Motorola announced the Moto G4 Plus smartphone today. While the phone was accompanied by the Moto G4, that particular device will be sold from next month. The Moto G4 Plus has a 5.5 inch FHD display, along with the Snapdragon 617 SoC, clocked at 1.5 GHz. The device will be available in 2GB/16GB and 3GB/32GB variants, priced at Rs. 13,499 and Rs. 14,999 respectively. The Moto G4 Plus sells exclusively on Amazon India.
Let's take a look at the specs first.
Display: 5.5-inch, 1080p
SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 617
RAM: 2/3GB
Storage: 16/32GB
Rear Camera: 16MP
Front Camera: 5MP
Battery: 3000mAh
OS: Android 6.0.1
The display specs have finally been bumped up to 1080p. The 5.5-inch display is not the best we have seen in recent times, but it is still better than the last 720p units, like the Moto G (3rd Gen).
The front look of the phone has been kept quite similar to previous Moto phones, but the curved back has been replaced by a more flatter profile. Also, Moto G4 Plus features a 5MP front-facing camera.
The Moto G4 Plus has a 16MP rear camera, aided by both PDAF (Phase detection autofocus) and Laser autofocus.
The phone also has a metal frame. A metal rings runs around the phone, but it still feels quite plasticky.
The fingerprint scanner is a welcome edition on the Moto G4 Plus, although the shape of the sensor is a bit odd. Further, the Moto G4 won't feature a fingerprint scanner.
