The Moto G7 family — which comprises theMoto G7, Moto G7 Power, Moto G7 Play, and Moto G7 Plus — and the Motorola One are receiving the feature as part of Google’s recently announcedDigital Wellbeing expansion.
Call Screening, which has until now been exclusive to theGoogle Pixelphones, allows Google Assistant to answer phone calls on your behalf.
