Night Vision made images brighter but often processed them too much. In the photo below, of a tree I took after sunset, there's a weird digital stippling effect over the clouds, and it's surrounded by patchy smears of noise reduction. I found Night Vision gave the best results in medium-to-low light like indoors. The Z4 uses 8 photos to improve photos taken in low-light. Here there is an odd mix of digital noise and smears of noise reduction.
Video from the Moto Z4 is nothing special. It can shoot 4K, but videos looked oversharpened and struggle from noise in low-light.
Selfies are actually good as long as you have a nice amount of light. Perhaps the most impressive feature on the Moto Z4 is the big honking battery on the inside. In our looped video tests in airplane mode, the battery lasted 19 hours and 21 minutes, which is nearly 5 hours longer than we got with last year's Moto Z3.
Home Support Motorola Motorola moto z4 moto z - Turn GPS Location On / Off. Satellite or standalone GPS services require more power and have a greater effect on battery life. If preferred, the GPS mode can be customized. To remotely locate your phone, location services must be on. If not, you can still lock and erase your phone but you will not be able to see the device's current.
And in actual use, even with the battery-sucking camera Mod attached, the Moto Z4 got through two days on a single charge. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic.

I can only recommend a few mods, though, such as the battery mod for longer battery life, the JBL Soundboost 2 speaker mod for blasting music, the wireless charging mod , and the Polaroid Insta-Share Printer mod.
At the very bottom are pogo pins that are required for data transmission between Moto Mods and the phone. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 as well, and Motorola has jumped on the bezel-less and notch bandwagon. The edges surrounding the screen are slim, and that delivers a larger 6. This makes apps and other content look good.
The screen is bright for most conditions, but can be tough to see in direct sunlight. Screen resolution is similar, though the Moto Z4 does offer higher brightness levels. Comparing speakers is an entirely different story. The Moto Z4 has top-firing speakers that are too easy to block when holding the phone in landscape mode. The Pixel 3a XL has two speakers — one front facing and one bottom-firing — and not only is it louder, but it also delivers richer sound.
You definitely need a speaker Moto Mod if you want a good experience. Things get worse when you permanently attach Moto Mod to the back — like the wireless charging mod — as the 2. Gone is the sensor that used to sit on the side of the phone. My tests say otherwise. I initially had a lot of trouble getting it to work, but the trick is to scan your fingerprint multiple times; it works a lot better.
The right side of the phone has a textured power button below a volume rocker. You can double tap the power button to trigger Google Assistant by default, which is a nice touch. On the bottom edge is a USB-C charging port, alongside — wait for it — a headphone jack! Customers complained. This gives me mixed feelings.
On the one hand, phones like the Pixel 3a which has the Snapdragon hardly had any issues, even when playing games like PUBG: Mobile. This rings true with the Moto Z4.
It performs admirably. I did notice the Moto Z4 does tend to get warm quite quickly, which means prolonged gaming may be an issue as the processor will throttle performance. That chipset is much faster and will hold up better as the years pass by. The Z4 does beat out the Pixel 3a, however. Mobile Multi-product bundles Internet Television Telephony.
