There's also an optical fingerprint sensor wedged underneath that screen — it works well enough, but it isn't nearly as fast as in-display sensors we've tested in other devices. Thankfully, the rest of the phone runs much more smoothly, thanks to the octa-core Snapdragon with 4GB of RAM tucked away inside, and all of the usual Moto Actions are back once more.
You'll find a healthy GB of storage to play with right out of the box, and if you pop out the SIM tray, you can also add up to GB of additional space. Oh, and there's a headphone jack on the bottom of the phone, right next to the USB-C port.
As undeniably useful as they are, it's a little odd that headphone jacks only seem to be making a comeback on mid-range phones, but that's a story for another time. Notably, the Z4 also packs a 3,mAh battery into that slim frame. That's the biggest battery Motorola has ever used in one of its Z-series device, and the change is a welcome one — in the old days, you generally needed an external battery Mod to get a Moto Z device to last for more than one day without a trip to a power outlet.
Two facets of the Moto Z4 experience require a little more scrutiny — let's start with design.
With Motola tracking Software, you will never have to worry about the integrity of your employees again. Installing spy app on Moto G7, Moto Z4, Moto e6 or any. The new Moto Z4 is the latest Motorola to support its Moto Mod Motorola doesn't have a great track record of updating its phones when new.
For years, Moto Zs have been blocky devices with flat backs to accommodate all of the magnetic Moto Mods you're supposed to attached to them. This year, Motorola went with a matte glass back that's both reminiscent of OnePlus phones and slightly curved so it's more comfortable to hold onto. As that early hands-on suggested, that curve means the Z4 doesn't have as much flat surface area on its back, so the edges of some Moto Mods might jut out slightly.
Motorola says it extensively tested all of its Mods on the Z4 so it doesn't foresee any issues with the redesign, but I can't help but wonder if some older Mods won't be more prone to popping off. Newer Moto Mods, like the 5G add-on and the updated game controller and Alexa speaker mods Motorola is working on won't have this problem.
I should also point out that, as usual, the Z4 isn't fully water-resistant — Motorola says it's coated in a nano-repellent to keep droplets of water out, but dropping this thing in a pool over the summer could be the worst thing you could do to it. And then there are the cameras. Rather than go for anything more elaborate, Motorola went with just two sensors: a 25MP front-facing camera and a 48MP main camera resting in the classic, circular hump around back.

Motorola's Night Vision mode can produce some bright, Insta-worthy photos though it's still notably less effective than Google's Night Sight. These are basic worries that the vast majority look in any event some of the time in their lives. Your email address will not be published.
By default, the phone uses a process called pixel binning to treat clusters of pixels on both of those sensors as single larger ones, for better detail and less noise especially in low-light situations. That's probably for the best, though you can shoot selfies at full-resolution if you really wanted to. More importantly, some of the new camera features that debuted on the One Vision are here too. Motorola's Night Vision mode can produce some bright, Insta-worthy photos though it's still notably less effective than Google's Night Sight.
AI shot composition seems more immediately useful: It allows the phone to look at the photo you just took, and automatically crop and level the image to look a little tidier if your framing is off. Oh wait, you did that on purpose? That's fine, too — when the feature is enabled, Motorola's suggestions get saved alongside the original.
The Z4 is shaping up to be a perfectly adequate upper-mid-range device, but I can't help but long for the days when that "Z" denoted full, flagship power. As Motorola freely admitted at its launch event, though, it hasn't released a high-end Z phone since — in fact, if you look at Motorola's lineup, there really isn't a traditional premium flagship at all. Granted, nearly all of the success Motorola has found over the past few months has been because of its affordable mid-range devices, but it does sort of feel like the company is intentionally keeping its high-end offerings limited to make room for its first foldable smartphone.
Sorry: Unlike last time , Motorola artfully dodged all questions about future products. After a bit of testing, the Pixel 3a offers similar levels of performance, but unsurprisingly blows the Z4 out of the water when it comes to camera performance and access to new versions of Android.
