Motorola Moto G7 Power (GSM Unlocked)(New)

My Moto Z Play battery was in the process of dying (battery swelling, lifting the lcd screen 1mm off the frame, 1 charge barely lasting 3 hours) so I googled phones with long battery life and was pleasantly surprised to find the Moto G7 Power. I was tossing up between a new Moto Z Play again and this, but decided on this as it had no recorded battery issues that Z Play does. There is a Z4 Play coming out, but it's still not for a few months, so I bit the bullet and sold my Moto mod projector and bought this G7 Power. I am overseas, so have none of the issues American reviewers have with being able to connect with networks. The phone comes with clear plastic case on. (pics of the phone as it is in the box front and rear are attached). I read a review here which said it gets slippery without the case, so i've left it on. Overall, it's been good. Small amount of time needed to reinstall apps. It works smoothly, it's great knowing you can not worry about battery dying late at night. Phone apps work smoothly. Screen is supposedly a lower res compared to very latest phones, but I haven't noticed any problems at all there. Photos and videos are fine too. Only issue was the included little pin, which is for sticking into the little pinhole, to eject the holder for the sim card and sd memory card. While it fit the G7 Power's one, it was slightly too large for my Z Play's hole, so I had to find a paper clip to eject from the Z Play's holder. I was at a seminar, before it started, while changing things over, so I didn't have easy access to my own office to get a paper clip. Sounds like a small issue, but it almost brought my eagerly awaited new phone's use to a halt for the day. Only other things, having used the phone for a week, is I haven't been able to get the much vaunted 3 days per charge battery life boasted about. So far, the best I've gotten is 100%--> 5% lasting 32 hours. Still, for daily use, it's good to know that for a 12 hour period, I am able to take 1100 photos, 3 videos, have data constantly on, and the battery will still be at 55% And I'm really pleased with the price. Given how quickly these things depreciate, I can't bring myself to pay top dollar for mobiles. For the price, you get a lot of phone, imho. Edit 9th Oct 2019- software works just like day 1. Battery doesn't work quite as long. Might reach 15% in 18 =========== hours continuous use now. Still far better than 95% of phones, but something for me to monitor.
