Motorola is an iconic brand that introduced the entry-level phone segment with its Moto G model nearly a decade ago. Today, this segment is more competitive than ever, but you still find models with flimsy builds and below-average performance. Ad-centric custom UIs and pre-loaded bloatware are other reasons to be suspicious of entry-segment phones. The new Motorola E7 Power shines in this aspect. It’s Motorola’s newest entry-level device that comes with a stock Android user experience, Moto’s reliable build quality and powerful internals that can give the competition a tough time.
The Motorola E7 Power runs a MediaTek G25 CPU, an octa-core processor that powers many mid-range devices. This means the device should have enough power to run social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, smoothly. Multitasking shouldn’t be an issue either, with its 4GB of RAM. You can easily switch between apps and browser tabs without experiencing any slowdowns and hiccups.
The Motorola E7 Power comes with 64GB of internal storage, and an SD card slot for storage expansion. It is a dual SIM LTE phone that comes with Wi-Fi 802.11ac for wireless network connectivity. There is also Bluetooth 5.1 with A2DP support, so you have a rich wireless audio listening experience.
This phone will also let you play some less-intensive games such as Crossy Roads, Monument Valley, Subway Surfers, and Roblox. It comes with a 6.5-inch HD screen, which means you see decent details while having enough space for customising on-screen controls. The display uses an IPS LED panel for good colour accuracy and wide viewing angles. It’s the perfect screen for attending online classes, watching YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime and even chatting on WhatsApp. A large screen means you need not zoom in all the time, to read articles and emails. It also gives you room for group video calls.
You must have already guessed the Power in the E7 stands for its solid battery life. Where most entry-level smartphones have a battery capacity ranging between 3,000 to 4,000 mAh, this one comes with a massive 5,000mAh battery. Moto says the battery lasts for up to 2 days on a single charge easily. This means you can attend long work calls, play games, and watch movies without worrying too much about charging the device. The device ships with a 10W charger.
Despite being a budget device, the Moto E7 Power offers a surprisingly good build quality. It comes with a water-repellant design that protects the phone from accidental spills, splashes, or light rain. The phone uses a polycarbonate body that is strong enough to take on minor falls and bumps. The device comes in Digital Blue and Oxy Red colours. The matte finish adds a premium look to the device and helps keep it clean and resistant to fingerprints and smudges.
The phone weighs 200 grams and is just 9.2mm thick. These dimensions are surprising considering the large battery on the device. You can use the phone with one hand, thanks to the display’s 83.3 per cent screen-to-body ratio. The device also comes with a fingerprint sensor at the rear. It comes in handy while unlocking the device and you can also use it while making payments and downloading apps.
The Motorola E7 Power comes with a dual-camera configuration to meet all your photography needs. The primary camera uses a 13 MP sensor that captures detailed photos and record full HD videos up to 30 fps. This camera comes with an f/2.0 aperture, so you can capture good photos in low lighting conditions. The secondary 2 MP macro camera is perfect for close-up photography. Moto has introduced a Macro Vision mode that lets you quickly focus on close-up objects. There is also a Portrait mode for adding DSLR-like bokeh effects to your photos.
The front camera as impressive as its rear camera setup. The 5 MP sensor with its wide-angle support lets you capture more people in a frame while clicking selfies. This camera is also great for video calls, and you can also use it to record full HD vlogs or video tutorials.
Budget phones with custom UIs have bloatware and ads that hamper the user experience. This isn’t the case with the Motorola E7 Power. It runs Android 10 OS with a stock Android interface. This means you get a clean, unaltered OS experience that is easy to use and light on the CPU. Stock Android UI also saves internal storage and helps improve battery performance. Such phones also tend to receive frequent OS and security patches, which is ideal in the longer run.
The Motorola E7 Power is the perfect budget device that comes with Moto’s solid reliability. The device’s solid internals ensure you can run everyday apps without needing frequent charging. The phone large screen, solid build quality and clean OS experience makes it significantly better than its rivals. The Motorola E7 Power is priced at Rs. 8,499* and it is available at your nearest Reliance Digital store. You can also have it home delivered by ordering it from www.reliacnedigital.in.
