              4 phones released.. Not even a single compact phone!?. Why all phones are so big!!!..

              Expected g7 play less than 140mm X 70mm form factor.

                It almost feels like Lenovo isn't even trying at this point. Their products don't stand out in any way, and 2GB of RAM in 2019? That's simply unacceptable even for a €150 phone.

                  So old design, old SoC and even without under display fingerprint sensor, but asking for a premium price in their category.... Perhaps they can fool some people in Brazil with their comercial trades and extra profit for preference in sales against poor people who don't have enough knowledge about what they are paying. But RIP everywhere where people know well what they are buying and value their money.

                    ‘Included USB C, so they didn’t skimp out on the basics’

                    Doesn’t have AC WiFi or NFC.

                    Those modules cost pennies to put on a PCB. It’s almost more expensive not to include them because of the standard PCB and layouts that manufacturers have.

                        Did u ever used a moto one power and G6 plus?
                        One power is cheap and have all the specs. But only in paper. Crap camera, display and design.
                        .
                        Meanwhile last year's g6 plus display, can are great. Its not only about specs.

                          Wow, €300 for that? The Pocophone keeps looking better and better.

                          Is Lenovo exiting the smartphone market? They won’t be able to compete with these, not in markets like Asia.

                            27 W charging but no sd 710 and they couldn't even use a decent sized battery on such a large device. lol what a brilliant joke

                              Loving these phones, but why does the G7 Power only have 3GB Ram? My Moto G5 Plus has 4gb and it's 2 years older :(

                                I'll probably buy g7 plus if they choose to release it in my country and notch down the price a little bit. Yes I know xiaomi has better specs, but specs isn't everything in my book. I've been using xiaomi for the last 2 years, and their software is really crippled the hardware. I'm done with MIUI. G7 design is one of a kind, camera looks pretty good, software is working properly, and the difference between 636 and 660 is really miniscule. I'm glad they choose SD 636 because the battery is weak and 660 is battery drainer. The only major thing if i choose to cop this smartphone is prolly battery life, 3000 mAh looks small, but let's read the review first

                                  Moto G7 Plus same priced as F1
                                  Moto G7 same priced as Xiaomi mi 8 lite
                                  Moto G7 Power same priced as Xiaomi A2
                                  Moto G7 Play same priced as Xiaomi redmi 7

                                  All 4 alternatives have better chipsets.Wonderful Lenovo keep it up !

                                    I don't understand, is Lenovo intentionally trying to kill the Moto G lineup ? The specs for these are so disappointing/ lacking in some areas that I am surprised that these devices got even a dedicated article to themselves. GSMArena, let me save you some trouble. Don't bother compiling a full review of these devices since they are pure c*ap.

                                    Moto One Power with SD 636 AND a 16 MP Camera and 12MP FF camera and Android 9.0 Pie AND 5000 mAH battery with 18W fast charging is a way better device than any of these. And did you look at that waterdrop notch ? I couldn't think of a worse implementation of the teardrop notch. Pathetic....it must have taken the team 2-4 days to make this horribly put together product.

                                      Will you do a full review of all four? I am interested in the battery and loudspeaker benchmarks.
