Moto G4 Plus reviewed: a high-end phone for under $400
Source: Bit-Tech Archive.org version
As an all-round package, it’s hard to find fault with the Motorola Moto G4 Plus. It may be more expensive than the third-gen Moto G, but it’s better in most ways – with superior battery life, a better camera, a brighter, bigger screen and a sleeker, more grown-up design.

If you can get past its few flaws, the Moto G4 Plus is probably the best smartphone in its price range. But if you absolutely need a better camera or want a metal phone, you might have to look at slightly more expensive phones.

Moto G4 Plus review
Source: GSM Arena Archive.org version
Like we already mentioned, it is a changed Vanilla Android world out there. Google is no longer the shepherd in the distance who simply looks over the flock and provides acts of good will here and there. Now that the web veteran officially threw its gloves in the ring with the Pixel and Pixel XL, conditions are definitely changed. While the latter probably won't disrupt overall market shares and sales numbers in any noticeable way (you need vast and well-established sales channels to even come close to the big-league players nowadays), they do represent a shift in mentality.

Review: Moto G4 Plus
Source: T Break Archive.org version
The smartphone offers a nice blend of features at an affordable price point, but it isn’t enough to rise above the intense competition in the mid-range segment. The likes of Xiaomi, LeEco and even Motorola’s parent brand ‘Lenovo’ have comparatively better-looking and better-featured devices with comparable prices. That too for metal build smartphones, compared to the plasticky Moto G4 Plus.

Moto G4 Plus Review: The Best Mid-Range Value Out There?
Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
It’s hard to find a reason to recommend against the Moto G4 Plus if you’re looking for a do-everything phone for less than $300. You could even snag the $250 16 GB version and add your own storage through the SD card if you really wanted to stretch your budget, and you’d still get everything listed above minus 2GB of RAM (and pay a mere $50 to upgrade the previously-mentioned features over the base Moto G4).

Moto G4 Plus quick review – the new leader of the popular Moto G family
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
Moto G4 Plus is a model that strongly reminds one of the standard Moto G4 both in terms of its design and features. The presence of a separate version, however, which builds up on the mainstream model is not something we see for the first time. Actually, this can be considered as a positive side. In the particular case we can’t say that there are that many differences. The camera has grown to 16MP and now offers a laser autofocus but you can’t really tell the difference in image quality between it and the sensor in Moto G4. On the other hand, the Plus model has a fingerprint scanner which undoubtedly is a useful addition. We must also not forget that Moto G4 Plus comes at a price slightly higher than that of its brother.

Moto G4 And G4 Plus Review: What Are The Pros And Cons?
Source: Forbes Archive.org version
It seems that the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to the Moto G4 and G4 Plus. If you are looking to own an Android device, then I would strongly consider getting either the Moto G4 or G4 Plus — especially if you are on a budget. Personally, I would take the G4 Plus over the G4 because of its superior camera and memory hardware along with the fingerprint sensor.

The Moto G Plus on the other hand, costs $250 for a phone with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. A budget of $300, on the other hand, will land you a fully loaded Moto G Plus with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of memory. Both smartphones are solid entries in their price ranges despite the above shortcomings. However, despite it being the lesser sibling, we still think that the Moto G is the the one to go for.

With the G4 Plus, Moto has once again delivered a solid phone for not a lot of money. While the stock G4 Plus' design and uncomfortable fingerprint sensor put a slight damper on this new generation, those negatives are easily outweighed by Lenovo's Moto Maker customization tools and a screen, a sharp rear camera and long battery life that deliver a great return on your investment.

Lenovo has seamlessly continued Motorola's good work, refining this popular budget range and elevating expectations about what you can reasonably expect in a relatively cheap Android phone. The gap between the Moto G4 Plus and the latest batch of Android flagships is not as wide as I expected. It's a pleasurable device to use, and it represents good value for money.

The Moto G4 Plus is a curious beast. It straddles the tricky middle ground between temptingly affordable and a little out of reach. If you liked everything about the Moto G4 you'll find a lot to love here because the G4 Plus is essentially the same phone. But do those added extras justify the higher price? We're a bit on the fence here.

If you’re tempted by the Moto G4 Plus purely because of its allegedly better camera, then you shouldn’t bother. It is, for all practical intents and purposes, identical to the camera on the cheaper G4. The only thing that should tempt you to opt for the Plus is its fingerprint reader. We think the convenience is worth the £60 premium so, if you can afford it, then you should definitely choose it over the standard G4.

70% A worthy upgrade, but not the best in its class
Source: Tech2.in.com Archive.org version
The camera is impressive and Moto has finally proved that the company has the capability to incorporate a quality camera module. Even the display looks sharp and vivid for something at that price, although we wish that Motorola had used a 5-inch panel rather than 5.5-inch one. The fingerprint scanner is very snappy, even though it’s tiny in size and the performance is up to the mark, if the best. If you are looking for a balance of quality rather than high-end performance, the Moto G4 Plus is the option to go for.

Lenovo Moto G4 Plus review
Source: Stuff TV Archive.org version
The Moto G series is not what it used to be. It’s proved so successful that it now covers the mid-range phone buyer as well as the bargain hunter. Thankfully, this year’s upgrades mean it doesn’t seem out of place in this next league. Fast charging, a better screen and a pretty good camera make this mid-ranger easy to recommend. Upgrading to the Plus model is not essential, though. The £169 vanilla version still earns the most penny-pinching cred.

The original Moto G disrupted the budget Android phone market and Motorola deserves credit for that. But since then a lot has happened and many new overeager disrupters have joined the game. At the same time, the Moto G models have steadily moved up the price range and this latest generation is the most expensive one yet, stretching the meaning of the term 'affordable' to new heights.

While the Moto G4 Plus beats the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, LeEco Le 1s, Lenovo Zuk Z1 and others in the camera department, it doesn't do as well otherwise. The Redmi Note 3 remains the best performer, and it is 40% more powerful than the G4 Plus. So, if you want a good camera, go for the G4 Plus, if not, the Redmi Note 3 remains our pick below 15k.

Finally, as noted, the prices appear very good for what's on offer at £169 for the G4 and £199 for the G4 Plus. Certainly this is a great price for anyone after a phone with more than adequate specs and that won't break the bank.

If you can afford the additional £30 (around US$40, AU$60), the G4 Plus is worth getting over the Moto G4 - the fingerprint scanner makes unlocking simpler, the improved rear camera will make your social media accounts sing and with the quick charge power adapter included in the box, running out of juice should be less of a worry.

This is a lot of phone for £199. If you can manage the size and aren’t fussed that it’s built from plastic, you’re getting a very good deal. There’s no NFC, so Android Pay is out of the question, but it has a fingerprint sensor, decent CPU and an impressive 1080p.

As well-priced as the standard Moto G4 is at £169, there seems little reason to settle for less than the £199 Moto G4 Plus. Those added camera smarts are gonna make a huge difference when it comes to low light photos, and the fingerprint scanner is a handy extra. Given the choice, this is the Moto G4 we’d go for.

The Moto G4 Plus is a welcome evolution of the Moto G series, which takes it a step further in terms of features and performance. The phone packs in a much needed SoC upgrade which keeps the latest version of Android running smoothly, a fingerprint sensor, a good camera for daylight photography, and all-day battery life. This makes it a very good option in this price range.

Hands-on with the Moto G 2016 budget phones
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
Although the new Moto G4 is more expensive than the third-generation, Motorola is offering a Full HD screen, better processor, more storage and memory. Not everyone will enjoy the jump to 5.5in or the lack of full waterproofing but this is still a decent phone for under £200. Most will benefit from fingerprint scanner and better camera of the Moto G4 Plus for just £30 which also comes with the Turbo Charger in the box. Stay tuned for full reviews soon.

What is the difference between the new Moto G 2016 budget phones?
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
It’s slightly unusual for a ‘plus’ model of a phone not to have a larger screen, and with the Moto G4 having largely the same specs as the G4 Plus, but an extra £30 for a fingerprint scanner and a better camera doesn't seem bad at all. It's a bit confusing but hopefully we've cleared things up for you so you can decide which Moto G4 is right for you.

It's bigger, but it's still a bargain
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
The new Moto G and Moto G Plus hangs on to many of the characteristics of the previous Moto G phones, importantly it's still good value for money. However, there's a general creep in price and size that some might not like: this could be a 5-inch device that's cheaper than the £169 starting price offered here.

5.50":

This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.

Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.

Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. From 2004, the company has been the largest laptop manufacturer in China and got the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide after the acquisition of IBM's PC division in 2005. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.

In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.

From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.

81.68%: This rating should be considered to be average. This is because the proportion of notebooks which have a higher rating is approximately equal to the proportion which have a lower rating.
