The G7 Power is now available for pre-order
Pre-orders for the Moto G7 Power opened on March 15, and following that, regular sales will begin on March 22.
The G7 Power is a slightly scaled back version of the regular G7. The screen has a larger notch, it has slightly less RAM, and just one rear camera instead of two. Where this phone really shines is with battery life. The G7's 3,200 mAh battery is good, but the G7 Power absolutely dominates it with a 5,000 mAh one. If you want legendary battery life on your next phone, the G7 Power is the one to get.
You can pre-order the phone now from Motorola's website, and when you do, you'll get a free $20 credit that can be used towards a future purchase. Went it goes on sale on March 22, it'll also be available at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H.

If you want to buy the Moto G7 Play when it launches, it'll also be offered at at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H, and directly through Motorola's site.
How to get your hands on the G7 Plus
And, last but not least, there's the Moto G7 Plus. The G7 Plus upgrades the specs of the base G7 across the board while retaining an affordable price, and while that's fine and dandy, Motorola isn't officially bringing it to the U.S.
However, if you want the phone badly enough, you can buy an international model on Amazon and have it imported.
The phone will still work on all major carriers in the country, but it may not support every single LTE band — meaning potentially weaker connections in rural areas and large buildings. Additionally, you won't get any sort of warranty protection.
If none of that bothers you, the price is pretty good considering it's not technically sold in the country.
Our pick
Moto G7
Still one of the best budget phones around.
For the 7th year in a row, Motorola's proven that its G series devices are some of the best out there in the budget smartphone space. The base G7 delivers a great display, trusty processor, reliable cameras, and much more for a fraction of what you'll pay for today's flagships.
Our pick
Moto G7 Power
If battery life is your primary concern when buying a phone, the Moto G7 Power is the easy choice. With a 5,000 mAh battery, Motorola claims you can expect up to three days of use on just one charge. Add that together with a solid display, snappy processor, and a durable design, and you've got a great handset on your hands.
Upgrade
Moto G7 Plus
If your budget is bit more flexible and you'd like a slightly more premium experience, the Moto G7 Plus may be worth checking out. Its two main edges over the regular G7 include OIS with its 16MP rear camera and stereo speakers. Just make sure you're OK with the quirks that come with buying an international phone.
