Motorola Moto G7 Plus Pros & Cons Review

Picture of the Motorola Moto G7 Plus, by Motorola

- Analysis by KJ David


A slightly-improved version of Motorola's 2019 G7 (ergo, the Plus moniker), the Motorola Moto G7 Plus offers higher-resolution cameras and a more-advanced charging system. Before we get to those pros, though, keep in mind that its cons still include some middling hardware components, such as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 eight-core processor that clocks in at only 1.8GHz and a 4GB RAM . In comparison, some of the best octa-core smartphones of its time boast roughly-2.5GHz eight-core chips and offer robust 6GB RAMs.

Adding to the G7 Plus's rather unsavory specs is its 64GB-only internal memory (Some competing large-screen Androids start out with 128GB of native storage), although it's not that big of a flaw, considering its support for up to 512GB's worth of top-up memory .

The highlight of this G7 variant's pros and cons comes in the form of a 16- plus 5-megapixel dual rear camera that captures 4K-2160p videos and features the Cinemagraph function that lets users animate certain objects within still photos. Also, while its G7 mother model touts an 8-megapixel-only front-facing camera, this Plus edition offers a 12-megapixel selfie cam that's also capable of capturing 4K videos -- note, however, that the best selfie phones as of this Phonerated review reached raw pixel resolutions of up to 25 megapixels.

Just like the G7, the G7 Plus touts a respectable 6.2-inch FHD+ (2270 x 1080) 19:9 LTPS display . It is powered by a 3000mAh battery whose not-so-promising raw capacity is coupled with the brand's high-class 27W TurboPower charging technology , promising to restore up to 12 hours of battery life under just 15 minutes.

This G7 model's other pros and cons include the combination of a fingerprint scanner and Face Unlock for security, the Dolby Audio sound technology, and NFC support. It touts a water-repellent nano-coating and back-to-back 3D-contoured Gorilla Glass panels . It dons either a Deep Indigo or a Viva Red finish.

All said, the G7 Plus is a semi-high-end smartphone for shoppers eying a camera-centric large-screen Android.

On-paper Review score:

Cons (or Not-so-great Features):

Is there a built-in HDMI port?:

The Motorola Moto G7 Plus can record HD (3840 x 2160 pixels) videos. Awesome! But we couldn't determine whether it had an HDMI port or not. Granted, HDMI (which lets you connect to your HDTV), is not an absolute necessity, but it seems like a desirable feature on an HD phone.

Unknown weight:

It's frustrating that we were not able to find information about its weight.

Now, the Pros:

Faster processor:

Its 1.8GHz processor speed combined with 8 cores is part of the fastest.

NFC-enabled:

Very large screen:

We're dealing with a hefty display here, making it a phablet: 6.2 inches and a resolution of 2270 x 1080 pixels means about 14.9 square inches and an image quality of at least 403 dots per inch (DPI)!

Memory can be expanded up to 512GB:

The Motorola Moto G7 Plus doesn't come with an included memory card but it supports up to 512GB of memory expansion, which will be convenient to save videos and pictures shot with the included 16-megapixel (combined with a 5-megapixel depth cam) camera.

Top-of-the-line camera:

The Moto G7 Plus is boasts and exceptional 16-megapixel (combined with a 5-megapixel depth cam) camera. It also includes the following options: Active Photo, All in focus, Auto HDR, Auto smile capture, Best Shot, Burst, Cinemagraph, Cutout, Google Lens, High-res zoom, Manual Mode, Panorama, Portrait, RAW photo output, Smart composition, Spot color, Timer, Youtube Live.
