Motorola 2021 e-and-g-series – good value for all

Motorola 2021 e-and-g-series offer something for all with prices from $159 to $299. These provide incredible value and feature sets that raise the bar in the value market.

We have been impressed with the companies resurgence in and Motorola 2021 e-and-g-series reflect the new way for moto. It is putting a lot of effort into solving Joe and Jane Averages pain points.

The Motorola 2021 e-and-g-series its about ‘bang for buck’ without sacrificing quality or reliability.

We are just about ready to publish the review on the $199 moto e7 with a huge 6.5” HD+ screen, 48MP snapper (binned to 12MP), 4000mAh battery using the new power-sipping MediaTek Helio G25. Spoiler – it rates very well.

The $159 moto e7 power (essentially the same as the e7) has 13MP snapper and a massive 5000mAh battery. OK, you don’t get NFC at this price, but you do get a good, honest, Motorola backed phone – quality that you can count on.

We have not seen the $249 moto g10 and $299 g 30 yet, but these look pretty good on paper.

“Motorola is more committed than ever to pushing boundaries. Our Motorola 2021 e-and-g series embody our mission to bring exceptional value and outstanding features to Australians”.
Danny Adamopoulos, General Manager of Sales, APAC for Mature Markets, Motorola.
