The G7 borrows a lot of basics from the G6, including a headphone jack, 64GB of built-in storage (with a microSD slot if that’s not enough), 4GB of RAM, and a 3,000mAh battery. Wireless charging and NFC frustratingly remain absent yet again, so you’re left without Google Pay / contactless payments.

If you're looking for an affordable smartphone that doesn't compromise on too much, then the Motorola G7 Play will be a great choice. It's naturally going to have less impressive specs than other more expensive phones, for instance the screen size and...

Powerful, yet affordable. Motorola has released its G7 series and now it is time for us to test the Moto G7 Play, a budget smartphone that incorporates a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage and a 5.7-inch IPS display. The...

The Moto G7 Play isn't a flagship killer, but at £150, it wouldn't be. Instead, the G7 Play is a solid smartphone that despite not having high-end internals can provide a smooth, lag-free mobile experience – even when playing the likes of PUBG Mobile,...

Pocketable, affordable, zippy in day-to-day use - the Moto G7 Play may be a budget phone - and it isn't built for gaming, despite its name - but it bears all the hallmarks of a four-star device. It delivers great battery life, gives you access to tons...

Searching for flaws in a phone like this would largely be a waste of time. At a penny under £150, there's nothing the G7 Play does badly enough to lose marks in any area. Rivals like the Nokia 3.1 and Honor 7 Lite can't match it for specs, and also...

It's been more than half a year since our last Buyer's guide, and there are already a few new trends since then which caught our eye.For starters, bezels and notches are on their way out in 2019, especially notches. We also have a handful of suggestions...

There are no fewer than four handsets in Motorola's Moto G7 family: The 6.2-inch G7 Plus, G7 and G7 Power, and the 5.7-inch G7 Play. I've already looked at the Moto G7 Plus, and Jason has reviewed the Moto G7. The G7 Play is the baby of the pack: it's...

The competitionThe Moto G7 Play is easy to love in spite of the 2GB of RAM it packs and the consequences of that. The phone fits perfectly in a hand, is grippy enough, packs a good punch, and the camera snaps nice photos. Also, we appreciate the vanilla...

These are four different phones and here is how we feel about each one of them:G7 Play and G7 PowerMoto G7 Play: a sub-$200 phone that unfortunately makes too many compromises to be a good daily driver. The plastic build, big bezels, low-quality display...

By Pocket-lint on February 07, 2019

The Motorola Moto G7 Play certainly looks cheaper than the rest of the Moto G7 family, but it is sub £150, putting it firmly in budget smartphone territory.It doesn't deliver the premium finishes you'll find on the G7 and G7 Plus, nor the battery...

By Trusted Reviews on February 07, 2019

The Moto G7 Play offers amazing value for money on paper, and could be a great crash phone or choice for parents with accident-prone kids in need of a smartphone.But I can't help but be nervous about its low memory count, which could seriously impede...
