Motorola Launches Moto E4 Plus With Massive 5000 mAh Battery For Multi-Day Endurance

If you were a bit disappointed to hear that the Moto Z2 Play took a step backwards with regards to battery life (its capacity was reduced from 3,510 mAh to 3,000 mAh), Motorola has a new battery life champ waiting in the wings. Today, we bring the you the Moto E⁴ Plus, which will deliver almost two full days of battery life according to Motorola.

This incredible battery life is made possible by a 5,000 mAh battery that is backed by a quad-core processor and a 5.5-inch HD display. And when your battery does run dry, Motorola says that you can get a few hours of runtime in just minutes with the included 10W rapid charger. Other features include a front-mounted fingerprint reader, 13MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash, a 5MP selfie camera with LED flash, and LTE connectivity.

Moto E⁴ Plus

If you prefer a smaller display and don’t need two days of battery life, Motorola will also offer the Moto E⁴, which features a much smaller 2,800 mAh battery and a 5-inch HD display. It too features an unnamed quad-core processor and a 5MP front facing camera. However, its rear shooter has been downgraded to 8MP. Both smartphones will also come with Google’s Android 7.1 operating system, with minimal bloatware installed. However, we are hopeful that a timely update to Android O will be provided.

Moto E⁴

The Moto E⁴ Plus and Moto E⁴ will be available later this month priced at $179 and $129 respectively. In addition, the Moto E⁴ will be available as an Amazon Prime Exclusive Phone, however, pricing on that model hasn’t been established at this point.
