#MOTO X4 SCREEN LIGHTS UP WHEN MOVED MODS#
Sadly there’s no support for Motorola’s Moto Mods though, so if you want to get stuck into these add-ones you’ll have to buy a Moto Z-series handset. Impressively, the X4 is also fully IP68 water resistant – one of the few smartphones at this price point to boast such a design feature. This is certainly one of the better-looking Moto phones. Thankfully that glass surfacing doesn’t seem to pick up fingerprints and greasy marks as easily as some rivals ( Xperia XZ Premium, we’re looking at you), while the metal edging is a neat break from the glossy rear.

One-handed use isn’t particularly easy either, as the bezels surrounding the display aren’t exactly svelte (although Motorola has helped out with some software features, which we’ll touch on later). It’s a rather chunky handset, with an 8mm frame that gets even thicker when you hit the jutting camera lens. We prefer the more colourful blue model.Īt 163g, the Moto X4 has a definite heft which adds to the premium feel.
This handset reminded us somewhat of the Honor 9, although you can only grab the X4 in two colours: ‘super’ black or ‘sterling’ blue. We’ve already had a play with the Moto X4 out at IFA and here’s our hands-on impressions.įormed of glass and metal, the Moto X4 definitely has a premium design despite the mid-range asking price. This water resistant blower is made from metal and glass, packs a dual-lens camera on the rear and boasts the kind of features we usually only see on more expensive blowers, including Bluetooth 5.0 support. However, despite the 349 pound asking price, you can still expect quite a premium set of specs, as well as some sleek design work.
The new Moto X4 resurrects the X-series smartphones, which used to be top-end devices and now sit neatly in the mid-range price bracket. The Moto Z2 Play and Moto Z2 Force boast premium specs and support the rather great Moto Mods accessories, although you’ll need to cough up a bit more cash for those handsets.Īt IFA 2017 last week, Motorola only went and launched yet another handset. This launch was followed by two even more affordable handsets, the Moto E4 and E4 Plus, as well as the new flagship devices. The mobile manufacturer started strong with the excellent value of the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus, which have just been updated in the form of the Moto G5s and G5s Plus.
We went hands-on with this mid-range handset, which offers a premium water-resistant design, Alexa support and a funky dual-lens camera, and here’s what we think so far.Ĭertainly no one can accuse Motorola of sitting on its arse this year. Motorola has had a busy 2017 and its smartphone offerings just extended further with the launch of the rather brilliant Moto X4.
