Moto G4 Plus deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti The display is great, the curved back makes it easy to hold and watch media and the battery just goes on and on and on. The Moto G4 Plus ticks all the boxes for what you would need from your next handset- yes, it is a bit more rough and ready than sparkly and glamorous and it might be too big for some but it will be difficult to find a more capable device than this, for the price point.

100	Trusted Reviews | Evan Kypreos It's big, but the Moto G4 Plus is outstanding and adds some high-end flair to a budget champion. Read full review
100	Stuff | Andrew Williams Not everyone needs this Plus upgrade, but it still swoops into our hearts as one of our favourite mid-range smartphones... Fast charging, a better screen and a pretty good camera make this mid-ranger easy to recommend. Read full review
94	TechAeris | Jason Bouwmeester If you're looking for a close to stock Android smartphone with great battery life, a decent camera, and a larger screen, the Moto G4 Plus should be on your consideration list. Read full review
90	Australian PC World | Nick Ross It's not much of a looker but its a great performer. Specs and features are high end and the price stays low. Camera performance could be better though. Read full review
90	Recombu | Chris Barraclough The G4 Plus' major advantage is that front-mounted fingerprint sensor... Compared with other mid-range mobiles, the Moto G4 Plus is definitely an impressive beast. The camera tech, battery life and everyday experience is easily a match for the rivals, for instance, although anyone not sold on larger handsets should probably look elsewhere. Read full review
86	Engadget | Devindra Hardawar The Moto G4 Plus finally brings a great camera into Motorola's budget lineup. It's decently fast for the price, though the build quality might not last years of use. Read full review
85	NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer A really good mainstream smartphone, which can definitely justify the small additional charge over the base model... Overall, the Moto G4 Plus clearly deserves a purchase recommendation, especially since you can customize your smartphone with the MotoMaker. Read full review
83	Android Authority | Lanh Nguyen The Moto G4 Plus brings with it a slew of much needed improvements to the Moto G range, and while there are some questionable design choices, this is definitely an impressive smartphone for the price. Read full review
82	pocketnow | Juan Carlos Bagnell The Moto G4 and G4 Plus are great little phones... these phones more than handle the basics, and provide very good value for the money you might spend. Read full review
80	Gadgets Now | Riyana Lama Moto G4 Plus is a value-for-money smartphone ... but Lenovo ZUK Z1 gives you a powerful Snapdragon 801 processor paired with 3GB RAM at the same price. Read full review
80	AndroidPit | Sergio Colado The Moto G4 Plus squeezes everything possible out of its $300 price tag; few complaints can be directed to this phone for the price. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Simon Hill The Moto G4 Plus is an impressive phone for the money and yet more evidence that the gap between flagships and budget smartphones is still closing. Read full review
80	ZDNet | Matthew Miller There are some excellent choices today for buyers looking for affordable and functional smartphones. If Android Pay is not an issue for you, then you may want to visit the Moto Maker site and customize your own G4 or G4 Plus. The better camera and increased RAM option may be worth the extra price for the G4 Plus, but the G4 is also a very capable device that should satisfy the masses. Read full review
80	Digital Trends | Kyle Wiggers The Moto G4 Plus is Motorola's best budget phone to date Read full review
80	Tom's Guide | Sam Rutherford With strong battery life, a sharp 16-megapixel camera and a big and bright 5.5-inch screen, the G4 Plus is a solid, wallet-friendly phone. Read full review
80	Mashable | Raymond Wong The Moto G4 and G4 Plus are both solid budget phones, but the G4 Plus nets you a better camera and a fingerprint sensor. Read full review
80	V3 | Matt Farrington-Smith If you liked everything about the Moto G4 you'll find a lot to love here because the G4 Plus is essentially the same phone. But do those added extras justify the higher price? We're a bit on the fence here. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe We still very much like the G4 Plus, but if you're after a truly budget purchase then, as it turns out, the standard Moto G4 does the majority of what you'll need just fine. Read full review
80	IT PRO | Alan Lu It's not as good value as the non-Plus Moto G and even better phones are available for not much more cash, but it's still a very good smartphone... If you're tempted by the Moto G4 Plus purely because of its allegedly better camera, then you shouldn't bother.... The only thing that should tempt you to opt for the Plus is its fingerprint reader. Read full review
80	CNET UK | Andrew Hoyle The Moto G4 Plus adds a fingerprint sensor and slightly better camera to the mix, but its cheaper sibling is still the better deal... It's a solid all-rounder for texts, emails and Instagrams that will leave you plenty of cash in the bank to splash on sweets or cookies or whatever you kids are into these days. Read full review
80	Mobile Syrup | Rose Behar All in all, the G4 Plus was what I expected it to be: not the phone you want, but the phone you need... Its downsides – overheating leading to potential degradation of battery, slightly dinky computing power, no NFC – don't amount to a deal breaker for me. Read full review
80	Alphr | Jonathan Bray Yes, the camera is better, and yes, you do get a fingerprint reader – oh, and there's a more powerful mains charger in the box that lets you charge the phone more quickly... But compare it directly with its sibling, which is damned near as good and available for so much less, and it's a considerably less appealing purchase. Read full review
80	The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs The new Moto G4 has lost a bit of the charm that made the previous Moto Gs delightful and has grown considerably in size, but is a step up in terms of overall quality. It has a good screen, a day's battery, decent performance and cameras, plus a microSD slot and dual Sim support if you need it.... The biggest problem, however, is that the new Moto G is no longer quite as cheap as its predecessors. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne That said, the Moto G4 Plus is still a great phone in its own right, as it's considerably faster than most other phones in the price range... The Moto G4 Plus doesn't offer quite enough to make it a viable upgrade... Read full review
80	Android Central | Daniel Bader Lenovo's first full cycle with the Moto brand seems to be off to a good start, at least with the most powerful variant, the Moto G Plus. While the device shares a number of hardware specs with other Moto Brad phones, a slimmer, more approachable design, and the addition of a fingerprint sensor, make this one of the best devices in its class. Read full review
80	NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo The phone packs in a much needed SoC upgrade which keeps the latest version of Android running smoothly, a fingerprint sensor, a good camera for daylight photography, and all-day battery life. This makes it a very good option in this price range. Read full review
76	MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti ...the fingerprint isn't the fastest, or the most accurate, nor is it in my favourite place, the camera is decent but not mind blowing, and I'm one of those weirdos who can live with 16gb of storage because I store nearly everything in the cloud. But for the first time in 3 years, the Moto G is not an Insta-buy, and that makes me sad. Read full review
70	Firstpost | Kunal Khullar If you are looking for a balance of quality rather than high-end performance, the Moto G4 Plus is the option to go for. Read full review
70	TechSpot | Tim Schiesser The Moto G4 Plus is more expensive than both the current Moto G4 and last year's Moto G, but it does feature some unique upgrades and features. However, for all the good things this handset provides, I'm not convinced it's worth the extra cash. Read full review
70	GadgetSpeak | mfereday While not the latest version of the Moto family, this fourth generation does have an interesting feature set with its combination of performance and price point. Read full review
70	phoneArena | Stephen S. Maybe if the Moto G4 Plus let us graduate to a speedier chip, or if things like the fingerprint scanner were standard even on the entry-level, the phones [G4 and G4 plus] would compare slightly more favorably to the rest of the Android pack. Right now they're still both pretty good phones – they just exist in a world where some better-equipped models are just around the corner. Read full review
70	The Inquirer | Matt Farrington-Smith The Moto G4 Plus is not as essential as the more affordable Moto G4, but there's still a lot to like Read full review
70	International Business Times | Agamoni Ghosh The Moto G has always been a best-seller and the Moto G4 Plus' specifications and pricing also indicate Lenovo has a top-seller on its hands. The camera with its breadth of features is surely something you are not going to get at this price range in other handsets and is the highlight of the phone. Read full review
68	The Verge | Vlad Savov The Moto G could have been a great budget phone. It has a splendid display, a no-nonsense build, and many of the basic building blocks required. But it's left me frustrated and annoyed because, unlike the original G, this new Moto has not been thought through or designed in any meaningful way. Read full review
60	Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman The Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are the result of that unemotional, business-driven reflex. They are soulless phones that have been stripped of the heart Motorola put into the first three generations of G-branded handsets. Read full review
