I was at the same place a couple of months ago, wait for the X4, get the G5+ or go for the new G5S+. I finally bought the G5S+.
It all depends on your preferences, but these were my reasons.
G5+. Excellent value for money. My wife's got one so I've been using it for a while. She prefers hers to mine.
G5S+. Same performance and similar battery life as the G5+. Bigger screen, better materials (and looks), better speaker, more RAM (international models), more recent version of Android and I manage to get better pictures with this phone than with the G5+.
X4. I was very interested about this model. Better SoC, camera, radios, new features ... A couple of things put me off, though. It seems battery life is not so good as on the Gs, glass back and system & preinstalled apps take basically half of the 32GB of storage.
I'm not completely sure, but I think the X4 for North and South America only comes with 3/32GB.The X4 (US version) doesn’t come in a 64GB model like the G5+ and G5S+? That’s very disappointing, but an SD card solves that I think.

About the SD card. I have a mixed experience here. Adoptable/internal storage is too buggy and risky for my liking, definitely a no go. I use an SD card, as external storage, on my old X Play and it's good for basic media files, but quite unreliable with more complicated things, like Spotify playlists for example.
That's the thing, it depends. In the two Moto G5 models the system takes about 8GB while in the X4 I saw reports that there are less than 17GB of user storage. I'll try to find the link.How much available storage do 32GB phones usually have?

Yeah. I guess all those new features take a lot of storage (intelligent camera, AI, new Bluetooth capabilities ...).
The X4 is already available in different places (Brazil, Germany, etc) and those are reports from real users.Then again we won’t know until people get their own phones. That may have been a flawed device that person had.
