**Moto G4 Plus Review: A Value-Packed Device with a Few Quirks**
The Moto G4 Plus is a micro SD card-enabled device that comes with a dedicated slot, making it a great option for those who want to expand their storage without using two SIM cards. The back of the device is made of plastic and has a good grip, making it easy to hold. The top of the phone features a 3.5mm headphone jack, power button, volume rockers, and on the bottom, there's only a micro USB port for charging.
**Physical Overview and Build Quality**
The physical overview of the Moto G4 Plus is as follows: at the top, we have the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a good feature to have. The power button and volume rockers are located on the top, making it easy to navigate through the phone's settings. The bottom of the phone features only a micro USB port for charging, which is a bit disappointing considering some phones have multiple charging ports. However, the Moto G4 Plus does support quick charging, which is a nice feature. Additionally, there's a small indent on the power button that may be referred to as the "dimple" in Motorola's terminology.
**Weight and Design**
The Moto G4 Plus feels slightly lighter compared to its counterpart, the regular Moto G4 Plus, making it easier to carry around. The device is designed with a plastic body that has a good grip, making it easy to hold onto without slipping out of your hands. Overall, the design and build quality of the Moto G4 Plus are satisfactory, but may not be the most premium or high-end feel.
**Specs Overview**
The Moto G4 Plus features a 5.5-inch 1080P screen with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, which is a great display for its price range. The device is powered by an octa-core processor from the Snapdragon 617 chipset, along with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. There's also a dual-SIM configuration with support for expandable storage via micro SD card slots.
**Camera Performance**
The Moto G4 Plus features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, both of which are decent options for their price range. However, the camera performance may not be as impressive as some other devices in its class. The device comes with Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) out of the box, and we can expect timely updates from Motorola.
**Storage and Performance**
The Moto G4 Plus has 16 GB of internal storage, but only around 10.82 GB is available for use due to the operating system and other pre-installed apps. However, this device supports Android Adoptable Storage, allowing users to expand their storage capacity using a fast micro SD card.
**Pricing Comparison**
The Moto G4 Plus is priced at around ₹12,500 in India, which is very close to the price of its counterpart, the regular Moto G4 Plus, but still slightly lower. However, considering the features and performance offered by this device, we feel that it's worth the extra 1,000 rupees. We also compare it to other devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (3 GB RAM model) priced at ₹12,000 and the Lenovo ZUK Z2 (5-inch display, 4K resolution) priced at around ₹15,000.
**Overall Verdict**
In conclusion, the Moto G4 Plus is a value-packed device that offers a great balance of features and performance for its price range. While it may not be as premium or high-end as some other devices in its class, it still has a lot to offer. The device's dedicated micro SD card slot, quick charging support, and decent camera performance make it an attractive option for those looking for a budget-friendly Android device. However, considering the pricing of the regular Moto G4 Plus and other devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, we feel that this variant may not be the best value for money.
**Final Thoughts**
We will be testing the Moto G4 Plus extensively to see how it performs in real-world scenarios. We'll check if it exhibits any overheating issues during gaming or other demanding activities. We'll also test its camera performance and overall user experience.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranit and in this video we'll be doing the unboxing and have a first look at this Moto G4 and I would say this is a cutdown version of the Moto G4 plus which I had uh reviewed earlier and uh it's a little bit uh uh Less in pricing compared to the G4 plus but I will compare it a little bit with the G4 plus and give you an idea does it make any sense to even buy this device uh because it's very similar to the G4 plus the processor is also the same it has the 5.5 and screen and we get this in white color and uh it's a dual some device and it says it's uh running on the octacore processor that's a Snapdragon 617 the camera uh has gone down the G4 plus has a 16 megap but this one is having a 13 map and uh it does not have what do you say laser autof focusing system at as far as I know and uh if we look at it so we get a USB uh charging cable we also get a headset this is sort of very average headset I would say uh basic one has a button to take or end calls and the good thing is that we still do get the turbocharger so it does support a fast charging so here is the Moto G4 and it just gives us the basic specs that it's a octacore processor comes with dual SIM and let me remove this plastic cover and here is the handset itself and regarding the pricing it sold in India via Amazon for 12,500 and if you this is the G4 plus and if you bring closely uh you'll notice that they're very similar except that uh this G4 does not have the fingerprint scanner which is there on this G4 plus so you don't get any fingerprint scanner and from the back actually they look very similar to each other uh but the camera module is different print and this is having a 16 mapel and it also has laser autof focusing system which is not present on this one I think so uh they might be using the Moto g3's camera module because that one was also 13 map and that was actually pretty decent and it's a proper dual SIM device guys and it can also accept a Micro SD card which is a dedicated slot so if you use two SIM cards and want a what do you say dedicated SD card that's there uh so that's what it is so let me quickly give you and again this back is plastic and it is gives a good grip uh I would say and uh let me give you a physical overview on the top we have the 3.5mm headphone jack uh this is the power onof button volume rockers and on the bottom uh just the micro USB port that'll be used for charging it does support quick charging nothing on this set we have that Motorola dimple but it's pretty recessed I would say this time so let me quickly just start this and in terms of weight yeah it's slightly uh lighter compared to the regular Moto G4 plus so it feels a little bit lighter in the hand I would say uh so uh by the time it actually boots up let me quickly give you the specs overview this Moto G4 is part by the Snapdragon 617 chipset which is the octacore processor it has a 5.5 in 1080P screen which has Gorilla Glass 3 production it has the adreno 405 GPU it comes with 2 GB of ram 16 GB of internal storage it's a dual SIM device with SD card slot moving to the camera it has a 13 map rear facing camera and a 5 mapix front-facing camera and the battery is a 3,000 mAh battery and I was just setting up the Wi-Fi the good thing is that it still supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band as well as the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band so I've just finished setting up this device and again it's a motor device so almost very close to stock Android experience and we do get FM radio with this one so that is what it is and if we go over here and look at about the device uh again it is coming with the Android version 6.0.1 which is Android marshmallow so you don't have to worry about Android updates they generally do get uh quickly on the Moto devices and regarding storage let's look at it because this comes with just 16 GB of internal storage so let's have a look at the storage where did it go here it is and uh out of that uh 16 gbes uh just about 10.82 GB is available but as uh this phone has a dedicated micro SD card slot uh and it does support Android adoptable storage you can add a fast micro SD card and use that as storage so if you feel that the internal storage is low I would suggest you insert a SD card when you get this device and uh use that so that is regarding the storage but s to see that we don't have uh the 32 GB variant and regarding the camera it's a 13 megap shooter again the interface will be similar to other Moto devices which is uh uh very simple I would say and it has that twist to start so we can just tap on a subject to get the focus and I will definitely test out and see uh how much different this one is compared to the 16 map uh shooter uh so because this one uh the G4 plus 16ap camera was actually really good uh so it's too early to judge the camera performance I will have to test that but frankly considering the pricing of uh these devices uh you can get the G4 plus 2 GB Ram model for 13,500 in India and this one is priced at around 12,500 in India and I frankly feel uh you should go with this variant I would say just the price difference is 1,000 rupees I would say mo uh Moto should have been a little bit more aggressive regarding the pricing of this one at 12,500 I feel it's very close to the pricing of the G4 plus which has the fingerprint scanner and a better camera and I feel uh again they should have been more aggressive in the pricing because you can get the redmi Note 3 3 GB Ram model for 12,000 and even the new le uh 2 so again uh I'm not that impressed with the pricing of these device and I frankly feel the G4 plus does offer better value again it has the same processor as the G4 plus that's the Snapdragon 617 so I will be testing it out to see if this one also exhibits any overheating issues while doing extensive gaming I won't be producing dedicated videos for this one I will directly be just posting the final review after testing this device so if you have any other specific questions around this Moto G4 do post them in the YouTube comments below and if you're not subscribed to my YouTube channel hit that subscribe
