Motorola Moto E4 Plus / Motorola Moto E Plus (4th Gen.)

Long battery life. Sturdy build. Compatible with all US carriers. Recent Android software.

Occasionally slow performance. Low-light images could be better. Screen resolution isn't the sharpest.

The Moto E4 Plus is our low-end battery champ, beating beefy competitors like the LG X Power on endurance. But the added cost of the big battery puts the E4 Plus in a slightly awkward place. At $180 unlocked (or even at $130 on a carrier), it comes...

good battery runtime ; pure Android ; good handling ; quick-charge function ; color-accurate display ; very stable case ; hardly any heat development

Long battery life ; Mostly stock Android experience ; Pleasant design, sturdy build ; Quick and accurate fingerprint scanner

Gets slow at times ; Poor camera ; Low display resolution

Amazing battery life ; Fingerprint sensor is reliable

Slow performance ; Camera's are just OK ; Fairly thick

Battery ; 5000mAh. Need I say more? Two full days of fairly intensive use was doable with the E4 Plus, and I could never kill it in a single day alone. ; Display ; While not the best at off-angles, this is a reasonably good, if slightly low-res (720p)...

Kinda slow ; There's no way around it. Performance is serviceable for something costing $180, but the E4 Plus is not a fast phone - it's easy to get it to choke up when you start multitasking. It's generally respectable, though. ; microUSB ; I get why...

The Moto E4 gets dangerously close to being the perfect combination of budget phone give and take. Sure, it's slow, but the battery lasts forever. Yes, the display resolution isn't great, but it's a big screen, and I think most people tend to prefer...
