ISSUE 64 • ANDROID ADVISOR 109ROUND-UPalthough it is a bit fiddly initially and does take a bit
of time to get used to.
It’s small software features like this that improve
the overall experience and make the G7 Play stand
out from the crowd.
Verdict
The Moto G7 Play isn’t a flagship killer, but at £150, it
wouldn’t be. Instead, the G7 Play is a solid smartphone
that despite not having high-end internals can
provide a smooth, lag-free mobile experience – even
when playing the likes of PUBG Mobile, and that’s
impressive. The build quality is great despite the use
of plastic, with fine detailing across the handset giving
the G7 Play a more premium look and the lightweight
nature of the phone is certainly a plus.
Of course, there have to be concessions made in
a sub-£150 smartphone, and in the case of the G7
Play, that’s the cameras. While images are generally
well-lit, the lack of a decent autofocus system means
that most of your pictures will come out looking a
little bit soft. Still, the Moto G7 Play is an impressive
bit of kit, and you’ll struggle to find something better
at this price point. Lewis Painter
