All in all, the Moto X4 has got the perfect innards for a powerful mid ranger and I would also say its a no nonsense approach by Motorola in terms of the performance. The competition in the mid range segment is a heated and cut to cut one where one wrong move renders your device incompetent. Fortunately for Motorola, the Moto X4 is right there in the thick of battle.

Camera –
Motorola cameras have been among the finer options when it comes to smartphones, and its actually one area where they have claimed a hands-down victory over the rather hot selling Redmi devices. The Moto X4 is no different. What we have on hand is a dual camera setup with a 12 MP (f/2.0, 1.4 µm, PDAF, dual pixel) + 8 MP (f/2.2, 1.12 µm, no AF) combo, which by the way does a stellar job with the picture quality and depth. Some images do pick up some noise but not so much that would cause any real bother. The video capture section allows 2160p recording at 30 fps while you can also record at Full HD at both 60fps and 30fps.
For all the selfie lovers, the Moto X4 features a 16 MP selfie snapper which also allows Full HD recording. Whats more, you also get a front facing flash, which should give you stunning selfies in pitch darkness too.
Overall, the Media section has been completely aced by Motorola. Theres are no real complains considering the segment it falls in and the specifications on paper. Motorola also does Moto Mods now, so that should give your already awesome smartphone camera a bump up.
Battery –
This is where I feel Motorola could have done better. They have stuck to the 3000 mAh component for far too long now, and I believe its time they pack a beefier battery in their smartphones. 4000 mAh seems to be the magic number these days and I feel adding that to their lineup will give motorola a super edge above its competition.
If its any consolation, the Moto X4 features Quick charging, which should give you a solution should your device run out of juice in the middle of something important. But its not a permanent solution. Just get a better battery in there Motorola !!
Anyways, coming to the component at hand, the device should give you around a day’s worth of use on a single charge, but I believe it will ask for a recharge by late evening. If you are a heavy user, I suggest you keep a power bank handy.
