Our Moto G7 video review is up

Enrique, 15 March 2019

Motorola’s G-series is one of Moto’s most popular lineups and it decided to hold its launch event in Brazil, a very important market for the company. The Moto G7 is a refinement of Motorola’s design language while bringing performance improvements and a larger display in a slightly larger footprint.

The Moto G7 has a Snapdragon 636 updated from the Snapdragon 450 on the G6. Otherwise, there’s an updated dual camera setup with a 12MP main camera and a 5MP secondary one. The notch above the 6.2-inch screen contains the 8MP selfie camera and amply loud in-call earpiece. There’s a 3,000 mAh battery pack integrated in the glass sandwich design. Motorola built the G7 with Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and back.

Sunlight legibility is about average, but one of the things that bothered us was below average battery life due to a poor standby endurance score - there’s at least a 15W quick charger included in the box. Otherwise, the phone is a bit underpowered for more demanding mobile games but the clean Android UI keeps Moto’s modifications to a minimum, so day to day performance is quite good.

Watch the video and let us know what you think of the Moto G7!

So, you are saying that there are better alternatives for the price. Maybe there are, but I don't see you mentioning it in a review for a Korean flagship, for example

While I agree there are better phones out there in this price range, none of them are compatible with CDMA carriers like Verizon and Sprint.
