Lenovo-owned Motorola’s much-anticipated fourth generation Moto X device will reportedly cost around EUR 350 (approx INR 26,500). Moto X4 was expected to launch with Moto Z2 Force but that was not the case, unfortunately .
Interestingly, the reported price is in the same region as the previous devices in the X line-up. The price leaked is for the 32 GB storage variant suggesting the Moto X4 may only launch with one storage capacity. The Moto X Style which was launched back in 2015 at a similar price of INR 27,000.
Moto X devices have been well received in the past and the Moto X4 was widely expected to be launched along with the Moto Z2 Force. There have been leaks aplenty about the Moto X4 just like the rest of the smartphones on the face of this planet. Rumours suggest a 5-inch full HD display. The Moto X4 will also run Android 7.1.1 out of the box and house a respectable 3,800 mAh battery.
In addition, it is rumoured to be powered by a Snapdragon 630 SoC, and launch in 3GB RAM/32Gb storage and 4GB RAM/32Gb storage variants. The camera is rumoured to be a dual-lens setup, with a 12-megapixel primary and an 8-megapixel secondary camera at the back along with a 16 megapixel selfie shooter at the front of the device. Rumoured to have an IP68 rating makes the Moto X4 an interesting entrant to the sub-30k category where it competes with the mighty Honor 8 Pro. QuickCharge 3.0, NFC and hopefully all the important sensors are expected to make it into the smartphone setup on the Moto X4.
The sub-30k category once dominated by Oneplus and Xiaomi has opened up since Oneplus 5 was released with a 32,999 price tag for its 6Gb RAM/64GB storage variant and Xiaomi’s last true flagship launch was the Mi5 last year. Moto X4 will compete with Honor 8 Pro’s flagship specs but a heavily skinned EMUI with its stock-ish Android experience and mid-range specs. Do you think the Moto X4 will be able to make a mark in the Indian market?
