Question. I have the Motorola G7 and let's say I want to charge the phone when the battery is at 1%. This phone takes like 3 and a half hours to charge it where the battery is full. Is something wrong with my phone. I can't believe it takes 3 and 1/2 hours to charge this phone
I think this phone looks great for the price. But no led notification right? .. Because i used to have led notification don't know if i will stand without it..
Watched this on my G5 plus as well, and just ordered a G7 to replace it, and it's battery that's all over the place, but still an awesome budget phone otherwise.
Question! Today, the xperia xz1 compact is a lot cheapee than the g7 at my local store. Is the xz1 more phone for the money if cheaper than g7? And isn't the camera better on the xz1?
obviously XZ1 is much better. snapdragon 835 blows the snapdragon 632 out of the water. camera on xz1 is also decent for a old flagship from 2017 (sorry for my bad english(;_;))
I just ssnagged a Moto G7 for $183.59 USD after tax direct from Motorola's US website, and will be upgrading from my aging Moto G5 Plus, and not sure how I'm gonna like the fingerprint reader on the back having gotten so use to navigating with the front one on my G5 plus for so long, but I'll be glad to have a battery that's not all over the place like my G5 plus which will sometimes last all day under normal use, and other times will be more than 1/2 dead before even lunch time hits.
My wife and I have both had a g6 for the past 7 or 8 months. She upgraded to the Galaxy s10+ and I will be going with the G7 Power when it is released here next week. She already regrets not waiting for the Power and saving like $700.
Expensive upgrades like that seem unreasonable until you try downgrading again. I thought something similar when I went from a G4 to an S8, and also from a Nokia 7.1 to a Pocophone f1. But when you slip the Sim back into the old phone you realize the speed difference (and CAMERA..) You can't really go back.
@@siamese605 I really didn't notice much of a step down in speed from my Galaxy s6 active to the g6. Granted that phone was 3 years old when I switched. The only phone camera I've used so far that I'd consider paying big bucks for is the pixel 3 and even that seems over priced solely for the camera.

Wanna know how this compares to her g5 + compared to other budget-ish phones. Thanks.
Get the Samsung Galaxy a30, it has a solid price of $200 on Amazon and runs the latest version of Android along with one ui, the notch is smaller than the g7's, it has the same full HD screen besides being super AMOLED, and better battery life (4000mah) it's snappy as hell and definitely as quick if not quicker than the g7. One ui is better than Motorolas stock Android and is very elegant and customizable.
Got the g7 instead of the g7 power for these reasons: 1) Screen 2) Don't prefer bulky phone. 3) Don't really do too much gaming or watching movies on a phone. 4) The camera.
can't do the power. the battery is great but it has a 720p screen. The plus is too close to the regular G7. in order for the plus to be worth it they need to upgrade the battery to at least 4000 mah.
@@emichaels2112 $50 more should get a bigger battery. You won't notice the processor, g7 screen is actually worse, youbwont notice the camera difference 12 vs 16 mp as i said it's too close.
I bought my G7 on release day. The battery should have been addressed at least on the plus. You can have a galaxy level processor and screen. If the battery is dead, what good does it do you?
The inability to have Dolby Audio switched off while using USB earphones/DAC/dongle is the reason I won't buy Motorola phones amymore. Dolby Audio ruins any sound coming out from earphones.
Just get the Samsung Galaxy a30 for 200, you get better performance but since it's skinned with one ui the performance is neck level with the g7. One ui is the best Samsung or any other manufacturer have skinned their phones with. The sAMOLED screen is the same full HD resolution besides the bigger notch on the g7. It comes with a 15w USB c fast charger and one ui combined with the super AMOLED panel equates to a seamless customizable vivid user experience in the compact phone. The back is made of reflective plastic but it's still heavy due to the 4000mah battery, the phone still manages to stay slimmer than the g7. All this for a solid price of $200 on Amazon. You'd be lucky to find a g7 new for that price anywhere let alone Amazon.
I bought the Moto g7 Power today and I have to give it a NO GO. I'm taking it back tomorrow and get the LG Stylo 5. And I thought the Stylo 4+ sucked a little but it was just the carrier. I think from now on I'll just stick with LG but I want to try the Samsung A20.
Chris could you lets us know whether your a show pony flag ship or small hauler budget blower guy? Also share some of your thoughts on how to set up any android to run smoothly, for example do a run Nova launcher, reduce animations, camera tricks etc.

G7 series is overpriced and meh at best. Only the Plus model holds some value if Stereo speaker, 27W Adapter and OIS is the priority. Other than that Samsung, Nokia, Asus, Vivo, Oppo, Honor, Xiaomi all provide better value than Moto G7 series for the same price.

@@CoRektOh Seriously at this point I don't see how Stock android is significantly better than other manufacturers custom UI. They have all matured enough to provide smooth experience almost like Stock android. And Motorola doesn't even provide updates on time. I am using Moto G5 Plus for over a year, so I understand why one would prefer Motorola phones over others. Front firing speaker, double chop flashlight, double twist camera, blazing fast Fingerprint scanner, distinct design language and build quality. But at the same time my G5 Plus has started lagging here and there and camera app crashes randomly sometimes. And i believe its due to the low end processor. But I don't regret buying a Moto phone and I certainly won't mind buying another Moto phone. But if I remove front firing speaker and those moto gestures then G7 series (except G7 plus, somehow I can't bring myself to call this a phone bad ) has nothing that other manufacturers don't provide and that too at lower price point.
