This applies even more to the G4 Plus, since its price hike of about $50 over the regular G4, place it in an even more competitive price segment.

The Adreno 405 will deliver lower level of graphical effects than what you get from similarly priced 5.5" 1080p phones. Some would have benefitted from the more powerful A72 cores used in newer chipsets, but it's really the games that take a hit. The Lenovo Moto G4 Plus is definitely fast enough for daily use and most apps will be happy with it.
The G4 Plus still mostly holds its own within its price range. GFX 3.1 Manhattan (1080p offscreen)īasemark X shows that even the Helio X10 chipset (with a PowerVR G6200 GPU) is a bit faster.

However, it might just hold the key to a Nougat update in the future. GFX 3.0 Manhattan (1080p offscreen)Īs already mentioned, the Adreno 405 is pretty much helpless when it comes to OpenGL ES 3.1 rendering.

Games definitely won't run at the full resolution of the G4's screen, but will have to upscale instead.
MOTO G4 GEEKBENCH 720P
Moving over to the GPU, the Adreno 405 did fine in the 720p days, but it always struggled on 1080p. Then there is the Snapdragon 820 inside the Xiaomi Mi 5 and LeEco Le Max 2, which are both on a whole different level performance-wise.įor multicore performance, however, the eight A53 cores in the MediaTek version of the Redmi note 3 come out ahead. They are about twice as fast as the A53 core of the Moto phone. You can see the power of the A72 cores used in the the Redmi note 3 (Snapdragon 650) in the single-core test. These, along with some other devices we picked out as mostly price rivals of the G4 Plus, provide a few excellent points for performance comparison across the board. The Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) packs an Exynos 7870, while the Oppo R7s uses an older Snapdragon 615 chipset. The Meizu m3 note has Helio P10, which sits below the X10. We have tested Redmi 3 with both the Helio X10 chipset and the Snapdragon 650. The 5.5" 1080p segment is fairly popular and includes high-profile devices like the Xiaomi Redmi 3 and the Meizu m3 Note. That means the Moto G4 and G4 Plus still have an update path lined up for the future, when a lot of more powerful older devices are currently left lacking any support from Qualcomm on the matter and will likely be missing out on the fresh Google goodness. As will become quite clear from the GPU tests, it can't really do much with it in terms of 3D rendering, but the latter is a prerequisite for running Android 7 Nougat. If you opt for 4GB of RAM, you get some extra multitasking wiggle room as well.Īs for the other "win", of sorts, while quite underwhelming performance-wise, the Adreno 405 does, at least support OpenGL ES 3.1.
Just like the G4, its plus sibling is very snappy while performing most everyday tasks. For one, there is the undeniable speed bonus that comes with using a vanilla Android ROM.
There are still, however, a couple of silver linings to enjoy, or at least be content with. The G4 unfortunately doesn't get to enjoy any of that even in its Plus variant. Not to mention that the latter has the major advantage of being made on an efficient 14nm process. The CPU clock speed is lower compared to the chipset that replaces it - the 625. The Snapdragon 617 SoC is part of the older generation, you can mostly tell by the old Adreno 405 GPU. That definitely leaves the G4 Plus at a performance disadvantage, even within its modest $250 or so price range. There is also the addition of a 4GB RAM option for some extra cash, but sadly, that seems to be the only hardware improvement Motorola has decided to offer. As already mentioned, Motorola's take on an upgraded "Plus" device for this generation of Moto G phones is mostly confined within the bounds of a new camera and a fingerprint reader.
