How to determine XT1900 variant from the box?

[ezas]

I went to Best Buy to get an X4 fully expecting to get the Retail Motorola version. I checked the shelf tag and it didn't say Android One. When I got the box home before I opened the box I checked that the label did not say Android One anywhere.

Turns out it IS the Android One version. It's on the boot screen and in about phone as variant Google Fi.

I plan to go to Best Buy again and discuss this. But my question is how can I tell the variant from the label on the box so THEY can know which one is in the box?

The label has a field marked Type: M2297

Can someone with a Retail X4 check if they have a different number? Or does someone know how to tell from the box?
-----------------------------------------------------

Update: The Variant can be found by looking at the P/N: on the label on the box

'retail' version: PA8S0007US

Android One version: PA8S0025US

Moving forward Best Buy will be selling Android One version of the X4 in an unmarked box. Nothing that indicates it's the Android One.

What is the SKU? Can probably match it to Motorola website.

They don't give any kind of model number/SKU on the website under full specifications. They just list them by name.

Mind uploading a picture of the box? Hide out the serial or imei # if you can

I'll tell you right now the Android One box is fairly obvious. Someone @ BB probably put it into the incorrect box as unlikely they obtained it that way themselves.

You are my savior. This should be the evidence I need to return it if I want to without the return fee. My box is blue and just says MotoX4.

Will do. Why would I need to block out the serial/Imei? What could someone else do with that info?

Against any kind of abuse, just do it like in the attachment

I can block it out but I'm curious what someone can do with my imei or my serial number?

Here is what seems to be the pertinent info.

FYI blue box is totally retail not amazon or fi.

It's totally strange. It was shrink wrapped and had a piece of imprinted Motorola tape on the box.

Refurbished unit maybe? Was supposed to be a store display but never got put out??? The sales person said he wasn't sure it was from because he did not show any instock.

Not really sure what you could do with that info either but you should block the barcode too.

If you share your IMEI number it will provide access to your location and call logs. Also people can record or listen to your calls. The important use of an IMEI number is to identify your mobile devices. If your mobile have been lost, you can easily identify it with the help of IMEI number.

The right person would know how to abuse it. It's just a precaution, unless you're selling it. Buyers check it to ensure its not blacklisted.

Just picked one up from Best Buy the other day. It is the Android one, says on back of phone, Software Variant in System Settings is google_fi, updated to pie.
Came in blue box, all sealed. No reference to Android one on box.
