It's like the single sim. It's not like Samsung which Dou's versions are different.

Currently most ROMs only support single SIM variants with very limited support to dual sim devices or none at all, but this can change later.

The moto g runs stock android. Its not a custom skinned rom like HTC and Samsung like to do. So really, the only difference is the GPE doesn't have the 3 Motorola apps (migrate, help, and the better moto camera app). Also, the GPE will get updates a couple months before.
My suggestion is get the normal moto g because of the camera app is better. Though, really in day to day use, you'll never notice if its the normal one or the play edition.

3 actually usefull apps and also Regular Moto G has an F2fs file system which was first used in moto x and promises faster random data reads ( faster read performances )
And about the updates....You can be sure that as soon as Moto G gpe would get any s/w update...it will be ported soon enough to regular one too

Dual SIM Google Play Edition

>Dual vs Single: Dual SIM

Why?:confused:
Because you will have space for one extra SIM if some day you need it:), no harm in having two slots while if you have only one you might need to buy a new phone just for an extra SIM.:p

>Google Play vs Moto Version: Google Play

Why?:confused:
You will get unlocked Boot loader:D with warranty which you loose out in Moto Version:( in case you unlock your Boot loader.
Its like they unlock the boot loader for you with the warranty intact.
This will allow you to play with different ROMs without loosing out your warranty.:laugh:
For software support, Google ROM support will always be better than Motorola any day.:)
Further, in case of Hardware issues you shall be contacting Motorola in both cases so you aren't loosing out nothing :)
by buying a Google play edition.

Verdict: Dual SIM Google Play Edition :good:


Edit: as mentioned by @jaspreet997

Such phone is not available and also I have checked up the same.

So then opt for Simple SIM GPE untill and unless a dual SIM is very very important to you.

Reading this I again realized how different we people are. :) Because I would vote for a single sim regular phone instead. :D
- Why single sim? Because of the fact there are much more roms supporting only the single sim variant. Of course there will be dual sim roms, but when? I dont know? :) If in a month, then thats good. If in six months, thats bad ... many of us dont usually keep devices like this more than a year and being without flashing half of the time - nope, thanks! :D
- Why regular? I like what (little) Ive heard abou F2FS. And I dont care about warranty - I already have no warranty for my phone because I screwed up the purchase ... but thats another story :D

So, my advice - unless you need dual sim (or are going to need it soon), get regular single-sim.

Or not, it doesnt really matter lol ... :)

Good points.

Regarding f2fs, how hard can it be to format a partition? I'm actually wondering the answer to this, as I have the GPE and it seems CM11 for the Moto G just went official. But like you said, it looks like the GPE and the dual-sim owners will have to wait longer.
