Lenovo has been announcing new smartphones. Few weeks ago it unveiled the budget-friendly Moto C and Moto C Plus, and two weeks ago the Moto Z2 Play was unveiled. Now the company is back again with another pair of phones, this time in the budget-friendly Moto E range. The new Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus cost a bit more than the Moto C range, though they’re still quite affordable.

The metal body on the Moto E4 will have a 5.0-inch 1,280 x 720 display, and will come with Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box. Inside it will have either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 or 427(for the plus variant) quad-core processor running at 1.4 GHz. Some markets will offer the phone with a MediaTek 6737 chip. It will contain 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of onboard storage. You can take pictures with its 8 MP rear camera, or selfies with its 5 MP front facing camera. It will have a 2,800 mAh removable battery that is supposed to last up to one day on a single charge.

The Moto E4 will go on sale later in June for the starting price of $129.99 in the US and €149 in Europe. The phone will be sold on Amazon as a Prime Exclusive Phone, but pricing for that version has not yet been revealed. It will be sold with the color options of Licorice Black and Fine Gold.


Here is an indepth details that we know. The Moto E4 is the lower-end model of the pair. The device features a 5-inch HD (720p) display, a quad-core 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC (the international variant sports the MediaTek MT6737) paired with 2GBs of RAM, 16GBs of internal storage and a 2,800 mAh removable battery. Along with these specifications, you’re going to get an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing shooter. The handset will be running on the latest version of Android that is officially available – 7.1 Nougat.

The Moto E4 Plus is the slightly larger and powerful variant than its smaller brother. Motorola decided to place a larger 5.5-inch HD (720p) display, quad-core 1.4 GHz Snapdragon 427 SoC (again, the international variant has the MediaTek MT6737), 2GBs of RAM, 16GBs or 32GBs of ROM and a huge 5,000 mAh battery. Pairing such a capacious battery with a 720p display should give it a solid battery life. Additionally, the device works with the 10W rapid charger which gives you “hours of battery life in minutes of charging”. There are also improved cameras: a 13-megapixel rear shooter and a 5-megapixel front camera with a selfie flash. This device also runs Android 7.1.
Unfortunately, the Moto E4 will not feature a fingerprint sensor, though the Moto E4 Plus will in some non-U.S. markets. Furthermore, NFC support is also missing on the U.S. variant for both models, though it is present in the models sold internationally.

The Moto E4 will be available for $129.99. Motorola announced that the smaller device in the line-up will also be available as an Amazon Prime Exclusive Phone. The company will share the pricing details for this model at a later date. On the other hand, the Moto E4 Plus will cost $50 more and will start at $179.99.

[TechLeaks] Moto X4 image leaks showing off glass back, dual camera, thin side bezels

Update: The first image of the Moto X4 has leaked (see above). It was recently posted on Twitter by Evan Blass and shows the front as well as the back of the upcoming smartphone. The device looks a lot like the rest of the Moto lineup with its large circular camera housing on the rear and the fingerprint scanner positioned on the front, below the screen. The image shows the gold version of the Moto X4, although we do expect to see it in a few other color options once it’s officially released. One of the smartphones we’re really looking forward to from Motorola this year isn’t a refresh to the Moto Z , but rather the return of the Moto X lineup in the Moto X4. With specs and rumors flying around, Evan Blass has taken to Twitter to share the first good look at the upcoming device. The latest addition to the Moto X lineup, the Moto X4, is expected to be a return to the Motorola that once got us excited , at least to an extent. Whereas the Moto Z line focuses on premium sp...

[Phone Launch] Xiaomi launches its first Android One smartphone named Mi A1

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi A1 earlier today in New Delhi, and the phone marks a shift in strategy for the manufacturer. While all Xiaomi phones thus far have featured MIUI, the Mi A1 offers stock Android. The phone is the first in a new lineup of Android One devices, with Google looking to aggressively target the budget segment in emerging markets. The highlight of the Mi A1 is its dual camera setup at the back with a 12 MP wide-angle and a 12 MP telephoto lens. The 50 mm telephoto lens captures the main image and the wide-angle lens assists with the depth of field measurement, and the two lenses work together to create a bokeh. The telephoto lens enables up to 2x optical zoom and for even further shots, Mi A1 offers up to 10x digital zoom. Also, like the Pixel and Pixel XL by Google in the past, the Mi A1 offers unlimited high-quality photo storage on Google Photos. Xiaomi Mi A1 Specifications Operating System Android 7.1.2 Nougat Display 5.5-inch IPS LCD 192...

[Tech News] Google Chrome Canary and Dev Builds now have Built-In Ad Blocker

Google depends on advertising for its revenue. It is to serve this purpose that the company collects all relevant data across all of its users. Our browsing habits, our shopping-related searches, our weekly schedule — all of these are of interest to Google because they grant an insight into our lives, allowing Google to serve personalized ads that have a higher chance to resonate with viewers. So earlier this year, when reports emerged that Google was looking to incorporate an ad blocker in Google Chrome  – its main browser that serves millions of Android users – many people were initially surprised. After all, ads are Google’s forte, so blocking them natively seems like a strange idea. However, the reports clarified that even though the ad blocker would be turned on by default, it will only block out those specific types of ads that are deemed too intrusive and that negatively affect a user’s browsing experience. Some users on Google Chrome’s Canary and...
