We've been hearing about a new Moto X since May of this year, which was surprising to many since the company didn't release one last year. Initial renders that were leaked had most of the details right, but some were off (the camera module in specific). Then this month the device was approved for sale in Brazil and then shortly after that it passed the FCC certification process. Today, Motorola has officially launched the Moto X4 and we now know the full details of the new smartphone.
The Moto X line holds a special place in a lot of enthusiast's hearts because it was the first flagship series that Motorola released for the short time they were under Google's umbrella. Now, the Moto Z line is the company's premiere flagship series and the Moto X series has been relegated to the mid-range market. This isn't as bad as it could be when you consider the company's original Moto Z Play was mid-range and it received a ton of praise thanks to its stellar battery life.
So the new Moto X4 has a 5.2″ 1080p display with the Snapdragon 630 SoC powering it from the inside. It has 3GBs of RAM and 32GBs of expandable storage with a 3,000mAh capacity battery. The phone comes with a 15 watt TurboPower charger and Motorola states you can get 6 hours of use after a 15-minute charge. The frame is metal and it has a glass back so the company was able to achieve IP68 water and dust resistance which is a huge selling point these days.
The biggest feature in this phone is the dual rear-camera setup. One of these rear camera sensors is 12MP while the other is an 8MP wide-angle shooter, and both of them are able to capture color images (so no monochrome feature here). The main 12MP sensor has dual-pixel autofocus, an f/2.0 lens, and 1.4nm pixels. The secondary camera is able to offer a 120-degree field of view with its f/2.2 lens and 1.12nm pixels. Motorola says they're able to give you those depth effects that are so popular these days thanks to the dual camera setup. The front of the device houses a 16MP camera and includes an "adaptive low-light mode" that Motorola says allows for better low light performance while sacrificing some resolution.
Another big feature here is that Motorola has opted for Amazon Alexa as its virtual assistant of choice so it will be able to respond to "Alexa" voice commands, even when locked. The company says they're launching the Moto X4 in Europe next month (September) for €399, and that it should be made available in the United States sometime this fall.
