In order to flash a custom ROM on an Android smartphone, you need a custom recovery, and TWRP is the most famous and the most used custom recovery software. If you are a modder and you own a unit of Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, Motorola Moto Z Play or Motorola Moto E4 Plus, you will be glad to know that each of these handsets has just received the official TWRP support.

There is a speculation that since the Moto E4 Plus has a removable back panel, it may not feature a full metallic chassis. It may have a polycarbonate body with metal-like appearance.

The SIM card tray and microSD card slot are also visible and they are not placed underneath the battery. The placement of the SIM card slot suggests that users will have to remove the battery in order to replace the SIM. At the bottom left, the external speaker can be seen.

The listing appears to be for the version of the Moto E4 that would hit the Indonesian market, considering it has a model number XT 1755 which is different from the FCC listed model with number XT 1723. The listed specifications are entirely entry-level specs and they include a 5-inch FWVGA display with a rather low 854 x 480 pixels resolution.

Also, the phone is listed with a MediaTek MT6737m processor with 1GB/2GB/3GB and 4GB RAM versions. All four versions pack the same 16GB storage. The camera aspect could be said to be just for formality because it packs a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP selfie shooter. Keeping the lights on would be a 2300mAh battery as against the 4,000mAh battery on the FCC listed Moto E4.

The Moto E is Motorola’s cheapest phone which means it sits at the bottom of the product chain. This year, Motorola will release the 4th gen model. That means it will get either the Moto E4 or Moto E 2017 name.

Last year, the Moto E3 was released in two variants, the original Moto E3 and the Moto E3 Power. The latter is equipped with a larger battery and double the RAM. This year, it seems we will be getting two models too and both will feature large batteries.

The Moto E4 which was first seen last week passing through the FCC sports a 4000mAh battery and this week we have seen another device suspected to be the Moto E4 Plus (XT1773) pass through the FCC with a 5000mAh battery.

Popular tipster, Roland Quandt tweeted a few days ago that the Moto E4 Plus will launch with a Mediatek processor. So apart from those two features nothing else is known about the phone. For the display we presume Motorola may leave it at 720p for a longer battery life.
