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.

The Motorola X4 is a good midrange device with numerous pros and several innovative ideas.

At the price points the Moto X4 can be currently bought, we're hard-pressed to find many devices we like more.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
