The Moto G4 or G4 Plus has shown up again after leaking twice already, this time in a nice press render thanks to internet leaker Evan Blass, via his Twitter account @evleaks.
As you can see, the front mounted fingerprint sensor is there, as is what appears to be the microphone to the left which appears to be a little more pronounced in the white colour scheme. The rear of the phone also shows off the new camera setup of the 2016 Moto G series, with some sort of dual-sensor mounted above the camera lens.

The difference between the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus is said to be in the camera alone with the Moto G4 shooting with a 13MP sensor, while the G4 Plus gets a 16MP sensor. The G4 will have a 5.5″ screen making it the largest Moto G to date, moving up from the 4.5″ original Moto G, through to 5.0″ in the Gen 2/3 model.
When the launch is set for isn’t known, but there is a rumour of a May launch, though when that will actually make it to Australia is anyones guess, with Motorola not able to get devices to the Australian market in anything approaching a timely manor for the last few years. It looks great, but will we get it here while it’s relevant is the question.
Really hope it’s not 5.5inch.
Would make sense to make the normal version 5 inch and the plus version 5.5.
I think it is likely that the G4 will be 5″ and the G4 Plus will be 5.5″.
I also think that while the two phones will share the same design/appearance we’re likely to see an extra GB of ram in the Plus and a slightly higher rated chip.
I bought my daughter a G3 and, if the G4 Plus turns out to be a serious upgrade to tha,t at a reasonable price point, then I might seriously consider trading in my OnePlus One.
