Moto G7 series to sport an all-new design, waterdrop notch
In the world of smartphones, the notch is the new normal. And following in the footsteps of Vivo and OPPO, Motorola has adopted a waterdrop-like cut-out for its upcoming mid-range G7 smartphones. Leaked renders suggest both G7 and G7 Plus will sport the new design, allowing for a higher screen-to-body ratio. However, their bottom bezel appears chunky - unlike OPPO and Vivo smartphones.

Both Moto G7 and G7 Plus will sport dual rear-camera
According to renders, both Moto G7 and G7 Plus will sport a dual rear-camera setup with horizontally stacked sensors and a LED flash module. Just below the camera module, there's a Motorola logo which will conceal the fingerprint scanner - something we've seen on Moto E5, E5 Plus. Seemingly, both the phones have a glass back panel but wireless charging capability is still unconfirmed.
Welcome move
Moto G7 series will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack
In the G7 series, Motorola is expected to launch four smartphones - Moto G7, Moto G7 Plus, Moto G7 Play and Moto G7 Power. And according to the leak, Moto G7 is expected to come with a headphone jack and USB Type-C port. This suggests we can expect these connectivity options on other Moto G7 series handsets as well.
