Alleged render and FCC visit possibly reveal the Moto G7 (Update: G7 Plus, too)

Mr Gizmo

Update, November 16, 2018 (09:49 AM EST): Yesterday we got a look at a possible render of the Motorola Moto G7 (see above). However, there very likely will be two versions of the G7 — and now we have a look at what the Motorola Moto G7 Plus might look like.

As with yesterday’s leak, the leaked render of the Moto G7 Plus comes via Mr. Gizmo. Check it out below:

Mr. Gizmo

The G7 and the G7 Plus appear to be very much the same device, although the Plus variant will be bigger (likely with a 6.4-inch display) and probably have some slightly different specs. Continue reading below for more info on the upcoming devices!


Original Article, November 15, 2018 (02:02 PM EST): With rumors that the Moto G7 looked toward Oppo and Vivo for notch inspiration, alleged renders from Mr Gizmo and a quiet visit to the FCC may have revealed the phone to be an affordable option with a waterdrop-shaped notch.

Based on the renders, the Moto G7 will also feature slim bezels along the left and right sides. There is still a chin at the bottom where the Motorola logo lives. Overall, the design gives the Moto G7 a look similar to that of the OnePlus 6T, Oppo F9, and Vivo V11 Pro.

The Moto G7 also possibly visited the FCC in the form of two model numbers: XT1965-3 and XT1952-2. The listings revealed support for the octa-core Snapdragon 660 processor, 4GB of RAM, dual rear cameras, and NFC support near the middle. The listings also revealed support for 2.4 and 5GHz Wi-Fi. There is a chance that these two listings are the Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus, but take that with a big grain of salt.

All of this paints a picture of the Moto G7 arriving as a nice-looking smartphone that will not make your wallet cry. In addition to the aforementioned specs, the Moto G7 will reportedly feature a 6-inch display with Full HD+ resolution, dual 16- and 5-megapixel rear cameras, 64GB of storage, and a 3,500mAh battery. The Moto G7 might also run Android 9 Pie out of the box, with the rumored Moto G7 Plus possibly featuring additional specs in one or two areas.

If the Moto G7 ended up looking like this and featuring these specs, would you pick one up? Sound off the comments below!

Thanks to some leaked catalog images, it looks like the computer company is planning to roll out a slew of deals across a range of Omen gaming laptops, Pavilion desktops, monitors, accessories, and more come November 22.

The HP Laptop – 15t touch with Intel i7 which currently costs $1,239.99 will drop to $499 as part of the sale, while the popular HP Spectre x360 Laptop – 13t has a more modest drop from $999 to $899.

There are plenty of $100-$300 savings to be found, while there are also some cheeky early offers available like the HP Envy Laptop – 17t non-touch, down to $1,099.99 from its $1,699 RRP.

Since the November 22 catalog deals haven’t been officially announced by HP, we can’t guarantee that this is exactly what you’ll see at the end of the month (or if it go live at all). Still, we’ll be keeping you posted about HP deals in the coming weeks, and you can check out its official website here for a chance to snag any early offers.

Pick one: Wireless charging or fast charging? (Poll of the Week)

Last week’s poll summary: Out of over 2,000 total votes, 72.7 percent of voters said OnePlus should bring back the X range. Just 27.3 percent of voters said they either don’t care or that OnePlus shouldn’t bring it back. The results were similar on all our social channels. 58 percent of YouTube voters, 71 percent of Instagram voters, and 51 percent of Twitter voters all think OnePlus should bring back the X range.


Just about every top-tier smartphone nowadays comes with some sort of fast charging feature. Depending on the manufacturer that makes your smartphone, your device might be compatible with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge, OnePlus’ Dash Charge, or Oppo’s VOOC charging.

But even though support for fast charging seems to be in every phone, some users don’t care about this as much as another charging method: wireless charging.

Wireless charging isn’t available on every phone, and right now it’s only compatible with phones made of glass. But if you’ve ever owned a wireless charging-compatible device, you’d know how convenient it can be. Just set your phone down on a charging pad, and you don’t have to worry about it. It’s quite nice.

Some glass phones support all the charging methods; the Galaxy S9, for instance, supports Qualcomm Quick Charge, Qi, and PMA wireless charging standards. Other glass phones, such as the OnePlus 6, only support fast (wired) charging, but not wireless charging.

We want to know which is more important to you — wireless charging or fast (wired) charging? Cast your vote in the poll below, and speak up in the comments if there’s anything you’d like to add.
