Motorola Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus

Lenovo Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus unveiled with 5.5" 1080p screens

The 5.5" screen has 1080p resolution (with Gorilla Glass 3 protection), a necessary bump in both size and resolution for the G4 to stay competitive. You don't even have to ask, of course, it runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The Moto G4 Plus is a 16MP shooter with hybrid focus (Laser + phase detection) and it records 1080p video. The camera uses an OmniVision PureCell Plus sensor - with 1.3µm pixels and behind an f/2.0 aperture

The chipset went up to Qualcomm's 6-series - a Snapdragon 617 to be precise. It has eight Cortex-A53 cores at 1.5GHz and an Adreno 405 GPU. That's double the CPU cores of the Moto G (3rd gen) and a newer generation GPU.

The top model comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage. There will be more affordable options with 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 16GB or 32GB of storage. And there's a microSD slot, so even the 16GB models can have plenty of storage.

While both the Moto G4 and G4 Plus have 3,000mAh batteries and support fast charging, only the Moto G4 Plus has a Turbo Charger in the box. It can put 6 hours worth of juice in just 15 minutes.

Features

It's a shame that unlike the older Moto G 3rd gen, the Moto G 4 isn't waterproof, but instead uses the same water-repellent nano coating of the Moto X. It takes a micro-SIM but includes an adaptor for a nano-SIM
