Motorola Moto E4 Plus launches this week in the US, huge battery in tow

In addition to announcing the Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus, today, Motorola shared details about the availability of Moto E4 Plus - a smartphone that was first unveiled last month, at the same time with the already-released Moto E4.

The Moto E4 Plus will be launched in the US in a couple of days, on August 3. Customers will be able to purchase the unlocked version of the phone for $179.99 via Motorola's website, Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers. August 3 is also when Verizon Wireless will start selling the Moto E4 Plus, but, for now, there's no word on how much the carrier plans to ask for it.

Later this month, the E4 Plus will be released by Sprint and Ting (August 11), as well as by Republic Wireless (August 14). Pricing details will be shared closer to launch.

Running Android Nougat, the Motorola Moto E4 Plus sports a 5.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, and is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 427 processor. Its highlight feature is a 5000 mAh battery that can last for 2 days on a single charge. If you want to find out more about the new handset, check out our Moto E4 Plus review.
