Lenovo and Motorola Mobility are getting ready to
release a new edition of the Moto X4, at least in India. According to Motorola
India, the upcoming Moto X4 smartphone runs Android 8 Oreo out of the box,
being "faster, smarter, and sharper" than the 2017 model. At launch,
last year's Moto X4 - pictured above - ran Android 7 Nougat, though an update
to Android Oreo is now available for it.
While Motorola isn't confirming this, additional
sources have it that the Moto X4 2018 should feature 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of
storage space. A superior processor (Snapdragon 636 instead of Snapdragon 630)
could also be on board. Depending on market, the current X4 offers 3 GB of RAM
paired with 32 GB of storage space, or 4 GB of RAM paired with 64 GB of storage
space. Thus, the new Moto X4 should bring a RAM boost of at least 2 GB - enough
to make it faster.
The "all new Moto X4", as Motorola is
calling it, will go on sale in India on February 1, for a price that isn't
known yet. It's not clear if the upgraded smartphone will also be released in
the US, but we don't see why it shouldn't.
As previously reported, a mysterious Motorola Moto
X5 may also be in the making, although this will probably not be available
before the second half of 2018.
