Coming to hardware, all the four phones run on stock Android Pie software, pack dual-SIM slots, microSD card slots for expansion of memory, USB Type-C port support, face unlock, rear fingerprint sensors, and 3.5mm audio jack support.

The Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus offer 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage capacity. The Moto G7 Play offers 2GB RAM and 32GB inbuilt storage, while the Moto G7 Power offers 3GB RAM and 32GB of inbuilt storage capacity.
