Moto G7, Moto One Launched in India; Starts at Rs 13,999

Motorola has announced the Moto G7 and Moto One smartphones for the Indian market today, with the latter being its second Android One phone after the One Power which was launched last year.

The Moto G7 and Moto One are said to be available from today for Rs 16,999 and Rs 13,999 on Flipkart and Moto Hub stores, along with offline multi-brand retailers. But we couldn’t find either phone on Flipkart.

The Moto G7 was first launched in Brazil last month and joins the Moto G7 Power, which was silently launched in India for Rs 16,999. The G7 Play and Plus variants are expected to be available in India soon. Reliance Jio is offering Rs 2,200 cashback on the Moto G7 and One. Jio subscribers can avail the offer through Rs 198 and Rs 299 plans, when activating them on the new phones.

Moto G7

Starting off with the more expensive Moto G7, it sports a 6.2-inch Max Vision full HD+ LCD display with U-shaped notch. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 632 chipset, which is quite disappointing at this price range these days. We would have expected at least a Snapdragon 660 SoC. With the Moto G7 you get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with expandable micro SD card support.

The Moto G7 smartphone comes with dual rear cameras – dual 12 megapixel sensors – with shooting modes such as portrait mode, spot color, cinemagraph, and auto smile capture, which we saw last year with the Moto G6. The notch on the front hosts an 8MP camera.

The Moto G7 runs Android Pie and is backed by a 3,000mAh battery. Its 15W TurboPower charger is rated to give users 9 hours of power in just 15 minutes of charging.

Moto One

Joining the Motorola One Power, the Moto One is Motorola’s second Android One phone. It’s landing in India quite late considering it was announced globally in the middle of last year. The Moto One sports a 5.9-inch HD+ LCD display with a 1520×720 pixel resolution.

It’s also got a notch like the One Power and is powered by a Snapdragon 625 SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It is backed by a 3,000mAh battery, and runs Android Pie, with just a few customisations.

The Moto One also has dual cameras on the back (13MP combined with a 2MP depth sensor) which should deliver decent budget performance but we can’t help but feel it’s out-specced by the likes of the Mi A2 which is also available for around the same price.

iPhone 12 to Have 5nm Processor, Qualcomm’s X55 5G Modem: Report

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...

Windows 10 Insider Build 19013 Adds Power Toys, New Kaomoji, and More

Microsoft has already pushed the near-final release version of the Windows 10 November 2019 Update and is now focusing its efforts on the next major 20H1 update. We’ve been keeping track of the new features being tested with Insiders for some time now and well, the latest build, number 19013, brings improvements to the Linux subsystem, emoji tray, and Your Phone features. The highlights of Insider Build 19013 is the return of Power Toys. They’re special utilities that were made popular in the Windows 95 and Windows XP era, but had been nixed to make way for new features over the past few years. Well, they’ve now made a return to Windows 10 20H1 Insider builds this month, starting with 2 features, PowerRename and FancyZones. While PowerRename makes it possible for users to rename files in bulk, the FancyZones feature lets you drag apps into defined target positions on your PC. You can take a close look at the FancyZones feature right here . Apart from this, the Windows subsystem f...

Samsung Launches Galaxy Labs; an App Suite to Help Optimize Your Phone

Though OneUI 2 is set to bring along a number of changes to Samsung’s Galaxy phones, the company has today released a new suite of device optimization apps. Dubbed Galaxy Labs, it’s offering users access to 4 apps, including a file restoration app, battery tracker and optimizer, and an app booster. All of these four apps live under Galaxy Labs, similar to the “Device Care” feature on the company’s OneUI-powered devices. Let’s talk about each service under this app, starting with File Guardian. It’s going to serve as one of the most used and important apps in the Galaxy Labs suite as it will help recover permanently deleted files from your internal, as well as external storage. Next up, we have Battery Tracker and Battery Guardian apps. The name of these 2 apps are enough to tell you what they do. While the former gives you an in-depth look at the device’s battery usage (more detailed in comparison to the in-built battery tracker), the latter only checks if existing battery optimiza...
