Motorola Moto X4 review

29 November 2017
Once Motorola's flagship phone, the X went through an episode of multiple personality disorder in 2015 (remember the Style, Play and Force?) only to be replaced at the top by the Moto Z last year. Feeling at home in the midrange, the X-series is now in its fourth generation. Meet the Moto X4.

TheLostWanderer, 02 Dec 2017That phone is just plain ugly... I would personally never b... morethe back round thing on camera is a bit ugly i admit,
and glass on the back is dumb investment...

if u put a thin back case around it. for. protection
or a book case then the ugly round camera thing isnt visible.

if u dont use protection around round phone then u must be rich.
but this phone is the best quality/specifications/looks/feel on market right now for the price... which will get security and android updates for.a reasonable time to come.

there is just no competition right now. unless u see the cheap incredibly high SAR xiaomi with lcd screens that crack way too easily as an alternative.

    That phone is just plain ugly... I would personally never buy it simply because it looks hideous...

There's more chance of you breaking your lcd when you drop your bezeless phone. On this one only the glass will crack probably, the lcd will stay intact (depending on the fall).

                  A couple of cams, one is ultra wide - LG is not alone anymore..
                  Asus Zenfone 4- the ultra wide-angle cam covers a 120-degree field of view, just like LG's latest implementation on the V30..

                    BQ Aquaris A4.5 is also Android One and just got updated to Android 7.0 Nougat 2 months ago.
                    You get updates, but they are not faster than everyone else. The Moto X4 will get faster updates than the rest because Motorola is always faster in general than everyone.

                        I have mine from last friday and its awesome for its price.
                        100% satisfaction.
                        had lenovo Vibeshot before from release date for 400 eur now cost 220 brand new. Its still perfectly working but sold it to my friend for his daughter birthday.
                        Chinese phones just rules like swiss watch.
                        No need to buy 2-3 times more expensive phones from so called top brands.
                        Because apart you pay more you get nothing extra worth its price.

                          motomoto, 01 Dec 2017the samsung s7 has better screen, but its secondary camera ... moresamsung s7 will get oreo like the moto x...but its the last update for the s7...but it will get security updates tho

                              It is difficult to judge your reviews without mentioning the price. In my location, this costs the same as a Samsung S7 which trumps this device in many ways except the useless dual rear cameras.

                                Looks like a generation old. But more than specifications is about how overpriced is. As usual in Motorola.

                                  also check the sar value of the xiaomi phone talked about here its so high u can boil eggs with it.

                                  sar value of moto x4 is reasonably ok ;-)

                                      I have huge respect for Lenovo as a brand,but phones aren't their thing,at least not in the upper class.X4 is US only device so cannot compete globally,but the price,400euro?Really?
                                      I mean,as GSMA said,Xiaomi A1 is almost half the price,but for that money you can have way better options:Mi6,Honor 8 pro,1+3t,S7,Mate 9,G6,V20..
                                      Price for this good phone,but average in any way should be 250euro..

Both your lines are contradicting each other. Seems like you just want to say bad things about one plus without any point. You are just making fun of yourself with replies like this. One suggestion : read your own comment before you post them.
