Where apps break on the Moto G4
Very old Android and minSdk
On Android 6/7, modern APIs, runtime-permission patterns and TLS versions behave differently. Test that your app installs, runs and degrades gracefully — or shows a clear 'unsupported OS' message — at your minimum SDK.
Dated System WebView
The old WebView on an unsupported build regularly breaks modern in-app browsers, OAuth flows and embedded web content.
2 GB RAM eviction
With only 2 GB, the OS evicts your app readily. Test that pending flows, forms and deep links restore after the app is killed in the background.
Near-stock, no aggressive skin
Unlike MIUI/EMUI, the G4 is close to stock Android, so background behaviour here is a useful baseline against heavily-skinned phones.

Testing on the Moto G4
Can I test my app on a Moto G4 with 99tests?
Yes. When you book, set the Moto G4 as a target device. A few active 99tests testers still own one, and we'll match you with a tester on their own phone and SIM.
Do you test on a real Moto G4 or an emulator?
A real one — a tester's own Moto G4, on their own SIM and network. The quirks of this older device and its software don't reproduce on an emulator, a simulator or a stock-device cloud.
Which software version will the Moto G4 be on?
Testers use their own device with the updates they've installed. The Moto G4 launched with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow (near-stock). Its last update was Android 7.0/8.1 depending on variant, so units are now on a very old, unsupported build. Every finding in the report records the exact device, OS build and network.
How much does a test run cost?
Fixed packages from ₹9,999 + GST ($129) for 5 × 45-minute sessions on 2 phones or browsers, with a verified report in 3 business days. You can mix the Moto G4 with other devices in one run.
Is testing on Android 6/7 still worth it?
Yes — if you still support old Android versions, the G4 is where minSdk, old WebView and legacy TLS bugs surface. If you don't, it confirms your 'unsupported OS' handling actually works.
