Moto G4 Plus vs Moto X Style/Pure

Hi, I have a Moto X Style/Pure, the 16gb model, and I wondering if anybody has this yet that could tell me if going for more storage and ram is worth the switch. I love the idea of 4gb ram/64gb of storage but 4gb ram with 617 processor vs 3gb ram 808 processor
Wow, i have both and i love both, one with my personal number and other with my work number.

So would go as far as to say there's a real sacrifice going from the x to g plus?
Damn.... i love the x screen but the g camera is awesome

I am in a dilemma which one to buy. My usage pretty much consists of browsing and social media apps and a decent camera. I don't game on phone.
Wondering which one to buy. I just need a phone that is a smooth UX. No stutter or lag on basic usage and multi-tasking.
Heard Moto G4 Plus' Camera problem, that is gets hot and takes time to focus?
Is Moto X Style(16GB variant) really worth it for extra $90?
Let´s make it easier, what about g4 plus vs x play? Dont answer on comparisons from the spec/ info etc , I'm looking for the input from someone that have used the 2 phones if possible ... battery life, screen quality ...
Thanx

Hi everyone.
I am torn apart among Moto G4 Plus, Motorola's last year flagship Moto X Style and Honor 8. I would appreciate any ideas and pros and cons. I am not a gamer, but my device is normally loaded with apps. Camera is very important, fluid and lag free performance is also a must.
Thank you very much in advance.

Moto G4 Plus vs Lenovo Z2 Plus [URGENT]

Hello Everyone,
I bought a Moto G4 Plus a few months back but returned it as it was defective. Now I will be ordering another phone tomorrow, but now I am confused between two - Moto G4 Plus and Lenovo Z2 Plus( Zuk Z2), I feel that Z2 Plus is better in all aspects except the camera. Can someone please tell me how is the Camera of Moto G4 plus and if possible please compare it with the Z2 plus.
Also, if possible please suggest which phone should I buy.
Specs -
Z2 Plus - Snapdragon 820, 3500 Mah battery, 13MP camera(No OIS), 3GB RAM

Sounds like you'd be trading more performance for a better camera if you went with the G4. It's kinda up to you with what's more important.

Camera is a priority but performance stands higher.
But the Z2 also costs 50$ more so I can't decide.

As your name suggest you are an indian.And the g4 plus that are sold on amazon.in have many issues i.e all the g4 phone which are manufactured in india are a bit defective.Like overheat and screen burn are the two main problem I have seen .Zuk z1 was good and i think zuk z2 would be great. 4k rs investing more will give you a big jump in the specs
Z2

Should I buy the G4 Plus now or wait until the G5 Plus is released ?

Hi, I currently have a Moto G (2014) and I want to change my phone.
I don't know if I should wait for the moto G5 (I don't know the release date) or buy the G4 now.
I heard that it will be not much better than the G4 anyway ?
Also another question , how's the x265(1080p) decoding on Moto G4 ? Most of my video files are encoded in x265..
G5 images was fake... Go for g4 plus
Dunno

I havent had any problems with G4+. I dont play many games and I dont record long videos so I havent had any heat issues. I bought 64gb for $250 on Swappa.
I unlocked bootloader, Seamless root without any hiccups. Great device for me.
I dont think the Moto G series will get much better than the current Moto G4+ for a year or two.
PS I also have Moto G3 2015 as my oops phone. There is an advantage with Moto G4+.
Unless I'm mistaken it's the same hardware just with a fingerprint sensor and more storage options. I have the regular G4 and like it and wouldn't use the fingerprint anyways. If you want more storage it's probably cheaper to get like a 32-64gb as card for cheaper than the price difference of buying the other phone model. Just my opinion.
Go for Moto G4 plus now !
Go for G4+ as the G5 news cannot be relied upon. Also, your G(2014) is way too old, if you wanna change your phone, G4+ would be best so far in that price range. Waiting for G5 at this stage will make you halt for atleast a year-and-half from now, and would not contain much of the "GREATER" changes. As for codec support, the device (G4+) works perfectly fine with the x265(1080p) decoding. In fact it works brilliant with all codecs.
Wait for REDMI 4 PRIME ( Snapdragon 625, 4000mAh battery,3GB RAm,32 gb internal, fingerprint scanner), all under 15K!!!!!
Its rumoured to launch in India in Jan/Feb.
I would hold my horses and wait for its launch,Snapdragon 617 is one of the worst performing Soc ever(I didn't forgot Snapdragon 810 v2.1)
PS: I have nothing against g4 plus except that mediocre processor used by Moto to save cost!! I recommended my sister to buy moto g4 plus, it's an excellent camera phone under 15K,if not the best budget phone.

The phone throttles very soon and is not good basic functionality like recording FHD videos as the frame drops starts to occur and is even present in the saved video file. Also not good for gaming more than 30min!!!!!!

It was fixed some months ago. No overheating issues viewing VR 360º videos or playing Asphalt 8 in latest MM or Nougat.

Frame Rate Issues.

Is it only me or is it for all that moto g4 plus gives a very low frame rate when using custom roms while the same rom works flawlessly on some other device? For eg i have both moto g4 plus and lenovo vibe k5 plus. Though vibe has less memory and less powerful cpu as compared to moto, still RRN works better on vibe as compared to that on moto g4 plus.
If there is any solution for screen rate fix suggestions are welcome.
