Originally announced at the IFA Berlin trade show in 2017, Motorola Moto X4 was praised for its design and looks. The device offers a 5.2-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display that is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Made from 3D contoured glass body, it definitely looks different from other Moto devices release so far in the market. Not just the design, the camera hump on the back that features two lenses and a dual LED flash. The main camera has a 12MP sensor, while the 8MP secondary snapper can take monochrome images, as well as depth effects.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a Snapdragon 630 processor coupled with either 3GB, 4GB or 6GB RAM and 32GB or 64GB storage. A microSD card slot is also available for memory expansion. It is backed by a non-removable 3000mAh battery. A 15-minute charging with the supplied TurboCharging charger will provide 6 hours of usage. While the earlier two variants come with Android 7.1 Nougat, however, the 6GB RAM variant runs Android 8.0 Oreo.

At Rs 24,999, Moto X4 can be a decent purchase. However, the Moto X4 has to compete with the Honor 8 Pro. The latter device is available for Rs 24,999, but comes with 128GB internal storage. Also, the camera quality on the Honor 8 Pro is something you won’t get with the Moto X4.
