T-Mobile's site states "To work in this country you need a device that has frequencies of 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, Band I (2100)." When I look up the specs on the Motorola site it states: GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS),1900, 2100 MHz); CDMA (800, 850, 1900 MHz); 4G LTE† (B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41).
It appears to me that I should have no problems using my (XT1575 - US) phone in Germany when I travel there...? Anyone have any actual experience taking the US version over there?
Thanks in advance!

Hopefully T-Mobile works well in their home country of Germany. It's not so good in Japan, where NTT Docomo and Softbank take turns kicking you off their network like an unwanted guest.

I know to many this is a stupid question but I always buy phones from carriers, never bought an unlocked phone. So...here goes..
Which version is best for Tmobile US LTE and HSPA+?
So, this phone will basically only work on ATT and Tmobile in the US?
Also, if you buy unlocked from Sony and activate on Tmobile and Sony releases an update do you get it directly or have to wait on Tmobile to release it as you would if you got it from Tmobile and not Sony?

C6903 will work for T-Mobile US on HSPA+ and LTE.
C6916 will be T-Mobile US's version.
C6906 works best with AT&T's HSPA+ and LTE.

Hi,
for anyone that is interested THIS wikipedia page lists the majority of carriers worldwide as far as I can tell. Using this information and the information droid102 has posted should answer most questions regarding which phone for which carrier.

I know there comes some other models, under diferent name, but not sure if EU
All infos are welcome here.

Yeah, it will make for an interesting dilemma for me if we ever get the Droid Turbo or Galaxy Note Edge in the UK..
Bands that Turbo support are: Networks and Bands
CDMA/EVDO Rev A (850, 1900MHz)
LTE Cat 4 (bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13)
Carrier Aggregation (B4+13)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100MHz)
2G and 3G should work in Europe, but what about 4G?

You aren't getting the Play or Pure. I heard Ceh'neh'deh' is getting the Moto X Po-tato edition. Comes with free hand warmers and maple syrup.

As a start, sorry for my poor english
Planning a short visit to Usa like 3 days and want to buy a Moto X Pure.
I dont have any chance to buy Moto X Style from Europe.
When i compare them, i see small differences for 3g/4g bands.
Question is, can i use Pure edition globally especially in Turkey?
You need to check what band your carriers use there in Turkey and compare them with what the Pure Edition runs on.
We have 3 carrier here and all i can learn about;
All carriers are using GSM.
For 2g carrier 1 / 2 / 3 : 900Mhz / 900Mhz / 1800Mhz.
For 3g all of them uses 2100Mhz.
4g will be avaible in 3-4 month and its gonna be LTE-A and will be either 800Mhz or 2600Mhz.

Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to try and help me out! I am possibly going to spend about 4 months in Hong Kong, starting with this upcoming January. I am really having trouble figuring out if this phone can be used there. It seems like it has the bands for most of the 3G networks there, but can anyone possibly help me confirm this? I would also love LTE, but I don't think this phone has the proper LTE bands for Hong Kong. I tried contacting T-Mobile (I currently have Verizon but may get T-Mobile there), and they told me to contact a Hong Kong carrier. I found the number 2 carrier there, and sent them emails and Facebook messages, and have not heard back. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Basically, I just want to know if the MXPE supports 3G and/or LTE bands in Hong Kong. If it does, I won't have to buy a phone to use while I am there. Thanks!
P.S. The Hong Kong carrier I am looking at is Hong Kong China Mobile.
Well here are the bands that the US MXPE supports:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 900, 1700 (AWS),1900, 2100 MHz)
CDMA (800, 850, 1900 MHz)
4G LTE† (B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 38, 41)
According to the LTE wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Asia
HKCM uses LTE bands 3, 7, and 40
Looks like bands 3 and 7 are pretty prevalent in HK, so chances are that you'll get LTE (but obviously not 100% guaranteed).
3G wise it looks like they use: UMTS 850, UMTS 900, UMTS 2100 - so you should at least get 3G.

Awesome! It seemed like I was gonna get 3G but I was having trouble making sure that I would get LTE. Mainly because I looked at a Xiaomi Hong Kong phone and it mentioned FDD and I think TDP LTE and I was really confused!
My wife's Nexus 6 got LTE on the local PCCW carrier (now called csl) in Hong Kong earlier this year. So if the Moto X has the same bands for LTE you should be good to go.
As a side note my Nexus 5 did not get LTE but I was still very impressed with the 3G speeds. Wish the US has speeds like that for 3G.

Really appreciate the feedback. I will most likely do either csl or China Mobile Hong Kong, depending on pricing and reception.

Smartone might be worth taking a look at also.
FYI not all prepaid plans have 4G or LTE. csl just started offering it on prepaid within the last year. I don't know what other carriers have LTE on prepaid so you will need to do some research.
I am a local HKer, using CSL and my Moto X Style from the UK can access all the LTE band in HK. We mostly on 1800/2600 Mhz that is Band 3/7. I remember the Pure from the US do support the HK bands. I almost bought the US version to use in HK, but given up because Moto Maker doesn't allow me to proceed without a US credit card.
