Oops...

Oops... it looks like Motorola has accidentally revealed details of all four (yes, FOUR) Moto G7 handsets it's expected to launch at MWC 2019 towards the end of February.

The details of the four affordable smartphones were spotted by Cnet on Motorola's Brazilian website, but the pages in question have since been deleted.

So as well as the Moto G7, it looks like we'll also get the Moto G7 Plus, Moto G7 Play, and Moto G7 Power.

Along with the names, the full specs for all four handsets were also leaked, with the regular Moto G7 set to feature a 6.24-inch full HD (2270 x 1080) display with waterdrop notch, Snapdragon 632 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, dual rear cameras with 12MP and 5MP sensors, and an 8MP camera on the front.

The Moto G7 also has a rear fingerprint scanner and a 3,000mAh battery which supports fast charging via TurboPower.

Plus, Power and Play leaked join the party

The Moto G7 Plus is the high-end variant of the lineup with a slightly punchier Snapdragon 636 chipset and dual front-facing cameras with a 16MP primary and a 5MP secondary snapper.

Other than those differences, the rest of the Moto G7 Plus specs appear to be the same as the standard Moto G7.

Coming to the budget end of the lineup, the Moto G7 Play and G7 Power have a lot of similarities.

While the Moto G7 Play has a 5.7-inch display the Moto G7 Power has a bigger 6.2-inch screen, but both have the same HD+ resolution (1512 x 720).

Both pack in a Snapdragon 632 chipset, 32GB of storage, microSD slot, 8MP front camera, rear fingerprint scanner and run Android 9 Pie.

A couple more differences include the 13MP camera on the rear of the Moto G7 Play versus the 12MP offering on the G7 Power, 2GB of RAM for the Play while the Power gets 3GB and the Power also boasts a much bigger, 5,000mAh battery, while the G7 Play has to make do with a 3,000mAh power pack.

Revealing almost everything

There hasn’t been much in the way of Moto G7 news lately, but now several things have leaked all at once, including images of the range.

Shared by MySmartPrice, you can see in the renders below that the Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus have similar designs, with both sporting a teardrop notch at the top and a bezel below the screen. They also both appear to have a dual-lens camera on the back, and a Motorola logo which may double as a fingerprint scanner.

There are also renders showing the Moto G7 Play and Moto G7 Power, which look similar to each other but different to the standard G7 and the Plus.

These seemingly lower-end handsets have a larger notch on the front, and likely just a single-lens rear camera. There are two circles in the camera block, but one of them is presumably the flash. They do, however, look to have a rear fingerprint scanner.

Moving on from the images, the same source says the Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus will have a Snapdragon 660 chipset, while the G7 Play will have a lower-end Snapdragon 632.

The Moto G7 Power will apparently have an even lower-end Snapdragon 625 chipset but will benefit from a huge 5,000mAh battery and fast charging.





Finally, this source details some of the prices and color choices to expect. Apparently, the Moto G7 Play will sell for €149 (around $170 / £130 / AU$235) and be offered in gold and blue, while the Moto G7 Power will cost €209 (roughly $240 / £185 / AU$330) and come in black and lilac shades.

There’s no pricing for the higher-end models, but as for colors, the standard Moto G7 will apparently come in black and white options, while the Moto G7 Plus will supposedly be sold in red and blue.

Basic specs and solid scores

And that’s not the end of the Moto G7 rumors, as elsewhere The Android Soul has spotted a benchmark seemingly for one of the phones. It’s a Geekbench listing for a phone dubbed the Moto G7, but it lists a Snapdragon 625 chipset, which if the rumors above are accurate would mean this is actually the Moto G7 Power.

In any case, other details include 3GB of RAM, Android 9 Pie, a single-core score of 1,260 and a multi-core result of 4,759.

That’s a slight boost on the Moto G6 Plus, which got a multi-core score of 4,167 in our tests. Still, given the listed specs we would think this is the Play or the Power, meaning the standard Moto G7 and the Moto G7 Plus may be capable of more.

It goes without saying that all of this should be taken with a pinch of salt, but the specs and images are broadly in line with what we’ve seen before.

5,000mAh of power

We're expecting to see the Moto G7, Moto G7 Plus, and Moto G7 Play in early 2019, but it looks like a fourth model is going to be joining them and it's set to have a huge battery.

An FCC (Federal Communications Commission) filing for a Motorola phone with the model number XT1955-4 has been published and spotted by XDA Developers, and it includes mention of a 5,000mAh battery.

That's an enormous size, bigger than the vast majority of phones, but not unheard of from the company, as the Moto E5 Plus for example also has a 5,000mAh battery.

While the phone isn't named the Moto G7 Power here, that model number has been linked to the device in the past, so that’s probably what we're looking at.

There's not much other useful information in the filing, but it does state that the phone is 159 x 76mm, with a diagonal of 167mm, as you can see in the diagram below. You can also see from the diagram that there's just one rear camera.

A mid-range option with lots of life

The Moto G7 Power is also listed as having NFC in some regions and while that's all the filing tells us, a source speaking to XDA Developers has turned up more information. They claim that the phone has a Snapdragon 632 chipset and that there are versions with 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB of RAM, and 32GB or 64GB of storage.

They also say that the Moto G7 Power has a 12MP f/2.0 rear camera and an 8MP f/2.2 front-facing one. The screen is apparently a 6.22-inch HD+ one, the phone apparently runs the Android One version of Android 9 Pie, and it’s said to come in indigo, ‘blush’, silver and black shades.

Of course, we’d take all of that with a pinch of salt. The dimensions and battery size from the FCC listing are probably accurate, but the rest has to be taken as rumor for now.

If these specs are accurate then the Moto G7 Power should be a lower mid-range handset, which is about what we’d expect, but one that could appeal to anyone who wants a massive battery in their phone.
