Отзывы о Смартфон Motorola Moto G7 Power

Shame on you Lenovo.

I loath dishonest marketing. This phone is a good product for me except one thing - 720 pixel resolution is a problem as I design websites for "fun". And this limited resolution has been deliberately hidden from the UK market.

In the US some G7 models are 1080 and some 720 but ALL of them include their resolution, at the top and NONE tries to fool you with HD+. High Definition is a technical display term meaning resolution not size. So silly me I thought HD+ meant best HD but no it means the screen is 19 by 9 width by height ratio rather than the usual TV(!!!!) 16:9.

Everywhere in the Amazon.co.uk marketing info are things like this:

"Max Vision display. Immerse yourself with ultrawide views on the 6.2″ HD+ display featuring a 19: 9 aspect ratio"

That last part is deliberate. A lot of thought has gone into cheating UK customers.

BTW Google doesn't help. Ask Google.co.uk what the resolution of the G7 is and you get "2,270 x 1080".

I did a LOT of research before buying this phone (lots of other phones not much on the differences of the G7 family) but I did not pay enough attention to UK vs US models also, silly me, I thought G7 Power meant it was MORE powerful than the G7 itself.

Ah well buyer beware I guess. I have spent too much time sorting this out and I will put off buying a new phone for a year or so... Oh and this is my third Moto in recent years. Bugger!

Lenovo has owned Motorola mobile phones since 2014. This is all down to them

Why anybody would want to pay hundreds & hundreds of pounds for a mobile phone, I'll never understand!
This Moto is right up there with the best, & it only cost £139, what I really like it is stock android, virtually no bloat ware, unlike Samsung etc, don't hesitate make it your next phone.

Bought this g7 power phone because I was fed up having to charge my Samsung S7 twice a day. I was expecting to find this handset a bit of a downgrade but have been pleasantly surprised. Screen is excellent, responsiveness is great also but the best feature of all is the battery life. Fully charged at midday, and after fairly heavy use at midnight still showing as 83% battery remaining!! Comes complete with a well fitting protective gel back cover - shame no headphones supplied. An absolute steal for the pre release price I paid on Amazon of £179 considering I sold my 2 year old S7 for £100. Couldn't be happier (so far).

I simply wanted a smartphone that will work for a full day, is not particularly heavy, is not loaded with bloatware, and does not have noticeable lags in performance. This one delivers that for me as I unplug my phone at 06:00, use a mapping app for around 70 minutes each way on my commute, with bluetooth connected, read emails, check the news, make calls etc, and seem to have around 40% battery life left at 23:00.

Fantastic phone, really good screen good battery life, modern technology such as facial recognition to unlock phone, finger print reader, supposed to have voice recognition too but that doesn't seem too good as me nd partner always trigger each others phone which had become a joke between us so pretty funny when one of us is busy on the phone, but the battery life lasts ages between charges had my phone a few days and only really had to charge it once, as it was 17% and that was the day I got it and was using it none stop.

Great phone at a giveaway price and very fast function with tons of memory even with all the apps Love the battery capacity and the super fas charging but you need to make sure you have the correct charger and or leads as some leads don't appear to work even though they fit the phone! No compass and other compass apps are not compliant with the phone, the only other thing is I would have liked it to be a tad smaller but for those who want the big screen it's great

Big bright clear screen and 60 hour battery life. If you like watching films and or listening to music and taking photos and videos on your phone, this is for you. You can watch them all day and it wont run out. 64gb of on board storage - can add additional SD Card shed loads more. Good camera too. My last phone was a Galaxy S4. This is hands down the best phone I've ever owned by some considerable margin. And the price is incredible for what you get. You wont regret the purchase.

I've been using this phone for a week. Upgraded from a Moto e3. The difference is amazing. I haven't encountered any problems so far. I brought it with me on a two day trip. The battery lasted just like it said it would. I didn't have to charge it at all. The phone came with a case, but I think I will buy a different one as the rim of the case is only about a millimetre higher than the phone screen, and I think something a bit sturdier would help to protect it. I'd definitely recommend this phone. It is great value for money.

I use this phone as my daily driver. The battery lasts me for three to four days which is excellent. I do light gaming and e-mail etc. nothing too strenuous. Screen is bright enough and the size is good. I would recommend the phone for light to medium use.

This is a superb phone. The battery lasts for ever (even with pretty intensive use I rarely have to charge it more than every two days and if left on standby will last 3 or 4 days). It does everything a phone that cost 5 times as much does so, unless you are for some reason wedded to a brand that is ripping you off, then I heartily recommend saving yourself a few hundred quid and buying this.

This is a big step up from my last Moto G phone, which I bought 5 years ago. Battery life is about two days for me, though I'm not a heavy user. The fingerprint reader is handy, as is the easy-on torch feature. Camera is reasonable. Sound quality is good. (Instagram video sound recording quality is a bit marginal for some reason though.) I don't really have any complaints. I'm sure the £1000 phones are better but I would think they're not £850 better.

Really like this phone. Solid battery. But beware. It came with a cheapy plastic case. I dropped the phone once or twice in the bathroom (with case on) and a long crack appeared going right across the camera lens!!

So now pictures look weird wjen i take them. If your phone comes with that silly case, replace case right away with a more bulky and reliable one.

Plan to keep this review updated with further use. Using the G7 Power, Black, purchased on UK release date for £179.00.

SIZE: I had concerns about the size and weight of the phone, but it's slimmer and lighter than I thought it would be. Also easy to use with being quite narrow, yet still benefits from a huge screen.

IN THE BOX: The included case is fine and still doesn't make the phone too massive, though it does make the power and volume buttons a little stiff to use initially. This wears off quickly. Fast charger is compact, cable about 1m.

SCREEN: Screen quality is better than expected. I was concerned about the 720p but no reason to be, it looks great. The notch isn't too imposing either. When watching videos on YouTube you can zoom in or out to hide the notch and either is fine. It is quite wide though so you can’t see many notifications compared to the teardrop G7.

UPDATE: 01/08/2019: I cracked my screen protector so removed it and never got around to ordering a new one. The screen on my phone now has a large patch of scuff from something rubbing against it. Quite annoying and screen not as tough as I expected.

LOOK, FEEL: The black plastic is a fingerprint magnet, but easy to wipe clean with a sleeve. The phone looks sleek enough and I like the basic styling.
The power button and volume rocker are a tad too high up the phone for my liking. The volume rocker is almost at the top of the phone and quite difficult to operate one handed. Over time, I have become pretty used to this, no longer an issue.
UPDATE: 01/08/2019: The phone constantly looks like greasy sludge as I have given up cleaning it every 5 ins. no longer use the case as the added bulk began to annoy me. The black plastic is also easily scratched on the corners.

FUNCTIONALITY: (MOTO ACTIONS & ANDROID PIE): The torch karate chop gesture is amazing. I use this all the time, so much so that I try to use it on non-moto phones. Android 9 has introduced a shortcut which has bested the Moto one – pressing the power button twice for camera works much better than Moto’s flick gesture. The one bar nav is ok. I wasn't keen at first, and I don't think it is really an improvement over the 3 button system, but I am used to it now and it is fine.

One thing that does irritate me is that you can't lock the screen with the fingerprint sensor, you have to press the power button. This has become less an issue for me having had the phone for a while, but I rarely use the pull down notification bar from the fingerprint sensor, so I still think this would be more useful.

UPDATE: This doesn't really bother me any more. Started using double screen tap to lock on Nova Launcher.

The horizontal tiles on recent apps take some getting used to, I find them much harder to operate quickly with one hand. Also, the "clear all" only appears at the far end so you have to scroll though all your open tabs to clear them. I'm much more sued to this now, but still prefer the old method. Using split screen is much more awkward than it was previously and now I rarely do this.
UPDATE: This is still annoying.

The pull down menu is OK. Since you lose some notification bar due to the notch, it would be great if you could choose what went where. The battery optimisation, storage sorting, and digital wellbeing things all work well and are useful in their own ways.
You can access the battery info by tapping on the battery icon and this is really useful. You can do this with the clock too but pretty useless if you keep a widget on your home screen.

CAMERA: Fine. Some review sites say it's great, some say it's awful, I think it's OK. It takes decent quality pictures and is a little slow, but not irritatingly slow. I have an active toddler and still manage to get photos of him. All this dual camera business is a bit of a gimmick I think. If you really want top quality pics, get a camera.

BATTERY: Battery is obviously amazing. Even at the 'slow end' of charging, it's quick. Charged from 66% to full in no time at all. Left it on standby, unplugged, whilst I slept and woke up 6 hours later with 100% battery. 1 1/2 hours later I'm at 96% after watching around 45 mins of video, which drained it, then it hasn't budged since.
After some time, this is really noticeable. I've barely had to charge the phone and have found I'm much more comfortable watching videos, using sat nav, listening to podcasts etc. as I don't have that nagging thought of when it might die.
UPDATE: Battery is still amazing!

MEMORY / PROCESSOR: Phone feels very fast to operate. I don't really play games so can't attest to that, but everything else runs smooth and sharp. Handles a fair whack at the same time and hasn't stuttered a blink so far. Quite a chunk of the internal memory is taken up by Android 9, but with 64GB to play with, an SD card slot, and Google helping to free space all the time - this isn’t a problem.
UPDATE: Phone is full of junk now and doesn't feel any slower.

JUST TO BE CLEAR, NO NFC ON UK VERSION.

VERDICT: Overall very pleased, highly recommended. Potentially my favourite ever phone (or the LG Nexus 5, followed by the Moto G4 Plus).

UPDATE JAN 2020: So I broke my G7 Power before xmas. Fell out of my jacket pocket when I took the jacket out of the car. Hit the deck and the screen was obliterated. Surprised by how easy it broke, but then again I had removed the glass protector as it was marked. Turns out it's quite a tough one to replace too part of mine was attached firm to the battery so when removing the plastic the battery burst (nice flames from the 5000amh firework).

Now on offer at £129 so looks like I'm buying a replacement!

This is hands down an amazing phone. Before buying this I took into account many reviews online and weighed up the pros and cons. Some people mentioned the screen resolution and at first I could notice a slight jaggedness around text or images but I've quickly become accustomed to it, it's not to say the resolution is bad but it's not as sharp as some high end phone's but cmon, look at the price you are paying, it more than adequately does the job! Another area that people mentioned was the camera quality, they said it wasn't the best but I'd have to disagree, I've caught some amazing sharp and colourful pics using the back camera, I'll share one I took today to emphasize my point, this camera is great, though I will admit I haven't had the chance to use it in very low light conditions just yet. The selfie cam I've used in both bright and lowlight situations and though it might not be the best ever it certainly does a great job and I'm more than happy with it. The phone has been buttery smooth since I started using it, loads pages and apps very quickly, haven't noticed any significant flaws so far aside from the occasional ghost in the machine but seriously nothing worth writing home about . The fingerprint scanner has been nothing but a delight from the get go, I've noted maybe two or three failures since I started using it and we all know how many times we unlock or phone's throughout the day no matter how much we want to admit it! So, the reason we are all here looking at this phone, the battery. What can I say about it? Well, honestly, it's simply amazing! It has been years since I have used a phone that doesn't need to be charged every night and to be honest I'm still trying to get used to it. I took this phone off charge at 9am on a Wednesday morning and didn't need to charge it again until Friday afternoon and even at that point it still had 39% charge left. Now in fairness I didn't use the phone as harshly as I would some days but that was still an unreal sight to behold. I seriously couldn't believe it. I'd consider myself a fairly heavy phone user and I can still stretch two days out of this. To put things in perspective, I have adaptive brightness turned off, the screen brightness is turned way up, I have location and gps on all the time and have a smartwatch connected all the time by Bluetooth and the battery is still amazing. I listen to music on Spotify, check emails, send messages, make phone calls, watch YouTube and Netflix on this phone and it still refuses to die. I've been using it solidly for a week and have yet to reach below 10% on it. And even when it does run low, turbo charge has your back.
So, the bottom line, this phone has made me completely review my perspective on phones. €1000+ smartphones are simply a mark of status, if you want extreme functionality at a seriously affordable price look no further, this phone has all you want and more. Of course there are some trade offs but seriously, it's negligible, anything you can't do on your phone you can do better on a laptop, PC or gaming console with a 4k TV! I'd recommend this phone to anyone and challenge you to be disappointed. Never again will I part with huge amounts of cash on a phone, this one has firmly changed my mind on that, since I could afford to buy it outright, it enabled me to not be tied to a contract thus reducing my monthly phone bill to €20 from €60. Do yourself a favor and don't fall foul of falling for the consumerism of needing a €1000+ phone when something like this more than adequately does the job. I hope this review helps some people realize how much money they can save by going with this and also as a disclaimer I just want to say I have absolutely no affiliation with Amazon, Lenovo or Motorola whatsoever, I work in the fruit and veg of a supermarket haha! Anyone that follows my advice I hope you enjoy it as much as I am!
Edit: something I forgot to mention in my initial review was the volume and speaker. This phone goes pretty loud so you should have no problem hearing music or videos, however, the sound from said speaker can be tinny and sharp and has virtually no bass to it making something's not the most pleasant to listen to. Also the volume level through the speaker is a bit odd, while adjusting the volume say from 50% upwards the volume rises sharply and likewise dips massively when reducing it whereas anything below 50% is pretty much inaudible, well at least to me. Not a huge deal breaker but just something to keep in mind if you like using the loudspeaker on your phone. Still Loving it though.

This is a great phone. A great phone full stop, a fantastic phone for the money. So why not five stars? well I'll come to that.

This has replaced my faithful Moto G5 which served me well. The battery life was beginning to diminish and I did fancy a bigger screen. I looked at some budget Samsungs but they seemed to offer less, for more money.

So the much stated battery life. I didn't even need to charge this for the first couple of days, and usage in that time was heavy, re-installing loads of apps an settings etc using the Android migration feature (well worth doing). After its first full charge I did not dig out the charger for three days! OK, three days of moderate (although consistent) use. Email, social media, iPlayer radio etc. Yes, streaming movies and playing games, hot spot, GPS etc would have taken a toll.

The screen is a very good, although I was expecting the whole phone to be bigger, not just taller. It's clear and responsive. Performance is good with no noticeable lag.

I had reservations about two things. I was used to the fingerprint scanner being on the bottom at the front on the G5 and thought being on the back on this model would a) be awkward and b) be inaccessible in its car cradle. I needn't have worried. The rear scanner is very accessible and you almost can't help but touch it when you pick the phone up. The face recognition works well plus you can set it not to lock on your home wi fi anyway so it's not an issue.

The other thing putting me off was USB C. Like most people I have loads of micro USB cables and they are all over the place so a charger is never far away. USB C seems like the answer to a problem that doesn't exist so I'm a little peeved about having to buy new cables and often have one of each (e.g one in the car for this phone, older micro USBs for the wife's and kids' tablets etc). But hey, it is easier to be able to insert the charger any way around.

So why one star docked? Well I'm not going to bemoan the lack of NFC like so many others have. It's clearly stated in the spec that it's not included so don't complain if you've not done your research. I don't need it anyway. Android pay is a waste of time in my opinion, it's no quicker getting my phone out to pay Greggs for a sausage roll than my debit card.

The reason is that it does not support 5Ghz wi if. Even a 2015 Samsung A3 which is now in my daughter's possession does. This is NOT in the spec. Nowhere does it state this. I was thinking that the 5Ghz channel on my router must have somehow turned off, but it was showing on other devices, including the old Moto G5 this has replaced. OK, you can accuse me of not going my research, but I carefully read the spec on Amazon and it's not like you'd Google to check a Ford Focus comes with a steering wheel. So that's not the end of the world, but come on Motorola, it's not like it's a new technology.

So it's a shame to doc a star - and perhaps unfair given its other strengths - but hey, that's my view. Overall I highly recommend this phone, especially as you could buy six of them for the price of the new iPhone.

*** edit ***
After six weeks' use I've decided to award the fifth star. Yes the lack of 5Ghz wi fi is daft, but I can't say it's caused me any problems. The battery life is just so good that it trumps that annoyance. I often go three days on one charge - OK, not three days of heavy use but having the phone on me, the odd call, checking email, web, weather, maps and social media etc.

Haven't had any problems with it. Such a good phone.

A fantastic phone with a few niggles. I, like a few read the UK version had NFC. Well it does not. A big pain in the backside. More so when I left my wallet at home one day and wanted some food. I downloaded the Google Pay app, set it up as I can remember every one of my bank cards details. Got it set up, thought a message said all set up to go popped up, ordered food at a fastfood outlet. Went to pay. Could not pay. I went through settings couldn't find NFC. Hmm, strange. Whilst still in the queue waiting to pay I phoned several businesses who sell this phone to told it lacks NFC and that many people have read it did. Red faced I had to speak to the restaurant manager and explain my situation. He understood, gave me my food anyway. I returned the following day and paid. The manager did not expect me to return. I am too honest.

I digress.

I also read somewhere the UK version had 5Ghz WiFi. It does not. Another big pain in the backside.

Other than these two main issues which I can manage without now I know about them, the biggest niggle is the vibrate function. It is far to weak. I can barely feel it when in a trouser pocket with thin material between it and my leg. If it's on a table I can barely hear it rumble.

What is the phone great for? Well screen size, battery size and near pure stock android. These 3 things set this phone above the rest at this price bracket and those slightly higher in cost.

Although I do like this phone, I do find myself retuning to my Samsung A6 sometimes for the camera. For quick snaps of my kids and for work a simple smartphone camera is fine for me. I don't need the latest flagship because I have DSLR camera, which rarely gets used. To be fair, most smartphone cameras can return pretty good images. Granted, some better than others. The G7 Power is a little lacking though. Sometimes it takes a good few moments longer than others to focus and take a picture and sometimes I found it doesn't take the picture. In good light the photos are ok but I find when compared to a photo taken on my Samsung A6, viewed on the G7 Power, that the G7 Power is of a poorer quality in a number of areas. Colour issues being the main problem. They just appear off.

Ok, I seem to have written more about the negatives than any positives. As I gave it 5 out of 5, I will explain.

It cost me £160 ish. It has a massive battery with a good CPU/RAM specs that see me through 3 days of moderate use. With high use I get 2 days. With non-stop use I can get over 1 days use. With minimal use I have gotten 5 days use. The phone has a balance of what it can do to battery life that others don't at a very wallet friendly price. I have had previous generations of the Moto G series, other than the G3 I haven't been so impressed with other offerings until the G7 Power. For every day use I use my phone for work, writing reports, which require photos, doh! A few games here and there, which do show the phones CPU/RAM limitations a little. All other functions work fine.

If the UK version had NFC I would be less inclined to have moaned about the camera.

I used to have a Samsung Note 4, and this just beats it hands down all the way. If there are any differences in CPU processing power they simply aren't visible in everyday life. The phone simply performs exactly as it should. I get apps launching without any delays, and can switch between them without any probs. In essence this manages everything I want my phone to do. I use it for watching TV/films whilst at a gym, listening to music similarly, google maps occaisionally, some web browsing from time to time (if it's quicker than reaching for a laptop), and of course phone calls and texts.
The screen, whilst not full HD, is nonetheless bright and sharp enough that I really can't tell much of a difference from it and my old Note4, which was quad-HD. The camera has provided some excellent day to day pictures, with a quality that is more than good enough for me. Call quality has been excellent, with clear audio in both directions. Texts are equally easy, although I have had some reports of late reception at the other end, it's impossible to tell where this occurs.
The build quality seems ab-fab to me. The front screen is gently curved at the edges (2.5D), so screen protectors may leave a bexel gap, but the spread from top to bottom is great. A wide notch at the top for the front camera leaves two 'margins' either side, which are perfect positions for notification icons. The back is a glossy plastic, that does attract finger prints etc, but once encased in a protective case you wouldn't know it. The micro-sim/mem card tray is a little fiddly, so my advice is to keep everything horizontal, and insert it slowly and carefully. The 4Gb ram, and 64Gb of built in storage is far more than I think I can use, but if you want more it takes a micro-SD/TF card. Although a tip here is to get as fast a card as you can afford, to make app performance keep up with the phone. My 64Gb sd card was recognised at once, and I set it up as additional storage, although you can set it up as integrated storage if desired.
Last but not least is the simply phenomenal battery life! Wow, what a corker this unit is in those stakes. In day to day usage, I switch off data except when I need it, say to check in for five minutes every few hours. I have the screen off, when in standby, and I switch the phone off entirely overnight. With every new battery I 'educate' it by draining it as low as possible before a full recharge, at least 3 times. What I've ended up with is an average usage before recharging of at least 10 days, yes 10 days, and the screenshots here (courtesy of BatteryBot) are proof of that. In fact nearly 300 hours was achieved, work that out at 24 hours a day.

Update (mid August 2020):- speaker stopped working so could not hear calls arriving, music or any sound whatsoever. Only Bluetooth speakers and headphones worked. Tried resetting, working thru' Moto's own diagnosis without any joy. A Chat session with Amazon agreed the phone was faulty and within the years guarantee, so a return & refund was arranged without any hassles.

The battery life is exactly what's been promised. I only charge it every other night when it gets to about 40% and only because I've been recommended in general not to let phone batteries run too low or die. At 40% it could easily last through another day so you could only be charging this phone every 3 days, and that's with a fair amount of usage.

Used to have a Galaxy S6 before this and I wouldn't dare turn data and location on for more than 5 minutes lest I lost a quarter of my battery life. With the Motorola I've got location running in the background as default and data on for a lot of the time and it doesn't drain the battery. Some days I'll unplug the charger in the morning before going to work and I might have lost a couple of percentages by lunchtime (with reduced use, but still) so the battery really lives up to expectations.

As for the other features, it really does everything you expect a phone to do in 2019. There's nothing that I haven't been able to do on it so far that a Samsung or any other popular brand can do. It's generally fairly quick and smooth to run, I've only had it for a month or so but it's never frozen or lagged on me so far.

The camera could be better but it's decent enough for a phone - if you're looking for a super high quality camera I'd suggest buying a phone that focuses on that or even an actual camera for that matter. The only thing I wish I could change about it is the fingerprint location - it's located on the back of the phone meant to be used with the index finger, which can be a bit annoying when you have a folding case on the phone. A thumb one would have been more convenient but then again if it becomes too much of an issue you always have the facial recognition unlocking feature, which I haven't used yet but judging by the overall performance of the phone so far, I expect it works as well as it needs to.

Overall I'm very very happy with the purchase considering that my main concern was battery life. The fact that there's nothing really major about the phone's abilities that would give it a disadvantage compared to popular brands is a bonus. And you're not paying an exorbitant amount of money for something that isn't really worth that much is is likely marked up with a ridiculous percentage.

I have regularly bought moto g in the past, generally been pretty happy. This model has been a decent performer too.

But i'm definitely not happy about this - makes me wonder if i can still trust the brand.

I owned an original moto G (which I still own and it still works), so as this was released the same week my current phone decided to stop working, I thought I would give it try.

With a sub £200 price tag, its classed as a budget phone but thats just about the only budget thing about it.

The battery life was a big selling point for me and I wasn't disappointed. On average, I get 3days between charges with light use and at least 2days with heavy use. The larger battery does add to the weight and with the included case, it does feel quite chunky but its not too bad.

Performance is really good as the interface is responsive and apps launch quickly. It even handles minecraft gaming pretty well which really surprised me. The 4Gb ram really helps in this area, as I don't have to frequently close apps and I can switch between them easily while working with emails and social media.

The screen is a good size and it is comfortable enough for browsing and watching youtube. The sound is good but there are no external speakers, only ear piece for audio but it does get quite load when playing music or video. I found the call quality to be fine, even in noisy environments.

The rear camera is good enough for most things short of professional photography. However, the front facing camera is not so great as it is quite poor quality with focus issues and washed out images. This is probably the only area where this phone falls short.

The phone comes with 64Gb of internal storage and there is an SD card slot which allows you to expand the storage. The onboard storage is a real plus as other budget phones cut the corners in this area which then causes problems as Android can fill it up quite quickly.

I have always chosen to use a phone as a phone and limited the number of apps I use while using other devices for the majority of my daily tasks but that has changed with this phone as I now find myself using it as my main device.

The sub £200 budget phone market is pretty crowded these days but this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. I would definitely recommend it.

Upgraded from a three year old phone to this, and tbh it is a major step up. To start with, it is a budget phone (£200 for the phone, memory card, case and screen protectors), so if you are expecting all the bells and whistles of a modern flagship phone, you're looking at the wrong phone.
It also does NOT come with nfc on the UK model, but then that's something I have no need for.

Pros- the battery on this phone is immense, lasting two days without charging in real world use.
The camera, while not top of the range, is more than enough for someone wanting to catch casual images or a snap happy user, maybe not for a budding photographer.
Although the specs say android 8, the phone runs on android 9, and comes with minimal bloatware (in house developed apps or apps that cannot be removed), makes a change to find a phone with no Facebook, twitter etc locked in place.
Although the phone is large, it doesn't feel particularly heavy, though it can be a struggle to use one handed. The front camera doesn't intrude on the screen, it sits nicely in place with the information on either side.
Unlike other phones, the finger print scanner is nicely placed and works well.

Cons- the WiFi does suffer from drop out every now and again. This is a minor issue, sometimes hardly noticeable but so far not an issue for me. Hopefully it is something that can be sorted with a later update.
So far it isn't possible to turn off the ascending ringtone, apparently this is to protect the speaker, but it is an annoyance.

For those who play Pokémon GO or other games, this is pretty much an ideal phone. Large, easy to use screen, compatible with AR and adventure sync and a battery that will last a full day of play. It is a little more sensitive than my last phone on the speed limiter, but that's to be expected on a more up to date system.

So far I have marked the G7 power as 4 stars, this is because of the combined cons, mainly the WiFi, which is a shame. Besides those two problems I couldn't fault the phone, although I will try and keep this review updated as time goes by.

Had my Motorola G5 for 2 years and was very happy with it, but I have to admit, it was a little small, the G7 Power has exceeded my expectations, the camera is an upgrade from the G5 in every department, I've posted selfie and main camera pictures I've taken, it's more than good enough for the pictures I take, good selfie camera too, the screen looks lovely, I use Sky Go with no issues and it's a sharp crisp picture.

Good size screen, the battery life isn't a lie, some days I use less than 10% battery it's that good, type C charger better than micro SD ?, Doesn't make a difference to me personally, but I'm sure someone will know why it's better ?

Charges extremely quickly and can be left plugged in overnight with no issues, it regulates its charge requirements itself

Negative point, the change of position of the fingerprint scanner to the back is a negative for me as I'm used to flip cases and I can't use 1 with this as they open to the left and using my right finger on the back feels extremely alien, I hold the phone with my left hand and used to use my right finger on the front of the G5 to unlock it, now have a solid case that doesn't close , rather than a flip case and hold and open the phone with my left finger on the back, I prefer the front, apparently the majority want the scanner on the back though, so I'm probably in the minority, the reader itself is seemless, hence 5 star rating for performance

So 1 negative only, bigger, faster, longer lasting battery, nicer screen and a ridiculously low price and go on YouTube it outperforms phones twice the cost regularly in head to head tests.

I will add you can't pay for things like apple pay with this, I don't use it anyway and genuinely can't say I intend to in the future, but it is important for some people

All I can say is buy this phone you'll not regret it, it's absolutely brilliant

Had this for 3 years now to replace a G5, the battery life is really good, I'm getting about 3 days at least, no problems in the time I've had it, and will be updating next year to the G8 or G9 power if you're not interested in paying £1000 or some other ridiculous price for the 'so called' premium end, then give one these a go.

Having owned a Moto G4 Play since late 2016, partly as a swimming against the tide gesture of my own experiences in our family with apple smartphones (I felt they were too fragile too expensive and with problematic battery life) I finally felt the need to upgrade and purchased the Moto G7 Power. So glad I did!

So hanging on to my positive enough experiences with Motorola I stuck with them (their warranty repair of the usb socket on my G4 play on what is a low end budget phone, was good). It even comes with a free gel case, how thoughtful motorola, nice thought.

After 1 week of ownership, I can say that I am blown away by the Moto G7 Power, purchased here on Amazon for £179.99. Its just the right mix of performance durability and battery life that I am looking for. Nearly 2 Days !! of regular use (business stuff, strava, music, sat nav and a bit of youtube) on one charge how many folk can say this about their phones? Recharging in double quick time using the c-type usb tech is great too.

The G7 Power screen is larger, longer actually, (which is good for scrolling) than the G4 Play, crisp and contrasty, it's super solid chassis build (i.e read heavy to those that want "waffer thin" and "super-lite") to me being old school, sorry kids, it's robust and houses a 5000mahr battery! No good having a super lite waffer thin phone if it has no charge :)

The later version of andriod v9 on this G7 Power, compared to 7.1.1 on the G4 Play is a big noticable step in speed and grace.

I don't use the fingerprint reader or face recognition which this phone has both, as I am old school.

So a short review to say thank you Motorola for what you are doing, the G7 Power is a total winner, imo, in the sub £200 smartphone catagory.

I get at least 2-3+ days battery life, right now in standby my phone is reporting 6 days of battery left! It has the soul of a NOKIA 3310 in the body of a modern smart phone.

The OS Is native Android and isn't very customisable (youre stuck with the motorola green accent colour for example) however this phone is perfect for the light user. Email checking, the occasional YouTube video, occasional spotify etc. Using it this way you will forget what your phone charger looks like.

NOTE: I don't use facial recognition, I am not a super user. I simply use my phone to check email, Whatsapp, and Spotify a few hours a day.

I can't comment on the battery life if you are a super user.

I bought this phone for the battery life and BOY was I right. If you want a solid, no frills phone this is the phone to get and for less than £200!!!!
The screen resolution in my opinion is great, sharp and crisp.

The Camera isn't great but this really isn't why you'd buy this phone.

Make sure you charge it properly and the battery will break in and serve you well.
Personally, I don't let it get below 50% charge. If it's nearing 50%, I then charge it back to 100%, once it hits 100% I stop charging it and don't leave it on charge overnight. I read this way, you break it in, and after a few charging cycles you will reach optimal performance.
Don't let it go to ZERO as this is a full cycle and degrade the battery faster.

Hope this helps

Can't recommend this phone highly enough and I don't usually write reviews.

First of all, I should explain I never received the smartphone from Amazon - it disappeared when in the hands of the courier, at least they claimed I signed for it but this was totally untrue. I did, however, buy the same phone from another retailer and I'm happy to add my comments below:
Nice phone with generously sized screen and superb battery staying power. I've been a Samsung user for a long time now but decided to switch to Motorola (really Lenovo) because of faults in the previous phone. The system used in this phone is quite different to the Samsung Galaxy range and it took some time to get to grips with these. In fact, after some seven or so weeks I'm still finding out new things about the phone. Don't let that put you off however as the benefits far outweigh the (minor) difficulties.
The only reason I did not give this five stars is because the quality of the images produced by the rear camera is nowhere near as good as that of the Samsung Galaxy. The colours are not displayed faithfully and the ribbon of buttons on the bottom of the screen obscures some of the image which can be a little frustrating.
Overall, for the money this is a great smartphone and comes with its own transparent plastic case. Finally, if you're going to use a Micro SD card it is better, in my view, to format it as internal memory rather than a removeable card as it saves a lot of juggling with locations for apps data.

Battery life is even better than expected. I charged it on a Monday and it still has 57% on Friday morning. This has included all the necessary downloading of apps and their updates. I am not a heavy user but this is way better than my previous G3. I found it difficult to get the fingerprint scanner to accept a print. It kept saying the sensor was dirty but it is brand new. Even after cleaning, it took many attempts to get it to accept it. If it hadn’t worked I would have been happy to continue with a PIN. I have not tried the facial recognition.
The screen is a little too long for comfort but not impossible to live with. As cases have to be bigger than normal I would recommend you choose one with two magnets to keep the flap closed or go for a vertical case when you are attaching it to a belt as I do.
Still getting used to swiping up rather than across to close apps. It was annoying to be given an option of closing all apps when I continued swiping to the side when I only had one app to close but I now realise its benefits. It was just one of those changes/ improvements. Performance is very slick and the screen is very good.
It wasn’t clear in the description if it came with the rapid charger but I can confirm that it does. It’s confusing when the ‘often bought with’ option shows people allegedly buying one with the phone.
There are many options I doubt I will ever use but there seems to be plenty of memory to deal with these so it doesn’t feel like it will struggle with the features you actually do use.

I ummed and ahhed about this phone, predominantly because of the lower ppi count. Let me reassure anyone that the display is as good as my old G5 as far as I'm concerned (the wisdom of the internet also tells me the human eye has trouble distinguishing over 300ppi). I tend to rip films from DVD for travel or download from Prime - display is perfectly acceptable for a phone. Does struggle slightly in bright sunlight.
The OS is typical Android, seems stable, and I've not had any issues with WiFi as some people have reported. Slightly large in the hand, but not unwieldy - someone with smaller hands may find it a little cumbersome. Fingerprint reader on the back takes some getting used to, but is placed intuitively.
However, the outstanding feature (and the main reason I bought it) is the battery life. It is absolutely outstanding. I'm not a particularly heavy user (more social media than video) and I'll happily get 3 days out of it. That drops to around 2 if I use Maps for navigation.
Camera totally acceptable for snappy snaps - I tend to take a decent compact camera if I'm going somewhere with photo opportunities.
All in all very, very happy with it.

Update 24/12/19: Probably the best budget smartphone I've ever owned. Dropped out of my pocket several times at work over the months with no detrimental effects. Battery life still outstanding. Camera can be slow to trigger (seems to be thing with Moto's) but as above I carry a decent compact if I need to. For the life of me I can't see why anyone spends ~£1000 on a phone......

This mobile is really brilliant. It takes about a week to run down (depending what you are doing with the phone) and takes up about 2 hours to charge to full with the special charger and USB cable. The added features are good to if you shake the phone in a certain way, it will put the torch on or off and other features I could chose. The emergency option is also good as I have used this feature and you can add things like next of kin, blood type, your local doctors and any medication you are using and this comes up. So no needs to know your code or fingerprint to open the phone. The Blue Tooth feature is brilliant as I have used it for my headphones with the phone. There are standard apps that come with the phone: Yourtube, Gmail and other Google things like calendar, drive etc.
The camera is very good at both front and back as well as the torch for light. The power save feature is great and I have used it when I am low on power which has saved me to use my phone for emergencies. By far the best mobile I have owned so far. The Network card is a Mano SIM, so you may have to get that changed with your provider.
I can't say that I have found anything bad about the phone at the moment but it is bound to turn up later. The price of the mobile is great value.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge for nearly 3 years but the battery was fading fast. Previous to that I had 2 Motorola phones. I bought the Samsung because I came into a bit of money and felt that I should upgrade to the best Android phone around at the time. For those last 3 years I have felt like a bit of a mug, parting with several hundred pounds for a phone that wouldn't do anything that my previous Motorola phones could do. Time to bite the bullit and buy a new phone. The reviews were good for this new Motorola model so I decided to go back to the brand. I am pleased to say I am happy with my choice. The phone is solidly built and looks very smart to my eyes. The screen is large, the finger print reader is lightning fast as is the facial recognition system which is brilliant. There is little bloatware on there and all apps work with no problem. I have found the camera to be good enough and not much different from my Samsung. Important to me was the addition of a headphone jack, also important is its ability to play high resolution music files [I use FLAC]. If it's important to you the speaker on the phone goes annoyingly loud but it is as bad as they are on every other phone I've ever heard. But the icing on the cake is the battery.... It generally lasts me well into a third day of use, and I use it regularly. Best of all I don't feel like an idiot anymore, I spent well under £200 and have a great phone.

I've had the g7 power for a month now and I'm seriously impressed with it. Coming from an iPhone 4s that'd had its battery replaced, yet still only lasted half a day on what I'd call minimal use, this phone is brilliant. For the same type of use the g7 will last 3 days. I've been using it solidly over the holidays for browsing and games (~12hrs) and it still has 50% left at the end of the day. This is due to the massive battery and 720, rather than 1080 screen (and probably a few other things that I haven't noticed). Minor gripes are that it's much bigger than my old 4s, but still fits in my pocket; that it takes an extra couple of seconds of holding the button for the power to come on (compared to Apple devices); and the fingerprint scanner is on the other side to what I'm used to with my iPad. Some people will be put off by the camera or screen resolution stats, but I haven't noticed either. Others will be put off by the lack of NFS, but personally I see this as a security benefit.

NB One genuine concern I had when researching this phone was that some people had reported WiFi dropouts on the Moto forum. I've had no problems on Plusnet or eduroam so think this may be a bad batch of WiFi antenna hardware. If you experience this I'd suggest returning your phone for a replacement.

I like this phone. Unfortunately, being the person who does not like change things I had to buy due to my faulty Moto G4. I would like to point out a few aspects. The battery - after a few weeks of use I was positively surprised. The battery while phone being lightly used is po-wer-ful! As said - it is compared to old G4. Sometimes when I didn't use my phone heavily the battery could give you two days without charging.
In my opinion, the camera is not of the best quality. Moto G4 was equipped with much better photo sets. However, you can get decent pictures but light balance is odd. I would expect much of pictures taken in dark settings.
This phone is less glitchy than Moto G4. I know it has more RAM than its predecessor and it is fine smartphone.

To sum all up, it is a very decent smartphone taking its proce into account. If you don't mind having a budget smartphone I can totally recommend this one. I didn't expect much of it but the phone has exceeded it!

Few points to clear up about the G7 power version:

Screen resolution is 720p. Some parts of this listing state it's full HD. It's not.

This processor cannot handle 720p (60fps) youtube playback at 2 x speed. It won't even handle is at 1.5 x speed. So if you want to watch youtube videos at faster playback then you have to drop down to 480p. Oddly, this was a deal breaker for me as I watch a ton of videos at 2 x speed and this made the phone basically unusable for this.

Camera has no optical stabilisation and the electronic stabilisation (if it exists) is so poor it might as well not exist.

In 1080p 60fps mode video recording the focus constantly (and I mean constantly) attempts to refocus which leads to severely distracting focus breathing/plusing through the recording. This makes video in this mode completely unusable. This is reduced in 30fps modes (4k and 1080p) but does still occur as infrequent intervals. Less distracting but still annoying.

Camera photo performance is OK. Selfie performance is better than the Samsung S7 I tested against but the lack of stabilisation on the main camera and some a bit of overzealous sharpening makes images look quite harsh and 'digital' in my opinion.

The rest of the phone is pretty slick. Screen is actually pretty great. It beats the OLED in the Samsung S7 for brightness and 'whiteness' and the pixel density is enough that things look nice and sharp enough. Fingerprint scanner is super fast and accurate, way better than the completely rubbish one on the S7!

I would probably have kept this phone because the battery is great and the rest is OK but because of the video playback performance in YouTube was so bad I returned it. That'll also probably translate across to using this to play games too so I'd stay away from this if you do anything more than the occasional casual gaming.

I've had this phone for 6 days now.

Out of the box it comes with a fast charger, usb-c cable and the phone has a silicone case on it (this feels cheap )

Like other reviewers I was expecting a phone with NFC so massively unimpressed to not have it on as Motorola advertise on its site that it has it on UK models.

In general use of the phone there are a few possive things that stand out. The most obvious is the battery, I've used the phone intensively, you tube, insta, Facebook and taking pictures and video and I would say it's got the best battery life of any phone I've had, it's just short of 2 days use before it needs charging. The fast charger it comes with is great for a quick top up on that second day.

The screen looks great, I've had a couple of issues with its responsivety as a touch screen up at the top level with the buttons.
Whilst I'm talking about the buttons they are far too high up on the right hand side. They need to be 2-3 CM lower as you have to adjust how the phone sits in your hand to adjust the volume or lock it.

My main issue with its overall usability at the minute is that it seems to be a bit laggy when using certain apps. Instagram, eBay and Amazon seem to perform particularly badly, with images really slow to load in sporadic moments.

**Week 2 update**

Forgot to mention it only has 2.4ghz WiFi, so if you use 5ghz it won't access that.

I dropped the phone over the weekend from 1m height and the silicone case it comes with did its job and no damage to the phone!

I've used the camera a fair bit now and it's a bit slow so lots of blurred toddler pictures however colours and the like are pretty good if you can get them to stand still

So it's got some heft to it which I don't mind as it doesn't slip out of my hand like my old 6S did. Battery lasts two days easily even with heavy use of tethering and Bluetooth. Things load very quickly and the screen size is wonderfully. Overall and ideal phone that doesn't break the bank for switching over from Apple and it solving the majority of my issues. Some of the same apps I used to use are slightly more buggy, but then others are more useful so swings and roundabouts. Only things I miss are contactless payments and Home - Google's version isn't as friendly with the kit I have, and only worked for a day so quick access to lights isn't as easy but small price to pay to have a phone that works vs. one that was just an endless headache from the get go. Was a happy iPhone user from 3G and especially my 4 that lasted until the 6S came out which wasn't durable and started to fail very quickly. I'm now a very happy Moto user. I made the leap after setting my mom up with the play model, and the power or full version seemed more suitable to me. I certainly didn't want to drop £5-600 on a phone as 5G is coming out.

I received this on release date and first impressions are amazing. I'll try and break down the good and the bad, for a little lighter reading than a big essay!

Good: -
Battery Life (This thing is immense!); I'll charge this overnight, use it all day (Pokemon Go for 2-3 hours), check emails, make calls etc and by the time I go to bed it's still hovering about 80%, whereas my G5S Plus would be about 20%!
Wi-Fi Calling; The G7 Power supports Wi-Fi calling. I enabled this and EE does support it!
Signal; The signal on this phone seems vastly improved over the G5S Plus for both GPS and Mobile
Fingerprint scanner; This seems to work brilliantly, and the reaction time seems pretty good!

Bad: -
Wireless Connectivity; This seems to "drop" a fair amount. I would assume it's a bug on the current version of the OS. I don't class this as a big issue.
Weight; This thing isn't light. That's to be expected for a phone with a 5000mAh battery though, so it's not really a negative.
Size; Again, a bit like the above, it's a large phone. I generally prefer them a little smaller, so I can one-hand everything (I'm 6"3 with fairly large hands), but it's quite difficult on this with the weight as well. Again, that's no deal-breaker for me though.

Overall, as you can see, for £180 I think this phone is an absolute beast. Does everything I ask of it and more. It does have some negatives, and I would have liked some IP-rating for some extra protection, but it is what it is.. A budget phone, and I'm more than happy with it!

Excellent battery life. One of the problems I have with most phones is always worrying about battery life and having to constantly charge them. With this phone I can easily go 2 or 3 days without charging it. If you are very conservative I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a week out of it. Even under heavy use by playing games and watching lots of videos I would still have plenty battery left over by the end of the day. It also plays pretty much all games out there. I'm not a huge mobile game player but COD mobile runs quite well on it. The graphics are slightly worse compared to my friends high end phone But it still seems to run super smoothly at a rock solid 60fps and looks great. The phone is quite large and if you have small hands it may even be too big for you. It charges very quickly too. You could probably just charge it for 10 - 15 minutes and have enough batter life for the day. If someone offered me a high end phone I would still probably just use this one instead as the battery life is a huge plus for me. The phone is also just feels really quick and responsive in general. Fingerprint scanner works well.

Bought this phone as an upgrade for my old G4 phone as the battery was almost dead and it was all cracked up and bashed. Also the buttons for standby and volume had fallen out.

A few months in phone is quite impressive for the price. Is a bit chunky but the huge battery makes up for it, mainly got it for work as my old G4's battery only lasted like 4-5 hours... and had several large cracks and lost all the buttons.

This phone is such an improvement in pretty much every way. My favourite is being able to listen to podcasts on youtube and put phone on standby without stopping the video. (like the old G4 did) However there is one issue the connectivity for wireless is actually worse than my G4. At work my wireless phone had no connectivity problems at the workplace using my network internet. But this phone drops connection literally every day. This is comparing to 3 months of no issues with G4 on same network. Must be a problem with the phone wireless somehow.

Overall though it is definitely worth it and probably cheaper to buy now. As I saw huge discounts being made on it on other platforms/countries literally days after I bought it. Typical.

Bought this phone for my wife, to replace a Moto X, which had more cracks in the screen than i could count, plus its memory was poor.
Delivery was unbelievably fast. Ordered Monday, arrived Tuesday. First impressions. Yes its not an I phone x or a top of the range Samsung, but for £158, a phone with 4GB RAM and 64GB memory and the features of a more expensive phone, you cannot go wrong. Although the display is not as many pixels as more expensive phones, it is still very clear and having just watched a You Tube Video on it, its very good at the price range. I have a Motorola Z2 Play, and that was more expensive. This phone seems to perform as well and is fractionally thicker with a slightly bigger screen. It DOES come with a clear gel case, however we purchased a case at same time as phone, but the included Gel case is fine. In summary, if you want a phone to make calls, check e-mails, WhattsApp, watch the odd video, download a Netflix film and take a few quick snaps plus have a massive 5000MaH battery, then this is the phone for you.

What bugs me about this moto is it doesn't have NFC,so you cant use google pay.The screen quality is pretty awful to.Huawei use much better screens than this in their cheapest phones.Battery lasts several days of normal use.
Update
After over a year of use battery is still only down to 92% at the end of the day so I'm pretty happy with that bit.The main reason I wont be buying another though is the lack of NFC,over the last year I've hardly used cash at all,just fumbled around for me bank card instead of flying through the supermarket tills with me mobile like everybody else.I got used to the poor quality screen,probably because I dont use it for gaming or video apart from the occasional news report.
The phone has proved quite rugged over the year and I can't think of any other faults.

Had this phone for about six months now and it's a decent little phone for the price. The battery life cannot be faulted. With the fast charge too it's pretty good. Bit disappointed with the camera quality as it isn't great. Also wish it had NFC but I knew this upon buying it and was simple to get around.

I do have to say though after only six months of use it has started to slow down, it occasionally freezes for a couple of seconds, lags, and takes a while for things to load to the point we're I'm already considering a new phone of a different model.

Don't get me wrong overall it's a good phone, decent price, and does what you want, I just don't think it's the most long lasting device and I guess that's due to getting what you pay for.

I bought this phone because of the big battery. I can go 8 hours on google maps navigation and at the end, it would still have 30 % power left in it.
The reception is not great but it is ok.
The fingerprint works fine. Face recognition I have not used at all.
One thing I am not happy about. Somehow it gets so many notifications that it becomes annoying and some times you miss something important because you stop checking them all. Even if you go to settings and try to stop most notifications they still come and even wake you up with a sound 5-6 in the morning.
I do not want to spend much time or go into settings and try and turn off each one.
Apart from that, it is a great phone that does everything you actually need and top phones do...

Early days but bought this as a xmas gift for my father. I have set it up for him and have to admit to being mightily impressed.
Have always tended to have high end phones so wasn't expecting a lot for the price. My last foray into the budget phone market was a fair few years ago, it was a Nokia and a very dissapointing experiance.
Bought this as father had a Motorolla e series, so was hoping it would be similar and hence easing the change, the reviews were good and I have had Motorolla in the past and found them to be robust and good quality.
Apart from the camera, which is basic but perfectly adequate for most situations, I would say this is a better phone than the Samsung A50 that I bought at the same time for my wife, which was £120 more expensive.
The screen is huge, bright and clear, it seems to zip through anything you ask of it and the battery life is fantastic, lasts Dad 3 to 5 days between charges.

The Motorola G7 power is a very good phone with a superb battery life. Its use of virtually stock Android should appeal to most.

It is a little heavier than most, but you can go 3 to 4 days between charges in normal use. The fingerprint reader and face recognition work well. It can take a good photo too.

So why the deduction of 1 star? It only recognises 2.4GHz wifi wireless N band, restricting connection to your router 72Mb. Earlier Moto Gs supported 5GHz, I dont know why Motorola have done this. It surely cannot be to do with cost cutting. Honestly, if I had realised this before purchase, I would have chosen a different phone. Screen resolution is poor (720p) for a screen so large, but my wife has no complaints on this issue.

My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S6. When I purchased the Galaxy S6 new, the battery barely lasted one day and now only lasts half of a day hence the most important factor in deciding which phone to buy to replace my Samsung Galaxy S6 was battery life.

Research suggested Motorola's Moto G7 Power phone was the best performing smart phone as far as battery life was concerned. At £139, it's was a no brainer to try it.

Having had this phone for a month now, I can give an extremely positive review. At best (when not using many apps), the battery lasts 5 days. At worst (when using lots of apps regularly), the battery lasts 2.5 days. I would have been happy if the battery last more than one day so I'm over the moon with the real life performance.

If battery life is the most important factor for you, just buy this phone. You will not be disappointed.

I don't really like mobile phones, but sadly they are a necessity given my lifestyle. I have had an I phone and latterly a Windows phone, since I was reluctant to splash out an obscene amount of £££ on another I phone. Sadly WhatsApp recently dropped support for Windows phones and since most of my family are avid WhatsApp users, I reluctantly retired my Windows phone and bought one of these. I was full of trepidation about losing contacts, texts, etc when changing phones, however, the transition was far less traumatic than I expected. I did back up my Windows phone to "the cloud" and amazingly didn't lose anything vital. The G7 is fairly intuitive to use and is fairly easy to set up. The huge battery seems to go for days between charges and the Android version on the phone seems fairly free of "bloat ware". I am a happy bunny, as much as anybody who does not actually like mobile phones can be :-)

Liked the Price, less than a quarter of the price, people pay for their Fancy Branded Phones. Bought it after reading a good revue it was given in Which Magazine, which I subscribe to. As a keen Photographer, I've Used it to Take several Videos, and, Still Photos, (has a 64 Gb memory) while deliberately Leaving my heavier SLR's at home, May not be High End Photos, however the quality does for me , and, various sites where I Post my Photos, mostly Railway Pictures Sites, People have commented on how good the Pics / Videos are. Oh, and, Its good on Phone Calls, Texts, the Internet and, Battery last a long time, over 30 hrs apparently, without being charged, I charge it daily so can't confirm this. Great for anyone who doesn't want to keep up with the Jonese's spending hundreds of pounds, on a Phone.

Battery life? Ha this phone laughs at battery issues trust me, I'm a medium phone usage person and I get at least 2 days out of a single charge, which incidentally takes about 60-90 mins from low battery.
I actually Upgraded to this from a Samsung galaxy s7 edge, yes I say upgraded, ok I took a resolution drop and slight camera drop, but the galaxy wouldn't even give me 24 hrs from a charge and was getting progressively worse, this phone has everything the average user may want, ease of use, great speaker, good coverage etc, the screen size is also great, this phone is the best budget phone available imo, Motorola pulled an ace out of their sleeve.

1 small downside, is that is doesn't support 5ghz bandwidth for WiFi (not same as 5g data ofc) so if u wanna use 5ghz on your home hub/router, this isn't compatible, just pick 2.4ghz and a less congested channel on your router (Google it if need be)
