With both the Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus now launched, how do they compare? We look at every major aspect of these phones to help you find the best fit.
Motorola’s G-series has established itself as the go-to name when it comes to affordable quality in the smartphone space. Each year we’re treated to another bevvy of low-cost Android-powered handsets that offer a decidedly refined hardware and software experience when compared to other budget offerings out there.
Recently, one big shift that’s threatened the G-series’ status has been the encroachment of Chinese brands looking to branch into Europe and beyond. The likes of Oppo and Xiaomi recently launched in the UK and with their arrival, the Moto G-series now faces a number of new competitors on store shelves.
So how does its best and brightest, the newly-launched Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus stand up against one another, and are they equipped to take on other affordable rivals in 2019?
Lenovo-owned Motorola set a precedent last year, changing up the Moto G design language by pushing away from the hardy nature of their forerunners and instead offering more premium-looking devices that traded plastic for glass (Moto G6 Play notwithstanding). The aesthetics established by last year’s Moto G6 family have endured with the Moto G7 and G7 Plus, and as such, they look decidedly similar to both 2018’s phones and each other.
Gorilla Glass with an attractive reflective finish on the back, aluminium frames and near bezel-free screens – a formula that you’d find on any current-generation flagship and yet here it is on Motorola’s sub-£300 handsets.
It’s even harder to distinguish between the standard G7 and the Plus model this year, as unlike their predecessors, both sport the same 6.
