Lenovo has presented the rumored Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus smartphones during an event held in India. If you remember, we reported on these two smartphones a week ago. The smartphones have been presented in India on purpose – Lenovo believes that the Asian country with a population of over 1 billion people is the company’s most important market.
An interesting fact is that Lenovo has used two names for the smartphones – they are known as Moto G and Moto G Plus 4th generation and as Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus. We will leave it to you to pick a name and we will go back to the smartphones in question. It turns out that they share most of the tech specs – they both feature 5.5-inch displays at Full HD resolution hidden behind Gorilla Glass 3 protection and Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processors. The displays and the new processor are the major improvements the new Moto G smartphones come with. A 3000 mAh battery powers both devices. Lenovo claims that in 15 minutes users can charge the smartphones so much that they can last for 6 hours. In addition both the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, have 5 MP front cameras and support two SIM cards.
This is where the differences step in – the Moto G comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory but there’s a microSD memory card slot too. The device also has a 13 MP camera. The Moto G4 Plus will have the same 2 GB RAM/16 GB memory configuration but there’s another version too that has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. In addition the Moto G4 Plus has a 16 MP rear camera with an aperture of f/2.0 and a fingerprint reader. Both smartphones are housed in a plastic chassis but there’s a metal frame that goes around the smartphone. The Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus measure 158 x 76.6 x 9.8 mm and weigh 155 grams.
The Moto G4 Plus is available now for USD 200 and USD 225 depending on the model. The Moto G4 will be in stores next month – the price of this smartphone has not been confirmed but chances are it will sell for around USD 180.
