The latest smartphone from Motorola is made to be able to elevate your day-to-day, partly through its broad AI integration.
"Hello everyone and welcome to another Gamereactor Quick Look.
Now, Motorola has launched their 7D series, which I think we can call it broadly, and that consists of a whole host of different units across a wide variety of different sort of sub-markets."
"So you've got the Razors, obviously, you've got the Folds, you've got watches, you've got a whole, again, a lot of different things, but is that, are those the models that the vast majority are going to actually buy?
Well, you might make the case that the mid-rangers in that series is actually where the bulk of the sales come from, so we should probably look at that."
"This is the Edge 7D Fusion.
It is a way for Motorola to aesthetically think outside the box, as they have done with the entirety, I think, of the 7D series, but at the same time, offer mid-range, meaningful technological upgrades that means that it is reliable, that it will last a long time on a charge, and it will have the power to just see you through four or five years until the next upgrade cycle."
"So first and foremost, you might not like this backplate.
It is fabric, feels like, but very tactile fabric, and it smells like loaded with perfume.
You might not like the purple color.
You might like it, conversely, but if you don't, the entire thing about the 7D series is that you get to choose the materials and the colorways that appeal to you."
"So again, this might look like for a very specific type of aesthetic style, but you can get them in subtler colors, you can get them in different types of backplate materials, and in a world where we have so many phones that have the same frosted glass or like titanium or aluminum backplates, a little bit of character, I think, is very, very nice."
"But as I said, they combine this with meaningful technological upgrades.
Inside here, we find a 7,000 milliamp hour battery.
It's silicon carbide, and that means that it's 50 to 52 hours on a single charge.
Now, it combines that with the Snapdragon 7S Gen 4 with up to 12 gigs of RAM, which I think is also really heavy."
"It has a 6.8-inch Extreme AMOLED display.
It's Super HD, I think that's 1272p, and it's 144 hertz refresh rate.
There is a mind-blowing high nits peak brightness here, alongside with Pantone skin tone validation, which is great."
"You get a really broad camera system here at the back, where there is a 50-megapixel Sony LYT710 main camera with OIS, a 13-megapixel ultrawide.
It's all here.
There even is a IP, I believe it's 6.8 or is it 6.9 water-resistant rating, alongside MIL-STD-A810H."
"Now, the MIL-STD rating is something, I don't think it's a certifiable rating, meaning that it's not an independent third party that does these, but it does mean that like with Lenovo you can basically trust that if you drop this into a swimming pool, or it tumbles a little bit down a hill, or it hits a rock, some of these things, that it's not going to just fall apart, and that is great to know."
"It ships with Android 16 out of the box, and I mean, it looks to be one of the absolute battery champs for 2026.
I just think that it's nice that it's so slim, and you know what the best thing is?
This is actually a pretty cheap phone."
"I saw prices hovering around 400 to 420 euros, meaning that this goes up against a nothing phone or a much cheaper Samsung phone.
It's not even small flagship money.
This is like half than a lot of big flagship money, so seems like Motorola has it going on here."
