Moto G6 Plus will NOT be available in US

[HACK3DANDR0ID]

I just spoke to a Moto Rep face to face at a Verizon Location. I asked specificly when the G6 Plus would be available in the states and he said only 4 devices will be available in that price range, the E4, E5, G6, and G6 play.

Then in the 2 quarter they will announce the Z3 which he wouldn't comment on....

*EDIT*

I ended up purchasing a Moto G6 Plus Dual SIM International Model, because it has all the current GSM Carrier LTE Bands, but this model does not play nice on CDMA Carriers LTE, except TMOs 600mhz... Contacted Motorola in regards to turning the 600mhz band on, awaiting a reply.

Also, I contacted Moto Customer Care, they confirmed what i previously stated, in regards to NO USA G6 Plus Version.....

*EDIT*

The Moto G6 Plus Dual SIM variant will the Model # XT-1926-7 WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH AT&T WIRELESS AND T-Mobile, except for TMO's 600mhz band, which i am waiting for an answer from the Moto Gods above...

 

[HACK3DANDR0ID]

The dual Sim international version has same LTE Bands as US except 600mhz. I just ordered a G6 Plus International version from Amazon.

Lenovo trying to commit suicide in the US?

 

[HACK3DANDR0ID]

Ordered a XT-1926-7 Dual SIM Variant of the Moto G6 Plus from Amazon, will be here tomorrow....

By the way, This particular model covers ALL GSM Carriers LTE Bands for AT&T and TMO, except for the 600 mhz band which i am waiting to find out if theres an ON switch for that...

Does this mean the 600mhz band only applies to T-Mobile, or would need to switch it on to use with AT&T as well?

I believe the 600mhz band is more for capacity issues, and im not sure if ATT will have Roaming Agreements with TMO on said spectrum... sorry

*edit*
But the model i ordered, the XT-1926-7, covers ALL ATT and TMO current bands...only a handful of devices are running 600mhz while other models will just require an OTA update to turn 600 to the ON position.

 

[Justin Hood]

edit- just saw your edit. I just looked it up, and my current US market phone is not among the handful that support that band anyway.

Thank you. I live in a remote rural area where T-mobile reception was bad, and AT&T is acceptable with a normal USA phone, so I probably do need all those bands.

Disappointed to find out no G6 plus or Nokia 7 plus in USA. Maybe that will change. In the meantime it would be great if international versions works just as well- please update if/how you get that band turned on.

 

[HACK3DANDR0ID]

Mine should be here any minute

My luck USPS will run late today....

I don't understand their sales policy, don't know about US but example from UK:
G6 Plus exclusively sold by one company not available elsewhere. Amazon UK for some reason only sells G6 Play as well says "exclusive for Amazon" but lets say Amazon DE do sell G6 Plus. P.S. Why Motorola don't sell their phones directly on their website..? I'm confused...

Update on Activating/Enabling 600 mhz

fo use on t-mobile. Just ordered phone. Thanks

If I call Moto/Lenovo direct, could I buy one for use in USA? If I told them I will be traveling abroad? Maybe?

Don't believe what they say on the Amazon website about the LTE bands for the MOTO G6 Plus (XT191926-7).
They say:
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 12(700), 13(700), 17(700), 20(800), 25(1900), 26(850), 28(700), 29(700), 30(2300), 38(2600), 41(2500), 66(1700/2100) - Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)
This is not true.
The LTE bands are:
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600) - Europe
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 28(700) - Brazil
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 18(800), 19(800), 26(850), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500) - India

After i found that same info, that there isn't a -7 variant and reported the seller.. The person who started this thread wasnt so lucky here or on the moto board..

No just but it off Amazon. I live in US and bought it from Amazon.com.

There is a XT1926-7 Variant for the G6Plus as I have it. What do you mean the OP was not so lucky?

 

[john.r.m]

I used this info to inform my decision to return the g6 +

https://www.phonemore.com/motorola-moto-g6-plus/models/1819

since It doesn't list a -7 variant as the amazon ad does. If yours is a -7 variant it will be marked on the phones back bottom bezel. In the end i couldnt construct enough supportive data that persuaded me to buy the g6+. Probably the largest factor was that the G6+ didnt have a US warranty. Search for the OPs name on the G6+ motorola forum and read his lengthy exchange with them about the phones compatibility with US networks.

Stop with the misinformation.

First, you say there is no XT1926-7, now you say there is. Yes there is:
https://fccid.io/IHDT56WL5/Test-Report/XT1926-6-XT1926-7-TestRpt-DXX-3754423

Secondly, no it does not say it on the bezel. Again, take it from someone who owns the device.

Third, as for TJ/The OP, great guy. Talked to him on many occasions in the Telegram dev chat. I don't recall him having issues with carriers, but maybe I am forgetting something. We had issues with the software channel setting being RETLA not RETUS, so that might be a factor if he did indeed have issues. In either case, the device works fine for me on Straight Talk(AT&T), Simple Mobile(T-Mobile), and Walmart Family Mobile(T-Mobile). I see in the OP he mentioned CDMA carriers. The FCC report states it only supports WCDMA not CDMA. So that's probably a factor to.

If you have passed on the device, please pass up this part of the forum rather then spreading misinformation and contradicting yourself about a device you don't own which contradicts your earlier post here.

1- So what is the designation of that -7 variant? Does it get all the US LTE bands?

2- My G6 had it on a sticker fixed on the back.....

3-WhoTH said anything about anything being your friends fault? Nice of you to stick up for him though. So..it had to do with the software channel as you mentioned. How did you fix it?

Heres a link to the moto forum thread i reference...https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...26-7-How-to-change-Retail-Channel/m-p/4119230

4- Again, MAIN reason i didnt buy this device was the lack of a warranty..

Have a good weekend...cheers

1. Answered in the Moto Forum Post you linked to, but It get's all T-Mo bands. I can't be asked to research other GSM based LTE Bands used in the US, but again, the phone works on AT&T and T-Mobile for me. I don't know what TJs issue was seems it is isolated or mostly isolated to him.

2. A sticker? Stickers come and go but I don't recall one being on my device.

3. Who said it was my friend? I said I have talked to him, and he's a good guy. No it was never determined to be software related. It was never confirmed what the issue was.

4. Again, you say you didn't buy it, but yet in point #2 you claimed yours had a sticker. If you didn't buy it then how did "your's" have a sticker?

I had a sticker on the back of my G6 when I bought it.
