Moto X4 deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

90	Android Headlines | Alexander Maxham The Moto X4 does everything a flagship does, for less. If you are in need of a small smartphone, or one that does the basics and has a good camera, and also lasts all day long, then yes the Moto X4 is definitely worth purchasing. If you purchase it, you likely won't regret it. Read full review
86	NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer The Motorola X4 is a good midrange device with numerous pros and several innovative ideas. Read full review
82	phoneArena | Corey G. At the price points the Moto X4 can be currently bought, we're hard-pressed to find many devices we like more. Read full review
82	ZDNet | Matthew Miller The Moto X4 offers up a very well constructed device without Moto Mods support and I find it very appealing. While I have always been a fan of the Moto X line, I would probably look to the Moto G5S Plus before I picked the Moto X4. Read full review
81	Android Authority | Lanh Nguyen The Moto X4 brings the Android One Program and Project Fi into a simple package with very little frills. While it may not sound like the most exciting device on paper, the Moto X4's true appeal is its affordable price, timely updates, and how it will make Project Fi more easily accessible to consumers.

80	AndroidPit | Luca Zaninello There is only one unjustifiable thing about this smartphone and it is the lack of power that would have made the Moto X4 a worthy heir of previous models. Read full review
80	The Inquirer | Lee Bell All-in-all, we'd have to say the Moto X4 is a worthy contender in the budget smartphone market. You get quite the bang for your buck when you consider how much the phone retails for SIM-free. Read full review
80	The Economic Times | Hitesh Raj Bhagat The X4 brings IP68 water/dust resistance (almost no other device at this price has it), a very beautiful glass-aluminium design, dual rear camera with wide-angle plus portrait, stock Android and a fast fingerprint scanner. Read full review
80	NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo We're quite happy with what Lenovo has done with the Moto X4. It looks and feels great, and has plenty of useful features such as the Moto suite of gestures, and proper waterproofing. The Moto X4 is a good pick if you're looking for good looks, decent performance and water resistance in a compact body. Read full review
80	CNET UK | Lynn La Though it can be slow at times, the Motorola Moto X4 hits all the notes for the right price, making it a worthy midrange contender. An awesome midrange Android phone. Read full review
80	PC Mag | Ajay Kumar The Motorola Moto X4 phone combines midrange specs with a solid design, dual rear cameras, and built-in support for Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. Read full review
80	Recombu | Chris Barraclough Motorola's X series smartphones are back, with enough of a bang to make us glad for their return. While the Moto G5s and G5s Plus offer strong value for money, the Moto X4 delivers plenty of worthy extras to make an upgrade worth considering. Read full review
80	PCWorld | Florence Ion Want to wield one of the best Android smartphones without breaking the bank? The Moto X4 on Project Fi is a formidable option because it offers all the stability of Android One in a seriously good-looking package. Read full review
80	Wired | Jeffrey Van Camp There are plenty of Android phones that will outshine the Moto X4, but at the price that Amazon Prime offers, it's a sincere step up from the Moto G5 Plus and half the price of the Google Pixel 2 and Samsung Galaxy S8. Sadly, neither of those compelling phones let you shake your phone like a madman to turn on the flashlight. Read full review
80	Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman The Moto X4 falls right in the middle of Motorola's roster. It shares its price with the Z2 Play, which is compatible with Moto Mods. I'd recommend the X4 to those who want an unlocked phone from Motorola and aren't interested in investing in the Mods ecosystem. It's a classier handset that covers the basics with style. Read full review
80	Stuff | Andrew Williams Moto muscles back into the mid-range with X appeal. Top drawer design at a sensible price, but the Honor 9 is still the value king in this class. Read full review
80	Mashable | Pete Pachal Motorola's 'basic' phone is a good value for its price. Despite a few annoyances, the sleekly designed Moto X4 gives you a lot of bang for not that many bucks. Read full review
80	SlashGear | Chris Burns Android One champions the midrange for Project Fi. If this quality is what we can expect for the future, I won't hesitate to recommend Android One as the must-have label for Android smartphone users of all sorts, until further notice. Read full review
76	Firstpost | Rehan Hooda Moto X4 is another impressive device by Lenovo that offers great near-stock Android software experience along with optimised battery performance. The device could handle anything that I threw at it. Read full review
75	Neowin | Rich Woods In other words, Motorola does make something for every price point, and they're great phones. I've recommended Moto G devices to countless friends and they love them. I do think that the Moto X4 will be one that I recommend, if they're willing to spend a few extra dollars. Read full review
70	Gadgets Now | Aabhas Sharma The Moto X4 is a phone that won't have you complaining over anything except maybe the camera. However, the albatross around its neck is the price. Read full review
70	91mobiles | Prateek Pandey I feel like that the X4 is a good in-between device for people who don't want to invest in a flagship but want a solid all-rounder at the same time. Read full review
70	Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy The Moto X4 is a compact, stylish handset at a price that's temptingly short of the current flagship crop. However, there are several rough edges that have us questioning its position in Motorola's increasingly crowded range. Read full review
70	Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe On the one hand we welcome the X back to the fold, on the other it needed to be pushing the flagship stakes as the non-Moto Mod device. When it hits that form, it could once again be the business. In the here and now, however, the Moto X4 simply doesn't live up to its predecessors' high-ranking abilities. Read full review
70	Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu Solid performance, daylong battery life, and an attractive, water-resistant body. Regardless of what model you choose, you're getting a stock or near stock Android experience with solid performance. Still, we can't recommend the OnePlus 5 enough. Read full review
70	Android Central | Julian Chokkattu Solid performance, daylong battery life, and an attractive, water-resistant body. For its price, it's a good option over most of the budget options below it. Read full review
70	Tom's Guide | Adam Ismail The Moto X4 Android One is a great lower-cost entry point for Google's wireless service, but it makes compromises other phones don't. Read full review
60	Australian PC World | Fergus Halliday Though its perfectly servicable for the most part, the Moto X4 is defined more by the things that are absent from its feature-set rather than those that are present. Read full review
60	TechRadar | Mark Knapp The Moto X4 makes it clear that the true successor to the Moto X line is the Moto Z line. It's a mid-range phone with Android One and Google Fi, but otherwise a small upgrade from a Moto G5 Plus or Moto G5S Plus, with a bump in price that sits in the awkward middle of Motorola's flagship and budget phones.
