The Moto G4 (often stylized as Moto G4) is an Android smartphone developed by Motorola Mobility, a subsidiary of Lenovo. Announced as the successor to the third-generation Moto G, it was released in Brazil and India on May 17, 2016, followed by the United States on June 28, 2016 with introduction to other markets later. The phones will receive Android security patches, but not on a monthly basis.
On February 28, 2017, Lenovo announced its successor, the Moto G5 with a better CPU, more RAM, and more storage.
The Moto G4's hardware design was refreshed, featuring a "water repellent nano-coating", and a camera protrusion. However, unlike the Moto G3, the previous generation, the Moto G4 Plus does not feature IPX7 certification. The device is available in black and white-color versions, with different rear cover and accent colors available for custom order via MotoMaker. The G4 includes a 5.5-inch 1080p display, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 system-on-chip, and 2/3 GB of RAM. The Moto G4 includes either 16 or 32 GB of internal storage. There is also a dedicated memory storage slot to expanded memory up to 128 GB via MicroSDXC. The device also comes with Moto Actions which supports and responds to motions and gestures. It has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, and an FM radio receiver. The Moto G4 also supports 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity. The device ships with Android 6.0.1 "Marshmallow". It features 'Turbopower' charging that gives up to six hours of battery life after just 15 minutes of charging. On December 29, 2016 Moto G4 users in India reported that their devices had begun receiving an OTA update to Android 7.0 "Nougat". News sites were later able to confirm that this was indeed a rollout, and not a soak test.
