Moto G4 look and feel is very identical to the Moto G4 Plus. Only difference is there is no fingerprint scanner in the front. Apart from this it is very difficult to differentiate. It measures 15.3 x 0.8 x 7.7 cm and weighs 154 grams. The whole body is made up of good quality plastic.

Moto G4 houses 13MP primary camera with LED flash and 5MP front facing camera. It lacks the laser auto focus system. Camera performance was decent in good lighting condition. When we compare it with Moto G4 Plus camera, Moto G4 camera struggles a bit in artificial light and low light conditions. Also the colour accuracy is not as great as Moto G4 Plus.
Moto G4 is powered by 3000mAh battery. In my usage, battery lasted one full day which included 30 minutes gaming, 1 and half hour of calls, Wifi and 3G/4G data usage most of the time. It also comes with Turbo charger which charges the battery pretty quickly.
