Motorola India has launched the two smartphones in its Moto “G” series, the Moto G4, and the Moto G4 Plus. These two phones were well rumored, and there were quite a few leaks already, and most of them got it right. The phones come with a micro-textured back and a curvy edge.
The “Moto by Lenovo” tag will begin from here, and the box package will carry the Lenovo name on it, as the company focuses on the Moto G series having two devices with not huge differences, but notable ones.

Motorola Moto G4
The Moto G4 comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display with 403 PPI and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and nano-coating is included as well. Internally, there is Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor with Adreno 405 GPU. Along with that is 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The phone comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera with a F/2.2 aperture and color balancing dual LED flash, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with an 84-degree wide-angle lens.
It has a 3000 mAh battery and has support for the TurboPower fast charging technology. There is support for 4G LTE with VoLTE support, and it is Dual SIM with dual standby on both, 4G and 3G networks. The Moto G4 will run on Android Marshmallow with Moto Pure software and the Motorola apps.
Moto G4 Plus
The Motorola Moto G4 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, which has been there on several competitor phones now, and this interestingly adds to the competition. Internally, the phone comes packed with an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor at 1.5GHz and variants having 2GB / 3GB RAM and 16GB / 32GB internal storage respectively.
As leaked earlier in a couple of pictures, there is a square button on the front, which acts as the home button and it houses a fingerprint scanner for the security. The G4 Plus is the first device from Motorola to come with a fingerprint sensor.
The camera combination looks great, as Motorola pumps it up to a 16-megapixel rear camera with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The rear camera has a support of Laser autofocus, as well as the Phase detection autofocus. It is the Omnivision Purecel Plus sensor on the back, with 1.34-micron size and F/2.0 lens to absorb more light. There is a professional mode included in the camera app, alongside the HDR mode and Panorama.
It is a 3000 mAh battery packed into the device, and it has the TurboPower technology for quick charging. With regards to the design, it seems like a soft-rubber back with a Moto dimple just below the camera module that has a metallic ring around itself.
The device runs Android Marshmallow OS, with the UI being close to stock and there are some Motorola-owned apps to enhance the user experience as always. There is support for 4G LTE connectivity, and the other standard connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
Price and availability of the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus
- Moto G4 Plus: 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage: Rs. 13499
- Moto G4 Plus: 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage: Rs. 14999
The price and availability of Moto G4 are not yet announced. The Moto G Plus will be available from 12:00 a.m. 18th May, and the color options are Black and White.
Also, to note, the Moto G4 Plus box package will have a TurboPower 25 charger for the quick charging and it is a fixed USB cable with the charger, so you might have to use another USB cable if you want to connect the device to the computer.
I think both of the devices have 401 ppi display.
Hey! Will the finger-print scanner
act like a home button?
Yes it will.
