The Moto flair is there
Before we dissect the hardware that makes the Moto X4 Android One tick, remember that this is a review of the Android One version of the device. There are currently three variants of the Moto X4 floating around, including an unlocked version available on Amazon for $330 with ads on the lock screen.
