Moto G7 review, specs, price and release date

Design and display

It has 6.2-inch Full HD+ LCD display fits more screen into a fairly compact phone design. The entire handset measures 157 x 75.3 x 8mm and weighs 172g.

Camera

Its rear dual-lens camera consists of a main 12MP sensor and 5MP depth sensor with the primary function being to take to rich portrait photos. The camera has an f/1.8 aperture and captures 1.25 micron pixels, so larger pixels than some smartphones. But that's actually smaller than the 1.4 micron pixels of the G6, and the front-facing camera 8MP.

Software and battery life

     Moto has included the faster Snapdragon 636 chip that's in some mid-range phones around the Moto G7 price, or the even newer Snapdragon 660. Instead, it's the Moto G7 Plus, which is launching in Europe and not the US, that gets the 636 chip.

     The good news is that the Moto G7 comes with 64GB of internal storage – there's no G7 with 32GB of storage this time. It also supports a microSD card (up to 512GB). The 4GB of RAM should get you buy for budget tasks.

   Also unchanged, the battery capacity at 3,000mAh. Moto says this allows for 9 hours of usage with a 15 minute charge on the G7.
