Motorola announces the next iteration of the popular mid-range G series smartphones-- the G7, with 4 models in the shape of the regular G7, higher-end G7 Plus, lower-cost G7 Play and long-lasting G7 Power.
All the four smartphones share the same design, with an notch housing the front-facing camera and a bottom bezel featuring a Motorola logo. The back features the camera array and fingerprint scanner, while the right side carries a pair of buttons, namely the power/lock button and volume rocker. Construction is in glass in the G7 and G7 Plus, while the G7 Play and G7 Power are in plastic, and all models are covered in a water-repelling nano coating.
The regular Moto G7 is a 6.24-inch device with a 1080 x 2270 resolution IPS LCD display covered in Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Inside are a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset with 4x 1.8 GHz Kryo 250 Gold and 4x 1.8GHz Kryo 250 Silver processors, as well as an Adreno 506 GPU, together with 4GB RAM, 64GB storage (expandable to 128GB via microSD card slot) and a 3000mAh battery with 15W TurboPower fast charging. As for cameras, the back carries a dual-camera array with a 12MP main shooter and a 5MP depth sensor, while the front-facing camera is an 8MP number.
As the higher-end model, the G7 Plus features aluminium sides and a curved back for a slightly fancier look, even if it has the same 6.24-inch display and 3000mAh battery as the G7. Inside is a more powerful Snapdragon 636 chipset, while the rear-facing camera array consists of 16 and 5MP cameras. The front-facing shooter, on the other hand, is 12MP.
The G7 Play and G7 Power carry the same specs as the G7, but have one 13MP camera at the back and 8MP camera in the front. The Play is a smaller model at 5.7-inch, and like the 6.2-inch G7 Power display resolution tops at 1512 x 720. The processor of choice for both devices is the Snapdragon 623, and the Power model gets a boost with a big 5000mAh battery promising up to 3 days of use on a single charge.
The Moto G7 models are available from March 2018.
