Moto G4 Play Launching in India on 6th Of September On Amazon

Motorola has been teasing a new launch smartphone for a while, and it seems that the Moto G4 play will launch much before the Moto E3 Power which was on sale in Hong Kong recently. The Moto G4 Play has a MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 along with a 5 inch 1280 x 720p display.

The G4 play should come in it a more affordable price, and we are expecting it to be around the Rs. 10,000 price bracket or lower. The Moto G4 play is also among the few phones available today that will offer up a removable battery.

Motorola is attempting to increase penetration of the already popular Moto G4 by introducing a more budget friendly, gaming centric handset. Possibly to take on the Samsung Galaxy J lineup.

The Moto G4 Play will be an Amazon.in Exclusive as seen from the tweet below.

Here it is!

Documentation

The design of the Moto G4 Plus is unique to the Moto G series of phones. A flatter back panel and a more slimmer profile makes the Moto G4 plus look unique and much more premium than its predecessors.

The handset is still boasting a plastic frame, however is extremely durable and feels like metal thanks to the metal paint coating even though its not.

Lenovo branding is apparent, shown off on the box and each time you turn on the handset. The back features a 16 MP camera with a snappy auto-focus assisted with the laser focus and phase detection Auto-focusing. The camera also has a pro mode which like pro modes from many other manufacturers gives you great detail of control over your setting before you begin to capture a photograph.

The fingerprint sensor is quick with a response time of 750 millisecond and the sensor basically works from any angle.

The phone feels great in the hand and the back panel aka shell is available in a black or white at launch, you will be later able to buy coloured shells for changing out the back.

Moto has removed IP rating which means that the G4 unlike the Moto G Gen 3 will be not be water resistant, but the handset does have nano coating.

The sim slots come with nano to micro sim adapters, which is great if you have been using a nano sim slot device. If not, then you get free adapters.

Moto G4 Press Render Leaked

It looks like Moto has little to spare for its launch of the next generation Moto G aka, the Moto G4. With mostly all information out, little is left to the imagination. Now a new image by @evleaks points to the front of the display.

Calling it the “little bro” could lead to the non-plus version of the Moto G4. Leaks have pointed to a Snapdragon 617 SoC, 3GB RAM, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. With 16 MP and 13MP cameras for the Moto G4 Plus and Moto G4 respectively.

Say hello to your little bro. https://t.co/am51AwvMGf pic.twitter.com/KivM4AM9Sq

Everything We Know about the Moto G4 and G4 Plus

With the expected Launch of the next Moto G aka the Moto G4 and G4 plus to happen soon, there is already a lot of information that has been outed by tipsters and benchmarks. This is a roundup fo what to expect on the upcoming Moto G.

Name

The brand Motorola is no more and since the Lenovo acquisition is now complete the subsidiary brand is now called “Moto.” The Moto G revisions were known as the “Moto G” and the same with other phones. However, the interwebs and leaks suggest a proper Moto “G4” branding along with what rumors are pointing to as a Moto “G4 Plus,” which will either be a larger or a beefier specced handset.

Look

While @evleaks has been mostly responsible for leaking out Moto G4 images, some others have appeared online.

https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/722552740283551744

The images of the Moto G4 came out quite a while ago, they show the phone featuring a square front facing fingerprint scanner which may finally introduce the Moto lineup to fingerprint scanners. The rear shows a new camera layout along with dots that indicate either sensors or high-intensity microphones.

Specifications

Leaks have pegged that the Moto G4 is expected to have a 5.5-inch display, 13MP camera and 16GB of internal storage. The Moto G Plus is also expected to get a 5.5-inch display, a 16MP camera and 16GB of internal storage.Two models the XT1622 and XT1642 have been spotted on the FCC website.

The Moto G4 has also been spotted on benchmarking site Geekbench, revealing some other specs, which include a Snapdragon 617 SoC, 3GB RAM, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

Launch Date and Price

After Motorola’s official invitation to their launch on the 17th of May, everyone is expecting the company to introduce the Moto G4 and G4 plus at the same event , while pricing has been speculated at around Rs. 21000 for the Moto G4 Plus, it seems highly unlikely that the company will launch the G4 for a different category when it has constantly stayed in the Rs. 15000 price bracket. So while the G4 Plus may be priced slightly higher we are expecting the Moto G4 to launch somewhere in the Rs. 14500 price range.

It is also official that the next phone (which we assume is the G4) will now be an Amazon exclusive.

Moto G4 in India May be an Amazon Exclusive

Tweets between Moto India and Amazon India seems to show that the 17th May launch of the expected Moto G4 may be an Amazon India Exclusive. While it is difficult to say what Moto will eventually launch in India, leaks have pointed towards a Moto G device which will be dubbed as the Moto G4.

Hahaha! We shall make you wait no more, @JimBeamIndia. On @amazonIn, this 17th. #amazonexclusive

— Motorola India (@motorolaindia) May 11, 2016

Motorola has been associated with Flipkart since its re-launch as a brand few years back. Now that Lenovo has officially taken the reins of the operation it seems they will be choosing Amazon as their partner for this launch. Recently Moto also exclusively made available some variants of the Moto 360 gen 2 on Amazon India.

The Moto G4 and the Moto G4 plus which will feature Moto’s front square fingerprint scanner and now a 5.5-inch display, according to leaks, should be launched on the coming Tuesday.

A price of CNY 1,999 (roughly Rs. 20,400) is quoted for the base model of the OnePlus pointing towards a roughly Rs. 24000-25000 launch price in markets like India.

Motorola’s Next generation G, aka Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are launching on the 17th of May based on this new invite from Motorola.

The now Lenovo-owned company has had its Moto G4 and G4 plus leak out with specifications that should make it an interesting device, provided it is launched in the same price bracket as every Moto G prior to this.

The leaks have already suggested that Moto G4 will sport a front facing square fingerprint sensor. The Moto G4 is expected to have a 5.5-inch display, 13MP camera and 16GB of internal storage. The Moto G Plus is also expected to get a 5.5-inch display, a 16MP camera and 16GB of internal storage with prices set at approximately Rs 21,000 for the G Plus variant, which may become much less at the time of launch.
