After a lot of rumor round-ups and leaks, we now finally have the new G line of phones from Moto under Lenovo branding. Motorola Moto G lineup has been the best budget phones every year, ever since the launch of the very first Moto G. Every year the device kept improving giving the budget oriented users a great phone to work with. This time around the choices are even wider with the launch of two Lenovo Moto G’s. The first one is the Lenovo Moto G4 and the second one is the Lenovo Moto G4 Plus.
From the name you might assume the G4 Plus might sport a larger screen and better specs, but both the phones are very similar in terms of size and most of the specs — the things that vary are the RAM, onboard storage and camera. There has been a lot of improvements on this year’s Moto G. As the mid-range market is getting tougher, Lenovo had to put up something great on the table and they just did with the Moto G4 which always has been the most beloved mid-range phone.
Both the phones now sport a 5.5-inch display and much awaited 1080p panel, fingerprint scanner. Powering the device is the all new Snapdragon 617 chipset backed up by 3000 mAh battery with both devices sporting Turbo Charging.
Moto G4 is the base model of the G4 line up. The variants you’ll get on the Moto G4 will be based on the internal storage of 16/32 GB while the RAM will stay 2GB for both variants. It sports 13MP Rear camera and 5MP Front Facing Camera. Although it supports Turbo Charging, Turbo Charger is not included in the box. Bummer!
