It’s technically not even out yet, but the Moto G4 Plus goes $50 off list on Amazon

It’s raining fourth-gen Motorola Moto G deals stateside even before the mid-range 5.5-incher can start shipping to folks who’ve pre-ordered it across retailers like Best Buy, B&H and Amazon. All we have to say to that is “let it rain”, and wonder where do we sign up for the sweetest special offers?As far as the non-Plus, non-fingerprint-recognizing, 2GB RAM-limited, 13MP rear camera configuration goes, it’s ...

Pre-order Moto G4 or G4 Plus from Best Buy or B&H, get free $50 gift card

After losing the own-brand low-cost domestic battle to Xiaomi and Huawei, Lenovo is more than keen to keep Motorola phones at the forefront of the sub-$250 US scene at the very least, baking pretty robust specs into the Moto G4 and G4 Plus.Even better, the two respectable mid-rangers are offered at a cool discount right off the bat stateside, although technically, you have a pair of third-party retailers to thank for the limited-time promo. Both Best Buy and B&H Photo Video will throw in ...

Components spotted on Zauba hint at Moto G4 specs

It feels kinda uncomfortable using the “Moto G4” moniker, given that Motorola typically goes for the “Xth Gen.” suffix on the back of new Moto G offerings, but it’s good enough for a shorthand when blathering on about it.A bigger name game comes down to its internal codename, speculated to be “Athene”. Quite a few components for said Athene smartphone ...

Motorola previews Moto G4 with better battery, camera, and security in India

Actual Moto G4 photos surface, starring front-fitted fingerprint sensor and redesigned rear

As much as we appreciate any valuable piece of information revealed in advance of a high-profile mobile product launch, especially one hailing from Twitter’s most prolific tipster, the recent Moto G4 Plus fingerprint scanner “leak” wasn’t accompanied by the greatest visual confirmation.But now we have our concrete proof, and while there’s no way to verify the validity of just-divulged “Moto G 2016” live pics, they sure fit last week’s description, and look overall trustworthy. ...

Motorola ‘Moto G4 Plus’ tipped to replace bottom front speaker with fingerprint sensor

‘Tis the season for Motorola product leaks. After all, Lenovo’s daughter company has remained one of very few mobile industry veterans with not a single hardware launch to its name this year.Based on previous roadmaps, we’d obviously expect the third-generation Moto E (by Lenovo) to come to light first, followed closely by a fourth-gen Moto G and Moto X Style, aka Pure Edition, sequel. But we still know very little about the three purported phones, so either they’re not exactly around the corner or leaksters and tipsters will soon be put out of their jobs.Hot on the heels of a Moto ...

Motorola Moto G (2nd gen) gets updated to Marshmallow in India

Without a doubt, the champion of Android 6.0 software promotions thus far is Motorola, despite its relations with Google understandably cooling after Lenovo’s acquisition. But the Illinois-based smartphone manufacturer maintains the OS as clean as ever, adding little to no bloat in the equation, and therefore, completing optimization work way ahead of the competition.While Samsung, for instance, is yet to make the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Marshmallow updates truly global affairs, Moto’s ...
