Lenovo-owned Motorola has just launched its new smartphone, the Moto X4 in the Indian market. The launch comes after a number of rumours and speculations about the highly anticipated device by Motorola.

The Moto X4 features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) LTPS IPS LCD display panel with a protection of Corning Gorilla Glass. Lenovo has packed an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 clocked at up to 2.2 GHz along with Adreno 508 GPU to handle graphics-intensive tasks.
