Moto E4 Plus was launched in India on Wednesday. The company has informed that it Flipkart But it will be available at Rs 9,999. Moto E4 smartphone was also launched in the event. By the way, it has been available in the offline market since last month. The price of Moto E4 is Rs 8,999. We got a chance to use both the Moto E4 models in the launch event. At first glance, these smartphones looked like this to us.

There are some differences between the two models. The Moto E4 Plus has a 5.5-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) display while the Moto E4 has a 5-inch HD screen. Due to the difference in size, the display on the Moto E4 looks crisper than the Plus variant. The most important feature of the Moto E4 Plus is its 5000 mAh battery, while the smaller variant comes with a 2800 mAh battery.

Talking about other specifications, Moto E4 Plus has 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Whereas, Moto E4 has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. Storage can be expanded via microSD card in both models. Both handsets run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box. In the limited time spent with the handset, we did not notice any major performance issues. However, only a few apps were available in the unit kept on display.

Moto E4 Plus has a 13 megapixel rear camera while Moto E4 comes with an 8 megapixel sensor on the rear. Both handsets have 5 megapixel sensors on the front. The pictures taken from the front camera of both handsets look good at first glance. However, the performance of the rear camera can be termed as average.

Compared to the older Moto E generation phones, the design of the Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus is worth noting. Both phones have a metal body and a circular camera module at the back. This camera module has now become the trademark design of the Moto lineup. The Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus feel sturdy in the hands, but not very premium. However, considering the price, most users can ignore this shortcoming.

The Moto E4 measures 144.5x72x9.3mm and weighs 150 grams. On the other hand, the Moto E4 Plus is longer and thicker due to the bigger battery and display. Its dimensions are 155×77.5×9.55mm and it weighs 181 grams. However, there is no problem in using either of them in the hand. Now let’s talk about the navigation feature of Moto One. Both phones have a home button on the front panel which is also a fingerprint sensor. Using this, you will be able to use the Android interface with one hand. Although this feature will be useful in many situations, it will not be easy for everyone to get used to it.

At this price point, the Moto E4 will compete with the Xiaomi Redmi 4 and Yu Eureka Black. The Moto E4 Plus will face competition from the InFocus Turbo 5, Lenovo K6 Power and Asus Zenfone 3 Max.
