Moto G4 Plus release date, news and rumors: Worthy upgrade from G3?
Moto G remains one of the most consistent performers in the India market, despite whatever has happened to the Moto brand.
According to Moto, India is their second biggest market for the series after Brazil. Moto G has always been the smartphone that offered strong performance, decent specs, all at a reasonable price. Now, with Moto G4 Plus, the company is bumping up the specs; offering 3GB RAM and 32GB storage version, along with a better 16 mp camera. While the lower-end Moto G4 is not yet out in India ( a 13 mp camera and no fingerprint scanner) the higher-end Moto G4 Plus is available on Amazon
Starting at Rs 13,499, Moto G4 Plus launches at a time when this price band is growing fast, and competition is getting tougher. Phones like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Le 1s Eco are all slightly cheaper than the new Moto G4 Plus, offer better looks and great performance. So, can the Moto G4 Plus still be the mid-budget phone that sets the bar? Here's our review Specs: 5.5-inch Full HD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 | Snapdragon 617 1.5 GHz octa-core processor | 3GB RAM + 32GB | 3,000mAh | 16MP rear camera + 5MP front camera | Android 6.0
The most noticeable change with the new Moto G4 Plus is the design. Moto G4 Plus has a much slimmer form factor, compared to last year's G3, with a silver metal frame on the side with rounded edges. The plastic back still has a textured pattern on it, but it feels different from the Moto G3 and subtler. The square fingerprint scanner replaces the speaker grill seen at the bottom of the Moto G3.
While the white coloured Moto G4 Plus we got picked up some smudges, none of it was permanent. And so far it remains pristine looking. The back is removable (battery is not), and the Moto G4 Plus supports dual SIM and a microSD slot. You can insert both nano and micro-SIM in the slots as Moto has added special SIM trays inside.
