The keyword “plus” is intruding more and more into the smartphone folklore nowadays. This generally represents a larger, more powerful variant of its smaller sibling. The same is the case for Motorola’s E4 Plus, an excellent improvement upon its smaller variant, the Motorola E4 with a pretty decent starting price-tag of just over 22,000 rupees.

Customary Motorola design with an large display upfront

The Motorola E4 is made for the budget friendly but the E4 Plus is a different beast altogether. However, they do share some similarities of which the biggest is the way they’re designed. Both the smartphones feature a full metal design with a round glass panel sitting pretty in the upper regions of its back panel. Its dimensions are pretty obese in our opinion as a 9.55mm width and 198g weight definitely require some dieting.

The smartphone features a larger display than the E4 albeit with the same resolution which is somewhat surprising; we’re talking about a 5.5 inches capacitive touchscreen with 720p resolution. We’re not sure whether the 720p resolution has the resolve to perform commendably on a 5.5 inches touchscreen but let’s keep our fingers crossed shall we?

Primary camera: good. Selfie camera: just like the E4’s

We’re happy to see the E4 Plus support a larger primary camera compared to its smaller counterpart. With a 13 megapixel sensor, the camera holds enough power to produce some excellent photography while also shoot good videos.

The selfie sensor banks at 5 megapixels which seems okay-ish. However, we would’ve loved to see an 8 megapixel sensor there.

Hardware

The smartphone keeps the quad-core processor of the Motorola E4 albeit with 3 gigs of RAM. That’s excellent for the built-in Android Nougat to feed on leading to a satisfactory user experience. Its other notable mentions include dual-SIM capability, 16 gigs of internal storage and a front mounted fingerprint reader while a whopping 5000 mAh battery feeds the smartphone giving it impressive battery time.
