Motorola’s 2019 cheap smartphone lineup includes a 5000mAh battery option

Today, Motorola is announcing the new Moto G series for 2019: the Moto G7 family. There are three devices to take a look at: the Moto G7, the Moto G7 Power, and the Moto G7 Play. Along with the phones from Nokia, members of the G series are among those rare smartphones that can be had for under $400, and that makes them pretty interesting.

We were able to spend some hands-on time with all of them, but before we get into the details, let's load up a big ol' spec sheet and talk numbers.

At first the spec sheet seems fine. We've got easy $50 increments between devices, and while the SoC always stays the same, more expensive devices get better screens, more RAM, more storage and better cameras. Then we get to the battery section and things get crazy. The more expensive device has a smaller battery!
