Motorola Moto G7 - User Reviews

  • My XT1563 has one. Came with the stock operating system. Once you upgraded, the LED would never turn on again. Of you wiped it clean to the stock version again, the LED would turn back on.

  • my moto g2 has a decent led notification light

  • Moto never has notification LED.

  • Huawei is better but rather expensive. Hate the EMUI skin tough, so i would choose this one, Clean Android version, and moto gestures is nice

  • Led notification on front ?

  • Moto G7 - clear android, huawei versions lite is shit.

  • I have a p30 lite and I really recommend it, but I think redmi note 7 is better ;)

  • can anyone suggest me moto g7 or huawei P30 lite ?

  • I've got the UK variant, and it can find and connect to 5Ghz Wifi networks.

  • It take how long for a customer to get his device

  • Intermittent problem have to hold in power button, plug in power to get the phone to turn back on. Sometimes it says UI not responding. System UI isn't responding and audio to text only works sometimes and can't lock a text message

  • No 5 Ghz. Wifi support in Europe

  • Does this have Moto Voice Driving Mode?

  • Plastic is best. Light weight. Handle with care and no issues to be found. Cut nails and no scratchy scratchy

  • most of model isn`t , canada and usa model isn't NFC

  • Is it NFC option available?

  • is volte enabled to use reliance jio ?

  • I have one and in my research was advised to download the GoogleCam App, which I have done. Have not taken enough photos yet to be sure, but the source said this is a better camera app and easily downloaded.

  • I have one and judging by the plastic body and front and glass back, it might crack easily. I have heard of other people dropping theirs from a 2 foot drop in their house and it cracking.

  • I have some concerns about the new Motorola G7 phones particularly: Screen - reviews say the screen calibration is "off" tending to more bluish/cyan/cool tones. IS there a a way to correct or balance this in the Settings? Camera - I've read that colours can be washed-out, zoom has many artifacts & noise and poor dynamic range at night. Stabilization needs a lot of work (for both front & back) and overall sharpness/detail/colour could be better. Is Motorola aware of this issues and can a software update fix these? Thank you.

  • Is it true that the new G7 and G7 Plus still have no compass or magnetometer to help with improved nav and location apps? I also heard that the cameras on the G7 is slightly worse than the older G6 Plus in terms of actual hardware specs & overall quality?

  • just wondering u have experience? im looking to get it will it crack easily in a case? plz get back

  • Im taking it

  • Front/back glass plastic frame? No good ! Aluminium frame its ok! the plastic frame is quickly broken and scratches lightly

  • moto g7 is launched in india before g7 plus y?

  • Too big imo, if you are going to do 18:9 ratio 2.96" wide is defeating the purpose.

  • Interesting.

  • Don't expect a big paycheck until you learn the meaning of the word "arguing" :-) A tip: you are supposed to use "arguments". As for the competing companies, I would never recommend e.g. any of the Chinese brands (in the nearest future). Actually, I wouldn't recommend any brand this year at all: nothing looks like a good value yet, better choose from last year models (or 2-year old models for Motorola). The goal is to make people aware and make companies like Motorola to learn the lesson: there is no demand for low quality junk. Improve!

  • yeah, motorola should pay me for keeping arguing with its competing company employee. Maybe I should write a E-mail for salary.

  • Only Moto Bots can be that persistent in their ignorance of user reviews. And this one shows an excellent example of the bot IQ: "Appearance is nice, parameters are OK, I pre-ordered one." Exact wording of a cheap TV Ad.

  • Cracks your phone and complains all over the world. Not everyone does this stupid thing. Appearance is nice,parameters are OK. I pre-ordered one and waiting for the shipping.

  • Posting "nice phone" about a device you didn't use is at least misleading. How about "looks like a ...", Agnes? Have you read my post below the first line? Does "might help with G7" ring a bell? Or the references to problems with G6 which is a direct predecessor of G7? How does it feel to be a fan of (any) corporation, that only cares about selling you less for more?

  • That's clear, I thought these two phones are almost same as each other but have different screens. I am confused if they are similar, why this phone is named moto G7. not the moto x5?

  • I am a fan, not because I use these two phones, I just want to buy one of these two phones but don't know which one to choose. However, when I check the opinions of Moto G7, you guys talk about moto x4 which confuses me.

  • "Underwhelming, overpriced"... really? What fantasy world are you living in to say such a thing? You DO realize that the g7 specs are better than most phones costing more than double, right?

  • "Pointless uneven curves"? What are you talking about?

  • Huh???

  • Why don't you create your own forum if you can't take Motorola criticism? Your account has following favorite devices listed: G7 and G7 Plus. Have you used them both already!? Have you ever used any other devices?

  • We are talking about glass sandwiches and g7 is a glass sandwich phone.

  • Why don't you guys talk about X4 under it's own area?

  • This cracked me up: the sales man shattering the phone titbit. For the sake of aesthetics, we now use phones more fragile than mirrors

  • Regarding bad G7 battery: I had to disable Moto Actions on my X4 to get decent battery life: this app was draining battery like crazy in standby mode. Might help with G7. What also might help is reading G6 reviews on Motorola site and thinking twice before considering G7. In addition to other complaints, Moto phones are extremely fragile now, my X4 cracked in my pocket being in a protective case. You'll see same problems reported for G6 and Z3. And Motorola doesn't fix their phones, they are only selling you "replacements" having the same terrible quality. This review is my favorite: "salesman assured me that it wasn't (fragile), then lightly tapped it on the counter. The back shattered!"

  • king of most appealing features phone, but sadly not specs :(.

  • cool give me the G7plus please

  • Nice phone.

  • The new king of budget phones.

  • Not good for the money...look somewhere else( Redmi note 7, galaxy m20)

  • I didn't see anyone saying that that fast charginc is gimmick (other than isheep because iphone is shipped with a very slow charger only 5w)

  • A cogent and well argued viewpoint......

  • lying down ... the older model is charging for three years and batteries as new.

  • those who want arg with their "fast charge" gimmick, fast charger kills battery faster than normal charger, so your battery life will decrease faster too !

  • Overpriced garbage

  • Battery should be 3500 at least with this screen size

  • small battery for 6.3 display

  • European version does have NFC

  • still no nfc

  • Try it out. I just swapped my SIM from the Z2 Force to this and it's almost as fast. It's crazy how they managed to optimize this phone so well.

  • 3000Mah battery killed it right away. Samsung M20 wins.

  • I think this year failure series moto g7 heavy cost least performance

  • With snapdragon 636 or 638 spent like that

  • Wow nice phone no stupid notch

  • Man, the new Motorola phones look pretty good.

  • This is just rumored it maybe have a better one.

  • Now I'm waiting for moto g8

  • SD 632, 3000mAh battery in 2019 too bad from Motorola I was using the Motorola g5 series which was too better than all the upcoming Motorola series except the Moto one power Motorola is going to down these days

  • Mediocre 3000 mah battery for a 6.24 inch screen. And the unnecessary branding on the bottom bezel with pointless uneven curves in the top and bottom of the display.

  • A new day, a new underwhelming overpriced phone from Motorola

  • 3000mah batery... never buy this phone !!!!!!!!1

  • I am using g5 plus and it's such a great phone for its price, moto has a great great battery, fingerprint, voice quality, speakers, camera and a greatly customized stock software all packed in a handheld smartphone with price nowhere with these specs. Only nokia offers such traits currently but it's new nokia 8.1 is pricey as 400 euros. I have had used moto g4 plus but its size was not the best in hands and pocket. Don't know why people make a big deal out of bump, it doesn't interfere in user experience at all. Actually this bump is what makes moto classy now. The glass back with dual cam bump design moto x4 started is just awesomly unique and cool. I hope with their g7 plus they'll keep the body size almost same like g5 plus and not like some phablet moto g6 plus or mi a2. That handheld thing is the trait of iPhone and this is what differentiates moto from xiaomi and oppo phones.

  • I was asking about the 7...i realize its smaller. Straight talk had new unlocked 32g iphone 7 for $299 but now I'm starting to think the ad is a bust because it's been listed as out of stock for since at least December.

  • Hey which model of the iPhone 7 are you looking at? The iPhone 7 or the iPhone 7 Plus?

  • I really wish they got rid of the ginormous camera hump. Other than that it's an OK device.

  • how does this phone compare to the iphone 7 ? Which one is the better phone and why?

  • What did you bought?

  • Mediocre specs at best. Less resolution than my Nexus 6, which runs Pie? Moto's only saving grace is unlockable bootloaders.

  • I ended up buying a phone can't wait no longer for this, good luck moto

  • This will carry a sd 660 chipset.

  • midrange bud relax

  • Seems like they have forgotten the first moto G. It was an amazing phone for that time. Some reminders should be put in this one too. Like that rubberized kind of back. Fp in moto logo finally. And please no glass back.

  • Please get rid of the notch and not the front facing fingerprint scanner. Better battery, waterproofing and updated internals is all I want! If some wireless charging could be thrown in that would be great too.

  • Just DUMP the camera bump PLEASE! It's disgustingly bad design! Just put a flush camera on the phone and DON'T make it a glass sandwich if you don't have wireless charging. Glass back is slippery and gross and lame and brittle and USELESS. If you don't offer any trade back for the glass shit please JUST make it aluminum back it's much better!

  • My thoughts as well. The wife has a new Nokia 7 and the reader is on the back and can't be used with a wallet case. My G4Plus is nice on the front. If the G7 is on the front I'll most likely upgrade to it.

  • moto g7 with not 4k rekodig

  • What a beautiful phone

  • Expected release date..

  • You are welcome

  • Thank you...

  • 3.5mm jack: Yes *Unzips pants* But seriously though, this is looking to be a very promising phone, and since this is the G series so it's going to be pretty cheap. Hopefully they'll put a SD636 in it.

  • Amen!

  • Why even bother putting any Notch of any kind of top if you're going to have a bottom bezel?

  • back fp sensor is not impractical, it is better than on-sreen

  • If this has Android One it might be my next.

  • Why the hell every company placing the finger print sensor in back. It's unpractical, Please Moto don't do this with MotoG

  • Expected Release Date?

  • wow... looking nice.....!
