What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

The Moto E4 is powered by a Snapdragon 425 chip that is surprisingly speedy for a low-priced phone. It won't play Asphalt 8 as well as a Samsung S8, but for less resource-intensive games it will be fine! Just for the technically-minded here are 2 popular benchmark scores
Geekbench 4
Single Core 649
Multi Core 1819
Antutu v 6.2.7
34947
These scores aren't going to impress a hard-core gamer, but for most people, they're pretty good! The newer 400 and 600 series Qualcomm chips aren't much slower than the 800 series from a couple of years back. This phone takes a nano-sim, so you may need to see your carrier or have a friend trim your micro-sim to use it in this phone! The camera is an 8 MP 1080 P shooter. I took a couple of daylight snaps and they looked quite decent! The 5 MP selfie camera has a flash ...a nice addition. I'll post them to this review later. This Moto model has a micro USB input for charging, not the USB-C type which is on newer, more expensive phones, so you can re-use your older cords and chargers.
Here are the available bands:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA B1 (2100)/ B2 (1900)/ B4 (1700/2100)/ B5 (850)/ B8 (900)MHz
CDMA BC0 (850) BC1 (1900) BC10 (850+)
LTE TDD 38/41
FDD Band 1/2/4/5/7/8/12(lower 700 1bc)/13 (upper 700)/17 (lower 700 bc)/25/26/66
The fingerprint sensor works very well and is a great feature at this price point!!
This phone like the G4 and G5 Plus Moto models, also features dual-band Wireless N, so you folks with dual-band wireless routers can take advantage of the 5Mhz band, releaving the stress on your overburdened 2.4 Mhz band. This makes for faster app downloads and YouTube and Amazon Prime videos that don't stutter and drop frames! Put that cable TV app on your phone and you have another TV set!
I'd recommend the Moto E4 to anyone who wants a quality phone at a low price. It's a better buy than the older Moto G Play, which sells for the same price. It has an even newer version of Android Nougat 7.1.1 (May 1, 2017 security patch) than the Moto G5 Plus. It's a great first smartphone for someone or as a backup to your flagship phone. It's also perfectly suitable to be the daily driver for someone who really doesn't need an expensive phone. Buying this phone, is like buying a Toyota Corolla ...it's not super fancy, like a Lexus, but it gets you where you need to go!
I picked up a few accessories when I ordered this phone as well. I got a micro sd card SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card - SDSQXAF-032G-GN6MA [Newest Version ] which I formatted for Internal Memory. It's a faster u3 type which is better to use as internal storage. I've also switched to glass screen protectors, which surprisingly, are easier to install than the matte or clear sheet type are. Moto E4 Screen Protector, Wellci [ 2 Pack ] Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Moto E4 (Ultra Clear) This was one of the few brands available when I bought my phone. The selection may be better now. For a case, I purchased the Moto E4 Case, LONTECT [Heavy Duty] [Shock-Absorption] [Kickstand Feature] Hybrid Dual Layer Armor Defender Case Cover for Moto E4 - Grey I like this style of case as it offers good protection and has a nice stand to use your E4 as a TV or for watching your Amazon Prime and YouTube content. It is available under several brand names!
* Please check any case carefully before you buy it. Thanks to Donavon Hornbeck for pointing out that many of the E4 cases are for the International Version, which has the microphone opening above the camera lens and the earphone jack in a different place. Only purchase a case with the microphone opening to the left of the Camera lens for the E4 USA version! I bought the wrong one, but I'll drill a small hole and fix that!
Update: 08/01/2017 Last night I was in Walmart, and saw they are selling the Verizon Prepaid version of the Moto E4 for $39.95! For Verizon prepaid customers who need a better phone, it’s an absolute bargain. But please be aware that it’s a locked phone, that only has Verizon’s LTE bands 2,4 and 13, so you can’t use it on AT&T or T-Mobile or smaller MVNOs that buy minutes from them. It lacks a GSM radio! Verizon gives you a hard time if you want to use it on your postpaid account, so be aware of that situation as well!
Sprint and its discount daughter Boost, as well as Metro PCS, are now selling the Moto E4 in gold. The drawback is …that it doesn’t have the fingerprint sensor on it, so it’s not such a great deal for $49.95

Back to the good I love the look of the phone, the software is mostly stock and clean even with all the Amazon stuff, the micro-sd card slot helps over the only 16gb storage, the fingerprint scanner works great as well as the gestures built into it to replace the on screen buttons. The front facing flash is a neat feature as well. This is a great phone and I highly recommend it for the price.
One last note all of the accessories I bought for it were duds and didn't line up quite right with this phone but I did preorder it before it was released so maybe the accessorie companies will fix that soon.
1. The Amazon version is fine for me. As long as lock screen notifications are enabled, the Amazon ads never go full screen and are quite unobtrusive (I use the “Network Type Indicator” app available on Google Play to ensure there’s always an active lock screen notification--and the app is very handy in its own right). Likewise, as a heavy user of Amazon services, the pre-installed apps are OK as well; I probably would have installed most of them anyway.
2. For a variety of reasons, I carry two phones; one on AT&T and one on Verizon, both through TracFone (I’m a light user of cellular voice and data so the TracFone model works for me; my average cost per phone is about $7 per month).
The Moto E4 will serve as my backup phone but I was a bit concerned about whether it could be activated on TracFone’s CDMA network. No problem. It was activated by transferring the phone number and airtime balances from an older phone and while the customer service rep was a bit hesitant at first, once she verified that the IMEI was compatible with their BYOP (bring your own phone) plan, activation--using the $1.00 TracFone SIM kit available on Amazon--proceeded smoothly. And guess what? The hotspot feature also works just fine on TracFone’s CDMA network.
3. The fingerprint reader works surprisingly well and if used for one-button navigation (set via the “Moto” app) it can free up a bit of screen real estate otherwise reserved for the usual Android navigation soft buttons.
4. Performance is quite snappy. I know that some complex games might drop a frame here and there but since I’ll be using the device mostly for business and backcountry navigation, the Snapdragon 425 quad-core CPU and 2gb of RAM are more than adequate. And speaking of navigation, the Moto E4 includes a magnetometer (e-compass) that was eliminated on a several recent Motorola phones. No compass would have been a deal buster for me and this one seems to work well.
5. Unlike many phones today, the Moto E4 includes an FM radio that actually works well. Wired headphones need to be plugged into the top-mounted headset jack to serve as an antenna, but once they're in place, the FM app allows the sound to be routed either through the headphones or through the phone’s speaker (nice).
6. There’s no external charging or message LED indicator, but the phone includes an alternative that’s fine for me. If the device at rest is moved even slightly, a faint blue display pops for a couple of seconds that shows the charging status, date, time and other info.
7. The 2800mAh battery is removable and is the same model (GK-40) used on the Moto G4 Play phone. It’s widely available online (currently sells for about $12 on EBay) though it doesn’t appear to be available directly (yet?) from Motorola.
I may add to these notes later as I continue to use the device.
