It is tempting

It is tempting

I'm planning on it, but not until next March, or so. I have to get my tax refund back. I skipped the 2nd gen and the Moto G 4G.

The first thing you should check is the Frequency Bands used in your country and by your Carrier / Network:

It seems that XT1550 should work almost without problems in Europe. There is lack of support for B20 band, but everything else is same as in EU version.

Yes, I was going to say there probably would be no problems with XT1550. Maybe Amazon.es has Asian / Indian phone importers?

XT1544: Dual-SIM with Digital TV (HDTV) (Retail Brazil | Latin America)

What does Digital TV mean? Streaming over internet ?

Not IPTV. The mentioned HDTV is similar to a conventional free over-the-air analog broadcast, but it's got a signal that translates to digital data.

can you upload CPU-Z results of 2GB version?

 

[lost101]

can you upload CPU-Z results of 2GB version?

Unfortunately I don't have access to a 2GB handset. You could start a new thread in 'General' called something like: Performance comparison - 1GB vs 2GB

Remember questions are not allowed in General, but a thread showing the difference between models would be tolerated. Don't ask a question in thread title or first post. You could simply state: Please post CPU-Z results here.

Hi, I think I'm going to buy this device but I have some compatibility questions: Will 1Gb ram model roms work on 2Gb one? And will the 1Gb ram models use all the capabilities of the 2Gb ram model?

As far as I know, there is no difference between the 1GB version and 2GB version other than the amount of RAM and Internal Storage. I expect the ROMs to be exactly the same, and inter-changeable. For example; a ROM compatible with XT1540 will work on either version - with the same features / options.

The 2GB Version Moto G is exclusive to Moto Maker in many countries.
