In a time of giant bezel screen, compact phones are a rarity. Even rare is a
powerful mid-range compact phone which is a power users wet dream. Thankfully
moto attempted to fill up that vacuum with the Moto X4 last year. The phone
came with a premium glass and metal design, a powerful mid-range Snapdragon
chipset and 4GB of RAM. But a phone with 4GB RAM couldn't be taken
seriously as a power users phone. So moto went ahead and launched another variant
with 6 GB of memory and that's just about it. On the software part, the phone
will run on Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box which is quite expected. We had
reviewed the older Moto X4 and found it quite underwhelming,
despite appreciating the premium compact design. While there were speculations
that the upcoming Moto X4 will have entirely new and upgraded hardware
inside, just a RAM upgrade seems quite disappointing. The upgraded Moto X4 costs
2,000 rupees more than the 4 GB variant. So what gives so? We ran a set of
benchmarks on the new Moto X 4 and compared them to the scores we got on
the old one. As you can see there are some improvements in the benchmark
scores. But does this translate to improvements in the real world.
Straight off more RAM means the phone will have more memory to do more things
simultaneously. You can keep more apps open in the background. You can also
perform intensive tasks like editing photos, playing games and more. You can
see less slowdown and fewer crashes on the phone. But then again my guess is
that the increase in RAM has less to do with performance and more to do with
impressing the spec enthusiasts. If you power on the phone and immediately see
the amount of free RAM available, you will notice that the 6 GB RAM variant
has more free memory while the 4 GB RAM variant has less free memory. However
after a few apps have been opened and the phone has been used a bit, the
percentage of RAM free are almost the same on the two variants. That's odd as
Android Oreo is more lightweight and should take up less memory than Android
Nougat. For some reason the RAM usage is more on the Moto X4 6 GB than the
Moto X4 4 GB. Perhaps the improvements that moto has made to the UI requires
more memory to function smoothly. Moto has also added a new motor action called
attentive display. What happens is if you are looking at the display of your
smartphone and you have set the display to go to sleep for, let's say 15 seconds,
the display is not going to go to sleep. This is because the front-facing camera
knows that you are looking at the display and the display will be on
because you are let's say reading an article or reading a book and the minute
you look away, the display is going to go to sleep. The rest of the Moto actions
including moto voice and moto display use a low-power always-on chip to
function. Moto voice is the localized voice
assistant in the phone which uses show-me commands to open apps and
perform tasks even when the phone is asleep. Now Moto's Moto actions may seem
like blow to air to some. But they are some of the smartest and intuitive
features on this phone. The extra memory is also used for split screen apps to
run smoother. But it's like you won't notice any significant difference. If you
already have the old 4 GB variant of the Moto X4 then you really don't need to
upgrade to the new 6 GB one. But truth be told, it's always great to have more RAM.
This is especially helpful when the smartphone is stressed or if you are
running multiple apps together some heavy apps gaming or even multitasking.
The only reason to upgrade to the new Moto X 4 is probably that camera. Moto
has improved the image quality and there's reason to believe. The upgraded
Moto X4 has a better camera than the older one. To start with
there has been some improvements in the image quality in the upgraded moto X for
the details are sharper and the contrast is toned down a bit.
The phone has the same 120 degrees wide-angle lens of 8MP
resolution and the barrel distortion remains unchanged. Independent of its
predecessor, the Moto X4's camera is commendable for its image quality. The F
2.0 primary lens takes photos that are punchy and tend to pop out. You can say
the results are more pleasing to the eye and less true the source.
However the camera is still one of the slowest in the market. While even budget
phones have cameras with zero shutter lag, the camera on the Moto X4 takes
more than a second to shoot a photo. The shutter lag increases under low light.
The issue was present in the older Moto X4 as well and is somewhat render the
camera unusable in situations where you have to take a photo quickly. The depth
enabled mode uses the dual camera to leverage depth of field. But the outcome
is more like a Snapseed filter with inconsistent blurring around the edges.
Apart from this the Moto X4 camera also has a bunch of face filters if you
are into that kind of stuff. Now it's not as accurate as the Honor 9i but it gets
the job done. And the funny thing is that the older 4 GB variant of the Moto X
4 is going to get all the new camera features that we've seen on the new 6 GB
Moto X4 when that device receives the Android Oreo update. The camera and the
RAM upgrade apart the Moto X4 now comes with Android Oreo out of the box.
This brings in the default set of new features including picture-in-picture,
notification management and more. You can also control the color temperature of
the display, something that was not there in the older variant. More importantly
the new Moto X 4 is more secure as it's running
latest Android security patch. There isn't any facial upgrade to the new moto
X4 though both are indistinguishable from the other. The 3D glass back encased
in a metal frame and the added heft are all there. It is also a compact phone
with a 5.2 inch 1080p display which are quite rare these days. Everything except
the extra 2GB of RAM and the UI are the same including the battery. So the
question remains, should you spend the extra two thousand rupees on the new
Moto X4? Well if you want access to the new moto actions on the new camera
features before anyone else, then go ahead. But remember that the older Moto X
4 will get these features in the Android Oreo update. Also we think that these
features will be a staple for all moto phones in 2018 starting with the Moto G
6 which is expected to be unveiled at MWC which kicks off at the end of Feb. So
if you want to pay 24,999 for this device or wait for a cheaper moto device
with these features, it's your call. As always you can let us
