The Moto G4 Plus was unveiled in India in May, and now Lenovo is introducing a more affordable Moto G4 option for ₹12,499. The main difference between the two models is that the latter does not come with a fingerprint sensor, and has reduced memory: 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage instead of 3GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage on the Moto G4 Plus.
The camera is also a 13MP offering instead of a 16MP unit. That said, the Moto G4 does include the same 5.5-inch Full HD screen as the Plus variant, and you also get Turbo Charging, a 3000mAh battery, Dual-SIM connectivity with a dedicated microSD slot, 5MP front shooter, LTE, and the same 1.5GHz Snapdragon 617 SoC.
