The Moto G series has become Motorola’s bread and butter. Still, Motorola has a well-earned reputation for software updates - even if it’s slipped to a quarterly cycle of late. It remains to be seen how well its software updates keep in step with the rest of the Android One devices around the world.
MOTO X4 SCREEN LIGHTS UP WHEN MOVED FOR ANDROID
While you might think Google would be better served using its own Pixel phones, because of the nature of Fi devices connecting to available cellular networks they needed a device that was certified to work on all of them - the Pixel is only on Verizon in the USA.Īdditionally, according to Adamopoulus, while the reference specification for Android One devices seems to be trending towards faster and better hardware, the Moto X4 doesn’t actually match that specification - Google’s made an exception and taken on the task of supporting the device in the Android One program because they wanted the phone.
Motorola’s Danny Adamopoulos explained why the Android One variant of the Moto X4, launched in the US on Google’s Fi network, won’t be coming to Australia. You’ll be able to pick up the Moto X4 for $699 at JB Hi-Fi, or direct from Motorola from Thursday September 28. It launches with Nougat, but it’s been announced to be getting Oreo. The Moto X4 has a strong, solid feel in the hand and a little heft (owing to its metal and glass construction) but that’s okay. There’s also a few neat tricks packed within, like support for up to four Bluetooth audio devices (engage party mode) and a new way to take screenshots (place three fingers on the screen for a moment) … and Amazon Alexa (we assume like other phones, that’ll be pending the official launch of the service in Australia).įor the price, the specs are pretty attractive. It’s also stepped up the IP-rating game to IP68 for great water and dust resistance. The Moto X4’s body features Gorilla Glass 3 front-and-back with a front-facing fingerprint reader.
The front-facing selfie camera moves up to 16MP with improved low light performance and a “panoramic selfie” setting – to let the family photobomb your pictures. It also moves Motorola’s needle on dual camera support, with dual 12MP and 8MP (wide angle) rear cameras working together to bring a “bokeh” effect to portrait photos and allowing effects like selective black and white photography.
MOTO X4 SCREEN LIGHTS UP WHEN MOVED 1080P
The Moto X4, launching on Thursday at $699 runs a Snapdragon 630 processor and a 1080p screen, but those are really the only compromise on specs with 4GB RAM, 64GB storage with a Micro SD slot with a 3,000 mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3 support. Motorola’s high end focus has shifted to the Z range and its Moto Mods attachments, moving the Moto X into the high end of the midrange.
