Motorola recently launched two new flagship Droid offerings, the Moto Z and Moto Z Force. We really liked them for their ultra-premium design, strong performance, and innovative Moto Mods add-on features. However, Moto is also ushering in a refresh of their more mainstream, cost-effective Moto G family as well.

We last looked at the Moto G in 2014. We weren't blown away by performance, however, we were impressed how much the device managed to offer for just $149. The Moto G delivered Android's core experience with good enough web browsing and general productivity performance to stand above other budget smartphones at the time. For once, ?budget? did not mean a laggy experience with shoddy build quality. So what does the Moto G family stand for now, four generations later with the Moto G4?
