If we talk about the best smartphone launches of 2017, Motorola Moto X4 deserves a mention as the Lenovo-owned brand entered into the premium mid-budget segment with his handset. From a powerful processor to dual cameras and from a great multimedia package to an affordable price tag, Moto X4 has got everything right.
It is worth mentioning that Motorola wants the Moto X4 to be the money maker for 2018 while the company will focus on going big in the premium segment, and in order to achieve its goals, the Chinese maker is slated to launch a new variant for the device, which will come with Android Oreo out of the box and humongous 6GB RAM to make the deal even sweeter.
Since Moto-smartphones come with Stock Android, ‘8.0’ will definitely be a stand out feature in the segment but what is even more exciting is the fact that Moto X4 will be the company’s first offering to come with 6GB RAM, which has become somewhat of a benchmark in the competition.
