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
- Unknown
- 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.'

Notes
Sideloading is allowed for everything except browsers and social media, which are blocked at system level. This is a revived brand shipping its first phone, and Commodore's own footnote says the device has not cleared FCC authorization, so no pre-order can ship until it does.
