The Moto G4 has been recognised as one of the highest-rated phones of the year, so how does its premium variant stack up? Here are what the critics thought of the £229 Moto G4 Plus.
Reviewer: Samuel Gibbs
“The new Moto G4 has lost a bit of the charm that made the previous Moto Gs delightful and has grown considerably in size, but is a step up in terms of overall quality. It has a good screen, a day’s battery, decent performance and cameras, plus a microSD slot and dual Sim support if you need it.”
Reviewer: Roydon Cerejo
“The Moto G4 Plus is a welcome evolution of the Moto G series, which takes it a step further in terms of features and performance. The phone packs in a much needed SoC upgrade which keeps the latest version of Android running smoothly, a fingerprint sensor, a good camera for daylight photography, and all-day battery life. This makes it a very good option in this price range.”
Reviewer: Chris Martin
“Although the new Moto G4 is more expensive than the third-generation, Motorola is offering a Full HD screen, better processor, more storage and memory. Not everyone will enjoy the jump to 5.5in or the lack of full waterproofing but this is still a brilliant phone for under £200.”
Reviewer: Andrew Williams
“This is the jazzy version of the Moto G4. More features, more megapixels, and a price that edges over £200. Is it worth it? For a whole bunch of you, yes.”
Reviewer: Jonathan Bray
“Does this add up to a convincing case for the Moto G4 Plus? Taking everything into account, I don’t believe there’s enough here to justify the extra spend… That’s not to belittle the Motorola Moto G4 Plus, though. It’s the Moto G4 with slight improvements, so it’s awesome. “
Reviewer: Sanshey Biswas
“Overall, Moto G4 Plus is a safe upgrade from its predecessors. The smartphone doesn’t offer anything ground-breaking or mesmerising. Instead, it banks on the brand name established over the years and upgraded hardware to lure customers.”
