A 3000mAh battery is commonly found in flagship phones with more powerful internals, so the same battery in the G4 will make it last longer. It can manage over 20 hours of 3G talk time, 9h40m of continuous video playback, and over 11 hours of constant web browsing.

When compared to a dedicated brand-name GPS, the Moto G4 holds its own. While it won't connect indoors and takes a bit to make the initial connection, once connected it is accurate to 10m which is considerably better than other phones at this price-point.

The display on the Moto G4 can achieve up to 723 nits of brightness which is one of the brightest phone displays currently available.
