Motorola Moto G7 Play review

3 March 2019
The Moto G7 Play is the most basic smartphone of the G7 quartet that launched in Brazil a while ago. But despite its price hints towards a budget experience with a lot of compromises, we actually found it quite capable and interesting. And here is why.

    Ugly design and too expensive. I like the phones with big battery. But the battery is one of the most cheap components in a phone... so that can't justify how overpriced is.

      [deleted post]Where did you read that?
      They say "excellent battery life"...

        acemang, 03 Mar 2019and the prize for the ugliest phone ever goes to....S10

          First,this phone is expensive.Second 2 gb ram is to low now. Also smartphone is so ugly,I can't believe how someone can design like this. Pros is new chipset,which can run apps without lag. There are also single camera,but with 4k and make great photos. Front camera must be at least 13 mp,cause this is not 5,7 or 8 mp camera like in the flagship ( 8 mp Samsung is better than new 32 mp Chinese devices camera). Splash resistant and gorila glass 3 is always welcome ( gorilla glass 3 is more scratch resistant than gg 6,but weaker in drop segment). For me,there are far better smartphones,but people's are different.

            and the prize for the ugliest phone ever goes to....

              Zero, 03 Mar 2019Funny how very cheap smartphones easy get better battery li... morehummm not really. this device have 14nm vs 7nm current flagships. it consumes a lot more than a flagship so it needs more battery just to get even. LCD panel also consumes more. people tend to compare battery specs in different devices, because they don't have a clue about they are talking...

                After using G5 Plus for a few months, I just realized how fragile the 3rd generation Gorilla Glass is, I won't buy from this company again, also don't expect fast update from them

                  I am doubting between this and the Moto X4. Anyone any thoughts on that?

                  Also, I had this G7 Play in my hands and the auto brightness was ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! It was CONSTANTLY changing the brightness level, eventhough my lighting situation didn't change. It's really annoying. Did I have a faulty phone, does anyone else recognise this?

                        Whatever possessed Motorola to use such a massive notch?? Horrible

                          I really don't know, what's 'enough' detail for GSMArena folks. Even hyped Galaxy S10+ lacks detail, compared to some phone cameras. And pretty please! If possible, include sideshot (as you did in near past) of this 'castle'. Lower stone wall of this 'castle' is excellent tool to measure detail and rendering.

                            The battery life of this phone and the drop-resistant plastic back make it a great choice. A 12MP camera with 1. 4 micron pixels would have made it perfect.
