Motorola launched its first 2019 Z series smartphone earlier this week, dubbed Moto Z4. The new Moto Z4 is a mid-range smartphone but in terms of pricing, it happens to be dangerously close to “affordable flagship” smartphones such as the OnePlus 7. Is the new Motorola Moto Z4 good enough to be considered over smartphones such as the OnePlus 7 and Redmi’s new K20 Pro? Let us find out.
The Motorola Moto Z4 has been priced at $499 (INR 34,700 approx.) in the US, where it is slated to go on sale starting June 6th via retailers such as Best Buy and Amazon. Verizon Wireless will begin selling the smartphone June 13 onwards. OnePlus 7 is set to go on sale in India starting June 4 for a starting price of INR 32,999 for the 6GB + 128GB storage variant. The 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant of the smartphone is priced at INR 37,999. Redmi’s flagship K20 Pro has only been launched in China so far, where its base variant with 6GB RAM + 64GB storage costs CNY 2,499 (INR 25,200 approx.). Even the most expensive variant with 8GB RAM + 256GB storage only costs CNY 2,999 (INR 30,200 approx.). When it comes to value, there is no doubt that the Redmi K20 Pro easily beats both the OnePlus 7 and the Moto Z4.
Motorola’s first 2019 Moto Z-series smartphone, the Moto Z4 comes with a 6.4-inch OLED display panel with 1080 x 2340 pixels Full HD+ resolution and an In-display fingerprint scanner. It has a waterdrop notch at the top and a screen-to-body ratio of 85%. It runs on Qualcomm’s mid-range Snapdragon 675 octa-core processor with an Adreno 612 GPU. The 11nm processor has been clubbed with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, which is further expandable up to 2TB with a microSD card.
