New updates are being added at the bottom of this story……. Original story published on January 23, follows: Motorola is now rolling out the stable Moto G7 Plus Android 10 update in its favorite smartphone market, Brazil. Moto G7 Plus Android 10 soak test. Its G-series phones have been the easiest budget smartphones to recommend in this segment for quite some time, and the latest range - in which the G7 Play fits beneath the standard and Plus models, alongside the battery beast Power - isn't much different.
With the Play, Motorola's aim was to create a smartphone that gets the basics right, without adding any flashy design, or overly complicated camera tech, while lasting you through the day. It's a phone, and it'll do what phones should do, without making a fuss and without showing off. There might be more competition in this segment now, but with its clean software and focus on simplicity, the G7 Play is a winner.
And with the Moto G7 Play, you don't get that. Instead, it's a sensibly styled device made predominantly from plastic. But don't let that put you off.
And let's not forget, if it was high-end materials, that would mean compromises in more important areas, like the screen and camera. While other colours are available, we received the black model to review, which is arguably the best choice. The black colouring gives it a simple and relatively stylish look. What we like is the way it's been textured and curved to make it easy and comfortable to hold. All over the back there are very subtle concentric circles engraved into the plastic.
Almost like a giant fingerprint. It's almost imperceptible to the human eye, but it does mean that it adds grippy-ness to the in-hand feel. That also means it's not a shiny, fingerprint attracting surface, which in turn means you don't end up with a greasy, messy rear cover.
As well as giving it this practical shape and texture, Motorola gave a simple symmetrical look by placing both the round camera protrusion and fingerprint sensor right in the centre. Even going as far as giving an angled chamfer to both - which glint slightly in the sun, contrasting the otherwise matte black finish.
It's a slightly different story on the front. Yes, it has an in-trend notch on the top, but both the notch and the bottom chin or bezel are so large it's hard to see why Moto even bothered. It would look more uniform and attractive if it just had two relatively slim full-width bezels on the top and bottom.
The screen is actually quite nice for an LCD. Here are some steps you can try to fix this: Enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning in Location settings. Battery drains fast The Moto G7 is on the lower side when it comes to battery. If you turn off the function, you can't use any GPS functions on your phone. Image 5 of 8 Close up images look sharp and detailed. We wrote an article a while ago about phone-to-car media connectivity issues.
Still, what the G7 Play does have that Realme's budget 3 Pro doesn't is a Type-C port, which we think every single relevant device should have in We're glad Motorola has opted for this and hasn't laboured on with the tired and inconvenient Micro-USB port. Compared to a premium flagship, the 5. The display is often the most expensive part of a phone, so a cheaper phone undoubtedly means a lower quality.
As a budget handset though, this one's actually pretty decent. Colours are fairly natural - although a little faded and lacking in vibrancy - and they even hold up pretty well at different angles, meaning there's very little shift when tilting the phone or changing the angle of view. Whites are clean, too, although slightly cool - typical of an LCD panel - and blacks are a little lacking in depth. Combined, that means you don't get a tonne of contrast, but again you don't expect perfection in an HD screen on a low-end device.
One thing we will say is that it could do with being a little bit brighter. On the whole though, it's a nice enough screen to watch movies and play games on. Saying that, the resolution did get quite sketchy during some games, but we'll get into that in more detail in a bit. Anything Moto has been known for - along with its impressive budget devices - is not meddling with Google's Android software too much.
