Moto G4 Plus review: Tuned up

The original Moto G is one of those legendary devices that has earned itself a well-deserved iconic status. It single-handedly put Motorola on the map in many countries and established its reputation as a go-to brand for reliable, well-built and...

Moto G4 and G4 Plus review: Bigger and (mostly) better

The Moto G4 Plus finally brings a great camera into Motorola's budget lineup. It's decently fast for the price, though the build quality might not last years of use.

Inexpensive ; Large, vibrant screen ; Solid performance for the price

Camera suffers severely in low light ; Plastic build might not be durable ; Not waterproof like last year

Motorola's big problem with these new phones is that the last Moto G was simply too good. In pushing for larger screens and other upgrades, it also introduced some compromises. Ultimately though, the good outweighs the bad. The Moto G4 and G4 Plus...

Motorola Moto G4 Plus

The Moto G4 Plus is an affordable midrange smartphone that gives you solid hardware, a crisp 1080p display, and broad carrier compatibility, but the competition is fierce.

Relatively affordable. Crisp 1080p display. Solid battery life. Fingerprint sensor. Dual-band Wi-Fi. Expandable storage. Latest software and no bloatware. LTE bands for all carriers.

Can't handle high-end games. Fingerprint sensor doesn't function as Home button. Non-removable battery.

Software and Conclusions The phone runs stock Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow . There are no real UI changes to speak of aside from the addition of Motorola ID in the settings menu, which links you to your Motorola account. Even better, there's no bloatware,...

Moto G4 Plus review: one step forward, multiple steps back

I'm angry right now. Angry that it's 2016 and Android smartphone performance can still be awful. Furious that we're approaching the 10th anniversary of the iPhone and Apple's competitors still...

Very attractive display ; Strong, rigid, hard-wearing construction ; Close to perfectly stock Android

Performance is sluggish to the point of being offensive ; Fingerprint sensor is not a home button (and is a little slow) ; Mediocre camera isn’t helped by wimpy processor

Motorola Moto G4 Plus review: A stellar low-cost phone

The Moto G4 Plus adds a fingerprint scanner and a better camera to the already-excellent Moto G4. But is it a better buy?

In addition to retaining its sibling's water-resistant body and full HD screen, the Moto G4 Plus adds a fingerprint sensor, slightly better camera, and you can select more storage and memory.

That fingerprint scanner confusingly looks like a home button, and the lack of NFC means you can't use the phone for contactless payments.

The Moto G4 Plus adds a fingerprint sensor and slightly better camera to the mix, but its cheaper sibling is still the better deal.

Motorola Moto G4 Plus (64GB, white)

Both phones offer a bevy of solid features, including 5.5-inch full HD screens, capable octa-core processors and decent 3,000mAh batteries, including some notable niceties -- expandable storage and water-resistant bodies -- not found on current iPhone...

The Motorola Moto G4 and G4 Plus Review

At this point in time, I don't think the Moto G line needs any introduction. With the original Moto G in 2013 Motorola really went beyond what was thought to be possible in a mid-range smartphone. At that point in time, buying a $200 smartphone usually...

Ultimately, I don't think the Moto G4 is a bad smartphone, but the Huawei Honor 5X provides an equally good experience and has been widely available since the start of the year. The Moto G4 has just arrived too late to be relevant. As we move toward...

Lenovo Moto G4 Plus Smartphone Review

Plus = better? The Moto G4 Plus is basically the regular Moto G4, but with a better camera, quick charging and fingerprint scanner. Should you get the slightly more expensive model?

very bright display ; accurate colors on the display ; sharp camera pictures ; grippy case ; customizability ; long battery runtime ; good performance with apps and games ; Android 6.0.1

fingerprint scanner only has one function ; GPS module sometimes inaccurate ; mediocre microphone quality ; battery not replaceable

The 32 GB version of the Moto G4 Plus is currently 15 Euros (~$17) more expensive than the Moto G4 in the MotoMaker. In return, you get a very good camera, a fingerprint scanner, and the quick-charge feature in particular, which is really convenient...

Moto G4 Plus review: An affordable 5.5″ budget smartphone

Motorola has another budget smartphone winner on their hands, with great battery life, a 5.5″ screen, and decent camera.

Decent performance, great battery, decent camera. Responsive fingerprint scanner

USB-C would have been nice instead of Micro-USB. Pricing is a bit high in Canada

If you're looking for a close to stock Android smartphone with great battery life, a decent camera, and a larger screen, the Moto G4 Plus should be on your consideration list.
