Motorola, which is now owned by Lenovo, has unveiled Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus in selected markets. After the launch of the devices in China, Canada and India, Motorola is next to launch them in the United States. While an official launch is still awaited in the US, the two devices are already available on Amazon, quite unofficially.
Moto G4 is right now available in the U.S. for $279.99 through Amazon but it doesn't support US LTE. On the other hand, Moto G4 Plus 16GB and 2GB RAM model is available for $339.99. The device is said to work on GSM/LTE carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, but will not support CDMA/LTE carriers like Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular.
Prices of the two new models of Motorola in the U.S. are higher as was expected but it's stated that the official price would surely be less. The Moto G4 in India is available for Rs. 12,499 (around $184), whereas Moto G4 Plus costs Rs. 13,499 (just about $199) for 16GB storage and 2GB RAM model, and Rs. 14,999 (roughly $221) for 32GB internal memory and 3GB RAM variant.
