Lenovo-owned Moto has reduced the prices of the Moto G4 series ahead of Christmas in the US.
The company is offering cash discounts up to $40 on the popular mid-range smartphone series Moto G4. With the announcement the 16GB storage variant can be grabbed for $179.99 as against the original price of $ 199.99 and the 32GB storage model is available at $189.99 against the original price of $229.99.
Moto is offering free delivery service, but will charge extra, if the prospective buyer chooses to accessorize the device via Moto Maker.
For those unaware, the Moto G4 is a low-end model of the Moto G4 Plus. Both the phones share most of the specifications. The key differentiating factors between the two models is that the latter houses fingerprint sensor on the home button and a superior 16MP primary camera with laser autofocus on the back, whereas the former features a 13MP snapper on the back and it lacks biometric security sensor. Other specifications remain the same in the both the devices.
They sport a 5.5-inch full HD display with Gorilla Glass 3 shield and run Android Marshmallow OS, Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor, and a 3000mAh battery with Turbo charger.
As of now, the company has not announced any discounts on Moto G4 Play and the top-end G4 Plus. But, they are expected to receive similar price cut in the coming days, probably around Christmas Eve.
