After days of teasing, Motorola launched the much awaited Moto E4 Plus in New Delhi on July 12.

The new Moto E4 series comes not only with several upgrades over the Moto E3 Power, but also new features such as metal-clad body, Moto display and biometric-based finger print sensor, a first for any Moto E series phones until now.

The Moto E4 Plus, as the name suggests, is the top-end variant among the two. It sports a bigger 5.5-inch HD screen, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 13MP camera on the back, a 5MP shooter on the front and a massive 5,000mAh battery with rapid charging technology.
