When we reviewed the first-gen Moto G, we started off by saying that it’s the device that can fulfil its parent Google’s ambition of reaching out to the next billion smartphone users. It was quite successful in achieving that as well, since it was the best-selling phone for the brand that year. Fast forward to 2016, the budget ‘G’ series has reached its fourth iteration. But what’s even more interesting is that Motorola’s parentage has changed now, which makes the latest offering from the brand to be the first one to carry Lenovo branding. But is that all that’s changed with the Moto G( 4th-gen)?
The Moto G series is now following the footsteps of the premium Moto X range by bifurcating into two – Moto G4 and the G4 Plus. The latter is the first device from the new-age Motorola to offer a fingerprint scanner( the company offered biometric authentication on the Atrix back in 2011) . It also adds a higher RAM and storage option, plus an improved rear camera. We’ve been using the Lenovo Moto G4 Plus for the past few days to find out if these changes are enough to make it a compelling option at its starting price of Rs 13, 499.
