Look and feel
Motorola’s iconic smartphone design continues to live on in the G4 Plus. Although not as distinct as before, it’s certainly identifiable as a Moto product. The rounded metal frame coupled with the rubber back cover offers good ergonomics and grip. The phone is a fair bit larger than its predecessors, thanks to the 5.5-inch full-HD TFT display. Sunlight legibility is very good and the display manages to produce punchy colours and good black levels. Gorilla Glass 3 is also present for added protection. The G4 Plus is fairly slim at 7.9mm and has good weight distribution so it doesn’t feel heavy when you hold it.
Specifications and features
In terms of power, the Moto G4 Plus uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 617 SoC, which is an octa-core chip running at 1.5GHz. This is the same SoC that was used in the HTC One A9(Review). You also get 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. The phone will also be available with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage at a lower price. Other specifications include 4G LTE(Category 4), Bluetooth 4.1 Low Energy, dual-band Wi-Fi b/g/n, GPS, GLONASS, USB-OTG, and FM radio. NFC is not present.
And all the moto phones have near stock android version and this one runs on Marshmallow 6.0.1 and Motorola assure you to get fist and regular updates from Google.
Final Verdict
Should you Buy it or Not
The competition is tough, but in our opinion, the Moto G4 Plus has enough merit to stand on its own feet - the biggest one being timely Android updates. It would be more better if it is dust and water proof than it would be stand out of its category.
I would say you ask yourself if you want a phone that has brand value and willing to spend 15k than go for it. and if you are little tight on budget than go for the Mi Redmi Note 3 which is faster than this one on speed test and also good value for money.
