Moto X4 Launch Now Expected at IFA 2017, With Stall Spotted at Venue

Moto X4, the often-leaked, upcoming smartphone of the Moto X series, might be launched ahead of the rumoured date. Till now, it was said that the handset will be unveiled via a Facebook Live event by Moto Philippines at 6pm local time (3:30pm IST) on Saturday, September 2, but now a renowned tipster has suggested the Moto X4 launch will be at the ongoing IFA 2017 trade show in Berlin. The image shared by the tipster shows a Moto X4 stall at the expo, pretty much confirming the handset will have a presence at the mega event.

The image was posted on Twitter by Roland Quandt, who spotted the said Moto X4 stall, shows that it is surrounded by few springs that are used to showcase smartphones. The IFA 2017 trade show is officially slated to begin from Friday, September 1 and will conclude on Wednesday, September 6 - and Lenovo clearly doesn't want to miss the platform to unveil its upcoming offering - alongside its planned Philippines launch.

The Moto X4 is expected to carry an online MSRP of $349.99 (roughly Rs. 22,400) and $399.99 (roughly Rs. 25,600), suggesting that there are going to be two variants of Moto X4.

As reported earlier, the Moto X4 is tipped to have a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3. It is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC paired with Adreno 508 GPU and 4GB of RAM. It is said to pack 64GB of inbuilt storage, which will be expandable via a microSD card slot (up to 256GB). For the cameras, the Moto X4 will sport two 12-megapixel rear cameras - one for colour and the other for monochrome grade. At the front, there should be a 16-megapixel selfie camera. The smartphone is tipped to pack a 3000mAh battery, and should run on Android Nougat out-of-the-box.
