Moto Z Griffin different versions (and compatibility) - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Up to date I've counted three (or four?) different version of Moto Z Griffin (excluding Force/Sheridan and Play which are different phones...)
This is what I've understood (please note: I could be wrong! This thread is here to get more & correct informations...)
Variants found:
XT1650-01 this should be Verizon "Droid" customized version. It has (b)locked bootloader, customized software and very limited LTE support for non-Verizon carriers even if it is NOT SIM locked. I don't know if other North American versions will be marked this way...
XT1650-03 this is the UK version (EDIT: all international unlocked versions seem to be coded this way...). This has an unlockable bootloader by Motorola web site (voiding warranty... ) best LTE support (B20 too...) and it is NOT SIM locked (EDIT: exist even SIM locked on some markets). I don't know if models that will come out in other EU countries will have same code...
XT1650-05 this is the Chinese (far east?) version. This exists for sure in double-sim version (single SIM too?), it has unlockable bootloader (like -03), medium LTE support (B20 seems not to be supported...) and it is NOT SIM locked too.
Even if quite different from -03, TWRP and boot.IMG seems to be interchangeable between the two (to be confirmed!).
This what I know as today (and I could be wrong, ok?).
As you can see, here lacks at least XT1650-02 & XT1650-04 that I've not found everywhere... (EDIT: they should be both Force editions...)
All integrations & corrections are welcome! :fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
Some official product codes of European/Worldwide versions (they should be all XT1650-03...)

The rooting method provided recently.. does that work with the Verizon Moto Z?

I purchased the moto z XT1650-03 with AT&T in México, and comes with locked sim, i already unlocked the bootloader following the instrictions of motorola site.

Thank you for your info. Do you know if your specific model support LTE B20?

It seems that only XT1650-01 Verizon's Droid edition is clocked @2,2GHz, while unlocked ones (XT1650-03, XT1650-05 &, perhaps, unlocked XT1650-01 if North Americans unlocked models will be marked this way too) are clocked @1,8 GHz...
Confirms about this?

Great question...
Motorola Mexico web site?
Is this band used by Mexico carriers?

I bought mine on Amazon Mexico this week, is the white/gold model with three moto mods and the model is the XT1650-03, is SIM unlocked and, I didn't know this, but is double SIM ready!!! . I don't want to unlock the bootloader yet until some development will arrive.

Which is the diference between griffin and sheridan? I ask this because i'm confused, i was playing around with my moto z (not force), flashing some roms and boot.img what i found in this forums, and now when i put the Phone in fastboot mode, the info says i have a sheridan and don't know and don't remember if always was a sehiran. Or was a griffin and after flash one of the roms changed it from griffin to sheridan haahaha
The roms that i've flashed are for griffin and my Phone works fine.
PD. Sorry for my english i used google translator

As already reported in another thread Motorola has done a big mess with codeames and model numbers...
At least the unlocked Moto Z's are all Griffins even if on bootloader page are reported as Sheridans too (and on some sites too...). I don't know if locked Verizon's Moto Z are considered Griffin too (but they are Sheridans for sure).
Ley me add that about model numbers, XT1650-02 and XT1650-04 should be both Force editions (I don't know differences between the two... )

Updated OP with some European specific part numbers.

XT1650-03 Is also US Unlocked model (Firmware does say Griffin, but Bootloader says Sheridan)
So basically everything seems to be XT1650-03 except for Eastern Chinese 05 model and VZW 01 model.

This is really insane!

Hi all, need advice on a Moto Z China version. I recently purchased this phone and it does not comes with Google Play Services and unfortunately the device prevent you from manually install them into the phone (the services stopped automatically).
Is there a way to install it ? Need advice from all gurus.
Thanks,
Wind
*Opening a new thread for the question*

Updated OP with French versions (dual sim!)

Updated OP with Mexican & Indian versions (all 64 GB, all Dual SIM!)

Updated OP with Norway/Nordic versions (Dual SIM!)

Updated OP with Spanish versions... probably dual SIM.

I've received an unconfirmed info that Italian unbranded versions SM4421xxxH1 are dual SIM too (two IMEI reported on the box...)!
On Motorola.it web site they say single SIM like UK version...
Someone who can confirm or not about this?

LG V10 H900: AT&T

LG V10 H961N: Dual Sim International
LG V10 VS990: Verizon
LG V10 H961: Single Sim International (NO 4G LTE IN THE US)
There are more versions but I do not think there is a single sim version with 4G LTE in the US right now.
I would like to purchase one myself and think I might just end up passing on this phone totally because of this.
I will be using Cricket (AT&T) service.
The AT&T V10 can not be rooted so I will not buy that.
The T-Mobile version is missing band 17 LTE so it will not work 100% with AT&T.
The International version does not support LTE at all.
Horrible situation to have this phone in right now, I bet it would sell 2x as much if it were just a little more compatible with other networks.

All released within the last few years top of the range smartphone supports LTE, it's probably harder to find a top of the range smartphone that doesn't support LTE.

A few questions about the Moto Z Dual SIM

Hello Moto Z community!
I was about to buy a Moto Z since the price I found is a complete bargain! (Around 190-200€)
But then I realized that it was the dual sim chinese version (XT1650-05) and then a few questions went to my mind...
1.- Would it be compatible with all the roms made for the single sim version? I would never use the second sim slot , I would use it for the sd card
2.- If I buy it, Will it come at least in english? (My first language is spanish, but I could use it in english)
3.- If I buy the gamepad moto mod will it work properly? (I mean in the stock ROM, in the Custom Roms I saw that only a few supports them)
I'm a little confusef about the models of this phone and I prefer to ask before buy and make a mistake!
Thank you in advance people, and excuse me If I commeted a fail in the text, as I said, english is not my first language
Now it *should* however, double check. Chinese phones usually have more restrictions and slower updates. I'd look for a XT1650-03 model if I were you.
It sounds like the XT1650-05 does not come with Google Apps.

I just bought this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LEL8ABY/ and it is a dual SIM 1650-03 RETAPAC model.
I'd already bought a 05, cause un my country I couldn't get a 03 and the 32gb (the one for the EU) is just too expensive and I couldn't buy it, anyway when it arrives I'll test if everything works correctly and then try to install another rom or try the method that is around for install the verizon nougat and later update it to Oreo. Thank you anyway

will single sim model (SM-G9650)[snapdragon] support dual sim if sim tray is changed?

Hi @All I purchased new s9+ from Canada its model is SM-G9650 and i will use this phone in india .Now, this phone came with sim tray that supports only one sim + microsd card. My question is that will dual sim it work if i replaced sim tray and changed csc version?
Also can someone please tell me which csc version will be best suitable for volte to work as indian csc isn't available in snapdragon version?
That's not a canadian model, seems more like the chinese model which should be dual sim.
It's the same model that I have. bought in Chile, and I'm also interested in knowing if it turns out

Mine is also g9650 and Dual Sim, bought it in Chile (Iprotech as far as I remember)....

Does Lg G8x G850UM AT&T have dual sim option?

i see many users have lg G8x with 2 sim cards. My AT&T LG G8x can plug in 2 sim but it only showing 1. Is this because of the firmware or its physical. Sorry for my bad english!
I believe the g8x emw version is the only dual Sim version. It was released in europe best I can tell.

Question 512GB version in Europe?

I am trying to replace my dying Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and have Sony Xperia 1 III high on my list. Is there a 512GB variant for Europe (XQ-BC52) ? If so, where can I find it ? Alternatively, can I use a US or HK variant in Europe (that is, IF I can find 512GB versions of them here) ? I don't wish to downgrade to 256GB and I do need dual SIM.
