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.

I just found an issue related to fast charging. When I connect to the turbo charger, some misbehavior with the touch functionality happened.

            And yes there are custom roms but it's not everyone's cup of tea unlocking bootloaders and installing custom roms need some level of technical skills and knowledge not everyone can do it most people brick their phones trying to install a custom Rom

              Foxconn is an assembly company not xiaomi or coolpad
              Xiaomi and coolpad have their own R&D, design and manufacture factories and due to excess demand they are even getting their phones assembled by Foxconn

                For all the people who say this phone has overheating problems
                Cmon people this is 2016 every phone heats the higher the cores and hardware the more heat and you can't put fans inside to cool either hence every smartphone is prone to heat in one or the other circumstances
                xiaomi redmi 3 also has heating problem according to many people you can Google it for more info
                For people who want phones that don't heat they should opt for basic Nokia phones or feature phones

                    camera doesn't matter to me is the phone is worse

                              The conclusion said that motorola needs Lenovo distribution network to succeed. I was wondering why Lenovo didnt help in distibuting the moto x style in my region south east asia. I think the X style is a wonderful product but just it didbt get to the consumers over here...

                                Compared to the 1st Gen Moto G, this phone is a huge upgrade. My Moto G (1st Gen) is still decent and build quality is very good. Motorola generally gives good build quality. I'm waiting for the new Moto X (or Z) to upgrades. Hopefully that will have everything powerful enough for the next 3 years.

It runs on Android M and Note 3 runs on Android L with no clear idea when or if will ever get updated to Android M or not...
                                      So how is it better?
                                      At the end of the day what matters is usability IMHO, and not whats inside... Moto X (1st Gen) had a dual core processor when rest all were having Quad core. But it was way beyond other's reach when it came to usability.
                                      I will be interacting with the software, not the hardware.
