In particular, the company plans to replace its Vibe series with Moto smartphones.
Moto G (3rd generation) ,review) AND Moto G (turbo version) ,reviewThe smartphones turned out to be very successful, but we had some complaints about the performance of the cameras in these phones. But Motorola has faced this problem in all its smartphones. smartphone moto g4 plus, moto g4 This is a slightly better specced phone that has better features like camera and software. Today we will review the new Moto G4 Plus smartphone and see how this Moto smartphone is.
Appearance and Design
The familiar Motorola design can be seen in the G4 Plus. While it’s not quite the same as before, it’s definitely recognizable as a Moto product. The rubber back cover with a curved metal frame provides a comfortable grip on your phone. This phone is slightly larger than the previous Moto G smartphone, due to which it has a 5.5-inch Full HD TFT display. The smartphone is very easy to operate even in sunlight and you can see vibrant colors on the display. Corning Gorilla Glass is provided for protection. The G4 Plus is quite thin, measuring 7.9mm in thickness. But the phone doesn’t feel heavy when held in your hand.
The Moto G4 Plus does not have the signature grille that is found on the Moto G smartphone. But this new Moto smartphone has given space to a fingerprint sensor. It doesn’t work like a physical button, but only by touch. The fingerprint sensor can recognize fingerprints from any angle and, barring the occasional misidentification, works very well.
All the phone buttons are located in their proper places so that the user can easily use them. The headphone jack is at the top and the micro-USB port is at the bottom.
Instead of the curved back of the previous Moto G smartphones, this phone has a flat back. The phone has a 16-megapixel camera with dual-tone LED flash and a laser autofocus system, which can be called a good upgrade.
Removing the back panel reveals a 3000mAh non-removable battery. At the end there is a MicroSD card (supports 132 GB) and two slots for micro-SIM. The Moto G4 Plus comes with a nano-to-micro-SIM card adapter. But this phone does not have IP67 (waterproof) certification like the previous variants.
The box with the phone contains a turbo charger (25 W) and a headset. But the charger is not modular, so you will need a separate USB cable to transfer data. The quality of the headset is a bit poor and it didn’t fit well in our ears.
Specifications and Features
The Moto G4 Plus is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor that runs on an octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. use the same processor htc one a9 ,review) was also done in. This phone will have 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage or 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. Connectivity options include 4G LTE (Category 4), Bluetooth 4.11 Low Energy, dual-band Wi-Fi B/G/N, GPS, GLONASS, USB-OTG and FM radio. You will not get NFC feature in this phone.
Like all Moto smartphones, the G4 Plus runs a near-stock version of Android, but this time it’s Android Marshmallow 6.0.1.
The Moto G4 Plus has an LED to the right of the fingerprint sensor, but we found it to work quite well while charging. Apart from this, other motion-based gestures work easily. The phone doesn’t come with many pre-installed apps, but it does have a file manager and standard Google apps.
performance
The Moto G4 Plus is a good performer and there is nothing wrong with it. The user gets 1.2 GB of RAM for use on the phone. We didn’t notice any issues with animations or app switching on this phone. The phone gets warm when playing games or when the GPS receiver is on, but not so hot that it becomes unusable. You may experience problems with the camera app when the phone gets warm, which could also be because the system monitors the processor speed to prevent the phone from overheating. We found the phone’s benchmark scores to be good.
The Gallery app has been replaced by Google’s Photos app, which we don’t like, but it works. Full HD videos can be easily played on your phone. Photos can be edited and videos trimmed in the Photos app. The Play Music app is for music but does not support FLAC files. There are also equalizers for wired headphones and speakers. One speaker for media playback and notifications in the earpiece provides good sound.
One of the biggest features of the G4 Plus is the G4 Plus camera. The 16-megapixel rear camera has an F/2.0 aperture and phase detection autofocus (PDAF). The phone has a laser autofocus system to quickly capture the subject. Touch focus can be used to focus on a subject, and the slider can be used to adjust exposure. Long pressing on an object locks focus, which helps a lot. In addition, slow motion video, panorama and professional mode are available in the camera app. The camera app is very convenient as you can adjust the focus, white balance, shutter speed, ISO and low light exposure.
In daylight, landscape and macro photos come out better than before. The detail is quite good and the camera can take pictures with good color reproduction. We recommend leaving HDR on Auto as it helps make your photos look great. Photos taken indoors look good, but detail and colors appear scattered when zoomed in. Video recording can be carried out with a maximum resolution of 1080 pixels, and photos are good in both daylight and low light. In good lighting, the front camera can take good, detailed selfies. Additionally, the barcode and QR code can be read directly from the camera app itself.
battery life
In the loop video battery test of the Moto G4 Plus, Batru lasted us 12 hours and 4 minutes, which is quite good. In normal use with both SIM cards, we were able to use this Moto smartphone for about a day and a half on a full charge. The phone supports TurboPower or fast charging, which charges the battery quickly.
our decision
The new Moto G series smartphone Moto G4 Plus is a welcome addition that comes with improved performance and features. As per the requirements, the phone is equipped with a processor so Android runs smoothly. A good fingerprint sensor, good camera and excellent battery life make the phone great. The Moto G4 Plus is a very good option in this price range.
The competition is tough, but in our opinion, the Moto G4 Plus has what it takes to take its place. Its distinctive feature is the timely release of Android updates. The G4 Plus could have been better if it offered water and dust resistance like the previous smartphone. At the same time, the camera’s poor low-light performance could be improved.
If you are looking for a phone with great features at a low price, then the Moto G4 Plus is definitely a good option.
