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.
