Friends+Design
- Looks snazzy - the plastic chassis is finished in 2 colour gradient, which fades from a lighter to a darker shade as you cast your eyes downward
- The front has pleasingly rounded edges and slimline bezels with a tear-drop notch that looks striking, for a phone at this price
- Decent fingerprint sensor at the back
- At 200g, the phone is reasonably hefty
- It also picks up greasy fingerprints a little too easily
Display
- Vibrant, large 6.5-inches IPS display - the images on the screen have a good amount of pop thanks to the display’s reasonably high contrast (though, the Redmi 9 Prime offers a Full HD display at this price)
- Sunlight legibility is good
Software
- Motorola continues to keep the software on it's phones clean, and simple - it's basically stock Android with a few useful Moto add-ons
Performance
- Decent performance from the Snapdragon 460 - there's no issue in regular use, thanks to the clean and light software Motorola uses
- However, this is not the most powerful phone at this price and gaming on this phone is a no go - the Realme Narzo 10A and Redmi 9 Prime both offer outstanding performance at this price
Camera
- Good dual rear camera setup - a 48MP primary module, and a 2MP depth sensor
- In daylight, photos carry a good amount of details with bright colors and high contrasts - colours are boosted slightly to enhance appeal but the camera never overdoes it
- Low-light shooting is surprisingly good for the price - images appear bright, and the camera does an excellent job of teasing textures out from the shadows without adding too much visual noise
- Portrait mode is also good - the depth detection is good and subject separation is on par with other Motorola phones
- The 8MP selfie camera does a good job at taking clear sharp photos and it also offers a selfie portrait mode, which works well
Battery
- Excellent battery life from the 5000 mAh battery - a full charge will easily last you for 2 days of regular use
- No fast charging
Verdict
- The Motorola E7 Plus has good cameras for this price, it impresses with a quality user experience, and solid performance, battery life is good too, lastly, the design is trendy and it stands out among the phones from Redmi and Realme with its classy touches
- However, if you want a bit more power in your phone and a higher resolution display the Redmi 9 Prime is a good alternative at this price, though it's not for stock Android lovers
