![]() ![]() Its squat, square shape looks rather odd compared to other front-facing sensors I've seen, such as those on Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Apple's iPhone 6S, as it looks and feels a lot smaller than either Samsung or Apple's respective contact points. The latter is relatively straightforward, as this gives the Moto G4 Plus an extra layer of security, allowing you to unlock the phone with your fingerprint rather than a swipe pattern, passcode or PIN number. Instead, the main difference between the Moto G4 and the Moto G4 Plus is its rear camera and additional fingerprint sensor on the front. Short version: you simply can't do much better, even when the Moto G4 Plus costs £60 on top of its the standard's low £169 price. It has the same 5.5in 1,920x1,080 resolution display, the same weight and dimensions, the same octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 chipset, and the same 3,000mAh battery – all of which produced identical results to the regular Moto G4 in our tests, so go and have a read of our Moto G4 review to get a better idea of how it stacks up against other budget smartphones. In fact, it's exactly the same size and in most respects shares the same components as its £169 sibling. Unlike every other phone with the word 'Plus' in its name, the G4 Plus isn’t actually any bigger than the regular Moto G4. The speaker at the top has a subtle metallic highlight around it and there's a raised, small, square fingerprint sensor at the bottom.The new Moto G4 is utterly fantastic, but this year Motorola's releasing not one, but two different variations of the Moto G, the second being the rather confusingly named Moto G4 Plus. There's a tough, smoothly curved plastic frame around the glass front. This is an unashamedly plastic smartphone with a large, 5.5-inch display. It's like the first-generation Moto G has been put in a press, shaving a few millimetres off its girth and stretching the screen by an inch. We've come a long way from the original, chubby Moto G, but the G4 Plus is still unmistakably related. The Moto G4 Play is the runt of the litter at £115.98 ($99.99, around AU$135), while the Moto G4 now sells for £149 ($149.99, around AU$200). Only the 16GB with storage with 2GB of RAM option is available in the the UK, with the US handset also offering a 64GB storage + 4GB of RAM option for a Moto G4 Plus price of $269 (opens in new tab) (down from $299.99 since launch). Thing is, it's now been reduced to just £184.99 (opens in new tab) in the UK, making the G4 Plus looking like an even better bet - on paper at least. The Moto G4 Plus is the most expensive of Moto's G4 trio, with an initial price tag of £199 ( $249 (opens in new tab), around AU$325). If you're interested in the best cheap phones available, this is one of the best, though the competition is heating up with entries like the LG Q6. Android Oreo is confirmed to be coming to this phone later in the year, which is great news for those who are looking for a cheaper phone, or want to stick with this one for a while longer. However, the Moto G5 Plus and, if you're interested in photography and a more premium design, the Moto G5S Plus are both better choices.īut if you're not ready to take the leap, don't fret. ![]() Update: The Moto G4 Plus is still one of the most well-rounded smartphones you can purchase if you're on a budget or otherwise. Is that really enough to justify the price bump? Let's take a closer look. ![]()
