The editors liked
The tweaked design of the Moto G4 may not be that of a premium handset
But it's a big step in the right direction. Last year's Moto felt bulky
And Motorola has managed to slim the design down while keeping it simple and stylish
Screen-wise the Moto G4
Good performance
MicroSD slot
DualSim
Good screen
Optional fingerprint sensor
Decent cameras
Pure Android
The Moto G4's big
Bold screen and junk-free software make it a pleasure to use throughout the day. Its ability to survive a dunking will appeal to the clumsy among us
Nice screen
Plucky performance
Clean UI
Cheap as chips
Large
Colorful display
Low price
Solid specs
Better and bolder design than before
Just about maintains budget price point
MicroSD expansion
Solid battery life (and fast-charge potential)
Might be mid-spec but can handle most apps
Great value
Lots of power
Strong screen
Fully customisable form factor
Great screen
Good camera
Lengthy battery life
Bright
High quality screen
Fast and responsive
Clean Android
Big
Beautiful screen
No bloatware
Quality camera
Solid battery life
The editors didn't like
There are a few issues with the Moto G4
Although it's hard to make too much of them when you take the price of this phone into account
It's disappointing that the Moto Maker scheme hasn't been extended this time around. I'd like to have seen the option
Only a day's battery
No longer a smaller phone
No longer that cheap
No NFC
Processor performance is great for everyday tasks
But gamers will want to shop elsewhere
Basic camera
No fingerprint scanner
No IPX7 certification
G4 Plus is a better bet
Non
Removable battery
No Android Pay
Bigger new design won't be for all
G4 Plus partly undermines this standard model
Mid-spec chipset and 2GB RAM slow to load some apps

Abstract: All images: Alex Cranz/Gizmodo I get that a lot of you like thick plastic brick phones like last year's Moto G . As long as they're cheap and decently fast, you can forgive their girth and painfully inexpensive finishings. Good for yo...

Abstract: Certainly one of the fastest growing segments of the consumer electronics market are smartphone. This is due to the fact that they have long since moved from the category of simple “dialers” in universal solutions for business and pleasure. Judge for your...

Solid, no-fuss design and build quality, Really nice screen, Generally, performance is good, Cheap way to get a fingerprint reader, Wide range of configuration options, Decent if not amazing cameras for the price, particularly in the G4 Plus
Appears to break Google's rules about on-by-default storage encryption, High-resolution screen combined with weak GPU means that some games are jerky, Much larger than past Moto Gs, Multiple configs may be confusing for some buyers, Not as waterproof as t
CameraThe Moto G4 uses a 13MP rear camera, and the G4 Plus uses a 16MP rear camera, the biggest point of differentiation between the two phones aside from the fingerprint sensor. Cameras in general and low-light performance in particular have never been s...
Attractive price tag, Bright display, Above-average battery life, Good overall performance for a budget phone
Previous versions offered stronger water resistance, Struggles with multitasking, Camera can't handle low lighting
If you wanted more bang for your 200 bucks, the fourth-generation Moto G certainly delivers an impressive display and solid performance for a low-cost phone. But budget-minded shoppers who also want a phone that can double as a camera may want to pony up...
Abstract: The Moto G4 is Motorola's fourth-generation of the Moto G lineup, which has always been a somewhat low-cost smartphone, but with an amazing value. The Moto G4 continues that tradition, even under Lenovo's ownership, which was a pretty big question mark in...

Design Grippy back with a dimple. Removable covers and Moto Maker customizations are appreciated too, Performance Handles general smartphone tasks without issue, Battery life Well over a day of usage, almost two days with lighter usage, Display A great 5.
Design again The Moto G4 is not fully waterresistant like last year's model. It's also a little more bland with the flat back. The larger screen might turn some buyers off as well
The Moto G4 continues to offer an excellent value at $200. The specs have gotten a nice bump this year with the Snapdragon 617 (up from a 410) and 2GB of RAM in the base model (1GB last year). It's not the fastest phone, and the camera isn't the greatest...
Abstract: A year ago, I would have enthusiastically endorsed you bringing home a third-generation Moto G if you wanted the best budget Android device. But after a few days with its successors, the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus, I'm now preparing for the beginning of the...
Relatively affordable, LTE bands for all carriers, Crisp 1080p display, Solid battery life, Dual-band Wi-Fi, Expandable storage, Latest software and no bloatware
Non-removable battery, Can't handle high-end games
Motorola's Moto G4 is a relatively affordable midrange phone with a mix of capable hardware and broad support for all major carriers. It's a good option for budget buyers...
Great value for a midrange phablet, Quality, affordable upgrades over the base model, Battery life sufficient to get through a heavy day, Really well done crosscarrier support
Bestequipped G4 Plus faces tough competition from, Snapdragon 617 struggles under load, Neither camera option manages to blow us away, Large, light phone risks feeling a little cheap
Moto G4 (left) and Moto G4 Plus (right)Both the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are some well-done mid-rangers, marrying performance that should be adequate for casual users with some very attractive pricing.But a lot of companies give us well-executed phones; a...
