A worthy upgrade from the Moto G5+
After having my Moto G5+ for almost a year and a half, the announcement for the G7 was extremely positive from critics and tech gurus on the internet.
So I bought it to replace my phone.
A day in, the phone is extremely smooth with the interface being the classic moto design (being that there is no junk software). Transferring my data from android to android was easy, and was able to get the feel of "my phone" in about 3 hours. A majority of the software seen in the moto g5+ can be seen on the 7 and is extremely responsive. The camera is middle of the road quality however, but in comparison to the moto g5+ , the camera on the newer model has several more features and a second camera whose capability quality is "it works" and honestly that's a great thing. I found the camera to be more responsive and able to snap photos quicker than my G5 and able to actually work on Snap-chat. The design of the phone is beautiful, and looks and feels like a phone that one might spend a gargantuan amount of monies on (looking at you samsung and apple). And that's what i love about the Motorola G series, these phones look beautiful and have decent hardware that doesn't tear my wallet apart.
For this price point the hardware on this phone makes Motorola still the king of budget phones.

Phone is still responsive with quality updates made to the camera. I'm still thoroughly enjoying this phone.

The phone is still in great condition both software and hardware wise. i haven't had any major issues at all. Can't wait to see what else moto will do with the next generation!
