  • Very bad design choices

    Was previously using a Samsung S5, and was expecting more from the Moto G4 after reading reviews.

    The phone is not truly a 5.5 inch screen, as the bottom contains live menu keys. The viewable screen is only 5.2 inch, unless watching a movie. I don't understand why the designers didn't utilise the empty space at the foot of the phone. In effect, it takes away from the phone's look and functionality.

    You then have to accept that they have chosen to place the back key in the left hand side, but these are not customisable. What was the point of putting the menu keys on the LCD?

    The phone is top heavy, and you get very little grip from the back cover. I'm constantly trying to balance the phone and not drop it.

    The lack of standard apps is dreadful. No gallery, no pics editor, no music player. No link in camera to go straight to edit.

    Audio port on top and USB port at the bottom. Same as the S5, but at least Samsung had good reason... an actual home key.

    4/10

    good cell phone

    Very good cell phone for the price it offers. Great audio, quite resistant, full hd screen. The cameras are not great, moreover, most people who have this model (including me) complain about the camera's protective plastic that scratches easily, to solve this, you have to remove this plastic layer with steel wool. Anyway, it's a good phone for the time, I still have it, it's been 6 years since I bought it.

    Pros
    • performance
    • resistance
    • system
    • full hd screen

    Basic that works well

    Device with a large screen for the time, more or less performance, in heavy games or those more optimized, it did not activate the 60Fps option, it drained a lot of battery when I was playing, good quality screen, the colors were not so washed out, horrible sound easy to muffle

    Pros
    • Big screen (era)

    of my first phones

    A good terminal, the truth is quite good, it is a phone that had good clean software and good quality. Its optimization was good but its power was very tight.

    The second mobile I had, it fulfilled its mission in an exceptional way

    Very nice mobile that seemed great to me in its day, with its eccentricities such as the 3.5 jack in the middle of the upper part and with the functionality of the motorcycle gestures that was sublime with quick accesses to the camera etc. ... In its day it worked great for me, the only downside I would put is that it had very few system updates

    Pros
    • Motorola gestures
    • Fluency
    • Interface
    Cons
    • Very infrequent updates

    Acceptable

    As of today ....... it is acceptable ... You just won't be able to demand much (recommended for secondary use)

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
