Price of Moto g

I've just started looking at Moto g and wonder if amazon's current price of $199 for a 16g unlocked global GSM is a good price or what it always costs?

Will a global model work in the USA?
Thanks.

If you buy direct from Motorola, it's $199 even (your screen shot show $199.99). I don't know if you have Amazon Prime, but you won't have to pay shipping if you do. I assume you'd have to pay shipping from Motorola. Tax will depend on where you live, of course. We, here in Texas, get charged tax from Amazon, but that free shipping with Prime is nice.
As far as your question about the global mode working in the US, there have been a few threads about that; I believe in the Q&A section of the Moto G forums. Basically, it will work, but depending on your area, and who you choose to use as a service provider, you may or may not get the HSPA+21 speeds. The US model is more likely to get you the faster speeds here in the US (especially if you use T-Mobile).

I have Amazon prime, and before I bought mine I compared the final in-cart price for both amazon & Motorola. It was about a dollar cheaper on the Motorola site, both with free 2-day shipping.

Got mine from Amazon. Motorola is apparently having issues with orders getting canceled and what not. Just make sure that it is actually sold by Amazon and not a 3rd party seller. All the Moto G unlocked phone cost the same new AFAIK $199. Look at swappa.com there is one for sale at $195 used. Only thing cheaper is going to be a carrier locked handset. Global will work just like the US version, except slower speeds on T-Mobile verses the US model. The difference is one band for HSPA+ (3.5G) compare the bands with your carrier. Also, the Global version shows the carrier name in your status bar while the US version does not. I would go for the US version unless you go out if country a lot because that one appears to get updates sooner as apparent by the KitKat updates.

The only thing I could add in favor of purchasing through Amazon is they give you reward points to spend on future orders. Of course, you need to use Amazon at some future point to benefit but if shop with them on even a semi-regular basis, this might be a consideration.

[Q] Buying Nexus 5

I decided to buy a Nexus 5 (16GB version), in my country (Eastern Europe) it is about $625 (including standard 2 year warranty).
And one of my friends told me that he'll be visiting Japan, so I want to make him buy for me. If he can find one i estimated the price to be around $475 including the registration fee and taxes to my country, but I learned that the warranty would not be valid in my country. And my friend does not know too much about these devices.
So would it be worth the risk, or should i just buy from my country?
Thanks.

Well, it seems to come down to whether the two-year warranty is worth $150, which works out to $6.25/mo. I would say that's a pretty good deal.

Hi mate,
First thing, Nexus 5 is a very good and rocking Android smartphone
Buy it from your country so that you won't be void of the warranty

MediaMarkt in the Netherlands had a special 21% off sale, the 16GB goes for 330 euro`s till Sunday.
Look on Amazon.de (Germany), the 16GB model goes for 390 euro`s. They ship within the EU.

Hmm, but adding the taxes and registration fee to my country, it almost becomes around the same price anyway.

It's in store only. Sorry forgot to mention that. Updated OP with picture!

apparently this is currently only on the east coast as well. most users on the west coast have seen $50 at the most. myself including

I'm checking in the Nexus player section today because I picked up one this morning at a Frisco, TX Target for $24.98.
My original tip to the sale was from here: http://slickdeals.net/f/8168644-nexus-player-on-clearance-at-target-for-24-98-ymmv. There is plenty of discussion there about regional distribution and timing of the markdowns.
I also checked local inventory levels via brickseek.com, which seemed reasonably accurate (though it showed a $50 price, despite the lower in-store price).

The slickdeals thread has the details, but apparently most Targets do markdowns in electronics throughout the day on Mondays. So it's not surprising that you saw it for $50 yesterday.

Interesting, I went to one and called another here in El Dorado County (east of Sac). And both showed $50 still.
I actually used to work for Target. The one that I worked at were always done with markdowns by 10am, perhaps they are on a different schedule...

Yeah when I first heard I was skeptical because the website show'd $99, but then in the store it show'd $49, and then the clearance down to $25. I don't care how it got to $25, i'm just glad I got one!

Grabbed the final one in Brentwood MO. Did an inventory check at the store. Nothing available in the St Louis area.

in north texas as well. I went to Target in Allen off 75. It still showed $50 when the guy scanned it, but i told him my "friend bought one clearance at another target" and showed him the pic from slickdeals. He matched it for me....but only for 1. That was on Sunday afternoon. I need to go back and see if they finally marked the rest down. These would be good xmas gifts for my nerdy friends haha....my family wouldnt know what to do with these things.

Today is the markdown day. All Target store will have this for $25

Doesn't seem they are killing Android TV. I think it's possible they are releasing a new Nexus Player, Google usually doesn't announce hardware in advance. But who knows, we'll see in a few weeks.

Who is getting one ?

I am wondering if the camera is an upgrade from V40. I am also wondering if the Quad DAC tuned by Meridian sounds as good or better than V40.
Who else is ordering?
I can see them listed on ebay. Very tempting.

Check Wonda Mobile, it may not be the European version but it's a lot cheaper, so waiting for the price to drop or when more LG G8 become available!

I'm in Canada. My carrier is Bell mobility. Bought the Korean version LG V50 with dual screen as a package. Bought it on eBay. I'm loving my day to day use on it, it's a excellent kickass product.

Sadly not available in the UK via eBay, I wonder how it compares to the G8 as this would be my first LG phone.

In the UK the V50 will be quite pricey on contact so Wonda might be an option. I'm weighing up getting the V50 or something like the Lenovo Z6 Pro which is getting a global release this Thursday on Aliexpress - Lenovo's official store having a sale I think. Lenovo Z6 Pro is only £400 - looks a great bargain.
Both LG and Lenovo don't have a great track record of updating Android but Lenovo might be improving as two updates have been issued since the Z6 Pro was released in April.

Prices are in dollars, and delivered by Fedex .
I ordered on a Monday and got it on the Friday of the same week.
I followed it on tracking and was a bit jealous as it took a tour round Paris before getting to me,
After getting the phone I received an email from fedex with a £25.00 charge for import duty.
Hope this helps.

Forecast price in UK is £805 for the handset only and over £100 for the second screen. I can't find a price for the second screen by itself.
I think I'm on or about the price it will go for in the UK. However EE have exclusive rights in The UK or at least they say they do so I don't know if you will be able to buy a sim free phone in the near future in the UK.

Box content in Cantonese/Mandarin??

Hi,
I ordered my 7 Pro from Amazon prime since it was guaranteed next day shipping; store was swiftronics.
Everything seems to be okay but when paying attention to the content of the box, nothing is in english. The documentation, welcome note from the owner/CEO, everything is in mandarin/cantonese. Also, when I do a factory reset, instead of "wiping partitions" or whatever is written at the bottom of the progress bar, it's also something in a language I don't understand.
I also noticed that when I boot it up, for 2-3 seconds, i'll see the oneplus logo, the "powered by android" at the bottom and it won't be centered, as if it was an image for a different resolution phone. After those 2-3 seconds, screen goes black and then the same logos come back but this time they are centered.
Should I be worried that I was sold a unit made for the Asian market? I don't care so much about documentation but I know China for example has its own restrictions for the internet and I don't want to have those in Canada.
In the about phone, it says Model GM1910, Oxygen OS 9.5.11.GM21AA.
Would it be different hardware for North America / Canada?

Quick update, I checked with the online chat with OnePlus and it's definitely a device made for China, not north america. It seems to work fine but I might try to return it and buy it again directly from OnePlus instead.

I also own a GM1910 with flashed Oxygen OS. My data wipe screen is in English as well so I'm not very sure what's going on there.
GM1910 (the Chinese model) is basically the same hardware, but it has different band support (missing Band 71 and several other). Here is the supported bands from the chinese model
Code:
FDD LTE: B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66
TDD-LTE: B34,38,39,40,41
TDS: B34,39
UMTS: B1,2,4,5,8,9,19
CDMA: BC0,BC1
GSM: B2,3,5,8

Thank you. I'm not concerned about documentation but the off center logo I find weird and you confirming that the bands are different makes me more confident that I should return in and buy one from Oneplus canada directly.
I'll just go back to my 6T for a few days while figuring out the return with Amazon.

So yours came with Hydrogen and you flashed Oxygen? Mine came with OxygenOS so I have a feeling this seller buys phones, flashes them to OxygenOS, and re-sells them as international.

Yeah I think that is very likely the case bc your model is should only be sold in China and all oneplus phones sold in china comes with hydrogen.
Just an assumption, as Chinese models are sold at a relatively lower price, maybe your seller purchased them in China and shipped them there to get the price lower.

I noticed that too, hence why I bought it from OnePlus in USA directly and not Amazon.
Sent from my GM1917 using Tapatalk

On Amazon Canada, the version with 8gb/256gb was 949$CDN with next day shipping thanks to Prime. On the OnePlus store, it's 939$ but it ships from California so it takes longer to get to Canada. Not long but a few days longer.
Other reason I wanted to buy from Amazon is that I knew I'd love the phone but I was concerned about the size. Since our family buys a LOT from Amazon, I would not be too concerned about returning a phone if the size was a huge issue.
Turns out it's big, really big, but I can get used to it. What I don't want though is to have a phone for the next two years that might not be perfectly setup for north America.
I returned the Amazon phone last week and will order from OnePlus once they confirm my credit card has been credited.
It might not be a big problem but I plan on keeping the phone for awhile and I want to make sure it's perfect. It being a model for the Chinese market would bug me every day so I didn't want to keep it.
Edit: I forgot to mention that since it's made for China, it should come with hydrogen OS but it came with Oxygen OS so it's possible that store opens the phones, flashes oxygen OS, then repackaged them as "new from factory"

Do you get a one year warranty? If not, send it back to Amazon and order from OnePlus. Not having band 71 on the Chinese model is moot, since only t mobile USA uses it.

On Amazon Canada, the version with 8gb/256gb was 949$CDN with next day shipping thanks to Prime. On the OnePlus store, it's 939$ but it ships from California so it takes longer to get to Canada. Not long but a few days longer.
Other reason I wanted to buy from Amazon is that I knew I'd love the phone but I was concerned about the size. Since our family buys a LOT from Amazon, I would not be too concerned about returning a phone if the size was a huge issue.
Turns out it's big, really big, but I can get used to it. What I don't want though is to have a phone for the next two years that might not be perfectly setup for north America.
I returned the Amazon phone last week and will order from OnePlus once they confirm my credit card has been credited.
It might not be a big problem but I plan on keeping the phone for awhile and I want to make sure it's perfect. It being a model for the Chinese market would bug me every day so I didn't want to keep it.
Edit: I forgot to mention that since it's made for China, it should come with hydrogen OS but it came with Oxygen OS so it's possible that store opens the phones, flashes oxygen OS, then repackaged them as "new from factory"

As you clearly are not comfortable with the actual situation and as long as you still have the return window open, there is no other way to happiness except returning the phone to Amazon and buy another one from oneplus. You will never have peace of mind knowing that the seller did that trick to make the phone international...

I hate returning stuff because I'm really happy with the phone and I'm not sure how much money merchants lose on returns. I don't think they were dishonest, but I think it qualifies as selling something not exactly as advertised.
Lesson learned, I bought my 6T directly from OnePlus, I should have done the same for my 7 Pro.
