Moto X4 Launched in India with Dual Cameras, Amazon Alexa Support Starting at Rs 20,999

Motorola has finally launched the X series smartphone Moto X in India. The smartphone was first announced in September this year at IFA Berlin. The device went through lots of hiccups before its launch. It was set to release on October 3, but due to mysterious reasons, the launch was canceled, and then the company gave a new release date. The Moto X4 is a mid-range device and will continue the legacy of the Moto X series, launched in 2013 and best known for its unique customizable design and clean software.

In terms of design, the smartphone is good-looking with the contoured back panel design and has a premium feel with a metal and glass body, something scarce in this price range. This is a massive upgrade from the previous X series smartphones, made of plastic or rubber. The front side is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, which houses the 5.2-inch full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) LTPS IPS display with 424 ppi pixel density and the fingerprint sensor. There are also capacitive buttons for back, home, and multi-tasking. The smartphone will be available in Super Black and Sterling Blue color variants. The smartphone comes with gestures like a 3-finger swipe for screenshots, a built-in password manager called Moto Key, one-button navigation, Moto Display, Moto Voice, which allows the phone to stream music wirelessly to up to 4 Bluetooth headphones or speakers, pre-loaded Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa and IP68 dust and water resistance.
