Moto G7 may have a degraded battery, certificate suggests

A recent FCC application released by a Brazilian regulator for a Motorola Mobility product appears to have revealed one of the pieces of the puzzle that surrounds the Moto G7 – its battery capacity. According to documents sent by TigerMobiles, the next device will have a 2,820 mAh battery that will be supplied by Amperex. This would mean that, on paper, the Moto G7 will have a slightly lower capacity battery than its predecessor which was equipped with a 3,000 mAh unit. On the other hand, it is possible that the OEM will round this exact figure to 3,000 mAh. It remains to be seen whether the Moto G7 will be marketed with a battery of 2,820 mAh or 3,000 mAh, but the new revelation at least confirms that the future model will not offer many changes with respect to this particular hardware feature by compared to its direct predecessor characteristics.

The Moto G series is probably one of the most successful mobile phone lists in Lenovo's portfolio, and the G7 is expected to be launched next year, probably at the opening of the Mobile World Congress, at the end of the month. from February. The device had already been approved by the FCC in the United States last week and, according to preliminary specifications, the Moto G7 will go from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset to the new SoC Snapdragon 660. In theory, this improves the new silicon solution. terms of battery life management, which could extend the life of the Moto G7 compared to its predecessor, despite a slightly lower battery capacity. According to reports published last week, the Moto G7 could also display a much larger screen than the Moto G6 (6.57 inches against 5.7 inches), and the size of the screen is one of the main variables affecting the autonomy of a smartphone. That said, only time will tell if a battery of 2,820 mAh will suffice for the future model offers a life better or equal to that of our model this year.

In October, it was announced that the Moto G7 would be launched in four variants: a basic model and three other versions differentiated by the names "Play", "Plus" and "Power". Given the history of the Moto G6 lineup, all these other models – or at least Moto G7 Play and G7 Plus – should have batteries of greater capacity than those of the standard variant. Play and Plus devices are virtually certain, as these variations already exist for the current model, but little is known about the so-called Moto G7 Power. The series should adopt a drop-shaped display notch and present a considerably more modern design than the Moto G6 series.
