Personally I'm very impressed with the build quality, even though it's all plastic, its all put together very well. All the seams line up PERFECTLY, there are no rough edges and no flexing. It looks and feels great.
For me the build quality is good. It does not feel very platic to me.
And I am very demanding on my phones, as you can see in other topics, I notice every little problem there is.
Yhe phone feels very sollid, everything is well pushed together, so no "air" between things... no looseness. It feels like one piece. Also no sounds if you push anywhere, no cracking.
I am very happy abouth the build quality, as I tought it would bother me.

Haha yeah I've noticed we're exactly the same in that respect.
build quality is fine, the phone is just amazingly light which can make it feel cheaper than it is.

I agree completely.
Super impressed. MUCH better than other plastic phones like the atrix.
As more people here, I am really a phone freak. First thing I look in the first few days is how well the phone is build. I look for everything that wouldnt be good about the build quality.
Well, it is thin like hell, its light... But, it feels well built. The back cover is scary thin when taken off, but it snaps on perfectly (in 10 places). No cracks, funny noises or stuff. Its built nicely.
The only thing is I treat it very carefully when not in my case. That off course also shows it feels high quality, thats why I dont want to break it.
Maybe a very little build quality problem, altough it is not really a problem.
But between the glass of the screen and the surrounding plastic there is a smalish gap where dirt or dust gets in(not under the screen tough(for now)). Since i have my phone i cleaned it with the edges of a piece of paper.

I've noticed this on the the Atrix, SGSII, and thunderbolt. Just a fact of life now I suppose.

This was one thing I noticed too! It was totally shocking that it was that thin AND didn't creak and feel like crap.

Dropped my phone three times from table height tonight. One not my failure and two falling out of top pocket picking up table football ball. All good except my pride and tiniest ding on the surround. :-/ not looking forward too hangover

Build quality is cheap compared to a lot of phones out there... and I just cracked the glass last night when I had my SGSII in my back pocket and was leaning against a stool at the bar in my fav night club last night... Pretty poor really for a $750+ phone.

Consider it like this:-
Physically Samsung’s wafer-thin chassis is great in the pocket whereas its competitor HTC Sensation feels better in the hand. Tapering edges, a neatly curved display and high-quality metal and soft-touch plastic make for a device that feels more expensive than the Galaxy S II can manage.
It's a trade-off to give Samsung the edge in lightness and thinness. I have no problem with the thin plastic. I'm super careful with all my devices because I can resell them easier lol.
The phone's solid, but I treat it as if its fragile for some reason. Because its so light and thin, it always feels like it could fall out of my hand. Cases are starting to come out and I ordered a Case-Mate tough case. I know I'll be less paranoid about it once its protected.
And to the Aussie who cracked his screen... I've dropped other phones that have landed in ways that should have cracked their screens but for some reason they survived. I've done the same thing you did with an HD2 (which is also thin) by hitting it against something in a way a pressure point cracked the screen diagonally. No phone can protect you against every instance of screen breakage. I think thinner phones are more susceptible to pressure point cracks.

You also need to factor in that because the sensation uses metal for its casing, its also a lot heavier. This may or may not be what your looking for.
It really depends on the individual. In amazed on the good reviews here but honestly when I first opened the box my heart sank.
Coming from the hd2 and iphone 4. This felt like some cheap toy for my tenants sister to play with rather than cutting edge executive phone. Its plasticky but like all the comments above, it probably was designed this way to make it light.
Not my cup if tea but of the trade off.I've learned to live with it

I very like materials used on this device, the phone design is elegant and awesome at the same time and except the screen, that is an obstacle for many smartphones, it looks pretty solid
Do you guys take money or gift from Huawei? In all this real life threads there are the same guys talking about how great is this phone. That is not so great.
No, just in the threads where the same people speak about how great is this honor phone
You don't have nothing else to do on this forum?
This phone is good only on the inside. The build quality is s#!t. Never expect it to withstand any falls without a case/cover on. The back metal is not strong either. It bends with little force too.
I like Honor 6x very much for its build quality and network reception quality. Battery backup is soo good.
Feels pretty premium. I like the metal finish.
definitely a good one apart from the screen. No Gorilla GLass makes it vulnerable to break if falls from certain heights. YOu need to carry a case or handle with care. I dont like using any cover on my phone and using this since 10 months and been careful enough to avoid any scratches till date. Once fell down and got small scratch but that is not even visible to others and as I use my phone daily I know what is there on it
but seems apart from screen quality, other things are fine.
Uni body design gives premium look.
I am honestly quite disappointed with the build quality of this device. As you can easily pop out the display from the frame.

More than agree... 2 days ago my phone dropped on the floor by the side of the display, completely flat. Luckily i had a tempered glass protector on the display, because even if i have a cover that prevents the display to touch the floor, the temepered glass just fragmented with a huge breach from left to right. I'm more than sure that if i didn't applied that protector, today i would still being here smashing my head on a wall.

Well. It was a budget grade device. You wouldn't expect premium materials in a device in that range.
Please, no "that's what she said" jokes. Rate this thread to express how you think the Moto X4 feels in-hand. A higher rating indicates that it's comfortable to hold for long periods of time, even in one hand. Resist the urge to say "TWSS" just now. Seriously.

Moto has totally figured out ergonomics. Rounded corners and back. Feels nice and steady in the hand.
Agreed, although I wish it had the fingerprint sensor on the back like my Nexus 5X. Also the weight is both reassuring and a little annoying. Weight for weights sake.
The rounded corners are very comfortable, and the smooth shiney back is actually more grippy than I would have thought. Fingerprint reader on the front is a little weird, as I have to shift the phone's center weight in my hand to reach the sensor with my thumb, but it's not that bad. It definitely feels very "dense" meaning it's weight is very well spaced out thru the device and it feels good to hold. The only sharp edges are on the camera bump, which I'm a little nervous about damaging as it's so prominent (but I also worry about that with every phone, so that's not exactly unique to this model).
I love how it feels in the hand made me sad to put a case on it. The way this phone feels reminds of the iPhone 7 especially around the edges.

I just bought this phone last night and all I can say is that the build quality and in-hand feel is amazing.
But to compare it with HTC 10 with similar body, it feels bulky since the back isn't tapered.
Only if Lenovo decided to put a flagship processor coz everything about this phone is already highend.
Mine is the 4gb/64gb dual sim variant.
i bought this phone just because of the ergonomics! i'm so in love right now! if there's anything were to happen to my moto x4 right now... i don't know what i would do to that person who did it haha! that's how much i'm obsessed right now!
Amazing phone. Dope design and look. However it is somewhat slippery and sliding. I'll have to put on a case, even if I do not want it. Eye catching device.
It’s a little too wide, especially after putting a case on. The width also exaggerates the weight of it. The shape is nice and comfortable. Just not ‘4.7” iPhone’ comfortable. I think 4.7-5” would’ve been good, and brought the weight down too. .
It has good ergonomics and the back isn't slippery (although the sides are). I also like the placement of the fingerprint sensor, as I unlock a lot the phone while it's laying on a desk (plus, One button nav ftw).
But the weight is too much on the heavy side for me. With case it becomes exhausting to hold for long periods. But it makes the phone feel more premium (which is not something I really care for).
It's also very very fragile. I wouldn't use it without a case.
Slippery slope. I always fear that it slips outta my hands, and it has glass body so....

Been very happy with this case, as it doesn't add any bulk, and it won't slip out of your hand.

It is average. I have small, danty hands and prefer my work IPhone S as the perfect size - my thumb can reach everything. On the X4, there are times where I can't reach and either strain my hand or have to change holding positions.
One of the reasons I chose the X4 was because it was about the same size as my old, beloved S5. I do not intend to ever buy a larger one.
For what it's worth, the build quality is really impressive. I have a black x4 and everything about it screams a million bucks. Those with any knowledge of what a premium phone should look and feel like will appreciate this phone. Sturdy, beautiful and perfect for someone who's not into the whole big phones hype. Finger print sensor on the back would have been a bit better since the bottom bezel could then have potentially housed another speaker but one shouldn't be too greedy. Overall, this build quality beats anything in the updated price range that it's selling for now. Maybe something like the Nokia phones could come close but nothing else.

Hi all,
I would like to share something on this topic.
The build quality and the materials are really good. But after I hold it in my hand, I was bit upset - the screen edges where really rough. You can sense it on your finger tips. The same was on the back screen.
After that, I did realise, that actually that's a screen protector. The phone is coming with preloaded screen protectors on the front and back. Nice approach.
Also the dealer where I got it, has attached a free of charge case with the color of mine phone.
Pretty nice.
Hey, thanks for the info! You mention a case. Can you please describe how it works out with the back screen? Does it cover the sides only or what? TY
I works well, there is hole for the backscreen.
I hope the link will work: https://bit.ly/2EMGl3w

its definitely a plastic... there's a teardown on YouTube
It doesnt feel as premium as of the time I unboxed it
... it would be also nice if I can replace its phone case like a Nillkim CamShield (the case feels pretty premium) and it has also a protective cover to the camera...
(im broke for now btw)
the only thing that makes me worry that it would also have a camera dust issue like in the Redmi Note 9 Series because on how wide the camera module is and how it is design like on the Poco X3 Series... but until now, no problems on the camera....
Overall very good experience with the phone, even excited that nearly a month, theres new custom ROM that made for this device... Xiaomi is definitely one of the brands that devs love to play around!

I hope your wrong because if you don't that means the Xiaomi lied about the special system cooling by using the aluminum frame too...and that's a fraud already and not just a mislead.
When you tick on the top right/left on the back, you also hear a sound like something is loose? Or that's a vibration motor?

I really think they lied about that metal frame. People say that only poco X3 Indian variant has plastic frame, not global version. But i don't believe it. From the X3 NFC teardown videos, i saw the plastic frame connect to the main structure by dovetail joints.

Man this phone got a plastic trim between the glass of the screen and the "metal" frame . That trim is out a bit you can feel it . The problem with that trim is if you push it with a plastic or with a pen or something is bending is soft . Looks ugly to me . My one got 3 dents already

I don't think you should spread around this picture when we have no idea what actually happened. A picture and the video he posted in arabic of a burned phone doesn't really tell anything... This would be more legit if we saw more cases but so far none. So this just looks sketchy now...

Glasstic backs are very prone to scratches, Even if u put it in and out of bundled TPU case 2-3 times, they catch microscratches. that's why I prefer getting a plastic film (Protector) over these from the day 1 (or 2 at most).
Matte finish of some entry level realme C series phones or old nokia lumia phones fared much better.
Still I prefer plastic as it is less prone to break than glass.
