I'm seeking confirm about Italian official models SM4421AE7H1 & SM4421AD1H1 to be Dual SIM (even if quite all resellers list them as single SIM...:confused:).
Any owners of these models?

EDIT: received confirm and updated OP! ;)

Oh crap, so there really IS a fggn Nordic version that will get updated months later, again!

I don't understand why, it's the same phone in every way possible, Android has been multi language for years.
:(

Also, my Nordic bought retail Eu calls itself "sheridan" in the bootloader, and the product code next to the charging port is M1B90
I am unable to find the product codes you are listing anywhere in or on my phone, I'm assuming it'll be only on the box.

I'm from Canada and my Moto Z that I've bought with a 2years contract from Bell Mobility is a XT1650-03. Single locked sim and the bootloader was unlockable. I had difficulty to install the rooted rom on it because at first I tried the US Rom and I finally found that I had to install the EU one to get it working. This is not my first phone I root and I always used rom for US and this is the first time I had to use one from EU.

So far everything seem to work perfectly even with this other country rom.

It's not a surprise for me...

Can you post your exact model code and storage size for our database?

Wasnt a surprise for you? Well it was for me, it's the first time I had to get an EU rom for a canadian phone, don't really make sense for me.

Here the Product/Variant information from my bootloader : Sheridan XT1650-03 32GB P3B

Yes but this time is different...

Verizons are the only Moto Z(s) supporting CDMA networks, reduced LTE support and different software with higher frequencies, locked bootloader, etc...

All the other are XT1650-03, support all quite the same LTE bands and have very similar (if not the same...) hardware & software...

Probably for the first time you can buy a Moto Z everywhere and use it elsewhere with no issues at all... ;)

The model number we need should be written on the box near IMEI, not on bootloader screen...

My box side, bought in Sweden and says Nordic on box.
Clearly not identical firmware considering some in the UK are apparently receiving their updates now.

Yes, this is the Nordic dual SIM we already have listed...
OTA updates are released often in weird ways by manufacturers...
Anyway, you can adopt italian, french or spanish softwares on your phone with no issues at all... (remaining in EU countries...).

A bit more attention to UK & German since they are single SIM... (even of reportings are that there should be no issues with them too...) ;)

Added. Your is the first branded/locked version reported Verizon's Droid apart... and in fact it has a different built model number...:rolleyes:

Yea when I saw the built number I knew mine was different. But so far everything is working great from unlocking the bootloader to flashing the rooted EU rom found in this forum.
