Editorial report

Motorola Moto G7 Play technical sheet

The Moto G7 Play suits someone looking for a compact, straightforward phone who can accept a battery and charging setup that are worse than those of most phones of its time. Its battery capacity is 3,000 mAh and fast charging is 10 W; both fall behind most phones launched around the same time.

The IPS LCD display measures 5.7 inches and has a 720 × 1512 px resolution. Its 294 ppi pixel density is below average, a clear compromise on this small screen. The Snapdragon 632 is paired with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Its AnTuTu result is below average, while the RAM and storage amounts are modest next to many phones of its time. A memory card can add up to 128 GB.

The 13 MP rear camera records 4K video at 30 fps, but its 1/3.1″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. The front camera is 8 MP. At 149 g and 8 mm thick, the phone is lighter and thinner than most phones launched around the same time. It also has a 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio and USB-C, although connectivity is below average. Its overall NeoScore is 3.0. This is a basic, manageable option for buyers who value compact dimensions and are willing to trade away battery capacity, camera hardware and performance.
