Motorola Moto G7 Models

Motorola is could also launch five devices under the Moto G7 family. They include Moto G7, Moto G7 Play, Moto G7 Plus and Moto G7 Power. The devices differ slightly in specifications, and are meant for different use scenarios. In extension, Motorola slightly varies the prices as well.
The Moto G7 smartphone will be the primary Motorola handset in the series. Based on the previous Motorola smartphones, the Moto G7 Play is the basic version that will sport an affordable price tag. The Moto G7 Plus could sport a slightly better processor or at least the Snapdragon 660 SoC with a little higher clock-speed and more RAM/internal torage. The Moto G7 Power is the handset with the biggest battery in the G7 family. We had previously reported the Moto G7 Power will have 5,000mAh battery.
