The Moto X (and it's Verizon brethren) are selling pretty well so far, and they are US only at the moment. They also have dual-core CPUs and relatively modest specs by modern standards. No OS magic is required to make this run acceptably, Android does just fine on its own (as it does on my 2 year old Tegra 2 tablet running 4.3). There is a meme floating around that only Samsung makes money on Android, and that only high-end devices are profitable. Neither aspect of this has much evidence behind it.
