I have purchased the Moto x4 in Dec-17 but now I am facing charging issue since last 2 Weeks, I have visited to customer care center and it has been advised that there is an issue with phone they have did some software update but still no progress now again I have given phone to customer care center.
I am totally unsatisfied with the phone and quality.

AnonD-659932, 07 Dec 2017The moto x4 is a HUGE disappointment imo.
No Amoled - or a... moreI also thought like that earlier. As an old user of X series but honestly it is not as bad as it looks in pics and reviews. I accept all the points you said but out of them only bezels one is the one on which they could have worked. Ois they cant put at this price. 2 cameras are less expensive as compared to one with ois. So they gave one with wide angle. It is not that bad if you know how to play with it. And it is better than g5s plus in many ways. As i have already mentioned in another comment below. Glass back surely is fragile but seriously looks and feels way more premium than its competitors at same price. Plus performance of sd630 is more or less similar to sd801 which was working fine for me even in 2017, plus sd630 is very battery efficient. So as such no complaints with performance. Saw a few stutters here and there specially in games but as such not really a big issue. Overall it works smooth. Performs well. Updates are there on time... and camera was laggy but i installed google hdr plus which is much better than the stock app.
Lastly screen- I also thought that X2nd gen (awesome device btw) had AMOLED and 800 series processor. While buying X4 i thought i am downgrading down to ips display and sd600 series, but dont take this phone on its paper value. It has a very vibrant screen, the fact that i liked is you wont be able to tell that its not AMOLED. Also gives it a benefit that whites are also good. Because with older AMOLED blacks were awesome but whites were not that great. Here it is better balanced overall but.....
only disappointment till now i felt was in active display.. when it used to pop up notifications in earlier version only that much part of AMOLED display would show up but here whole screen lights up which makes me feel that it is constantly losing more energy even though the battery is lasting more but still the psychological effect on user is not good.
Rest is all good. and definitely an AWesome voice assistant. 3 dedicated mics work flawlessly when you are alone in the room. Just say ok google from anywhere in the room and it responds right back. No doubt its the best in this category. s8 , i phone x or any other phone (except for older moto x series) cant even come close the way it listens to your voice and executes commands from a distance of 2-3 meters without having any need to unlock the screen. Just superb. No Match.

Ravi, 17 Dec 2017Does moto x4 contains compass sensor??? I m not sure. I m j... moreyes it has... also phone is better than g5s plus in a number of ways.
1) You can use dual lenses separately for different kind of shots.
2) updates are faster. already updated to oreo last month.
3) water resistant IP68.
4) all time voice listening capabilities with 3 dedicated mics.
5) build quality is superb.
6) supports google hdr plus camera which is way superior to stock camera app. (front cam is also good if that matters for some selfie lovers)

I am writing this review after using the phone for 3 months. Specifications and everything is great camera is little slow which is okay. The main thing is if you talk more than 20 min in phone your head starts to hurt and your ears too. After 30 minutes you just cannot talk keeping your phone to your ear because of the extreme pain. I think this is due to radiation effect I think this is a very big problem

Gsm you mention the nokia 7 as a competitor to the x4 but you haven't reviewed it yet....not alot of websites have. I know its china only but it would be good to read about it.

Does moto x4 contains compass sensor??? I m not sure. I m just asking this bcs I sometimes highly frustrated with my Moto g5 plus as it doesn't have magnetometer...The overall phone is good but due to lack of compass sensor, all apps that uses compass is useless for me. Also due to this the google map navigation creates issue too.
Hope Moto includes this basic sensor in Moto X4.

The moto x4 is a HUGE disappointment imo.
No Amoled - or at least they could have used a good lcd.
No SD660 - while the 630 is adequate, it shouldn't be on a phone this expensive.
Priced too high - nearly the same as a g5 plus which is half the price.
One good camera with ois would have been better than 2 mediocre ones.
Unsymmetrical top and bottom chin - why is bottom one smaller?
Glass back is unnecessary(and fragile) considering it has no wireless charging.
Hopefully lenovo doesn't screw up the the 2018 g6 variants like they did the x4...

Just read htc u11 life, x4 has quick charge, metal frame, abit better camera & audio. Motorola is center of innovation at engineers class room, no wonder seen a lot in hands electrical engineers or IT.
Cons; Htc life has an oreo.

Themorabox, 03 Dec 2017Something everyone's missing when comparing this one vs MI ... moreXiaomi A1 has super high sar rating it can fry your brain (it even exceeds the EU / USA sar limits so not sure why this can be sold over here; even with shipping overseas)
They are a cheap brand, offering high specs and nice design but they have other flaws like the one above; as well as screens that crack super easily and other design issue's we probably don't know about below the service.
If u trust xiaomi and have had good experiences with them thats good for you,
but i wouldn't trust them and their businessmodel at all...

Something everyone's missing when comparing this one vs MI A1 is that in Performance the X4 kills the MI A1.
Even tough the MI A1 has SD625 and Adreno 506, when this phone has SD630 and Adreno 508, that little pump in the Adreno/SnapDragon makes this phone just great in graphics (refer to Performance tab in this review).
But, the difference in price against the MI A1 is way too much even with that good performance... so, not sure if it's worth it.
Unless you're going all in for Graphics performance and don't mind the difference in price this one is the way to go.

Too many companies are producing an over variety of mid range phones in here with miniscule differences that why bother. Financially it bites into resources for no good reason in the thought that slight model adjustment will have a surge in saturated sales market. One just stitches off. Samsung is classic here , it is a basket case of multiple numbers after the same model that you just can't be bothered deciphering each basically looks the same. As do other companies. Not an ideal business model to stay relevant. I am not an apple buyer but their business model is sound of limited choice but enough choice.
