While the Chinese model, codenamed XT1662, has cellular compatibility with the nation’s networks, it seems that this XT1664 will work with all of the major US carriers on both the GSM and CDMA sides. PhoneArena has also learned that Lenovo has decided to stick with stock Android for this Moto M, not even Motorola’s light-skinned UI. Google Photos backups also come free for two years at original quality.

Other specs recall of the Moto M we’ve talked about: 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage with microSD capacity up to 128GB, a USB-C port, dual SIM slots, a 16-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel selfie camera, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a 3,050mAh battery.

It’s a very decent phone with an unknown price tag outside of China — the XT1662 launched at the equivalent of $295. But if anyone gets a hold of this phone, we’d love to see if we could pull some proper Project Fi action running on Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular…
