlock it's bootloader:
https://www.zui.com/iunlock
But I have no idea if the hardware is the same as the normal G7 plus so not sure if a custom ROM will not brick it...
If it is running the international ruu then it would have Google play store preinstalled.......
