Moto X4 Specs and Review: The Bridge between G Series and Z Series
As I have mentioned earlier, the all-new Moto X4 has been the newest addition in the Motorola X series. After a break of 2 years, Motorola finally launched a phone in the X series and is all set to hit the market. It has a price tag of almost 200 Euro as for the European market.
The Moto X specs are tempting, to be honest, but we will be tearing that up for you so that you can have a better understanding of the phone. As you all know, we will be going through some important aspects of the phone, which will be giving us the required information so that we can have a better understanding of the product and its performance. The aspects are as follows:
- Design
- Display
- Performance
- Camera
- Battery
- Sensors and Other Features
- Water Resistance
So without wasting any time, let us dig into the inspection real quick. I will be faltered if you guys stick with me till the very end of this article.
Design of Moto X4: Excellent Metal and Glass Finish!
The first thing which will catch your eye is the all-new camera module and the metal and glass finish. I am very much satisfied with the looks by far, and you will be satisfied as well after reading the design attributes.
The all-new Moto X4 comes with a metal and glass finish. The frame is made out of high-quality aluminum, and the front and the back is of glass. The front side, which is the screen is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and the glass back is also protected with that as well. The Metal finish and the glass back give the phone a very classy look ad is indeed a phone to show off in your circle. The phone has a very steady weight balance as it is weighted around 163 grams.
The dimension of the phone is 5.84 inches in length, 2.89 inches in width, and 0.31 inches in the breadth. So as we speak, the all-new Moto X4 is just about the ideal size of a smartphone and is very comfortable to hold on to. The camera bump on the back is slightly elevated from the base of the phone, as that is the X factor of the phone. It gives the phone a very classy and appealing look, and the metal framing is just the icing on the cake.
And
The volume adjustment button and the Power switch is on the right side of the phone. Moderately thick bezels are there on the top and the bottom. The bottom portion of the front side, we will see the fingerprint sensor cum home button with the primary microphone. The top is the selfie camera, the earpiece, the sensor hole, and the LED flash are installed. On the top of the phone, we have the Hybrid SIM slot, and on the bottom, we have the 3.5 mm headphone jack and the USB type C charging cum data port. The back there is another microphone that means this device will do a decent job on the noise cancellation department.
Overall, the phone has a unique design. The build quality and the finishing is worth appreciating. The main concern is, however, the camera bump. As it is elevated from the base, it gives a wobbly feeling when the phone is rested on the back on a flat surface. But to some users, that is not a big issue. The design is compacted and enduring to some extend, and if you are a Moto fan, you will be craving for this phone to be in your hands.
