“The G4 is still a really solid budget smartphone. But I can't recommend it as loudly or as happily as I could recommend the original Moto G, nor is it the cheapest decent phone you can buy. Consumers could do worse, but Lenovo could do better.”

“Previous Moto Gs were great phones, but a few specs always seemed below what other phones in the class offered. The Gs made up for it with things few others offered - stereo speakers on the G2, waterproofing on the G3. Now the Moto G4 has caught up with the competition in most technical aspects - mainly a faster chipset and a sharp, beautiful screen - while keeping up the build quality and the rare perks.”

“If you're looking for budget then Motorola continues to rule, its £170 price point hard to ignore for a phone that will handle most things you care to throw at it. Sure, it's a bit slow to load apps, but the octo-core processor and graphics on board can handle most games without stuttering, while the middling power and so-so screen resolution/brightness mean effective battery life throughout the day.”

“The budget-phone segment is becoming increasingly competitive, with a number of sub-$200 phones now offering long battery life, increased durability or some combination of attractive features. Lenovo's enhancements to the Moto G4 keep that phone near the front of the budget pack.”

Lost all my data, contact's n #s. Cricket store said they fixed it. Instead I got slammed and Cricket refused to help. If I wanted help I'd have to get court order. Will never trust another Google Motorola phone.

Hi, I just restarted my phone and it said hello Moto. I'd like it to say hello with my name instead of Moto. Please consider this in future updates like the guy suggested. Thanks

According to other users, on older Motorola Droid phones, it uses the notification sound. Have you tried that? Other than that, if you want to changes startup animation/sound, you will have to root your phone first and locate the startup video/photo/sound then replace it with one you customized.

Looks like Jio SIM is not compatible with the phone. After trying Jio SIM, have you tried using the Idea SIM again?

Go to Settings > Display > Sleep. Adjust it to more if you don't want the phone timing out fast.

In that case, I suggest that you use 3rd party home launcher apps. Most have option to adjust font size.

Do you mean you want to block a contact? If so, simply install a call blocking app.

Hi RoyB. Motorola Moto G4 can't display 3D videos. Well it will play, but 3D won't work.

I was not clear.  I need the contact information for Motorola so that I can get my phone repaired or replaced under the 1 year warranty.

Thank you,

Ken
