![]() The few additions Motorola has made include gestures such as twist for opening the camera, double karate chop for turning on the torch, a blue light filter and flip for do not disturb which are useful additions to Google's stock package. Motorola has more or less left stock Android almost untouched. ![]() ![]() Other than that slight hiccup, Motorola's software package is one of the best around - and miles ahead of completion from Oppo, Vivo and Gionee in this price range. Unlike the Moto G5S Plus and Moto Z2 Play, which had minimal bloat on board, our Moto X4 review unit came with a few third-party applications like UC News and UC Browser pre-installed which is a shame. It isn't as lightning fast as flagships but that is expected. Thanks in part to Motorola's well-optimised Android 7.1.1 Nougat build, the smartphone handles everything from day to day tasks to moderately intensive use with aplomb and barely slows down. Thankfully, mid-range internals do not translate to a laggy and sub-par user experience. Additionally, it comes with 32/64GB of internal storage which can be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD card. It is powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 630 processor paired with either 3 or 4GB of RAM depending on the variant and the Adreno 508 GPU. While past iterations of the X series - save for the X Play - were flagships, the X4 is a mid-range smartphone and its spec sheet reflects the same. The Moto software suite also comes with an always on display and a blue light filter - both of which are nifty additions to stock Android. Kudos to Motorola for going for a display of this size when the world is blindly moving towards 6-inch panels. Viewing angles are great and no distortion or tint is seen from any angles.Īt the risk of repeating myself, the 5.2-inch size goes a long way towards making the smartphone compact. While the colours do not particularly 'pop', they are natural and well represented. DisplayĪpart from the fact that it does not get bright enough to deal with harsh sunlight, the 5.2-inch FullHD display on the Moto X4 is more than adequate for the price point. To put things into perspective, devices like the iPhone 8 and HTC U11 - which cost almost three times as much as the X4, come with an inferior IP67 water ingress rating. The Moto X4 is also one of the rare mid-range smartphones that is IP68 dust and water resistant which means it can be used in the rain, near the pool and even in the washroom without any worries whatsoever. The buttons have a decent amount of feedback and are built well. The fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button up front is fairly fast and accurate and will not give you cause to complain. The earpiece also acts as a loudspeaker and is surprisingly crisp and clear.
