Motorola - moto z⁴ - Flash Gray (Verizon)

I was a bit skeptical about buying this phone based off of some of the online reviews here, and elsewhere. The camera seemed to be the "target" of most of the complaints....though I do not know why as it is quite adequate and pictures and videos are quite clear. The response speed of the operating system is also amazing. Unfortunately no matter if I use the Verizon Messaging+ App or the Google Messages App I m unable to get the phone to give me an audible notification for text alerts. Hopefully they (Verizon/Google/Lenovo, who ever'd at fault) are able to fix this glitch soon - it's more than a slight inconvenience.

I'm used to Moto z2 and this phone is very similar. I wish they still had a phone with multiple cam lenses but at least the front camera is now better quality. The rear cam still takes good photos, though is tricky to get it to focus close up sometimes compared to dual cams on the z2. The Moto actions are still one of my favorite features on these phones. Most of the features on this phone aren't any different than many of their cheaper varieties, with the exception of storage space and a little bit of speed. Worth comparing but still happy overall.

First off, thanks Best Buy for such a great deal on the phone. $240 is an awesome price. First off, I don't need the latest and greatest. Just give me a phone that can handle about 6-7hrs of casual browsing daily. So after deleting or disabling the bloatware Verizon puts on the phone, I personalized it to my likings. I don't do gaming or social media, so I also got rid of all the apps Verizon installed. I like keeping my phone pretty plain with no battery draining apps, processes, or services. I had read that the finger print sensor was flaky, so I didn't bother setting it up. I'll wait until they fix the issues. So as I write this review, I'm finishing up my first whole day of using the z4 (approximately 11hrs of use) And I have to say I'm really impressed with the battery. I've done quite a bit of browsing, listening to music, YouTube videos, texting, and phone calls, and my battery went from 100% to 35%. So I expect even better battery results during the week, when I have to work, and can't use my phone as much. The camera is pretty good too. I did notice colors being a little off in low light. But nothing I can't fix with editing. I also liked the speed of browsing from site to site. Real snappy, and no lag at all. The display is nice and bright. No problem with it when I was outside, in the sun. So after my first couple days of using the z4, I can say I really like it. If I were into gaming and social media, I'm sure the battery speed would be negatively affected. But I'm not! So this will work for me. I'll update my review if anything changes.

I bought into the Z family with the original Z Force Droid and was pretty happy with it. I was going to update to the z3 but decided to wait. I'm still not happy there never was a z3 force or according to Moto no Z4 force either, but its certainly an improvement over the original force. Verizon is still putting on their crapware but at least it can be disabled. If your not already using a Z and have moto mods I doubt this is the phone for you, but if you want to move up from an older model this is the way to go.

I came from an Moto z2 force. This phone really isn't much different. Some new features and better cameras. Most of the reviews are correct about the finger print issues. My last phone it worked perfectly with the button. This one isn't as good however it does say that if you have a screen protector as I do it might struggle. And this one does. I eventually shut it off which is a pain selling as I use the outside for most of my apps. Other than that pretty good so far.

Would recommend this phone to all my friends and family

I have to thank Best Buy for the amazing deal on this phone compared to prices at actual cell phone stores (which I won’t mention by name). I’ll be doing my cell phone shopping at Best Buy from now on because they offer better deals. Plus they do not pressure you to purchase a bunch of extra crap that you don’t even want nor need. Such as Bluetooth speakers or other random things. But *if* you would like to ask, they kindly help you look for a new case or something you would actually need/like to have for your new phone. I love the Moto Z line. I have had the Z play, Z3, and now the Z4. I am in love with the mod concept. I have 4 mods and love their different functions. I use a battery pack mod daily (I have 2, one has wireless charging and one does not). I use my JBL speaker mod nearly daily. I have the nice camera mod too which I don’t use quite as often. The Z4 doesn’t disappoint. It’s a great phone. The phone’s camera is stunning. Screen is vibrant. I like the fingerprint scanner on the screen itself. The headphone jack is back! You can still slide an SD card in there for extra storage if you’d like. (Although 128 GB is a lot, at least for me!) And for this price? Wow! Unbeatable! I doubt you could get this nice of a phone anywhere for this price that Best Buy is offering.

This is the 5th Moto phone I have owned. I am very familiar with how the phones work, so when I got this one it was easy to use. Only con I have with the phone is, the finger print to unlock the phone works about 50% of the time and the same with the face recognition to unlock. But for what I do the phones works very well
