Moto E7 Plus Verdict

Brand: MotorolaProduct: Moto E7 PLusKey specs: 6.5-inch IPS LCD display, 5000mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 SoC, 48MP rear camera, 8MP front cameraPrice: ₹9,999Rating: 4/5The Moto E series and the Moto G series smartphones are the backbones of Motorola’s budget smartphone series in India. While Motorola updated its G-series by launching the Moto G9, it updated its E-series by launching the Moto E7 Plus smartphone in India.The Moto E7 Plus costs ₹9,999 and it succeeds the Moto E6s that was launched in India back in 2019. In India, this phone competes with the likes of Realme C15 and Redmi 9 Prime among others.Coming back to the Moto E7 Plus, while it does succeed the Moto E6s (on paper), it shares its looks with the Moto G9 that was launched in India prior to the launch of the Moto E7 Plus. For instance, the Moto E7 Plus has the same square-shaped camera module that we saw in the Moto G9. It also has a separate Google Assistant button that makes it resemble G-series smartphones than its fellow E-series smartphones. Then there is the back of the phone that subtly reminds you of the legacy of the company’s E-series smartphones.That said, the question remains: is the Moto E7 Plus worth buying? Read on to find out...DesignThe Moto E7 Plus 165.21x75.73x9.18mm and it measures 200grams. Interestingly, the Moto G9 measures exactly the same. And while they both look the same on paper, they couldn’t be less alike in reality.The Moto E7 Plus comes with a plastic body and solid colour options -- Misty Blue and Twilight Orange. The back of the body comes with a water repellent coating and a gradient finish in matte. The Moto G9, on the other hand, comes with a glossy gradient finish. Coming back to the Moto E7 Plus, Motorola has flattened the curves in case of its E7 Plus smartphone -- just as it did in case of the Moto G9 -- which definitely gives you a better grip over the phone.Besides that, Motorola seems to be opting for a squarish rear camera module in its 2020 smartphones. The Moto E7 Plus, just like the Moto G9, comes with a camera module that is placed in the centre of the back just above the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner with the signature Motorola logo in between.Turning to the sides, the phone has the SIM card tray on the left, a 3.5mm jack on the top, a micro USB port (yikes!) and a speaker at the bottom. On the right side, you get the dedicated Google Assistant button that sits on top of the volume rockers, which in turn sits on top of the power button. The overall ensemble is quite similar to what we have seen in the case of the Moto G9.
