I'm planning on it, but not until next March, or so. I have to get my tax refund back. I skipped the 2nd gen and the Moto G 4G.

The first thing you should check is the Frequency Bands used in your country and by your Carrier / Network:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe
It seems that XT1550 should work almost without problems in Europe. There is lack of support for B20 band, but everything else is same as in EU version.

Yes, I was going to say there probably would be no problems with XT1550. Maybe Amazon.es has Asian / Indian phone importers?

What does Digital TV mean? Streaming over internet ?

Not IPTV. The mentioned HDTV is similar to a conventional free over-the-air analog broadcast, but it's got a signal that translates to digital data.

Motorola have removed LTE Band 12 from the specifications for XT1540. First post updated.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a 2GB handset. You could start a new thread in 'General' called something like: Performance comparison - 1GB vs 2GB
Remember questions are not allowed in General, but a thread showing the difference between models would be tolerated. Don't ask a question in thread title or first post. You could simply state: Please post CPU-Z results here.
Hi, I think I'm going to buy this device but I have some compatibility questions: Will 1Gb ram model roms work on 2Gb one? And will the 1Gb ram models use all the capabilities of the 2Gb ram model?

As far as I know, there is no difference between the 1GB version and 2GB version other than the amount of RAM and Internal Storage. I expect the ROMs to be exactly the same, and inter-changeable. For example; a ROM compatible with XT1540 will work on either version - with the same features / options.
hmm i dont see the XT1540 (USA / tmobile) version selling with 2GB RAM anywhere yet...
only found the 1GB RAM on amazon so far..

The 2GB Version Moto G is exclusive to Moto Maker in many countries.
latin america gets HDTV and the states get fm tuner. oh well maybe in 2025 we'll get hdtv
Hi all, I'm considering buying an unlocked GSM Moto G 3rd Gen, and I am trying to figure out how it will work outside the US with other network operators. The 2 areas I am interested in are Hong Kong and Ecuador.
The network specs for the Moto G 3rd Gen are:
Code:
Technology GSM / CDMA / HSPA / LTE
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
CDMA 800 / 1900 - XT1548
3G bands HSDPA 900 / 2100 - XT1541
HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - XT1540
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 - XT1548
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800) - XT1541
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 17(700) - XT1540
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700), 17(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 41(2500) - XT1548
Speed HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps
GPRS Yes
EDGE Yes
GSM information from: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
China, Hong Kong (SAR):
Code:
900 1800
3G 2100 CSL Ltd; 3G 2100 HKT; 3G 900/2100 Hutchison; 3G 2100 SmarTone;
4G LTE HKT 1800/2600Mhz; 4G LTE Hutchison 1800/2600Mhz; 4G LTE SmarTone 1800Mhz;
Ecuador:
Code:
1900 850
3G 850 Claro; 3G 2100 MOVISTAR;
4G LTE CNT Mobile 1700Mhz;
My conclusion from the data above is:
Voice/SMS/2G Data - Supported in both HK and Ecuador because the Moto G supports all 850, 900, 1800, and 1900
3G Data - Supported in both HK and Ecuador on all carriers since all frequencies for the carriers are present in the phone specs for 3G
4G LTE - Supported in both HK and Ecuador on all carriers because all frequencies listed by the carriers are present in the 4G LTE list
Could someone eyeball these specs and let me know if I'm drawing the correct conclusions or if I'm actually misunderstanding how the bands work?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Edit: I was double checking the bands listed on gsmarena, which claims both Hong Kong and Ecuador have UMTS 3G bands. The Moto G specs say HSDPA for all the 3G bands. Does the phone need to have UMTS listed for it to work or are they compatible for 3G?
