Got this phone free for signing up with MetroPCS as a backup carrier. My version doesn't have the fingerprint scanner but I think many reviewers are a bit spolied. 2gigs of ram and the 825 processor and 308 Adreno have epic performance for under $200 bucks. The screen does not distort back at all at angles. I prefer this phone actually over my S6 because I like the matte plastic body and how it feels. My samsung phones, the newer phones may feel heavy and primium but they also feel like they are made out of glass and to me feel cheap and as if they will break too easily. What's odd is my Moto E4 does things faster than my S6 or Note5 dispite what the performance apps giving it a lower score. Go figure. - Hope this comment helps some in deciding on this phone as it's really a gem.
Every Walmart that I have visited has this phone available for $39.00 ! I bought one just to see what you get for less than 50 bucks in a smartphone and was so impressed that I went back and bought a second one just for back up.
Sky King depending on your location and your phone , but overall Verizon has the best coverage . I had T mobile and AT&T but their signal is weak in my area. I'm on Verizon now and I can even make a phone call in side the hospital. with t mobile and AT&T I have to walk outside to the parking lot and still get weak signal. also Verizon is better in rural areas if you on the road a lot
for $70? I'm getting it. all you suckers paying $700+ for a cellphone that will cost $150 to fix a broken screen.... wait I got a Moto g4 play for $50 and I think it's better than e4
Right? I would never pay that high for a new smartphone. I got my iPhone 6s plus for 299 that is a 64gb when it was on sale. I will most likely get a G5 plus as my next phone since I may switch back to android.
If I were to buy this phone could I use this on my Sprint plan? I want to do this because my phone is on a lease and I have to return it by the end of the plan.
Fingerprint, Nougat 7.1.1,5inch Display,8MP with flash rear & Front with flash.Motorola Camera is good,SD card option,2GB RAM in just 70$.The best deal we ever get.So amazing.Motorola is back
Looks very nice as a budget phone even for those younger people getting a first smartphone. But for me I would rather buy something like a G5 plus instead I just can't do with a 720p display anymore after using my 6s plus.
Ordered this prepaid moto e4 online from verizon, couldn't activate it, called and they said the pre installed sim was the wrong one. Went to verizon store they put the right one in. The real bad is people I talk to say I break up. it has 2 microphones. the one on the back looks like the plastic hole was never cleared to the mic? Looks like I should get a needle and poke it. Does yours look closed? I disabled hd voice I havent broke up yet but I only did it twice so far.
I know it’s completely out topic but I need help with a Galaxy S5, screen rotation stopped working, the only way for it to work (for a couple of hours) is by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. Any suggestions? Thank you.
My school is getting these phones. Every 9th, 10th, and some 11th/12th graders are receiving these phone for free! I think my school is part of this Sprint 1Million Project. Also the phones come with unlimited data, unlimited calls/texts, and hotspot capability!
Curious can anyone answer I got the metro version Moto e4 so does it have 3d touch? I lightly push the phone and option screen for that app comes up is that considered 3d touch?
John Nguyen The Nexus 5 has a better 1080p screen and an older, but slightly faster processor than this. But, this phone is running the lastest version of Android 7.1.1 Its newer generation SD 425 processor is more efficient. And with its 720p screen, you should see much better battery life.
Hiluxtaco thanks for the response! I think I'll stick with my N5 for another year or so. Currently running 7.1.2 and support on xda is virtually unmatched
Bought it yesterday and got it today! Amazing phone for the price! But amazing phone period. Don't listen to the washed out lcd and bad viewing angles. It's a very solid panel.
Just got the motoE4. its pretty nice so far. been about a week. obviously phones slow down with time, but i believe this is a good purchase instead of the 600$ phones
I cracked my screen on mines. But it's still going lol. I really like this phone. I had a Samsung note 5 so I do miss my pen lol. My screen faded to blue/black on my note 5 and the screen replacement wasn't worth it with no warranty left. So after researching I gave this a chance to replace my Samsung. I never had a Motorola phone so it was a new experience. Fast, good screen, no problems. It's obviously not a Samsung or iPhone so that should be considered. Paid 40 for it at Walmart.
This phone is $40 at Walmart for prepaid. I got it and love it. Been using it for 3 weeks and shows no sign of slowing. Battery life is decent even though people say it's crap. Can play Pokemon go for 6 hours on a full charge and not even my s7 lasted that long. It's a freaking great smartphone and would recommend it to anyone. The thumb print sensor works fabulously and you can even use it if the phone screen is off to unlock your phone (unlike my s7edge). I literally have no complaints about it
I'm on Verizon but I really wish it was the Moto e4 plus. it's 5.5" and has. 5000mah battery. I wish Verizon would sell the plus instead for an extra 20 or so.
I got this as a media device. The Verizon prepaid version at Walmart is $40, it's locked on prepaid but that doesn't matter since it's just a media device for me. I can't believe how great it works. Makes my Z Force seem like a complete rip off, except the camera
Is an all glass phone that shatters from being dropped a few feet really premium ? The worry and price of a so called premium phone just doesn't seem worth it anymore . I have an s10e and an s8 .I just ordered the moto e4 for a cheap care free lightweight fits in my pocket experience.
Hi alll I want to know if any one can answer is does this phone supportwhats app - as my samsung will not work with the new UPDATE of whats in 2023 - this a big deal breaker for me I dont want a facy phone calls - tezt - etc messaging BUT whats app I do need hence the question
I just bought a used LG G Flex 2 in good condition for one of my friends. I paid 70€ which roughly translates to 80USD. A better deal in any way, at least in my opinion.
$70 for 5 inch, 16gb and a fingerprint sensor? Motorola is the one.
Kiel Enrique Android 7 for that matter. Damn!
Ikr this might be my next phone
erm, xiaomi is keeping up
check the Xiaomi Redmi 4X, the 3GB and the snapdragon 635 versions, also, note that their batteries are 4100....
Cobac yeah xiaomi is the one
Xiaomi doesn't focus on super low end phones
That phone is beautiful for $70 well done Motorola+Lenovo
I have to buy it now just because of the low price even tho I have a good phone already. This will be a great backup phone.
Akash Gupta i have a mi 5 and a redmi 4a as a burner phone, but I would still prefer the moto e4 over redmi 4a any day.
+Stickdoge1414 Moto Z Play, I just want to get the Moto E4 as a backup phone.
OpTic KTG Z play here aswell, i think ill be getting this too.
OpTic KTG Same here......I'm planning to get one also for my secondary phone.
$70 lol but VERIZON comes out to $70 a MONTH
adrian simental 👎
adrian simental I'm on Verizon prepaid 3gb of data for $40
Been Dead Since 2012 are You seRioUs $40 for 3gb data... ?
I am on JIO 1gb 4g data daily in 5 dollar for 90 days,before jio i paid 5 dollar for 1gb only.
gaurav mishra its exactly not how economy works ..
How does this phone have the latest version of android before the flagships?
Pathetic
Eli Acevedo because it's newer duhh
Eli Acevedo Flagships' softwares are bloated as hell. It's hilarious
Jugo okay?
I wish there were someway to streamline updates on Android. It seems so archaic for Android devices to be held back b/c manufacturers are lazy.
alex mercer Abe mi ke ek bhi phone me 7.1 Aya h kya or ha Android o is in beta program it release in August or September so 7.1 is the latest
Holy shit 70$ bois
Bravo Moto...This is a budget phone at its best.
Finally I can afford the Nokia 3315.
Not bad!! It's even running Nougat 7.1.1, most mid-range and some high-end phone's aren't even running that O.S yet🤔
Moto keeps it _very_ close to stock, so there's not much for them to change when updates roll out anyway.
I just bought one (Feb 22,2018) for $40 at Wal-Mart. It's a pretty solid backup phone or one to walk around with.

Spoiled and premium
damn that's a killer phone
How can you get it for that price? In the Netherlands the moto E4 costs 149 euro.
iSuperPinda that's just what it costs in your country
iSuperPinda It's $130 Unlocked in the US. $70 is for the Verizon Prepaid version..
70$ is for verizon phone plans, not unlocked, take a look at your mobile companies phone plans and what they can discount :)
Everest thirdteenth isn't verizon phone sold already unlocked according to recent news?
I think verizon version is unlocked, but you do get verizon bloat
Is the bootloader unlockable? Guessing not since Verizon.
get one for root testing and tweaks
Every Walmart that I have visited has this phone available for $39.00 ! I bought one just to see what you get for less than 50 bucks in a smartphone and was so impressed that I went back and bought a second one just for back up.
definitely going to wait for the full review
when it will be available in India
Android authority I love you videos, keep doing wat you do and do t give up
I like the phone but hates Verizon
Declen Davis why hate? Verizon has the best coverage
+Been Dead Since 2012 Best coverage but not so best pricing
Sky King depending on your location and your phone , but overall Verizon has the best coverage . I had T mobile and AT&T but their signal is weak in my area. I'm on Verizon now and I can even make a phone call in side the hospital. with t mobile and AT&T I have to walk outside to the parking lot and still get weak signal. also Verizon is better in rural areas if you on the road a lot
Dope 聪明 I'm on prepaid with unlimited talk and text with 3gb of Data for $40 a month.
+Been Dead Since 2012 While i can get unlimited talk, text and unlimited 3g data on Simple Mobile for $30
for $70? I'm getting it. all you suckers paying $700+ for a cellphone that will cost $150 to fix a broken screen.... wait I got a Moto g4 play for $50 and I think it's better than e4

Been Dead Since 2012 The E4 has a faster (Snapdragon 425) processor than Moto G4 Play.
areeb1296 The E4 model sold in the United States has a snapdragon 425. The international model has the mediatek chipset
For $20 more you're getting a faster processor and a fingerprint sensor. E4 is better than the G4 play
Priyam Tolani but g4 can record video in 1080p , e4 only 720p. it's not important but just saying
i hate how phone reviewers are surprised that phones that don't cost upwards of 600$ actually work...
70$ that's like 3 weilong gts2M cubes.
;)
Phew...Glad to see someone here knows about cubes :P
woah dude, great phone considering the price
So does it have google assistant ?
i alredy have the moto z play should i get this?
If I were to buy this phone could I use this on my Sprint plan? I want to do this because my phone is on a lease and I have to return it by the end of the plan.
would this be good for a first phone and would it stay fastish for possibly 1-2years
is this $70.00 on Amazon as well or you've got go to carrier ?
Fingerprint, Nougat 7.1.1,5inch Display,8MP with flash rear & Front with flash.Motorola Camera is good,SD card option,2GB RAM in just 70$.The best deal we ever get.So amazing.Motorola is back
I have this phone, amazing for the price!

What about the battery?
Vishal Chauhan Moto E4 Plus has a 5000 mAh battery, while this one has 3000 mAh (I think)
E4 has a 2800 mAh battery, but he forgot to mention it's replaceable
how good is the fingerprint senser?
In Dubai how much will the Moto e4 (not plus version) cost that is unlocked without any mobile career involved?
where can u buy this phone?
I know it’s completely out topic but I need help with a Galaxy S5, screen rotation stopped working, the only way for it to work (for a couple of hours) is by disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. Any suggestions? Thank you.
otg supported?
Is it or will it be available in Europe at the same price? Is it better than my Moto G 3rg gen?
SirW0nka This is the price for the Verizon Prepaid version in the USA. The unlocked version will run you about 150 Euro..
is it Verizon exclusive? means can I buy this from India?
removable battery?
My school is getting these phones. Every 9th, 10th, and some 11th/12th graders are receiving these phone for free! I think my school is part of this Sprint 1Million Project. Also the phones come with unlimited data, unlimited calls/texts, and hotspot capability!
Where can you buy it for 70$
Washed out colors? He must be joking. The screen is very vibrant for an LCD. He probably has it at the non vibrant setting.
JasnoGT maybe he means it gets washed out when looked at an angle?
I bought mine Verizon version at Walmart for 39.86
it's Cost 70$ as Sim Free or On Contract..??
SAIF MALIK $70 Prepaid from Verizon. Fully unlocked? It's $130 USD..
Does it have a finger print
Curious can anyone answer I got the metro version Moto e4 so does it have 3d touch? I lightly push the phone and option screen for that app comes up is that considered 3d touch?

anyone have battery benchmark on this one? gsmarena and phonearena have no info on it. :(

Looks good. Hopefully, there will be a gsm model at this price.
Thank you for all your vids
I cracked my screen on mines. But it's still going lol. I really like this phone. I had a Samsung note 5 so I do miss my pen lol. My screen faded to blue/black on my note 5 and the screen replacement wasn't worth it with no warranty left.

how come the animation on the home button like on the pixel?
benjamin decraene Is the Pixel launcher
Does this work on European networks?
I used to own a moto E was smaller than 5" back then. Had 2GB usable storage haha.. now own a one plus 5.
It’s amazing for the price

does it work with gsm bands if you buy the unlock code on ebay?
When will this be available in Pakistan? This would be a perfect replacement for my current Droid Ultra
2gb ram and they sell it 70$ and in Greece with 70€ I bought the last September a zte with 1gb ram and no 720p resolution, I want it
do you know sth about x4 2017?
Moto E4 is the best phone for kids.
DT B Moto E4
Right
Kids or adults
Moto E4 or Lg K20plus?
the thing is Verizon locked it down and you have to use a prepaid service for it
iTechUOutGuy Yeah, and the unlocked version is still $130..
what abt front camera & battery capacity...????
Shahul Hameed It has a 5 MP front camera (with flash) and a removable 2800mAh battery.
Wow that's truly impresive.
I'm on Verizon but I really wish it was the Moto e4 plus. it's 5.5" and has. 5000mah battery. I wish Verizon would sell the plus instead for an extra 20 or so.
Lenovo doing it right with that pricing.
Robert Llobrera Jr. Lenivo 😂😂
Gianluccas Palhuca edited. Thanks! 😂
Robert Llobrera Jr. No problem :) 😂
I wonder how much the Amazon Prime exclusive version will be
Motorola is back on the role again, I'll take 4 of them, please.
Moto g4 vs e4? Which won is better. Plz comment if u know.
should I get lg g6 European version or oneplus 5
Sir Gr8King G6
Achi tell me why you picked that over oneplus 5
how much would something like this cost 3 years ago?
Still looks better than the Oneplus 5
Is this phone locked to Verizon?
I love my Moto E4, even compared to some more expensive phones. However one downside is that the fingerprint scanner is absolutely garbage.
No way my man John V with Android authority?
40 dollars right now at Walmart. 2 dollars to unlock it on eBay.
I got this as a media device. The Verizon prepaid version at Walmart is $40, it's locked on prepaid but that doesn't matter since it's just a media device for me. I can't believe how great it works. Makes my Z Force seem like a complete rip off, except the camera
where can I get one in my country for that price , really . usually it bumps to $150 :/
Didn’t I see that John V was retiring a few months ago?
It's down to $39.99 at Walmart currently.
Is an all glass phone that shatters from being dropped a few feet really premium ? The worry and price of a so called premium phone just doesn't seem worth it anymore . I have an s10e and an s8 .I just ordered the moto e4 for a cheap care free lightweight fits in my pocket experience.

Does anyone know if the US unlocked version supports usb OTG?
the return of OG Moto G
I just bought a used LG G Flex 2 in good condition for one of my friends. I paid 70€ which roughly translates to 80USD. A better deal in any way, at least in my opinion.
$70?! They're $200 in Canada. Same price as my Mote E2. I think I'm gonna cave and buy this one.
Its free at sprint... Should i buy?
how many fidget spinners would $70 get you though...?
7 bullshit spinners
THE ONEPLUS KILLER!!!
Can you guys review redmi note 4 both snapdragon n helio version..
I spy with my little eye, a great back up phone
This is the kind of phone we should be praising, a $70 not those $1000
