And, it's no wonder that Motorola is looking to resume the product portfolio by launching the Moto X4. There have been several reports that the upcoming Moto X4 could be expensive due to a number of hardware changes, including a 3D curved glass, dual-cameras, IP68 ratings, and more. Until now, we haven't seen the Moto X4, but this is going to change today as a company named Anatel just homologated the Moto X4 revealing it in all its glory.

Going with previous reports, the Moto X4 will feature a 5.2-inch Full HD glass layered with 3D glass on top.
