Launched today in Malaysia. What version?

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....

Huawei Mate 10 Pro - Carphone Warehouse pre-order - Dual Sim or not?

Hi all, I'm looking at pre-ordering but seems its possible the UK only gets the single sim version. Can anyone confirm? Even carphone can't be 100% sure but they say that if theres a choice from the manufacturer, then Carphone Warehouse choose the non-dual sim version.
Dual sim is very important to me hence why I'm asking.. If anyone knows - do let me know.
I am wondering the exact same thing. All previous huawei phones they have sold have been single sim so I would assume this will be no different. According to GSMArena a single sim version does exist so chances are it's that one carphone will stock. It would be a shame though as their price is pretty good and includes a smartpen thing but single sim would be no good for me either
Called them again and they do say its single sim... :/
Yea price is great at £699 plus that free moleskin thingy..
For UK single sim only, and only titanium grey color
http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/phones/mate10-pro/specs/
If you can get someone to buy one for you from Germancy, France or Netherlands, you can get the dual sim version and in other colors options as well:

http://consumer.huawei.com/fr/phones/mate10-pro/specs/
http://consumer.huawei.com/nl/phones/mate10-pro/specs/
And in Germany you are getting the Moleskine pen as well:
http://www.huawei-promotion.de/denkt-mit/
To get the free moleskin in Germany , you need a German address for the gift to be posted to. Amazon Germany has the blue. Main issue is the plug isn’t UK standard and if you want fast charge then you’ll you need the UK one.

Use an adapter?
Someone on another forum said they picked one up in store already. Anyone seen them in store at carphone warehouse?

That's not true. Even if you get the official Huawei Fast charger in the box but it has the wrong pins for your country, just use a travel adapter. I got mine from China. It came with a 2 pin official fast charger and a 3pin UK adapter. Super Charging works fine with an adapter.

Also, fast chargers aren't exactly friendly to batteries, so if you do get a foreign charger just use a standard brick and help maintain your battery. Keep the 2 pin with UK adapter for when you really do need a fast charge.
Showing delivery tomorrow, 16th, instead of the 17th as previously advertised. That'd be great. I should have in my hands tomorrow the pro then.
Anyone received text from dpd about delivery?

Your post encouraged me to check the radio specs for this "international version" I was able to place my order last night at amazon.de and says it'll be here 23-24th. The total after Expedited shipping was 850.xx. The price dropped after I went to checkout.

Yup, I received my Pro on the 16th around 1pm, was fantastic to have it a day before advertised although it didn't include a nano SIM so I had to go hunting around town for one.
Absolutely love the phone.
Just received mine today from CPW, was waiting like a kid a christmas for DPD this morning!! Its quite a nice phone I will admit, just waiting on all the apps/data etc to download now

What's everyone think of the phone?
I've got a Pixel 2 XL, but I've had display issues and random reboots so I'm returning it.
Look at this mate 10 pro in carphone warehouse earlier and it looked nice !!

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

Hello yes, in Spain you can already buy, will there be development? xiaomi eu custom aosp?
I tried to buy the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5g from Yaphone dot com on 4th April 2021. They cancelled my order and did not refund the full amount. I am still waiting for my bank to help. Terrible service from Yaphone. Avoid. Only pay on a website with paypal.

Yes, Xiaomi EU for sure. Not sure about AOSP.
Are there any spanish sellers who ship this phone to other countries within EU?

Hey,
Thanks!
392€ I hope that this price is ok.
I bought mine directly from OnePlus US site and had the phone sent to my US address to be forwarded to my Country's local mailbox I managed to receive the phone but keep in mind that you may have an issue with 5G signal and you may have to mess around with the policyman carrier config in order to get the phone to pick your country's 5G signal at least that what happened to me.

they do not sell any smartphones lol
I emailed and sent messages to website many times to Portugal vendor Tek4life mentioned here - ZERO response lol no one bothers (even sent Portugese translation so was respectful of language difference). Cannot find it anywhere else in European sites. (found it in 2 other sites in Portugal but they only ship mainland)

Nice! I will get the 4G-versionen today. If it feels good I may buy the 5G-verison later.
Looking to buy it from New Zealand, but it's not available here yet.
I've been looking at AliExpress daily, it's still not there.
Any other safe options? Shipping with Belsimpel will be too expensive.
Was able to preorder for 30.04 on amazon.de today
ordered mine on tuesday and received yesterday (cdiscount.com) in France
