[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
MOTOROLA QUARKS: XT1250, XT1254, XT1225

_______________

FCC ID: IHDT56PK1

U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250

U.S. Droid Turbo (Verizon Moto Maxx, just with Verizon Droid exclusive NAME) XT1254

These two devices are the SAME. IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY. Same FCC ID. Same bands, blah, blah, blah. CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE

The Verizon version has Verizon bloatware and the bootloader cannot be unlocked.

The U.S. Moto Maxx is sold by various regional CDMA/LTE carriers. Independent smaller carriers, much like MetroPCS used to be (before being bought by T-mobile). Rural areas, mountainous areas, etc. NOT MVNOs. Most have roaming agreements with Verizon, but own their own spectrum and towers in their markets. The U.S. Moto Maxx is identical to the Droid Turbo. However only the 32GB version has been sighted. One person stuck in a Verizon LTE card and it worked -- just like a non-Verizon Nexus 6. The bootloader can be unlocked, the phone can be rooted. I've receive personal messages from people who have done it.

FCC ID IHDT56PK2

"International" Moto Maxx XT1225 (Latin America: Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Chile)

"International" Moto Turbo XT1225 (India)

(Slight difference in LTE bands from the XT1254/XT1250. Those have LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13 as well as CDMA, GSM, HSPA bands.)

These "international" models have EXACTLY THE SAME HARDWARE SPECS as the U.S. Quarks (XT1250/XT1254) -- EXCEPT no CDMA and LTE band 17 instead of LTE band 13, plus LTE band 5.. They are GSM/HSPA/LTE only . Both XT1225 have the same FCC ID, but is a different FCC ID from the U.S. Quarks (due to no CDMA and slight difference in LTE bands) -- but is otherwise the same phone as the the others listed above. 5.2", 1440p, quad core Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, etc.

I'm running two of them on AT&T. (AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17.)

So, they aren't really "international". :rolleyes: Just like the Droid Turbo was NEVER exclusive to Verizon. (Just the name, not the device. The U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 has the exact same FCC ID as the Droid Turbo, so it's the same device with the same bands -- AND the bootloader can be unlocked. The U.S. XT1250 is basically the "Developer Version" of the XT1254 Droid Turbo.)

The XT1225 ONLY comes in ballistic nylon (which has kevlar underneath) and in 64GB version.

One of my XT1225 phones.

The XT1225 is basically a 5.2" version of the 64GB Moto Nexus 6. ;)

When Motorola launched the India XT1225 in March, they changed the name from "Maxx" to "Turbo" because there's a "Max" or "Maxx" carrier in India, and they didn't want any confusion this phone is linked to that carrier. So, "Moto Turbo".

Moto Turbo LAUNCHED with Lollipop 5.0.2 and the Moto Maxx XT1225 was upgraded from Kitkat at the same time. (The Moto Maxx XT1225 launched in November 2014. I bought my two in November and December from Puerto Rico and Mexico.)

Only the U.S. Quarks still have Kitkat. If Motorola had upgraded the U.S XT1250 Moto Maxx (twin of the Droid Turbo) to Lollipop the same time they did the XT1225 Moto Maxx, I'm sure a bunch of people would have bought them, dumped the Droid Turbo and used them on Verizon.... ;)

I'm also pretty sure until Verizon approves Lollipop on the XT1254, the other Quarks won't get upgraded to 5.1 stock. But luckily all the other Quarks can use 5.1.1 custom ROMs that are out there -- even the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 if they really want to.
