Moto Z4 Unveiled With Snapdragon 675 SoC & 48MP Rear Camera

Today, Lenovo-owned Motorola unveiled the Moto Z4, which is the successor to the Moto Z3 that launched last year. The handset comes with mid-range specifications showing that the brand doesn’t offer flagship devices in its Moto Z series anymore.

Even though the Moto Z3 came with the powerful Snapdragon 835 SoC, the Moto Z4 has a downgrade in the processor as it is only equipped with a mid-range Snapdragon 675 SoC. Both of the phones have the same RAM. However, while the Moto Z3 boasts a dual rear camera setup, Moto only packs its successor a single camera on the rear.
