Motorola - Moto G Plus (4th Generation) 4G LTE with 16GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Black

For the price you pay, you get pretty decent specs and a firm build, along with a pretty large screen and Android Marshmallow or Nougat coming out of the box

I've only had this device for a week and it has already impressed me. The fact that it doesnt have all the bloatware on it like my previous Android devices makes an obvious difference in performance. I especially like the fact that I haven't had to sit here and go through removing tons of background items and change developer options just to try and improve performance. It has all the flexibility you need and expect, and starts with a clean slate to make it all your own. Best part... It was $250. I could buy 3 of these for the price of an S7 or iPhone 6s. Unlocked, no contract, no obligations, and I could freely switch networks if I choose. My wife has an S6 currently and now wants one of these phones next.

I purchased this phone for my father because he wanted a good, yet affordable cell phone. We ended up deciding on the Moto G4 Plus because it had an above average camera and a fingerprint sensor. The camera, both from personal use and online reviews, has shown to be a step up from other mid-level phones. I was also surprised to see an auto-HDR option, which should help improve the image quality for those that aren't used to adjusting settings themselves. The fingerprint sensor works great, just as quickly and accurately as the one on a Nexus 5x. The rest of the phone is also top notch considering the $250 cost. Nice 1080p screen which IMO is the perfect balance between high resolution, performance, and power usage. 1440 is overkill and has a negative impact on CPU performance and battery life. The phone also feels fast, no lag or stuttering, thanks largely to the fact that Lenovo (Motorola) did not add a lot of bloatware and apps to the phone. Stock, or near stock, Android provides a much better overall user experience than the bloated skins Samsung, HTC, and others use. Overall, this phone isn't targeted toward power users and heavy gamers, but it'll be a great option for 95% of smart phone users out there.

First, you can use this for ANY carrier. It is GSM and CDMA compatible and I've used both on this phone. There are limitations. Wish it was 32 gb not 16gb. The camera is great. It charges fast and holds battery. The finger print recognition is useless to me. Could use more RAM. Otherwise great phone for the money... Former Verizon, Sprint employee +5yrs.

This phone is easy to use and is much more enjoyable than my old Galaxy 3. Battery life is good. I usually get about two days on a charge with moderate use, plus it charges fast. The camera is great! I'm no longer a slave to the big cellular company's and can change to any carrier at any time. I'm currently with Straight Talk and in 2 months haven't had one dropped call. If you want a good phone that will save you hundreds on the initial purchase and allow you to use any carrier anytime this phone is a good choice. I got the plus model for $249 because it had the better camera.

I prefer to have an unlocked phone to have the ease of carrier usage and over-sea usage. This phone has proven to be quite good. My Samsung had suddenly died and I needed to find a replacement immediately. The battery lasts - especially since I use my phone often. Draw backs: I do not know if it is my phone, or a problem in general, but when the phone is on the charger I basically cannot use the phone. The screen routinely goes crazy and apps start popping on and off and the phone malfunctions very quickly. When I am able, I will be visiting the store to see if this is an individual issue, or a Motorola issue. I also do not like that a case and screen protector are NOT available at ANY Best Buy. Actually, I have been unable to locate any proper screen protector or case. Not good! However, I do like the phone. There are not a lot of great choices out there for an unlocked phone. This one also comes with minimal bloatware. A plus!

I opted for the plus over the standard Motorola G4 because of the better camera. So far it's held up fine quality wise. Although the finger print scanner isn't really needed. All it does is unlock the phone and doesn't act as a home button or even allow for Google Pay functionality. That to me is a let down, even if I'd barely use it. Having near vanilla android is nice and Motorola adds a few very helpful side functions like shaking the phone to turn on and off the flashlight. The phone has some negatives but overall it was an easy transition from a Sony Xperia Z3.

Caught a deal and bought this phone because I need a backup personal phone other than my 6S for my work phone. For $160+ I wasn't sure this phone will be even functioning. After I received it and play for a while, I was surprised. For the money I spent, this phone is worth every penny. I think Apple and Samsung should be ashamed to charge their phones 4-5 times more money than this phone and customer still basically get the same thing. The screen is big (5.5 inch) and colorful, the performance is a little poor for multitasking or 3D games, but for everyday usage, it is good enough. The battery is OK, but about the same as my 6S and camera is better than my 6S. One thing i don't like is the earbud jack is in the middle and all function buttons are all on the left side, not very ergonomic. Overall, for a little more than $150 dollar, that's the best you can get for phones. Thanks to Lenovo for making this phone so good and with a really budget price.
