Moto G4 Plus hands-on: First look

02 June, 2016
Motorola deserves credit for turning the budget Android phone market on its head back with the original Moto G. But since then a lot has happened and many new overeager disrupters have joined the game.

Hi, there it was said that MOTOG4 Plus has Quick Charge 3.0 and even its chipset supports it. Then why you said in review it supports only QC2.0.

      Hey guys, I want to know that whether Motorola is going to launch a phone with 64 GB internal memory and 4GB RAM inthe near future in moto G4 series. Please let me know if you have any further information in this context. Thank you.

        joe, 04 Jun 2016The phone's frame is metal like Moto X Pure or metal alike ... moreWell bruh they said metal, it means metal.

          ithehappy, 04 Jun 2016OK, let me sink in my laugh for a moment, you just wrote th... moreYou're a joke man your are comparing companies like YU and MM with Xiaomi....
          Xiaomi is one of the top 5 smartphone Manufacturer in the world no-one calls them assemblers
          And what kind of design and R&D do Yu and Micromax have they just get phones from China and paste their name on it do you need anything for doing this
          You are comparing Xiaomi the top 5th Manufacturers in the world and Coolpad the largest manufacturer and third party contactor for making phones in China with useless rebranders either you are devoid of technical knowledge or you are deluded

            Merwyn Fernandes, 04 Jun 2016Xiaomi has the R&D and design you dummy and Foxconn man... moreOK, let me sink in my laugh for a moment, you just wrote that Yu, MM all those other garbage are "assemblers", but Xioami isn't! So MM, Yu those don't have any "R&D" and "design" team, sectors which you label as "manufacturing" anyway, but Xioami has them, classic.

            This world is never short of irony.

                Gsmarena please give the complete review, it is futile to write hands on review when people were expecting the complete review. It seems from users experience, moto g4 plus has a issue of heat problem, which is due to wrong SOC at work. They should have used snapdragon 652 which has better heat management and battery saving features. Users will never mind some extra $18 to $20 and it will sell lenovo more phones and help lift the brand reputation.

                  Its a phone that is aimed to offer flagship grade carema performance with a balanced overall performance at a lower price. It got a score of 84 in dxo labs i.e equal to the camera performance of 6s plus. Yes it had beaten the iPhone 6s and mached with its upper sibling

                    So, how does it perform *as a phone*? Call quality, signal strength, call drops? Also, although it can easily be looked up on the FCC website, seeing the radiation emission of phones reviewed would be nice. Great review, though!

                      ithehappy, 04 Jun 2016LOL! Really? R&D? I knew that is the only answer you du... moreMr ihappy you have a serious English problem you call xiaomi and coolpad Assemblers whereas in reality it's Foxconn that assembles phones for xiaomi, coolpad, meizu, Apple etc so how do theses companies become Assemblers are you Santa Banta

                        ithehappy, 04 Jun 2016LOL! Really? R&D? I knew that is the only answer you du... moreXiaomi has the R&D and design you dummy and Foxconn manufactures for them if you don't know even Samsung and LG have third party contractors to manufacture their stuff they don't do everything your knowledge of assembly and manufacture Is way off I guess you were sleeping in your English classes
                        Assemblers are basically companies like Blu, Micromax, yu etc etc who basically take phones from Chinese companies and paste their name they don't have R&D and design
                        And yes xiaomi manufactures everything from aitpurifiers to lamps to drones etc etc they also have their own factories due to the lack of space and employees they have to lease some of their goods to third parties which is cheaper and cost effective
                        So do you mean that Apple are Assemblers what have they manufactured till today they get all their stuff from Foxconn

                          Reason for putting quick charging into moto g series is because.. it's battery drains very fast.

                            Everything is positive except the SoC makes it a no buy. I would've paid the $20 difference or so for the Snapdragon 652.

                              Merwyn Fernandes, 03 Jun 2016Are you serious do you even know the difference between ass... moreLOL! Really? R&D? I knew that is the only answer you dull headed people could come up with, I was obviously talking about actual manufacturing, not some vague stuffs! Of course all companies use Sony sensors and blah blah, but Samsung, LG they all have their own manufactured products, name one thing which Xiaomi has manufactured, ONE.

                              If you can't do shut up.

                                Bob, 03 Jun 2016You should read a dictionary.Yes, certainly, I have a "manufacturing" business, so you do a reading of actual human brains.

                                  Considering its price there is no phone better than this one and one thing more you are getting a *Moto* in this price .. Lenovo will bring good days of moto
                                  Hopes are high!
                                  And xiaomi user interface is the worst and laggy
                                  Moto is Legend when it comes to usage because of the stock

                                      Sigh, anything to badmouth a company. It's not an issue. You need to plug your adapter in a 3-pin socket with earthing wire. As soon as you earth the adapter you will face no such issues.
