Moto X Play: Australia

[Teejai80]

According to this thread Moto X Style, Moto X Play, Moto G 2015: Australian Price, Release | Gizmodo Australia

The play is only going to be released by Vodafail......... oh sorry Vodafone and to begin with only on a contract. Has anyone seen any other release details or prices?

If not I might look at a grey import. Opinions and thoughts on this? Never imported one myself.

The price of the Play in Australia is about the same as it costs in the UK, using a currency converter.

True, it's not too bad, I was thinking it would be a little lower.

oh and just to add to the info on that link. I have read the Vodafone will not be offering the dual-sim option.

I can't post links but someone in another forum posted a link to a vodafone catalogue that shows moto x play outright price $528

Not bad considering RRP was meant to be $569 from memory

I thought I saved money buying mine from Clove, $538, but could of got it cheaper direct from Vodafone

*edit just noticed I also got an international transaction fee taken out of my account $16.15. This is what it costs when your too impatient to wait

 

[Teejai80]

That's a pretty good price. Might drop into a store and question them about it.

I guess this means we probably won't get moto maker though.

No moto maker but I plan on searching on ebay for different coloured backs

Well I just asked in my local store. They knew about the moto coming and said it should be very soon. However, couldn't say when.

Three days out and still nothing I can find on the Vodafone website. I was kind of expecting a pre order or at least some information.

When does kogan generally start stocking new phones?

It is looking stronger that the Moto X style and Play will launch in Australia tomorrow. Only with vodafone and if this link is right the Play will only be 16gb

Confirmed: Vodafone's pricing for Motorola Moto X Play and Moto X Style, on sale tomorrow - Ausdroid

Lucky for expandable storage

 

[Teejai80]

True, but 16gb isn't very much.

Ok just got back. I was told it is contract only. No outright. You can apparently go on a month to month contract and drop in a month. Phone costs $528 plus $30 for the month
