Is Play time over? Leak hints Moto G7 will only come in regular and Plus models
August 12, 2025
Motorola may not release a Play version of its Moto G series next year, according toMySmartPrice. The website points to logos it obtained that feature the names Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus, but not Moto G7 Play, as evidence. You can see the logos below:
While not the most irrefutable evidence, it wouldn’t be a move without precedence for Motorola. After introducing thePlay version in the Moto G4 series, theMoto G5andMoto G5Sseries saw Motorola only release the regular and Plus version of the phone.
The Play version of the Moto G series lineup is generally the cheapest. TheMoto G6 Playis thicker and heavier than the regular version and also uses Micro USB, has a lower resolution display, and carries a weaker camera.
At the moment, we don’t have a ton of other information about the Moto G7 series.
The Moto G6 was released in April this year so it would seem likely that the Moto G7 will be released around the same time in 2019. However, we also recently saw leaked images of afinished-looking device with a waterdrop-style notchthat the leaker claimed were of the Moto G7. Considering April is still over six months away, if the images are of the Moto G7, it would suggest the release could come sooner than expected.
Of course, until we hear something solid from Motorola, it is best to take all leaks with a pinch of salt.
