Lenovo Motorola Moto X4 Review
Lenovo Motorola Moto X4 has the new Qualcomm processor, namely Snapdragon 630, which is the heir to the 625 CPU which has made Qualcomm quite a fortune in the last 2 years. The processor is slightly more powerful then the past generation of processors, because of the Adreno 508 CPU and more advanced connectivity and ISP. The phone has a 4 GB of lpDDR4 RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. There is also a 3/32 GB variation which costs about 59 USD less. It is recommended to invest money on the pricier one here.

Unfortunately, the reception is not good. This might be because a modem software part hasn’t been fixed. The phone usually works OK but loses its signal when you are in an open and isolated area and it does not resume until you get back to an area with full signals. The reception problem is a real disadvantage and can make you wonder weather the phone is worth buying. If the problem is related to the software, then it will be solved if Motorola provides updates. The phone is a dual SIM device. The call audio quality is excellent, a bit discreet on handsfree. Apart from that, there are no connectivity issues. The phone is modern and complete in most aspects.

The overall performance is also pretty good and there are no problems. It does well in most situations. The web browsing and gaming experience is good too. Moto X4 has a shiny body, entirely in glass, flashy, beautiful and just as well-filled with dots. The phone is water resistant with an IP68 certification. The frame is made of aluminum and this gives the phone a premium and refined look. Dimensions of Moto X4(148.4 x 73.4 x 8 mm) are not excessive. The shape helps ergonomic, which is very good and capable of delivering a comfortable feel. The display of Lenovo Motorola Moto X4 is a 5.2 inch IPS LCD panel with FHD resolution. It is very beautiful and rich in color. It has a powerful back light too.
The phone boasts of one of the best LCDs in the world. It offers the best screen in this price range. The multimedia is of a good standard but suffers because of the sound emitted by the earphone cap. Although the overall quality is good, the abandonment of the speaker positioned on the board on the Moto G5S does not seem to be a good idea.

Lenovo Motorola Moto X4 has advanced dual cameras. On the back there are 2 cameras of which a 12 mega pixel standard with non-stabilized F / 2.0 and dual pixel autofocus optics, and the other 8-megapixel wide-angle with F / 2.2 aperture. Both can also count on a dual flash LED, especially powerful in torch mode. On the front you can find an additional LED flash and a 16-megapixel cam. The pictures are pretty good but nothing exceptional. This might be because there should have been a bigger opening in one of the cameras. There is no night and day cleaning. The noise is managed well at night but there is always a thread of sharpness and the colors are a bit discharged. The wide-angle camera is a bit bland, firstly because it does not have such a wide angle, and secondly because the image quality drops further than the main one. Overall, the phone is pretty average in the picture department. Videos, just like photos, suffer from low incisiveness. Selfies have a high resolution, both during the night and day. The battery of Moto X4 is 3000mAh and it is excellent. It can even last for 2 full days with moderate use. The camera app is intelligent and it will recognize objects and landmarks and even provide links for more information regarding them.
