GIZMO REVIEW MOTO G4 PLUS
The Moto G4
Plus is an impressive upgrade, but faces tough competition in the budget-phone
segment
The budget smartphone
market in India has been competitive for a while. Makers are trying to pack in
as many features as possible into a single product at the lowest possible
price. But, in recent times, there has also been a rise in the number of ‘plus’
models, which add a little more to the traditional upgrade. The Moto G4 Plus is
one such example.
WHAT'S GOOD:
The G4 Plus doesn’t
disappoint on most fronts. It is light and just the right size, making it easy
to grasp or carry around in your pocket. The device comes with a small tray to
convert a nano SIM to a micro SIM. This is probably the phone’s most useful feature.
Another big plus is the turbo charger: it almost entirely charged the device in
20 minutes. In terms of performance, the phone delivered when we played games,
browsed videos on YouTube, and checked our email, often simultaneously. The
fingerprint sensor was accurate, and the phone came with most of the features
that Motorola is known for such as assist and gestures.
WHAT’S NOT:
The camera isn’t the
greatest. In daylight, the images were a little hazy and the quality
deteriorated further in lowlight conditions. The phone heated up while put on
charge, making it a little too hot to handle for some time. In terms of the
design, there isn’t too much of a difference from the maker’s earlier-released
variant.
VERDICT:
The phone is a worthy
upgrade to the earlier Moto G model, but will face tough competition from
rivals to capture the audience’s attention.
