The Moto X4 will now be a upper-mid range phone. It had a design
similar to the Moto Z but lacked the moto mod connector pins. It also had dual
rear cameras and a glass body. A leaked image showing Motorola’s lineup for the
rest of the year later revealed its name to be Moto X4.
Specification details of the Moto X4 were leaked on
Twitter by Andri Yatim (@HeyAndri). His post was retweeted by @Rquandt, a
popular leakster, lending some sort of credence to the post. According to him,
the Moto X4 will supposedly launch on June 30th. It will have an IP68 rating
(waterproof up to 1.5m for 30 minutes), dual rear cameras, and a glass body. He
also adds that the Snapdragon 660 will power the phone and it will have a
3800 mAh battery with fast charging.
We already know the display is 5.2-inches with a
1080p resolution, and RAM will possibly not be less than 4GB. The Moto X4 does
look like a winner already. The only thing they need to get right is the
pricing.
Whichever one it is, it will likely affect sales of
the Moto Z2 Play which is priced at US$ 435 for the 4GB RAM model if
the difference isn’t much. The X4 has a bigger battery, a more powerful
processor and is fully waterproof, a feature reserved for flagships. And if its
dual rear cameras take excellent pictures, folks may decide to choose it over
the Z2 Play.
