Motorola Moto X4 - specifications. Overview Moto X4: The optimal approach The SAR level indicates the number of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body during using the mobile device

The next "rebirth" of Motorola smartphones began with the release of the original Moto X in 2013 - the company further developed the ideas laid in the model, which had to taste many fans. With the transition under the wing of Lenovo changed, much of the old workers refused. It seemed that the series X was forgotten, but at IFA 2017 I presented new smartphone line. Today we will tell you what is the model and what it is notable.

Equipment and first impressions

The smartphone meets the familiar compact and bright box that hides the "fast" charger, cable, simple headphones and documentation.


Already at the stage of unpacking, the old fan Moto may notice that the company gradually forgets about many "secondary" little things. For example, Lenovo has long been getting rid of the branded rectangular power supply Motorola Turbo Power from high-quality plastic and replaced it with its own analogue - the characteristics are the same, but it looks easier.


A familiar convenient "paper clip" To open the tray SIM is now also no - only an option a la iPhone. The tray itself, a unique solution for the simultaneous installation of two Nanosim and a memory card, also went into the fly - in Moto X4 a regular "hybrid" solution is used, as in Moto G5S Plus. Ends the picture frankly cheap headset, which I do not even want to unpack - a dubious accessory for a smartphone for $ 400. With recognizable trifles in the design of Moto, we said goodbye to a long time ago, and now it's time to say "while" the rest.

Design

Given the first impressions of the "Moto Fan", a positive design assessment to wait difficult to wait, but I will try to abstract from thoughts that "the grass used to be greasy."


Moto X4 got a glass and metal housing. In high price segment It is difficult to surprise with these materials, but the model is at the junction (segments), and for the manufacturer, there is a combination of a novelty, it was found in the Moto pair. It can be said that the X4 turned out to be quite beautiful and comfortable.

The case is not too slippery and collects the average number of prints. The "back" has a small bend closer to the edge, and the camera's noticeably protruding block does not interfere with everyday use. The thickness of the case is far from the minimum, but this also has its own charm.


It will sound trite, but the device is conveniently lying in the hand - there are no discovering elements, the average thickness of the case also turns out to be by the way. From the point of view of ergonomics did not like only the locking keys and adjustment of the volume - small, with inadvertent pressing (probably due to protection against water).


On the other hand, it does not create noticeable problems. You can use the print scanner to unlock, it works fine. Blocked the device with holding a finger on the sensor. If you don't like the on-screen control keys, then instead you can also use the scanner - gestures similar to the other MOTO 2017 are working.




The device also received a fairly rare feature in the segment - protection against water and dust according to IP68 standard. If you accidentally swim Moto X4, then nothing will happen.

Screen

The smartphone received a 5.2 inch IPS display resolution of 1920 to 1080 points. The matrix covers the protective glass Gorilla Glass 3 with a good oleophobic coating.





Brightness varies from 5 to 384 cd / m², measured contrast - 1 to 1043. The accuracy of calibration is not ideal, but in general is acceptable. There are no obvious problems. In the "ordinary" display mode, the shades seem very calm, the smartphone is not trying to surprise too bright colors. "Bright" profile, on the contrary, gives a rather saturated image.

The truck sensor works well, on the street the image remains well readable. It is hardly the only remark - a slightly overestimated minimum level of backlight, which is why the image may seem unnecessarily bright. Otherwise, we have a good screen, although without revelations in terms of quality and color reproduction.

Platform

Moto X4 received a familiar platform - Snapdragon 630 is nothing but a sample version of Snapdragon 625, with slightly enlarged GPU and CPU frequencies, as well as a greater connection speed to LTE networks. It is complemented by 3 GB of operational and 32 GB of integrated memory, 4/64 GB configurations will be available in some markets.


there is wi-Fi support 5 GHz, APT-X codec for wireless headphones, NFC, FM radio, use Type-C connector (USB 2.0). Everything looks good, but the volume of the built-in memory for the version presented in Ukraine is definitely not in price - from 32 GB is accessible slightly less than 19 GB, which may not be enough to have a demanding user. Probably it will have to spend even on the memory card.

This problem is not related to Moto, but with the planned update to Android 8.0, which implements the analogue of Dual Boot when two firmware is stored on the machine, but the update is used as quickly as possible. Obviously, with a gradual transition to Oreo, a normal amount of integrated memory for a comfortable use will be required not to be considered 32, but 64 GB.

Otherwise no problems - the platform provides good performance With normal use and normally suitable for most games. There is a feeling of a completely fast modern smartphone.

This role in this is playing "clean" Android 7.1.1 with "chips" Moto. In addition to the usual gestures, to turn on the flashlight and start the camera, the launch of the mode "Do not disturb" the smartphone turnover is down, the Moto Display and voice control functions in Moto X4 added Moto Key.

The "key" allows you to install a small program on a computer with a Bluetooth and use a smartphone finger scanner for authorization in the system and on sites. If there is no print scanner in the laptop or simply tired of entering a password, then the function can be useful - it works with a small delay and convenient to use.

Sound

Moto smartphones are traditionally distinguished by good sound. In X4, the only speaker is located above the display, it serves as a conversational, and multimedia speaker. Unfortunately, due to the presence of a moisture-proof membrane, it sounds just usually - there is a small advantage of the fact that while watching a video speaker is directed to the user, and that's it.

The sound of the device in headphones is comparable to competitors - everything is fine, such a quality is enough for most users. In the conversation mode, the dynamics has a normal volume of volume, the vibration is medium-sized, the call volume is sufficient, although the membrane dries a bit.

Working hours

The device received a built-in battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh - the average for which is enough for a comfortable use throughout the day. In my scenarios of using the device worked for about a day, showing 5 hours of the active screen - taking into account the platform and the screen diagonal the result can be called average, there is absolutely nothing outstanding.

The only plus in this case is a fairly fast complete charging TURBO POWER.

Cameras

Moto X4 received an interesting set of cameras. The main one is represented by two modules - with normal (12 MP, F / 2.0, DUAL PIXEL technology) and wide-angle optics (8 megapixel,f / 2.2, 120 °, without autofocus). Frontal chamber on16 MP (F / 2.0).










Cameras complements an interesting set of software. The company has already implemented the easiest possibility of blurring the back background and changes in the focus point after shooting, as well as the selection function of a separate color in the picture during the shooting process.












There is also AUTO HDR mode, manual settings And "face filters" add funny masks like in Instagram Stories.










We note the presence of object recognition mode - "Cube" appears on the screen on the screen by clicking on which the smartphone tries to find additional information About the object in the frame and does it well.









From the point of view of simple shooting, Moto X4 can be called a conventional medium segment smartphone - the quality of the photo is familiar to such devices. X4 quickly focuses in the daytime Dual Pixel technology, also helps AUTO HDR mode. Night pictures of average quality.















Site rating

Pros: moisture protection, "chips" Moto and clean Android, interesting camera modes, speed, NFC, Fingerprint Function Scanner, Case Materials

Minuses: A small amount of available memory, the price, the absence of any "bright" features of the model standing on the background of competitors

Output: Moto X4 leaves the impression of the "passing" smartphone - just another device that is easily lost among competitors, will become one of many. The success of the past Moto X was combined by a reasonable price, excellent characteristics, ergonomic design and a pair of unique moto chips. Moto X4 has remained the generally familiar pricing policy, supplemented Moto software add-ons, but they gave absolutely average characteristics. The company tried to compensate for them with additional cameras with interesting features, moisture protection, but it turned out not entirely convincing. It happened without critical minuses - if you need a device with moisture protection and the second wide-angle chamber, then Moto X4 can be a good choice. In other cases, we advise you to look at or more affordable Moto G (in particular Moto G5 Plus) or pay for Z2 Play - they seem to us more successful.

Moto X4 revives the Moto X line, but this is not the Moto X, which we once knew. Now he has become a mid-level telephone and if it is completely honest, the only thing that Moto X4 connects with Moto X from the past is a name. In everything else is a completely different device of the new direction. But can a new phone justify our expectations? Find out in our full review!

Moto X4 design

Unlike the previous phones of the Moto X line, which had the possibilities of customization with the help of the choice of the backbone and the color of the parts, you will not get anything like that with Moto X4. Instead, Moto X4 design almost fully complies with the design of the Moto Z series devices, with the exception of Moto modules. Moto X4 is predominantly made of glass, like most modern phones, with glass panels from Corning® Gorilla® Glass front and rear and a smooth metal frame from anodized aluminum surrounding the device around the perimeter. The angles are beautifully rounded, and the back side is slightly narrowed around the edges, which allows the phone comfortably lying in hand.

Many glass phones look quite boring, but Motorola used a fairly interesting trick to make the device more attractive. If you look at the rear panel Moto X4 under a magnifying glass, microscopic curved arcs are noticeable from the back side of the glass panel - it creates a 3D surface effect of a much more complex shape than in fact, causing the refraction of light. Therefore, if you consider Moto X4 on bright light, then the glare will bend on its surface. Of course, it is best noticeable on the model in a silver-blue color, but also a black version - it looks impressive. A similar effect is used in the design of the chamber module, which due to radial glare resembles the dial of expensive hours.

The phone is not so big, so it is much easier to use in one hand compared to most other phones in the market. Of course, glass rear panel It means that fingerprints will remain on it, so if you care that your device looks clean, I would recommend carrying a cleaning napkin.

Otherwise, in the design of Moto X4 there is nothing extravagant because it looks pretty standard in other aspects. Edging along the edges of the medium-sized display, and the camera from the back acts as on the other Moto devices, except that it is just a design element that has no goal as on the Moto Z rule.

Display Moto X4.

The Moto X4 screen does not extend from the edge to the edge and does not have curved faces or rounded corners. This is an ordinary smartphone without frills. This is an LCD display, the diagonal of which is 5.2 inches with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels or Full HD and a density of 424 PPI. This is not the display that will affect your imagination, but it is great for daily use, and I did not have serious complaints on the screen during my testing.

The colors are pretty pleasant for the LCD display, the viewing angles are good, and visibility was not a problem even with bright sunlight. However, the levels of black are not as good as on amoled displays. This should be expected, but on Moto X4 was not common problems With LCD displays, such as uneven lighting around the edges of the screen.

Productivity and hardware Moto X4

Moto X4 falls into the middle class category, and therefore is equipped with the Snapdragon 630 and 3 GB processor or 4 GB of RAM to start applications and multitasking. We had a version with 4 GB from Europe. On paper it may not be the most powerful phoneBut, like what the display concerns this is more than enough. Moto X4 perfectly showed himself in everyday use without delays or lag.

The applications were quickly launched, the multitasking was excellent, and demanding of the chart of the game, such as Need for Speed: No Limits or Marvel's Contest of Champions, worked quickly and smoothly.

As for the hardware, Moto X4 offers standard features for Android database. There are versions with 32 GB and 64 GB of integrated memory and the microSD card slot provides up to 2 TB of additional space. For review, we used the European version with 64 GB and the support of two SIM cards, but as the other Motorola phones - Moto X4 received a combo slot, which means that the second SIM card you can only refuse a memory card. Fingerprint scanner is typical of the Motorola site at the bottom of the screen and it works with sufficient reliability and speed. I also like that you can use it to immerse the phone into sleep or instead of navigation buttons, as well as on the other moto phones with a fingerprint scanner.

Unlike the Moto Z, Moto X4 series smartphones, received a headphone jack located on the bottom of the phone, so to use your favorite headphones the adapter will not need. Moto X4 became the first Motorola phone certified by water protection and dust IP 68, which means that the device may be at a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. Considering that most of the flagships in 2017 were protected from water and dust, this is a fantastic function for the phone at this price.

Moto X4 got a pretty good battery for 3000 mAh, and, although his time autonomous work It is not a phenomenal, this is enough for everyday use during the day. Just do not expect that the active screen time will be incredibly high, since I never managed to get more than four hours, and these numbers most likely will be lower if you play heavy videos or watch video.

Moto X4 uses the new Wireless Sound System software developed by the French start-up, which allows you to play music simultaneously on four devices with Bluetooth support. Software is built into the Moto X4 operating system, and means that the phone can broadcast music to any new or old Bluetooth deviceIf it supports A2DP music profile or its equivalent.

Moto x4 camera

Double Basic Camera is the main feature of this year's smartphones and at Moto X4, Motorola offers this double camera in a more affordable device. But, unlike Moto Z2 Force, Moto X4 has an additional wide-angle module, while Moto Z2 Force got a monochrome sensor.

The main module - received a 12 megapixel sensor and a lens with a diaphragm F / 2.0, and an additional - 8 megapixel with a wide-angle lens with an angle of capturing 120 degrees and a diaphragm F / 2.2 with autofocus with a phase definition. Unfortunately, no one of the lenses have no optical image stabilization. An additional module having a low resolution is also quite unsuccessful, since the difference as is easily noticeable, but this wide-angle lens provides more interesting landscape pictures and makes it easy to shoot large groups of people.

The Moto X4 wide-angle lens has pretty strong distortion on the edges of the frame, which makes pictures of the photographs who have taken pictures with Gopro cameras, which personally seems to me quite interesting.

Moto X4 also uses an additional chamber to create a background blur effect in portrait mode, as on other competing smartphones, and I like that software Motorola allows you to use interesting effects, such as cutting an object in the foreground and replacing the background or replace the background on a black and white image.

However, the effect of depth works not so effectively as on many other smartphones. On Moto X4, the results look not very convincing. As for the quality of the pictures, with good lighting you can achieve excellent results with precise color reproduction. But without optical stabilization, photographs taken with weak lighting, do not have high definition, and white balance can be distorted.

However, when shooting the main lens, snapshots are quite decent, which cannot be said about a wide-angle lens. As expected, with weak lighting, the wide-angle lens is much worse than the main and photograph usually turn out more noisy. This is due to the fact that the smaller resolution of the chamber and the larger diaphragm.

On the front panel there is a 16-megapixel camera with a diaphragm F / 2.0 and a pixel size of 1.0 μm, which allows you to shoot excellent selfie while shooting with a low level of illumination, thanks to the adaptive Low Light mode developed specifically for this.

As the main and front cameras can shoot video with a resolution of 4K, at a speed of 30 frames per second or 1080p video, at a speed of 60 frames per second.

Moto X4 software

Motorola has always offered simple and clean software with a small number of current supplements. Moto X4 runs on the basis of Android 7.1 Nougat from the box, we hope that the update to Android 8.0 Oreo is not to make yourself wait. Like other Moto, X4 series phones also support Moto, Moto display and Moto voice.

Moto's actions offer a quick screenshot that can be done by touching the display with three fingers, navigating with a scanner touching - swipe left to go back to go back and right to open the list of recent applications or vice versa, depending on your settings. Double chopping movement includes a flashlight, and rotation with a brush - camera. Supported gesture to reduce the screen, although with a diagonal of 5.2 inches it is not entirely relevant. Turning off the ring to the climb and activation of the mode do not disturb, turning the phone. Finally, access to the Moto display, which can be launched by pulling out a hand to the phone.

The Moto display offers a custom night mode, with a decrease in the blue level and appearing and disappearing, not including the notification screen.

Another interesting feature of Moto Key - safe input in applications, websites and unlocking windows devices Using the fingerprint scanner.

Let's sum up

In general, in our opinion, Motorola turned out to be an excellent sub-flagship - a simple, compact, reliable and affordable and minimized by additional colors. Moto X4 perfectly copes with any tasks, and you will not find a lot of smartphones at this price, which will provide you with the ability to work with two cameras, protection against water IP68 class, excellent specifications and quick software updates. It can be a big step away from the previous Moto X phones, but Moto X4 is definitely still worthy of your attention.

You can buy a new Moto X4, the first Moto X device over the past two years, both in the variant with one SIM card from the United States and with the support of two SIM cards, 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of integrated memory, from Germany!

Moto X 2014 at one time was a very interesting and balanced solution for a reasonable price. The new version appeared 3 years later after the absorption of the American manufacturer lenovo.. It is interesting to figure out, Lenovo is trying to leave on the former glory of a successful smartphone or did the product really turned out worthy? Initially, the cost of X4 in the Ukrainian retail was declared at the level of 16 thousand UAH. (About 600 USD at that time), which is unreasonably expensive for a smartphone based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 630. Apparently, the local marketing department was reliable, so the official value at the time of the start of sales was reduced to 12 thousand UAH, (given the current course on this The moment the cost of the smartphone is about 430 USD), which seems to be a reasonable solution. The smartphone filling gives a typical middling - Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, 5.2-inch FullHD display, a pair of rear chambers and a front camera with a resolution of 16 megapixel. Of the features, it is worth noting the above-handed out of the smartphones of Moto Frontal Flash.

Appearance and ease of use

The enclosure of the smartphone is made of glass and metal, which is a classic option for smartphones from the middle and upper price group. The back and front panels are glass, and only ends are made of metal. The case of the device is not the thinnest, and the marketing tricks are clearly traced - the thickness is 7.99 mm. However, in direct competitors the thickness of the stronger is less - within 7.5-7.9 mm. And among the phones with the stated protection against moisture and dust on the IP68 standard, the thickness of competing solutions is almost identical.

The quality of the assembly is high, which is quite expected to the smartphone with the stated protection against moisture. When trying to twist the case only a little leaned, but does not publish the slightest sound. When tapping on the body, the lock key and the volume control does not rattling. In general, the feeling of the good quality in the hands is. A black modification was provided for testing. Unfortunately, the hull is instantly covered by fingerprints. Of course, it is characteristic of all glossy black devices, but still this is a flaw.

Front over the screen is the front flash, LED activity indicator, spoken speaker, approximation sensor, and front camera. The display is noticeable to the fingerprint read sensor, as well as the microphone.

Rear the camera module (pair of chambers and flash) has already been habitually isolated a little protruding over the overall surface of the ring.

The left side surface is empty, and on the right there are three identical keys - the upper pair is responsible for controlling the volume level, and the bottom is for blocking.

From above there is a microphone, as well as a hybrid tray of the installation pair of Nanosim format SIM cards, one of which can be replaced by a microSD media. The standard analog audio dispenser is noticeable and the USB Type-C connector (USB 2.0).

Software

We traditionally pay a little attention to this item, because Moto smartphones use pure Android. From a subjective point of view, OS without a branded shell is neither good nor bad (of course, if the branded envelope works without lags), but judging by comments and letters of our readers, many still perceives this feature as dignity. Upgrade to Android 8 (Oreo) at the time of testing has already been available.

Display

The smartphone has a display based on IPS matzitz with a resolution of FullHD, that is, with a standard ratio of the side of 16: 9. In general, clean classic. The screen is protected by glass with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, there is an anti-reflective and oleophobic coating. The screen supports up to 10 simultaneous clicks. It is impossible to say that there is an urgent need for this, but as well as everyone. Traditionally, there is a function of the output of dates and time on a black background when the user activity is detected. The operation of the function relies on the testimony of the gyroscope and the approximation sensor, so it often works correctly, but still sometimes the screen is activated when it is not required.

When setting the maximum backlight level, the brightness of the white field is 403.7 kD / sq. M, while the brightness of the black field is 0.41 cd / sq. M, that is, static contrast reaches a level 985: 1, which is a very good result. The deviation of the Delta E color on the main colors (RGBCMY) is within 3,9 ... 11.7, which is a normal indicator for non-professional techniques. But on the wedge of the gray, the situation is worse - the deviation as lightness grows from 2.9 to 17.8, which is already quite a lot. In addition, the color temperature is significantly overestimated. But but the gamma curve is close to the standoff, and the color coverage is noticeably wider than the standard SRGB color space, and 100% corresponds to it.

Sound

The smartphone is equipped with a single speaker, which simultaneously performs the role of spoken and systemic. When playing music, the speaker showed himself exclusively from the best side. To begin with, it is worth noting pretty high level Volume. When playing a sinusoidal signal with a frequency of 1 kHz at a distance of 1 meter from the smartphone, a level of 77.8 dBA was recorded. In addition, when installing the maximum level, the speaker is not given, and indeed any explicit defects were noticed. The sound quality is generally pleasantly happy, because not only the sch and the HF range are noticeable, but also cross-bubble bass that for smartphones is a rarity. Of course, in terms of the quality of the sound system of the system dynamics, up / experiment does not reach, but still sounds very pleasant.

On an analog audio output, the signal level is not too high, but quite sufficient. When playing a test signal when operating at a load of 32 ohms, a level of 341 mV was recorded. It was also added testing with a load of 16 ohm, because many users are limited to complete headphones, the impedance of which is often 16 ohms. With this load on the audio output, the level of 283.6 mV was recorded.

Sound characteristics on an analog audio mode were measured by Rightmark Audio Analyzer and external sound creative cards E-MU 0204 USB. The overall result is "very good", and before "excellent" the smartphone has not shown quite a bit.

Performance

The smartphone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 system. This SOC is manufactured at a 14 nm FINFET LPP process. The basis of 8 cores of Cortex A-53 lies, half of which operates at frequencies to 2.2 GHz, and 4 more kernels are up to 1.85 GHz. The video system is based on Adreno 508. The volume of RAM is 3 GB, which is a little in modern standards.
The performance of the system was measured in the PCMark synthetics, 3DMark, GeekBench 4 and Antutu V6. The speed of working with memory was rated using Androbench application. Also testing was carried out in JavaScript cross-platform tests (Mozilla Kraken JavaScript and Sunspider). The results of these tests substantially depend on the browser used, so Google Chrome will be used to minimize the impact in all reviews as the most common.
The following smartphones were chosen as opponents:
ASUS ZENFONE 4: Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, 8 cores (4 × 2.2 + 4 × 1.85 GHz), 4 GB of RAM, 5.5 inches, 1080 * 1920 points;
: Samsung Exynos. 7880, 8 cores (8x1.9 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 5.7 inches, 1080 * 1920 points;
: MediaTek Helio P20, 8 cores (4 × 2,3GHz, 4x1.6 GHz), 3 GB of RAM, 5 inches, 720 * 1280 points;

Camera

Smartphone is equipped with a pair of rear cameras. It would be surprising if the camera was alone, because even a double camera is used in a more affordable smartphone. But if a pair of identical modules is used, then the experimental one of the modules is standard, and the second is wide-angle, which is very convenient. It is noteworthy that the quality of the pictures on the wide-angle chamber was quite good. In general, it is clearly added for the "tick". Lights of both revernses F / 2.0, whereas a much more affordable smartphone lights f / 1.7. Unfortunately, third-party programs do not see the wide-angle module, so use the smartphone as a car registrar, where the wide viewing angle is important, it will not work.

Examples of pictures (wide-angle rear camera)

Camera settings are quite traditional, but there are also features. For example, a defined color is added. This mode was available even in ancient analog camcorders, so we will not stop on it. Of course, there is also a background blur mode, without which no smartphone will soon be. This feature Works with the help of exclusively software processing methods, and the second camera, as if it is not used for this. In professional mode, the focus setting, white, exposure and sensitivity balance, as well as the introduction of exposure correction is available. In general, a completely standard set.

It is much more important that the camera control is supported by third-party applications using Camera 2 APIs. In addition, there is support for RAW (only in third-party applications), That allows you to estimate the noise of the matrix. To assess the quality of the pictures, the test template was shot on the main back chamber with a sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 3200 in 1 EV step.

The methodology for assessing the noise of the camera in numerical expression can be found in the review. IN this review Only a graph with measurement results is shown. As an opponent, a direct competitor was chosen, which is equipped with the main rear chamber with a resolution of 12 megapixel. Unfortunately, the model of photo matrices could not be determined. The more interesting how she will show himself! As can be seen on the chart, up to the ISO 800, the test smartphone looks significantly better than a competitor, but at the value of the ISO 1600 sensitivity, there is a sharp failure, and already on ISO 3200 experimental loses a little. The graph of the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensitivity level is non-linear, which pursues the thoughts on the hidden RAW files.

Front-camera

The front camera with the resolution of the pictures as at the rear no one will not surprise anyone, therefore 16 Mp wow effects do not cause. But the front flash is still extremely rare, and often in MOTO smartphones, while many competitors prefer the illumination of self-snapshots by the screen (pin with uniform light fill when shooting). The quality of the pictures with good natural light high. In case of typical artificial lighting in residential premises, the quality of the pictures, of course, is worse, but still on the background of competitors, the smartphone holds very well.



lighting frontal flash

Flash

As noted, in the smartphone 2 outbreaks - rear and frontal for selfie pictures. The rear flash consists of a pair of varnotonic LEDs. When measuring the light stream in the flash mode, the level of 60.5 LCs was recorded, and this is a record result among all the smartphones tested. However, the separation from the former record holder in this discipline (and this is also the Moto model) is only 0.1 LC, which can be boldly to write off the measurement error. With most likely, both Moto X4 use the same LED flash module. The front flash is not a record powerful, but still not bad - at a distance of meters it was able to provide illumination of 12.45 LCs.

Video recording mode

There is a standard set for a smartphone cost more than $ 400 - support for recording rollers with a 4K resolution, as well as FullHD in 60p mode. By the way, the wide-angle camera is also capable of writing video in 1080 / 60p format, and this is very relevant when using a smartphone as a car recorder. In general, it remains only to wait for the support of the wide-angle module from the side of third-party software, therefore, as a regular camera control program for this purpose fits badly.

Autonomous work

The smartphone is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 3000 ma * h, which is the average in its class. In the game mode, the smartphone was tested according to the new method in RealRacing3, while the old technique implied testing in the Benchmark Epic Citadel. Special records in terms of the duration of the battery life, the smartphone does not put, but he has one trump card - very fast charge battery. Complete charger with TURBO POWER technology (configuration 5B / 3A, 9B / 1,6A, 12V / 1,2A) fills the battery capacity to 85% of the level only in 52 minutes, and the level of 100% is achieved in 78 minutes.

Conclusion

A smartphone has little pronounced deficiencies, and the advantages, on the contrary, a lot, and very much. But all the same competitors he has more than enough, including among smartphones of famous manufacturers. If you look in the direction of the flagships of 2016, which are still available on sale, the choice becomes even wider. The price that is asked for Moto X4 may seem high even after the decline. And indeed for $ 420, I want to get at least a minimum, a slightly more powerful system-on-chip. But if you evaluate the smartphone taking into account all his advantages, it turns out that the decision is actually interesting and balanced.
