Moto G7 2025 Review: Full Specs, Camera Quality, Gaming Performance, Battery Life, Pros & Cons & Price in India

Let’s be honest. Most phones in 2025 feel like fragile pieces of jewelry. You buy a ₹25,000 phone, drop it once on the pavement, and your heart stops.

But Motorola is doing something different this year. While everyone else is fighting over “curved screens” and “glass backs,” Motorola has quietly launched the Moto G75 5G—a phone that claims to be “lifeproof.”

If you’ve been searching for the “Moto G7 2025” edition, this is it. I’ve been using the Moto G75 5G as my daily driver in the chaotic streets of Delhi and the dusty roads of Rajasthan. Is it just a tough brick, or is it actually a good smartphone?

Here is the brutal, unfiltered truth.

Quick Specs: What You Get for ₹23,999

On paper, the Moto G75 looks like a standard mid-ranger, but the “Build” section is where it stands out.

Design & Build: You Can Actually Throw This Phone

This is the biggest selling point. The Moto G75 is built like a tank dressed in a tuxedo.

• The Material: It comes with a “Vegan Leather” back that feels grippy and premium. It doesn’t slip.
• Military Grade: It has MIL-STD-810H certification. I accidentally knocked it off a table (approx. 4 feet) onto tiles. No cracks. No dents.
• Waterproofing: It has IP68 protection (can survive underwater). Most phones at this price (like the Redmi Note series) only give you IP54 (splash proof). You can literally wash this phone under the tap if it gets dirty.

The Downside? The bezels. They are thick. The “chin” at the bottom reminds you of phones from 2021. It doesn’t look as futuristic as the curved Moto G85.

Display: The Weakest Link?

Here is where I have to be harsh. In 2025, for ₹24,000, we expect an AMOLED screen.

The Real Truth: The Moto G75 uses an IPS LCD panel.

• Colors: They are accurate, but blacks look dark grey. You won’t get that “pop” you see on a Samsung or Realme phone.
• Brightness: It hits 1000 nits, which is decent, but under direct sunlight at noon, you will struggle slightly compared to an AMOLED screen.
• Durability Trade-off: LCDs are generally less prone to shattering than thin AMOLEDs, which aligns with the “rugged” theme, but visually, it’s a step back.

Performance & Gaming: Smooth, Not Speedy

The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is a reliable workhorse, but it’s not a racehorse.

• Daily Use: Motorola’s software is clean (almost Stock Android). Apps open fast, animations are smooth, and there is zero bloatware (no annoying “Hot Apps” folders).
• Gaming Test (BGMI/CoD):
  • Settings: Runs Smooth + Extreme (60fps).
  • Experience: It plays well. The heat management is excellent thanks to the thick body. I played for an hour, and the temp only reached 39°C.
  • Verdict: It handles games better than the Exynos chips in Samsung phones, but don’t expect it to beat the POCO X6 Pro in raw speed.

Camera: A Pleasant Surprise (Sony Sensor)

Motorola cameras used to be terrible. That changed this year. The Sony LYTIA 600 sensor is doing heavy lifting here.

• Daylight: Photos are sharp and natural. Moto doesn’t over-saturate colors like Realme. The OIS (Stabilization) ensures your quick snaps are rarely blurry.
• Ultrawide: The 8MP lens is… average. It loses detail at the edges. Use it only when necessary.
• Video: It shoots 4K video! This is rare in this segment now. The stabilization is solid for walking vlogs.

Battery & Charging: Wireless Charging in Budget?

• Endurance: The 5000mAh battery combined with the efficient LCD screen is a marathon runner. I consistently got 7 to 8 hours of Screen-on-Time. It easily lasts 1.5 days.
• The “Wow” Factor: It supports 15W Wireless Charging. This is virtually unheard of in this price range. You can drop it on your car’s charging pad, and it just works.
• Wired Charging: 30W is slow. It takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to charge fully.

The Competition: Moto G75 vs The World

Is it the best buy? Let’s look at the rivals.

The Verdict:

• Winner for Media: Redmi Note 14 Pro (Better screen).
• Winner for Rough Use: Moto G75 5G (Unbeatable durability).

Final Verdict

The Moto G75 5G is not a phone for everyone. If you care about thin bezels and flashy AMOLED colors, this will disappoint you.

But, if you are a clumsy person, a parent with toddlers who throw phones, or someone who works outdoors, this is the best phone you can buy. It is reliable, sturdy, has clean software, and finally, a good camera.

Buy it if:

1. You break phones often: The IP68 and Military Grade build gives peace of mind.
2. You hate Bloatware: You want a clean, ad-free Android experience.
3. You want Wireless Charging: A premium feature at a budget price.

Skip it if:

1. You are a Display Snob: The LCD screen feels dated compared to AMOLED rivals.
2. You need Fast Charging: 30W feels very slow in 2025.
3. You want a “Slim” phone: It is chunky and has thick bezels.

Rating: 4.2/5 Stars (Points deducted for LCD screen and slow charging).
