Moto X4 First Impressions

Running through the specifications, the Moto X4 comes with Android 7.1 Nougat and supports a single-SIM slot (Nano). However, we can presume that the Indian variant will support dual-SIM cards. It features a 5.2-inch full-HD LTPS IPS display with 424ppi pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. It is powered by 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 octa-core SoC coupled with 3GB of RAM. With phones with 4GB RAM becoming quite common in India, we may get another Moto X4 variant in the country.

The front camera packs a 16-megapixel selfie sensor with flash support. It is backed by a 3000mAh battery with support for fast charging. The handset sports a metal unibody design and packs a fingerprint scanner under the home button at the front. It also comes with a USB Type-C port and 3.5mm audio jack which are found on the bottom of the handset.
