Those launch prices are down from list prices of $449 to $499 for the eco builds and $499 to $549 for the new-memory ones.

A three-year extended warranty is $49 and worldwide shipping is free at launch for a limited time. Charged in USD, in full, at pre-order.

Connectivity
- Network
- 2G / 3G / 4G4G LTE is the ceiling. Commodore says it supports up to 4G VoLTE plus Wi-Fi and left 5G out deliberately, for battery life, a smaller body, better indoor signal and less temptation to stream. Legacy GSM and WCDMA radios are in the published band table.
- VoLTE
- Yes
- SIM
- Dual SIM + microSDPhysical dual SIM only. Commodore states it does not use eSIM, though it works with 5G-era SIM cards. A separate microSD slot takes up to 256GB and a 32GB card is in the box.
- Wi-Fi hotspot
- Yes
- Bands
- GSM B1/2/5/8 | WCDMA B1/2/5/8 | LTE-FDD B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/20/25/26/28AB/66/71 | LTE-TDD B38/40/41. Commodore notes Band 14 (first responders) is not supported.
- Carriers
- Unlocked, physical SIM only. Commodore's own caveat: it supports all major LTE bands worldwide but 'carrier support can vary by region, plan, whitelist, and VoLTE provisioning.'
