Motorola Moto X4 hands-on review: First impressions

31 August 2017
The Moto X had a reputation of being one of the best Androids you can buy. This beloved line has been resurrected - not as a flagship, but as a premium mid-ranger. Its claim to fame is a dual camera (with a wide-angle lens) and highly advanced audio features. Sound familiar?

Sort by:

i guess people are still buying their stuff due to the brand but this is trash. A Samsung S7 or S7 Edge is cheaper than this.

            Waiting for an X4 Plus with:
            - 5.5" screen (whether IPS or AMOLED as long as it is a great one)
            - 4000 mAh battery (two-day battery life)
            - SD660 (it deserves no less)
            - Dual front stereo speakers (with those bezels, at least make good use of them, the fp scanner be moved to the back)
            - Capacitive buttons (Lenovo Vibe K4 Note could do it, c'mon)
            - Dual SIM with dedicated microSD slot (screw hybrid slot)
            - At least 1/2.3" sensor (12 to 16 MP range) with OIS and aperture wider than F/2.0
            - Base 64 GB internal (UFS type) & 4 GB RAM
            - Retain the IP68

            Heck, can name it X4 Pure Edition, as a true successor to 2015 Moto X Pure Edition.
            Price €499 should be just right

                is touchless control still on board?
                wood back cover as standard on premium car is still the best, front dual speakers Xpure was superb, the rest x4 is perfect.
                motorola engineer is as expected from the oldest chip maker. if apple marketing sell motorola, iphone wont come close

                    The specs are pretty damn awsome, and the front facing 16 mp is unnecessary but hey why the hell not. Then again I would still want the z over the new x purely for ram and res. I currently own an x pure and it's made me a snob about those two features

                        All hopes for this phone are down the drain, its 2017 and screen to body ratio is 68.4%. My 2013 LG G2 with a 5.2 inch screen has 75.9%, 10mm shorter and lighter. Really wanted to use this on Fi, have to pass, now. Lenovo, you must do better.

                          Alexa kills the deal. Thought X was for the pure Android experience? Waited for this POS.

                                  SpiritWolf, 01 Sep 2017Where is mankind going? 'Selfie' cameras having higher reso... moreExactly. Last time I really needed the front camera was when I was using my phone as a mirror when I was trying sunglasses in the supermarket. I don't need 16 megapixels for that. Or for video calls.

                                    Where is mankind going? 'Selfie' cameras having higher resolution than main camera. Back then i always found someone to take picture of me or us. Nowadays it's just lonely phonehuggers, as it seems. Sad, really sad.
