Motorola continues to launch new terminals on the market. Recall that the North American company now belongs to the Japanese Lenovo. Although he decided to keep this new division somewhat independent and have his own mobile division in which they are also adding new equipment. Now it is the turn of the Motorola Moto X4.
This new mobile enters fully into the mid-range of the sector. Now, as always with Motorola, it will also give a lot to talk about. And is that The Motorola Moto X4 also bets on a resistant chassis and a double rear camera. That is, follow the current trend a bit and jump on the bandwagon to gain some market share. Now we will see if the price accompanies it and if its technical characteristics are consistent.
Full HD display and IP68 certified chassis
The first thing we want to tell you about this new Motorola Moto X4 is that its screen reaches 5,2 inches diagonally. It will not be one of the largest equipment on the market, but it is that not everyone needs a screen close to 6 inches. Likewise, the resolution it reaches is Full HD. It is not necessary to have many more pixels to be able to enjoy quality content on small screens, but knowing that the sector is filling up with QHD screens, it may be a bit short in this regard.
On the other hand, the chassis of this Motorola Moto X4 is dust and water resistant. It is IP68 certified, so you can submerge it underwater to a maximum depth of 1,5 meters for 30 minutes. After these figures, the manufacturer is not responsible for the malfunction of the equipment. Also, and unlike what usually happens in other models, the fingerprint reader of this Motorola Moto X4 is located on the front.
Mid-range Qualcomm processor and 3GB of RAM
As for the chip chosen to power the computer, Lenovo has decided to integrate a chip from the popular Qualcomm. To be more specific, it has been decided on the Snapdragon 630, with 8 process cores operating at 2,2 GHz frequency. This chip is one of those that came this year 2017 to replace the old Snapdragon 625. Therefore, better resource management and compatible with faster RAM and new LTE networks.
Meanwhile, in the part of RAM memory we find that the Motorola Moto X4 equips 3 GB. It is not the highest figure of the moment. Moreover, perhaps in purely Chinese alternatives you can find models with more memory. But it is true that with pure Android and these 3 GB of RAM the terminal will work very agile.
On the other hand, the storage space offered by the smartphone Motorola has a 32 GB capacity, although you can use MicroSD memory cards up to 2 TB.
Fashionable camera: dual sensor and powerful front camera for 'selfies'
For the premiere of this new Motorola Moto X4 the company has not thought twice. They have bet directly on the winning formula: placing a dual sensor rear camera. In this case we will have one with a resolution of 12 megapixels and another with 8 megapixels. The overall result remains to be seen, but surely it will not leave anyone unmoved. This camera too You will be able to record videos and it will do so at a maximum resolution of 4k at 30 fps.
Meanwhile, the front camera is powerful. And it is that taking selfies is priceless. Hence, the sensor of this camera has 16 megapixel resolution and that is accompanied by a flash.
Connections and operating system
To sell itself well, the Motorola Moto X4 must be up to date. And in the connection section there are no possible complaints. The terminal is compatible with latest generation 4G networks. It also has technologies such as Bluetooth 5.0 (low consumption), high-speed WiFi and NFC (for payments and connecting with compatible accessories). While in physical form, we will have a 3,5 millimeter audio jack and a USB-C port to charge or connect external peripherals.
As for the operating system, Android is the absolute protagonist in the entire Motorola range. In this specific case you will have the version Android 7.1 Nougat. And as we already warned you above: it does not come with a custom layer, it is pure Android.
Autonomy and price
A good mobile must offer, at least, a full day's autonomy without having to go through the plug. This Motorola Moto X4 will. Its battery has a capacity of 3.000 milliamps And let's remember that it doesn't have the largest screen on the market either. In addition, if you are an intensive user and you are one of those who 'drinks' the battery in less than a day, the Motorola Moto X4 enjoys fast charging that will allow you to have 6 hours of extra autonomy with a charge of only 15 minutes.
Finally, the Motorola Moto X4 will go on sale this September in some European markets; later the United States and Asia will arrive. Y its sale price will be 399 euros.
