Moto G7, G7 Power and G7 Play hands-on

2019-02-07
hey guys I'm here with a moto G 7 series now we've got three different phones we've got the play the g7 and the brand-new g7 power let's talk about what's the same on all three at this point they all run Android 9 which is the latest version of Android they all come with a Snapdragon 632 processor but they vary in lots of different ways it's left with the g7 first and they will talk about what makes them different the g7 this year costs $299 because in a new mid-range and the power mode let's talk about the g7 a little bit more you've got the small notch on the top a very modern design with a 19 by 9 aspect ratio two cameras on the back and you can actually do portrait mode with the two cameras or on the front camera through software each of these Motorola devices has the ability to do portrait mode some can do with the dual camera some can do it software and that's a really good feature to have when it comes to a nice budget phone Sarah looks happy also new on the g7 is a new auto smile capture mode so if you have a subject and they're smiling and standing still the phone will automatically take a picture of that person if you have multiple people it'll wait for all of them it also works on the selfie cam that camera feature is not available on the 7 power or the 7 play the g7 series has a brand new camera trick it's called hyperlapse it's a video time-lapse feature that stabilizes everything for you as you're running around it looks pretty cool so playing around with the g7 it's really zippy it doesn't feel like a budget phone in any way that build quality is quite good there's glass on the back the glass on the back does not allow wireless charging none of these devices have wireless charging but at that price point I don't know if anyone's going to worry about it you've got USB C on the bottom and you have a headphone jack which is a very nice feature to have in 2019 what an idea motor ball has all been quite good about keeping their version of Android quite light you're not gonna have a ton of skinning on this please feel like an actual stock Android for the most part there are some nice flourishes thanks to Motorola Google photos is the stock app for photos on this the Moto g7 has four gigabytes of RAM and inside you're gonna get 64 gigabytes of storage I guess that means we should talk about the other g7 in my left hand is the g7 in my right hand is the g7 power like I said this is brand new for this year they actually have the same screen size at 6.2 inches but the g7 powers a little taller also the screen res on the g7 power is a little lower than the g7 so g7 powers actually the $249 model it's the mid-range of the g7 series on the back you've got one camera you've got the fingerprint sensor and the back is not Gorilla Glass it's a polymer glass on the top you have the headphone jack not on the bottom that's fine it's got some bigger chins because of the larger five thousand milliamp hour battery that Motorola claims will give you three days of battery life that's insane they also say that if you charge us for 15 minutes you'll get nine hours of battery life that pretty impressive this thing has three gigabytes of RAM it has 32 gigabytes of storage again it's a $249 model now in my hand I've got the Moto G 7 play now this is the least expensive model at $1.99 on the back there's no glass that's okay you've got a fingerprint sensor a single camera on the back headphone jack on the top and you've got a USB port on the bottom USB see it's got the same processor as the other models with two gigabytes of RAM it also had 32 gigabytes of storage on board all three of these can be expanded with a micro SD card to up to 512 gigabytes of storage thanks to microsd expandable 'ti the build quality on the g7 play you know it's $1.99 so it feels pretty good I would say if I compare this to any device I've ever held think of the Samsung Galaxy s3 you know that really old phone calling I'm kind of a plasticy back and it's got a decent fun this is not bad from $1.99 in the limited time I've got to use beefy devices they're running the Snapdragon sticks to the two processors and will say everything felt very zippy things were responsive the screens feel good they look good now again these aren't the highest res devices and unless you're doing VR you're probably not gonna notice it so if it's right here you might see pixels but I don't know who does that maybe you do it that's weird the new Moto G sevens will be around in the spring in North America but here's the thing there's actually one more that won't be available in North America is called the Moto G 7 plus it's got a slightly faster processor and we'll cover that in a different video stay tuned has seen that for a full review of each of these phones coming up soon
