It sports a 5.2-inch full-HD LTPS IPS display with 424ppi pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The smartphone is powered by the 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 octa-core SoC paired with Android 508 GPU and 3GB of RAM. Internal storage is at 32GB, but there is scope for further expansion using the microSD card slot (up to 2TB). In some regions, a 4GB RAM and 64GB storage option is also expected.

Coming to the camera, the Moto X4 sports a dual camera setup at the back. It houses one 12-megapixel dual autofocus sensor with f/2.0 aperture and 1.4-micron pixels; and another 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor with 120-degree field of view, f/2.2 aperture, and 1.12-micron pixels.

New Moto X4, Z, G, E and C Devices Detailed in Leaked

The Moto X4 returns in this leak, once again confirming the new design language and some of the devices’ features.

The Moto family has now grown to 5 letters, with the Z seemingly residing at the top of the hierarchy through its “unlimited capabilities”. The Moto Z Play and Z Force are shown by themselves without a regular Moto Z, as the Z Play seems to be filling that gap. The slide doesn’t tell us much other than the fact that motomods will return, though the mentioning of “gigabit LTE” points straight at an upgraded Snapdragon 835 processor, which was expected anyway.

The X4 would have a 5.5" screen of unknown resolution, the brand new Snapdragon 660 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, laser autofocus, and a massive 3800mAh battery.

The presentation slide itself, we can see that the phone will have a metal body, 3D glass , a smart camera, IP68 water and dust resistance , AI integration always-on voice , 3xCA , and Turbo Charging.Below the Moto Z Play and Moto Z Force we find the upcoming Moto X4, under the label unlimited perfection. 

The new Moto X will go back to basics with a smaller 5.2 inch FHD display, a 3D glass design and “smart cam” features. While the picture isn’t clear, it does confirm recent leaks, indicating that the phone will sport a glass design not unlike what’s being adopted by other popular flagships.

Power and volume buttons are mounted on the right, a flat Motorola logo, dual cameras and a dual LED flash, a bluish color on the front, some 'moto' branding, and an earpiece double as a speaker. Interestingly, there are no pins on the back for Moto Mods. Overall, it's a decent-looking phone that follows the same design language that Motorola has had since Lenovo took control.

The entries in the Moto G, E and C also look to be excellent value propositions, with big batteries and a refined design language. All of this points towards an exciting year for Motorola, with an expansion of its traditional categories. Under Lenovo, the company has come pretty far and deviated from the simpler ‘X,G,E” lineups it used to offer. It might be a bit more confusing and crowded, but these do look like solid offers and quite a barrage of products to storm this last half of 2017.
