Launched today in Malaysia. What version? - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Moto Z and Z Play have been launched today in Malaysia during an event in Kuala Lumpur.
I'm in Kuala Lumpur these day and I could be interested in buying one Moto Z if it will be the same as Indian version....
What is not still clear is what version will be sold here: 32GB? 64GB? Single or double SIM? When it will be available to stores?
Motorola Malaysia is very evasive on this... Someone has more sharp informations about it?
Before today some online retailer were selling some imported UK version here... but now?

It 64gb dual sim version XT1650-3.

Great! But lowyat.NET is a very "weird" web site...
They have news, forum, etc... but where I can shop on it?
Have you already received your? If not do you have an estimated date of receiving?
Do they have a phisical shop in Kuala Lumpur? Is it the Low Yat plaza CC? Because I've done two visit there in these days and I've not seen a single Motorola!
Please, let me know... Thanx again!

Yes, Motorola Malaysia confirmed on its Facebook page that is a dual SIM too... BUT I need one before me departure on November, 14th... and I think it would be hard since of what they declared...
I've understood you had already got one...

I bought mine via online expansys and shipped to Malaysia, takes about 2 weeks. RM2320 but single sim 32GB storage. You really need the dual sim? or the 64GB storage?

No, this is the UK version online resellers got from Hong Kong by Expansys before official launch... the specific Malaysian version is 64 GB Dual SIM.... anyway I'll not be able to got it before my departure on November, 14th I think...
Do you know a *valid* Lenovo reseller in Kuala Lumpur? (Physical shop I mean...)

Sorry I did not clarify. This morning they listed in Lazada and 11street as 32GB, and now thry changed it to 64GB. Im very sure it was listed by Lenovo Malaysia because they included the free JBL for first 50 customers.
Sorry pal but you got to keep your hopes very very low, no one in Malaysia really cares about Moto series. Try it, go to any lenovo store and ask them if they have clue about Moto Z. Looks like you gotta try flipkart india to get the dual sim 64GB.

I saw... technical level and knowledge of market of physical resellers is very low here in Kuala Lumpur: they all sell the same three/four brands (mainly Samsung, Oppo, Asus, Huawei, Yes and few other...) and have a very low knowledge of the market. None of the Lenovo reseller I contacted neither knew that Moto Z was out and that it would be sold by Lenovo resellers...
I can understand that is a new product here, BUT if you sell smartphones you have to know ALL THE market. Moto Z is out from June and on YouTube is full of review of it... how they can't even know it?
I live in Italy, I don't sell smartphone, BUT I know a lot of phones sold in China only like Umi, Dogee, e.g....

European launch

ZTE UK have mistimed the launch, the Amazon pro-order listing that went up yesterday was the official one even though the countdown only ended today - so there's a one month wait plus 2-3 weeks for delivery! And it's still not listed on ZTE UK's website.
The Quartz Grey should be launched sometime in August and there currently no plan at all for the 6GB / 128GB model.
It's a better phone than the OnePlus 3 but ZTE really need to sort out their marketing and distribution.
http://www.ztedevices.co.uk/zte-axon-7-available-in-europe/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HGBVGPS
http://www.ztedevices.co.uk/smartphones/
I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK and have an estimated delivery date of 1-3 August.
I hope they also release it on Ebay since I have some PayPal money I can't get rid of.
How do you know the release date of the Quartz Grey version ?
Sentable date: 30.07.2016 for the Gold one. But i think there just gonna be the 64GB Version. Anyway, more than in my HTC One M8!
I can not wait any longer. Want it now
All the amazon links for the phone in Europe, except UK, are currently showing as unavailable...The european launch just gets worse and worse.

It seems that all the efforts are now focusing US market and they are forgetting about european market for now.
Some good news guys!! Those who have ordered from the UK amazon seller i sent them an email complaining about the delivery date and got the reply that the ZTE original supplier dispatched from China on 15th July, so we should be getting the phones on time/ ahead of time, hopefully by the end of next week!
Since amazon UK won't ship internationally, will other Europe site do that? Couldn't spot that on amazon sites.
Thinking of software side, there shouldn't be any differences between phones shipped by amazon.fr, .de, ... , or is there?
Presumably they should be the same. The uk listing says it is an eu model

Any idea on how to get the phone in Europe?, pretty much, all the Amazon listing are gone and Amazon UK doesn't ship internationally.
Axon 7 could be only a vapour ware in Europe.
The availability is already uncertain.
The better option is simply ignore Axon 7 go for 1+3 or wait for the next nexus devices.
This was the email i received from the Amazon UK seller for those who are curious:
Dear client,
Thanks for your kindly patience and i just confirmed with our product manager and ZTE original supplier good news that the items has been dispatched from China to UK on 15th July.
Thus we hope all the orders would be dispatched in time /ahead time .
have a nice day

617 is a pretty bad processor, they should put the 652 or 650 at least.

How do you ship it to USA?
I contacted Axiom. They ship abroad (at least to Canada). But they are not releasing any until the official release date of Aug 10th.
I was also wondering about the region locking that samsung does. If this is not first started with a sim from that region, won't it fail to work with a foreign sim?

There was no region lock on the S7 Edge that I bought from Dubai, so hopefully there will not be on the Note 7 either. As far as I am aware, there has only been European and USA region lock on Samsung's earlier models.
Sent a message to jumbo cause it appears they take paypal. Hope they ship to America. Strange they are not on ebay already no one lives in dubai?

Do you know if it's coming with a 128gb SD card? Most of the other online places are including that. I was waiting for Axiom to have it in stock because they will ship internationally and include the SD card, but I'm still waiting.
This might be a noob question. But what's the difference between 930F and 930FD except the dual sim? What's the down side of the dual sim? Does it compromise anything? Which should I get for use in Canada? Thanks for any insight.
@ Wooba99
What Model and Color did you order?
That's the first time, that I see a dealer with a Coral Blue DUOS Model.
I just thought, this combo is not available

I didn't order yet. But that link is out of stock, the other colours aren't. I think it's just a mistake.

European warranty valid on Chinese M10 with European ROM?

So a seller is selling a Chinese Mate 10 but he will install an international ROM on it. The question is, is it the IMEI number that tells you the origination of the phone or the software version?
When I bought my Mate 9, it was the C636 Asia version and had no idea at the time it is not covered by Huawei UK support. So is it ok to buy a Chinese Mate 10 with an international ROM, or should I buy it somewhere in Europe where it is released like Spain or Mexico? I would like the phone to be covered by Huawei Support but not sure if they check the IMEI or Firmware version to determine if it is eligible for support/warranty.
Am in the UK.
Thank you!
It will not be covered.

Hmmm I am tempted to get one from China as it would be the 6gb, 128gb version for the same price as the 4gb, 64gb version in Europe. I works just lose the official support. Hmmm!

You will also notice some other minor issues as there is a reason the Chinese devices are separate from others. Things like GPS and the way cell signal are done are very different then in the rest of the world. I would do some research first as there are thousands of horror stories of people buying the China version of devices and things just not being dependable.

UK Single SIM

It seems the variant sold in the UK is single SIM only. What are the chances of somehow activating that second SIM slot?
Not sure on the SIM issue, but can I ask where you ordered from and which firmware you had. I am in the UK also looking to buy, not sure what I will need. thanks in advance.

I've not ordered yet, the only place to order so far in the UK is Carphone Warehouse who are only selling single SIM version. I'd rather dual SIM which can be bought from Amazon.de
I take it from that you are looking at the Pro, was looking at the standard 10 myself which is why i was curious.

Hi. I'm in the UK. I bought the 4/64 Mate 10 from Wonda Mobile. Think it's the Chinese version but they put the international Rom on before shipping. Mine arrived with a UK charger which was an unexpected bonus as they had said would be Chinese plug with adaptor.

Cheers, never used wonda before so its good to hear from someone in a similar situation to get some info/feedback.
I purchased from eGlobal and have the dual SIM version but the second son slot doubles as an SD card slot, win/win!

Where to buy in UK.

Hi,
I know that there was shop online at official uk motorola site at some point, but they remove it.
Where can I buy Z series from official retailer or so in UK.
It must be brand new and unused.
Thanks
Mac
