There is an authorized distributor Brightstar that brought in the Moto X 2014, however there is no official news from them on bringing in Moto X Style (Pure Edition).

The other alternative will be parallel importers like DirectD & SatuGadget.

Thinking between this and the soon to be released Nexus 5X. Display and camera should be better with the Moto X while the Nexus should have better software support from Google and developers plus a fingerprint sensor. Tough decision. hmm.gif

price aside, really a NO BRAINER for comparison for two main reasons

1) is SD Card Storage a deal breaker for you ? if so, just choose Moto, cos N5X will not have it ... (the only Nexus device ever to have SD card, is the first ever Nexus phone ... Google hates SD card )

2) is camera very important to you ? from all the tech reports so far Moto X style not too bad ... but i strongly doubt LG N5X will put in their very best camera into a Nexus devices ...

ie the same camera from LG G4 - Laser autofocus, etc ....

my guess, another disappointment from LG Nexus ... BUT there is a sliver lining, that Nexus Phone support RAW FORMAT. (N6 has that)

so if that is vital to you, then you choose N5X over Moto

-----------------------

realistically speaking software wise, i will Moto is on par with Nexus (maybe just a few months) later for updates ... even for their first gen Moto G / E - still go the latest lollipop ... which is very impressive

given that the company still support their old budget phones ... doubt other BIG BRAND OEM will even bother with their 1 yrs plus mid range phones ...

I tried calling before...and they left me on the line for a long time....and that first impression already left me not that satisfied. Haha.

Already I hear horror stories of after sales service dealing with Brightstar not very good.

Which is why there are traders like @SyathibiyMegat who helps to bring in such rare devices to us. :-)

I actually used Shopandbox to get the Moto x 2013 back in the day! Haha So far I dont think I've seen any local resellers listing this phone.. The bands should be the same as Malaysia right?

Marshmallow and S’more

We believe your phone should look and behave like you want it to. That means our approach to software is ‘less is more’, so you can focus on the choices that are right for you. In fact, we’ve made it a priority to avoid bloatware and skins, and focus on identifying and tackling areas where we can enable more meaningful exchanges between you and your phone, such as simple voice controls and notifications that you can interact with even when your phone is asleep.

This philosophy has enabled us to make what we think are the most personal and responsive phones in the world, built on a foundation of pure Android with a few Moto Enhancements to improve (not impede) overall functionality.

The New Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS is Here

We think Android is one of the best phone ingredients out there, and there are some sweet enhancements with Marshmallow that we’re excited about. Here are a few of our favorites:

- Doze Mode -- This new feature monitors your phone and puts it into a deep sleep when it’s not being used, which can extend battery life substantially.
- Now on Tap -- We love Google Now, and it’s improved in Android M. Simply long press the home button to bring up the Google Now feature and display information based on whatever you’re doing at the time.
- Android Pay -- Android M allows you to bring up Android Pay with a simple tap and easily make purchases without having to open a separate app.
- Direct Share -- Share your photos, news, links, etc. with your favorite contacts easily and quickly.
- Simpler volume controls -- A more intuitive way to control ringtone and media volume.


Changes to Moto Enhancements

The release of a new Android version is a great time to take a fresh look at our signature Moto Enhancements to ensure we’re complementing Android (not competing with it). Android 6.0 Marshmallow includes some great new features similar to things we’ve developed in the past. For example, you’ll find an option for ‘Do not disturb’ under the ‘Sound and notification’ settings to make sure you’re not interrupted during meetings or while sleeping. That’s similar to Moto Assist, so we’re removing Moto Assist as part of the upgrade to M.

Android M also enhances support for backing up user data. These improvements duplicate most of what Motorola Migrate provides. Consequently, we’ll retire Motorola Migrate and no longer preload it going forward. We will also retire the Google Chrome extension found in Motorola Connect. Since we created Motorola Connect, several similar services have shown up on Google Play and many consumers have moved from SMS to other over-the-top messaging services. Both of these products were valuable in their time but the world has moved on and they no longer add enough value to justify taking up space in your device. For more information about where to find a few of these common features within Android M or alternative apps other consumers use, check out our support forum.

Upgrades

Now, we know the question that’s on everyone’s minds. Right now we have plans to upgrade the following Motorola devices1. Things may change, so please refer to our software upgrade page for the latest, and specifics by country:

- 2015 Moto X Pure Edition (3rd gen)
- 2015 Moto X Style (3rd gen)
- 2015 Moto X Play
- 2015 Moto G (3rd gen)
- 2014 Moto X Pure Edition in the US (2nd gen)
- 2014 Moto X in Latin America, Europe and Asia2 (2nd gen)
- 2014 Moto G and Moto G with 4G LTE2 (2nd gen)
- DROID Turbo
- 2014 Moto MAXX
- 2014 Moto Turbo
- Nexus 6


As for timing, we have high standards, so we’ll work fast but we won’t push the upgrades out until we know they’re ready. Look for more news on timing in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned for more details on upgrades for specific devices.

Review: Motorola Shines with Complementary Moto X and Moto 360 Duo

QUOTE
The 5.5-inch 16GB iPhone 6S Plus sells unlocked for $749 through Apple. The 5.7-inch Moto X Pure I tried would set you back $449, while the Moto 360 was $300. So for exactly the same amount of money you would you spend on just the iPhone 6S Plus, you can get an equally capable Android phone and stylish smartwatch. That, my friends, is an argument I have never made prior to this writing. I’ve always gone on about how superior Apple’s design is to the competition. But times they are a changing. The makers of Android hardware are catching up and they’ll actually allow you to customize your phone, chartreuse back plate and all (I’m sure Jonny Ive would scoff at my choices). Now the question is whether those Android OEMs can make a profit to stay afloat.

Did any of you get the Moto X Play from Expansys.my? Any idea how much the extra charges for bringing into Malaysia?

From what I understand, free shipping and no extra charges if kastam do not kacau. If kastam kacau then 100 for SIRIM + Gst.

To be fair I don't think it's not really worth it as equivalent Spec xperia m4 is only less than 900 ori unit.

Tips & Tricks for the Moto X Pure Edition (2015). Pretty much similar to the experience on the Moto X 2014.
