Moto G4 review: Lenovated

01 July 2016
The Moto G became the go-to phone for many people that wanted no fuss and guaranteed quality at an affordable quality. Now the line is under new leadership, with new branding and retooled design.

Bought the G4 in US but am traveling to Cambodia soon. Do I need a transformer (220 to 110) in order to charge the phone or will it sense the 220 and accommodate accordingly?

        why doesn't the review mention that it's missing a compass? you did the same thing with the moto x play not saying it misses a gyroscope. i think its very unprofessional cot considering these missing sensors

          It says in the review that you can double tap the screen to wake the phone. Can anyone confirm this? I have a G4 Plus and it doesn't work for me. Is it just me not being able to work my phone?

                While receiving call the screen gets blank, due to which speaker cannot be switch-on. Please give solution.

                      Arjun, 11 Jul 2016Wìch mobile best?moto4g or 4g plusDepends on how important a slightly better camera, more RAM. and a fingerprint sensor are to you. For me, not very much, so I got the G4 and saved some money. If I need really good pictures, I'll use a real camera. All of my intense games I play on my PC. I'm not a phone gamer. As long as I can use my device for web surfing, emails, texts, and calls, I'm good. The extra RAM doesn't mean as much if you don't multitask or do heavy gaming.

                        aem, 02 Jul 2016Can't see any advantages over Moto X Play. Comparable perfo... moreI looked at the Moto X Play. It's harder to get and considerably more expensive than the Moto G4 in the States. Also, for Web Browsing, the battery life between the two are about equal. That's the most important part for me as I don't talk too much on the phone and rarely watch videos. The Moto X Play is also running older Android.

                                    Moto G series has gone boring now from boring design to average camera to average display quality. There are better smartphones these days with better specs and stock software experience. Comeon Lenovo.
