Moto Z4 – Unlocked – 128 GB – Flash Gray (US Warranty)

Don't listen to all the negative attention this phone has been getting from mainstream reviewers that are putting this phone down because it doesn't sport the fastest processor on the market or that it still supports moto mods. Its like saying in order to browse the internet on your computer you have to buy an expensive gaming rig with an I9 processor even though you just need a cheap I3 that perfectly does the job. Does it make any sense to buy a flagship phone just for the specs when processors have gotten fast enough that the fastest is just not necessary anymore? Your just wasting your money if you buy into the fastest processor nonsense. Motorola is smart, they are trying to make a phone that is practical, affordable and high quality all at the same time. I know there are other phones similarly priced with better specs but the reason I choose this phone over the others is the moto mods which is the whole point of this phone. I'm coming from a Moto Z Play which i sadly broke and was forced to upgrade and knew right away going back to the Z line of phones was a no brainier considering the great experience i had with my Z Play.So far my experience with the Z4 has been great. The phone feels solid and the processor is quick and handles all tasks i throw at it with ease. Aside from the obvious features like the beautiful OLED screen or the much applauded return of the headphone jack, what sets this phone apart is the gesture support, the always on display and the moto mods. These three things are what made me want to invest in another Z phone and have made me a loyal Motorola customer.The gestures and convenience of the always on display to see your notifications put this phone on another level in terms of practicality and usability. You don't realize how useful and easier your whole experience is with these features is until you try to use another phone without them.The mods are another great way to add super functionality to this phone. The whole point of the mods are to accentuate certain features that one may find useful in every day life to add to their experience and there are mods to fit everyone's tastes. For example since I'm a power user battery life is very important to me. The convenience of having an extra battery mod you can just slap onto the phone to get you through the day without having battery anxiety is such a relief. I constantly hear that the phone is not worth it from other online reviewers since mods are expensive, but the phone is priced in such a way that most real world users would probably stick to one or two mods that really add value to their phone experience so essentially it works out as if your paying a for a flagship phone in the end but with a far more superior experience with the mod you need. As long as Motorola keeps making a Z phone compatible with the current mods they are a good investment as they can be used in future phone upgrades. Also people like myself are more inclined to stay with Motorola phones as a result and the investment one makes pays off in the end. The only gripe i do have with the mods is that they are hard to officially obtain unless you go on eBay and pay inflated prices due to lack of availability on many of the mods through official channels. I think Motorola needs to improve the availability of the mods if they are to continue making modular phones and want people to invest more in them and take the Z line more seriously.Another point I've seen reviewers crap on this phone for is its design and how the moto mods keep it from being innovative but the reality is that there's no need to break compatibility with the mods in order to slightly change the shape and size of the phone when its perfectly fine the way it is and Motorola has been able to evolve and refine the phone with every new generation using the same form factor. They did however slightly change the curve of the bezel on the back so the mods don't sit flush as they did on previous Z phones. I'll admit that at first the small gap did feel weird when i slapped a mod onto the Z4 but i found myself quickly getting used to the small change and its something i can live with.The final and most important thing i want to talk about is the in display finger print sensor since many people seem to have trouble getting it to properly work. At first i had trouble getting the finger print sensor to accurately scan my finger and unlock the phone. It was probably unlocking with a 50% failure rate which was very frustrating but i found the solution that has made it work 100% of the time, yes I said 100%. The trick is to not follow the on screen instructions to scan your fingers at different angles. Just keep scanning your fingers at the same angle you would as if you would normally unlock your phone over and over till its done scanning. This method actually worked and now the in display sensor is just as accurate and fast as it was on my original Z play. So the sensor actually works great and is very accurate as long as you follow my unofficial instructions. So if your one of the many having problems try re-scanning with this method and you'll see the difference too. The facial unlock feature is also very fast and accurate and i also have that enabled as an additional convenience.Overall I'm very pleased with this phone and hope that Motorola continues to keep the Z line alive in the future. The direction Motorola is going in with the Z line by making it a premium upper mid-range modular phone is a win in my opinion. This is the only way the mods will stand the test of time by keeping costs reasonable with this phone. The Z4 has a place in today's competitive market by offering something different and clearly Motorola is doing something right with the Z line of phones now that they have gone into a 4th generation with the modular phone design past their initial 3 year promise. Whether your using this phone with a mod or on its own its a really good phone either way and you wont be disappointed.

My wife, an avid Apple fan got finally got tired of the problems and the cost associated with Apple. I have a Z2 Play and purchased this for her...she loves it! ...and it has a headphone jack. What idiot thought it was a good idea to do away with these (Apple) should be shot). I would much rather have a thicker phone and a better would experience than a thin phone. Bluetooth headphones are convenient but unless you spend a ton of money, the sound quality is not there... sorry for the rant.The only downside is the finger print reader. Nice idea putting it behind the screen but she can hardly get it to work. I have better luck but I did find it's VERY sensitive to how hard you press. I'm guessing that the harder you press the more you "deform" your fingerprint.My only other issue with Motorola is updates. You might get one if your lucky... Overall, happy with the phone but I do wish they would keep up with the updates.

After almost 2 months the phone is now losing internet connection, I'm now also missing phone calls, they are going to voicemail instead of ringing.

Our family has been a fan of the Moto Z family of products since its inception. We have almost every Moto mod ever made (most of them in multiples since we have 3 family members each with their own phones). And, we usually upgrade every time a new Z comes out, so the Z4 was a much anticipated upgrade and we bought it the day it was released. I am not going to spend a lot of time in this review talking about the usefulness of Moto Mods (we find the Hasselbad camera, JBL speakers, projector and battery mods infinitely useful; we wish there were other new mods coming out but Moto seems to have lost focus on new developments in that area). I am also not going to compare this to an iPhone or Samsung.... if you are looking at the Z4 you are interested in the mods, and the Z family with mods is unique in the market. You might say that the iPhone has a better camera (debatable, as the Z4 camera is fantastic), but the iPhone and Samsung don’t have pop on / pop off batteries, a high quality optical lens camera attachment, etc. so any comparison boils down to whether you value the mods. IF you do, the only choice is a Moto Z.There are some positives, and a few big negatives comparing the Z4 to its predecessors.Positives: Loved Android 9 (“Pie”) which was installed out of the box, no upgrade needed. Battery life was a huge improvement. With my heavily used device (multiple GPS apps, bluetooth, lots of long calls) my Z3 Play without a battery back would last about 5-8 hours before I would need to slap a battery mod onto it; but the Z4 would go all day and I never need to add a battery mod as long as I can get it to a charger by sleep time. The 1080p screen is gorgeous and much easier to read in sunlight versus the Z3 Play. All around, the device is much faster, snappier and apps work better. Love that this has 128GB out of the box storage. The built in camera is excellent with 48 megapixels and a high quality sensor - night mode actually works. The camera software is also much improved with additional filter features for social media integration.Negatives: The screen while excellent is much more fragile than the Z3, Z2 or Z. My Z4 is already in the shop for a screen repair after a very short (2 foot) drop to a tile floor that killed the entire screen. All of my other Z phones survived much, much worse than that on multiple occasions. The moto mods do not fit flush to the phone due to a slightly curved beveled edge that the Z4 has; an aesthetic issue only but it really might bother some folks. The 360 camera is not very useful because poor software makes it limited (especially when it comes to editing which is a critical part of the 360 camera experience). The on-screen fingerprint sensor is extremely sensitive to movement, finger placement, angle and cleanliness of screen and finger. Many times it just doesn’t work or requires multiple unlock attempts. This is a problem with all on-screen fingerprint readers I think, and I would much prefer to go back to the separate reader.

Excelente celular.El celular es muy eficiente y rápido.Respecto a la cámara, superó mis expectativas y la verdad el modo visión nocturna funciona de maravilla.Funciona excelente con AT&T México.La huella digital en la pantalla funciona perfectamente y rápido.En lo general y en mi opinión este celular es perfecto.El único problema que tuve fue en el envío con el despacho de aduanas, ya que se retraso en aduanas.

Great phone

Estoy totalmente satisfecho con el equipo, corre excelente con muchas aplicaciones en segundo plano a la vez, ambas camaras son de buena calidad en distintas condiciones (dia/noche) carga aprox en 2 horas al 100% y con un uso constante la bateria soporta practicamente el dia completo, los mods no embonan perfectamente, pero trabajan a la perfeccion y el precio que tome en promocion fue lo mejor ya que pague casi $6000 menos que el precio que marca motorola.En pocas palabras fue la mejor compra del 2019

La calidad de imagen de las cámaras en sensacional, aunque solo es una cámara frontal y una trasera, el software que las opera da grandes prestaciones en este sentido. El moto mod360 una maravilla!Solo que los 4 Gb Ram llegan a resentirse cuando tienes 2 o 3 aplicaciones abiertas y quieres utilizar la cámara, no es tan rápida la respuesta para abrir, tomar, cambiar a video o entre cámaras. Si no eres demasiado exigente, esto no es un inconveniente a un gran equipo.

A quien corresponda buenas tardes, este producto tiene fallas en el sistema, espero que se pueda resolver este problema de este equipo y me puedan hacer un cambio ya que la falla es el identificador de llamadas todas las llamadas entrantes aparecen desconocidas, y eso es del firmware del sistema.
