It’s a little earlier than last year’s Moto G6, which arrived in April 2018, but Motorola is back with another great looking set of devices to make up the G7 range. It covers a wide range of prices and specs.

What are the Moto G7 features and specifications?
With four different phones in the range, we better explain what each of them offer. Aside from the regular model, the G7 Play is the budget choice, G7 Power has a large batter and the G7 Plus is the highest spec. Let’s look at each phone closely. We compare them directly in our Moto G7 comparison review.
Moto G7
This year, the G7 has an even bigger screen with an even taller 19:9 aspect ratio. The 6.2in Max Vision display sticks to a Full HD+ resolution but introduces a small notch at the top. There’s a new processor in the form of the Snapdragon 632 and Motorola says the phone is 50 percent faster than the G6. It’s got 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage as standard. Much of the remain spec sheet is the same, but Motorola says things like the cameras are improved nonetheless. Here’s a run down of the Moto G7’s key specs:

Moto G7 Plus
Moving onto the G7 Plus, and it’s not actually bigger this year with the same 6.2in screen. It also has the same size battery, memory and storage. It does get a better processor with a Snapdragon 636, higher resolution cameras with optical stabilisation and better charging with 27W TurboPower. It also comes in different, arguably nicer, colours. Here’s a run down of the Moto G7 Plus specs:

Moto G7 Play
As usual the G7 Play is the cheapest option, so comes with the least impressive specs. Here you get the same processor, but a smaller screen (with a much wider notch), more basic core specs and a plastic build instead of glass. You also get a single rear camera, slower charging and no P2i water repellent coating.

Moto G7 Power
The Moto G7 Power is the new addition to the line-up and has a focus on battery life, like Motorola’s Maxx phones of old. So instead of a 3000mAh batter you get one a whopping 66 percent bigger at 5000mAh. It doesn’t quite get the 27W TurboCharge as the G7 Plus though, instead getting 18W allowing nine hours of usage with 15 minute charge, according to Motorola. Most of the other specs are the same as the regular G7, with the main difference being a single rear camera, lower screen resolution and a larger notch. Here are the Moto G7 Power specs:
