just a smile, 01 Jun 20237 gen 1, seriously? Can't they just use a 7+ gen 2 in here?People tend to forget how much time is needed for the phone development before it gets announced. They didn't know back then how's chip gonna perform in comparation with other premium mid-range class of chipsets.
And we shouldn't forget we're still in chip shortage also. How many phones did we saw with S6G1 or S7G1? Not many right? And when did they got announced? Last year! How about S782G? Just one phone from Honor.
I believe for a type of users this phone is made for, it shouldn't be a big deal if has S7G1 or S7+G2 or something from Dimensity 8000 series.
This phone is made for people wanting the foldable phone but not want to pay for a thousand bucks. We all know what are foldable flip phones. They are not for serious power users.
So, why did Motorola, like HTC for U23 Pro or some others phone models, choose the inferior and cheaper chipset S7G1 instead of newer, much stronger and more expensive S7+G2? Well, the answer is in the question it self. They wanted the smallest price they can get to because they want to offer their foldables to broder audience, so they need the pricetag to be low as it can. To majority of people banchmark scores in mobile chipsets means nothing. They don't know the difference. That's important only for us, the geeks and mobile freaks.

Anonymous, 01 Jun 2023Way more interesting than ultra. How so? Samsung's Z Flip 4 is a much better phone, than this and a much better deal, as you can find it for less than this at the moment.
The Razr 40 Ultra however, is better than the Z Flip 4 in my opinion.

C'mon Moto. I think this phone is intended to be the entry point into foldables for a lot of ppl. Why use SD 7 Gen 1 when the SD7 Gen 2 is out and so much more capable?

This device is pretty good. Nothing to sneeze or bawl about. 7 Gen 1 is a perfectly fine CPU along with Adreno 644 with 8GB of RAM. Idk about cameras but UFS 2.2 seems good enough for a foldable. Probably.
But for 800, I'd probably look elsewhere for a foldable or a good phone. If it had 7+ Gen 2, sure.
