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.
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.
