Motorola's popular G range of smartphones has been a strong success in India thanks to good pricing and the great quality on offer. The near-stock Android software on Motorola smartphones has made them popular with buyers looking for performance and ease of use, as well as timely software updates.

Motorola Moto G4 Summary

The Moto G4 is a little bit more affordable than the Moto G4 Plus, with a few feature reductions to justify to price difference. However, too much is sacrificed for a very small price benefit, and as such the Moto G4 is not worth its price compared to the G4 Plus. This phone looks good, has a decent screen and performance, and sports a near-stock version of Android Marshmallow, but the lack of a fingerprint sensor and average camera performance mean that it simply does not come across as a good deal. We recommend spending a bit more and getting the Moto G4 Plus, or the more powerful Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 which costs less than the Moto G4.

Moto G4 -Nothing to cheer compared to Moto G3 in 2016

Kishore Kannan (May 20, 2016) on Gadgets 360

There is nothing in features to cheer about Moto G4 except for 617 Soc,5.5 inch screen and improved battery imho. No Gyroscope sensor,Compass,NFC,IR,Fingerprint sensor and Dual Memory Channel for faster memory ops of octa-core for higher RAM config. Note : In your site ,Please correct the Connectivity section under Specifications of Moto G4. Most options are given "NO" which is absurd as the phone like its predecessor would support all except INFRARED and NFC options.
