    That seems like a fantastic amount of phone for a VERY reasonable price. I can see this selling very well to those who don't want a 24 month contract!

    Also makes me wonder what the next Moto E will look like!

    Don't count on those prices, supposedly they were sent out in error...
    When I first saw the price though I did think, what happened to it's budget origins but then saw 600 series cpu so it's actually not too bad value as I'd now class it as a 'mid range' phone spec wise.

    I don't like the fact there's multiple versions of the same phone with different ram etc, why can't manufacturers just learn that it's sometimes better to keep things simple....

    And why did they need to produce two versions of the same phone with basically just a better camera on one... surely having one version would have worked out cheaper overall to manufacture.

    But what do I know I'm not a Chinese multinational company...

    Just got an email from Motorola about this, no details on pricing though. Preorders start on 24th May.

    Re: Motorola announces Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus

    Looks to be very nice bang for buck, especially with the fingerprint scanner, I've been considering getting a phone with one recently so I don't have to punch in a pattern/code every time I unlock. That said, while my Moto 4G served me well, it failed within the first year, and a few months after the 2 Moto Es family members have also started acting up, so for now at least that is enough to steer me away from Motorola, especially since I got this LG G3 for £200 last year, it probably won't be long until old generation phones are at the £200 price point with fingerprint scanner. I'll play the waiting game for now, but it's good to see Motorola are still pushing out great priced phones.

    Why's that? Previous Moto G phones have been hugely popular.

    I'm not a fan of the multiple RAM configurations on the same device. Just seems like a stunt to make you purchase the biggest storage space version and therefore the most expensive.

    From £199, so the top end will be £300. Still not bad for that price.

    I'll have a look through those same pics now.

    And here I hoped for a second they'd release a phone with a smaller footprint. Ahh, the disappointment!
