Moto G7: what we want to see

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
With the Moto G6 having been released a matter of months ago, budget hawks now have their eyes fixed firmly on the horizon, in anticipation
offering a tantalizing blend of premium design and reasonable price tags.But what will the Moto G7 offer, and what will it need to succeed
in what will likely be an even more difficult and saturated marketNews on the ground, given that the device is expected in March at the
the chaseWhat is it The next numbered phone in the Moto G seriesWhen is it out Probably March 2019 at the earliestWhat will it cost Probably
announced is the period of March to April 2019.Given that there are probably at least 7 months until any announcement will be made, barring
a leak or unexpected announcement from the company, all that can be done is to speculate as to what might come.This applies to the price,
what the Moto G6 started at.Note however that before the Moto G7, we might get the Moto G6S
design the G family first adopted this year
We can also expect an 18:9 aspect ratio, as adopted by the G6.The microSD card slot will likely make a comeback, though nothing is set in
stone when it comes to the headphone jack.Smartphone manufacturers at the premium end have all but abandoned this venerable and beloved
port, and this philosophy is beginning to creep into the mid and low-end markets as well
Those buying a G7 in 2019 may have to embrace the #donglelife.The fingerprint scanner could make a moveAs for the fingerprint scanner on the
front, it may make a leap to the rear
Lenovo has been heavily pushing its gesture-based navigation, and with Android Pie offering on-screen options, we may see the scanner move
impressive given the momentum of this trend
we feel the future should hold for the next main incarnation of the handset.1
crowd-pleasing color nothing can beat AMOLED
Front-firing speakersFor reasons unknown to science or common sense, in their early days phone speakers played music away from the person
listening to it
Since that point, there have been various permutations, but it is usually those which fire towards the users that prove to be the best in
both quality and utility.With large bezels both top and bottom, if Lenovo were to move the fingerprint sensor to the rear and embrace a good
pair of clear and bassy front-firing speakers, the Moto G7 could become the ultimate media machine for those on a budget.While we did find
the speaker on the G6 to be adequate in our review, its placement on the bottom of the device allows it to be all too easily muffled, and
An upgrade here would be a real treat for the video-focused consumer.3
A different second camera sensorThere's plenty that could be done with the cameraThe two camera craze has brought with it a wide and wacky
range of options for budding mobile photographers
effort such as that on the Moto X4, or a telephoto option to allow you to get closer to the action.The big tech of last year is trickling
down to the budget end, and the time is right to include it.4
Better photo skillsThe Moto G line has never been the home of those expecting the absolute utmost in photographic quality from their mobile
snappers
Instead, it has offered respectable output and performance in most situations.However the competition from the likes of Xiaomi is really
heating up in this regard, and the time has come to really make a break and produce something interesting.What does this mean Better
processing, a more refined camera app which works as quickly as those of the competition, better low light performance through the
these chosen.5
Better battery lifeThe Moto G6 does okay, but we want 2 days of life from the G7When it comes to battery life, the standard Moto G6 is no
slouch, generally being able to make it through the day
conflicted.By including a larger battery with the new model, perhaps even removing the camera hump in the process by thickening up the phone
a bit, Lenovo could really embrace the extra space included by having such a large screen.Two days of battery life should be no problem with
A more powerful chipsetThe Moto G name is almost synonymous with the Snapdragon 400 series of chips, which has been used in most models
since its inception
As the price has crept up however, so have the demands of the market and the consumer, leaving the Snapdragon 450 included with the G6
feeling slightly weedy in comparison to some rivals.For example, the Nokia 6.1 (2018) includes the now-popular Snapdragon 630 chipset, which
premium fast feel of the handset, improve its longevity and benefit the overall experience of using it.7
Everything released comes in white or black, or perhaps in muted gold, grey or blue.This is the result of market testing, of knowing what
sells, however injecting a little personality into the Moto G line could help open it up to previously unknown markets.Much like the
better than to splash out on a few spiffy paint jobs.ZbtUeGDagGCCLdcnZJ9Qzk.jpg#
