It comes in Black and White colors, and will be exclusively available on Amazon India starting tonight. The Moto G4 will go on sale next month, but there is no details on pricing yet.
A couple of days back, live images claimed to be of Moto G4 Plus in black surfaced online, and now press render of the phone in white color has hit the inter-web courtesy of Evan Blass (@evleaks). Blass also confirms that the blurry image which was leaked earlier this month is of Moto G4 Plus and not Moto X 2016.
The Moto G4 Plus will have a square shaped home button below the display, which doubles as fingerprint scanner. Design-wise, the phone will have a plastic back and metal frame. At the back the rear camera w/ flash and laser auto-focus sensor is enclosed in a pill-shaped module and below it, there is the Moto batwing logo. There are two microphones visible, one near the home button and the other at rear near the camera.
According to earlier leak the Moto G4 Plus will have a 5.5-inch display, 16GB internal storage and 16-megapixel rear camera. There is also a standard Moto G4 model with 5.5-inch display, 16GB storage, but a 13-megapixel camera. Both are expected to come in White and Black colors.
Motorola's popular mid-range 'Moto G' series is about to be expanded soon. Possible images of the next gen Moto G smartphone, reportedly called Moto G4 Plus have surface online.
The image shows that the Moto G4 Plus has a square shaped physical home button, which could double up as a fingerprint scanner. Also there is a small hole near the home button which is the microphone.
At the back, we can see the camera module, and just below it there is an dual-LED flash module. There are two dots above the camera, which could be Laser Auto focus. The camera setup looks similar to what we have seen on earlier Moto devices. The Moto batwing logo also stays at the back.
It is worth noting that, an earlier leaked image claimed to show the Moto X3, resembles the Moto G4 Plus seen in the new image.
Meanwhile, a separate leak suggests that there will be two Moto G4 models. The standard model Moto G4 will have a 5.5-inch display, 16GB inbuilt storage and 13-megapixel rear camera. The model which is in the image, the Moto G4 Plus will also have 5.5-inch display and 16GB internal storage, but will sports a higher 16-megapixel rear camera.
The leak also adds that the Moto G4 will be priced 240 Euro ($271 | Rs. 18,000) , while the Moto G4 Plus will cost 280 Euro ($316 | Rs. 21,000), which is much higher than the earlier Moto G models. The official announcement of these phones are expected in May.
