The Moto G4 features a rather modest mid-range specsheet with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, octa-core Snapdragon processor, and 13MP main camera while the larger Moto G4 Plus has more memory and sharper camera to offer.

Coming from the Moto X series, the successor is now the Moto Z with the Z Force featuring a larger battery and more megapixels than on the standard Moto Z. Meanwhile, the Moto Z model shares the same Snapdragon 820 chipset, 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display, and semi-modular design.

We estimate the Moto G series will start from PHP7,000 and the Moto Z for about PHP26,000 and up. But as usual, we will give you the official listing in the coming days while stay tuned for our reviews and comparisons.
