Moto E4 Android smartphone review

For $130 unlocked, you won't find a better deal on a smartphone with the latest version of Android.

Just how good can a $130 phone be?

The Motorola Moto E4 gives you the best features of any super-budget phone.

The Moto E4 has a near stock version of Android Nougat, a fingerprint reader, a removeable battery, a selfie flash and is splash resistant -- all while being ridiculously cheap.

The display is hard to see in sunlight and the camera is slow to process photos.

The Moto E4 is the cheapest Motorola phone but doesn't compromise too much on its amenities.

Motorola Moto E4

The Android-powered Motorola Moto E4 offers smooth performance and lots of features for a bargain price.

Highly affordable. Current software. Fingerprint sensor, dual-band Wi-Fi, removable battery, and expandable storage. Smooth performance.

Mediocre camera. Limited internal storage.

For $130 unlocked (and $70 on Verizon), the Motorola Moto E4 is solid phone for a reasonable price. The Blu R1 HD will cost you a bit less, but it's not quite as fast and runs an old version of Android, not to mention it doesn't have dual-band Wi-Fi or...

Motorola Moto E4 Smartphone Review

Removable. In this case we mean it in a positive way, since the battery can be removed in the Moto E4. The smartphone is also quite affordable and offers a fingerprint sensor. You can find out in the test whether the competition needs to brace for this.

removable battery ; dedicated microSD slot ; not sensitive to pressure ; quite a lot of LTE bands ; fingerprint sensor ; pure Android ; bright display, good contrast ; hardly warms up ; decent voice quality

cover is very tight ; back cover bends easily ; outdated security patches ; slow WLAN ; quite inaccurate GPS ; camera images blurry in parts ; high power consumption

The Moto E4 is an affordable smartphone that offers some highlights, such as a fingerprint sensor, pure Android, and removable battery. If you don't consider the camera the most important feature in a smartphone or depend on exact navigation, then you...

Moto E4 Review: Verizon’s best cheap phone

This week the Motorola-made Moto E4 for Verizon is on our review desk, and things are looking up. This device is one of the lowest-cost Motorola smartphones ever made, made to take the place of the Moto G as king of the budget smartphones. Where the...

Low cost ; Fingerprint scanner ; High quality build ; Fairly decent camera (for the cost) ; Latest version of Android

Display is 720p ; Unlikely there'll be 3rd-party cases ; No NFC

*This is the sort of smartphone that a person gets when they’ve never used a smartphone before. Or if they’ve only used a Windows Phone device before – or an iPhone 4 or older. If a person has a smartphone they’ve used for the past 6 years and they...

Motorola Moto E4 Review

This year, we see the return of a low-cost performer – now in its 4th generation – dubbed the Moto E4. The question is: has the company done enough with the E series to move the brand along while also executing on its own standard of entry-level value?

Very competitive pricing ; Solid build quality ; Excellent fingerprint sensor adds value ; Capable internals handle multi-tasking needs with only occasional hiccups

Camera is unpredictable and generally produces noisy images ; Display lacks detail, sometimes shows a bluish tint

Moto E4 Review: Decent Budget Phone Has One Huge Flaw

If you have more money to play with, the $230 Moto G5 Plus has a better camera and longer battery life with a more impressive display. (And Amazon Prime members can get that phone for less than $200 if they don't mind ads popping up on their...

Very cheap ; Ships with latest version of Android ; Fingerprint sensor ; Available unlocked on all major carriers

Outdoor photos not the greatest ; Runs hot when playing games ; Poor battery life

The Moto E4 is a budget phone that lets you enjoy Android Nougat on the cheap, but there are some serious trade-offs.

Review: Motorola Moto E4 for Verizon Wireless

Motorola's entry-level Android handset, the Moto E4, may be small in stature, but it's big on performance. The E4 is an affordable phone that includes a fingerprint reader, a 5-inch screen, and a capable camera. If you're in the market for an everyday...

The Moto E4 is not the most exciting handset in the world, but it does everything well. The hardware is inexpensive without being "cheap"; the screen is bright and colorful; battery life is solid; and data/voice performance was quite good. Some people...
