There is also a dedicated memory storage slot to expanded memory up to 128 GB via MicroSDXC. The device also comes with Moto Actions which supports and responds to motions and gestures. It has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, and an FM radio receiver.[4] The Moto G4 also supports 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity. The device ships with Android 6.0 "Marshmallow".[5] It features 'Turbopower' charging that gives up to six hours of battery life after just 15 minutes of charging.[6]

The Moto G4 is available in a standard model, the Moto G4 Play, and the Moto G4 Plus.
