Getting a Moto X4

[this_is_nascar]

NO lags yet here, but I expect as I add more, it will happen. I'm fine with that. I opted for the standard X4 vs Android One.

I'm starting to question all those reviews I read about all-day superb battery life on the X4.

I know I'm coming from a Z-Play Droid, but damn.

I'm very happy with my X4. Battery definitely gets me by all day sometimes I can charge the next day. I have a little lag here and there but nothing that I'll complain about. I have one little thing where when I finish a call and I go to hit end it doesn't end the call right away. sometimes after a call when the screen is black the phone doesn't come right up I'll actually have to hit the power button and then I can bring the screen back up. honestly for $225 I can deal with that. I have the Android One version 64GB. I think Moto has them on sale for two hundred bucks right now and I would recommend one to anyone.

I might have a different view, coming from a Moto E5 Play (and a Moto E4 before that), but I am pleased with the X4 battery wise. It seems to drain the battery much slower than my previous phones.

Your battery life is bad? That's surprising. I had the Note8 and the battery life on my X4 is better. By the end of the night I'm still around 55 percent. So that's from 7:30am to about 11pm.

I'll post a couple battery graphs later today to show you. Maybe it's just me. I only have the default battery stats that come in Pie.

I believe you. I just haven't had that issue. I'm really happy with this smartphone. Very shocked that I haven't had any real issues.

In case anyone's interested, the 32 GB X4 Android One is still $149 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-And...-20&tag=mbnx33-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6467309

I prefer the 'standard" Moto X4 over the Android One version. Moto's 'custom' version of Android is still very clean and they have a pretty decent track record of updating it. At least a few times the Moto version of Android was updated before the Android One version - which makes no sense but true. So the supposed benefits of a pure android aren't that impressive. And the Android One version lacks some of the truly helpful Moto customizations that I find useful like shake-to-flashlight and twist-to-camera.

Yeah, I saw that. Not sure whether to get a spare or not. What a great price.

I choose the standard X4 for similar reasons.

That's not accurate. I have the Android one version and it has the shake for flashlight and the twist for camera features.

Is that native, or do you have to install some kind of Moto app?

Native.

This is the native app that cannot be deleted. Came with the phone out of the box.

The Moto app as pictured here is installed on my A1 X4 as well.

Where are they selling the original X4? I can't find it anywhere. Even when I go to the Motorola site, it pushes you to the Android One version. I remember seeing a video detailing the differences between the two versions. Does the original have Alexa built in?

Amazon has various ones available, on sale, right now.

This was from yesterday. Acceptable I guess, but definitely not my Z-Play Droid.

I don't know. That looks pretty decent to me.
