If you are wondering what you will get with Android One edition of the Moto X4, it will offer a "Pure Android" experience and "carefully curated set of preinstalled apps" as per the company. "For example, it comes optimised for the Google Assistant to help you get more done, and offers high-quality video calling with Google Duo. You'll also get access to the latest updates from Android, such as Android Oreo before the end of the year. Android One Moto X4 will be among the first to receive an upgrade to Android P," the company said in its blog post.
If we talk about specifications, the handset comes with the same configuration as the regular variant of Moto X4.
