Following the leaks earlier this week, it appears that Motorola has gone ahead and put two new phones on its website in Brazil: the Moto G9 Plus and the Moto E7 Plus. Both devices come with rear fingerprint sensors, large batteries, 4GB of RAM, and multiple cameras on the back, but the G9 Plus has improved lenses and USB-C charging.

The G9 Plus, which was basically revealed in its entirety by a leaked carrier list, is the more premium of the two phones. For a price of R $ 2,249.10, the G9 Plus should offer solid performance with the Snapdragon 730G, Qualcomm’s first “gaming” chipset. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage as well. The camera system on the back includes four lenses, although the macro and depth cameras are arguably useless for most people. It has a large HDR10 screen and a 5,000 mAh battery, which should make it a good phone for longer games or media viewing sessions. And hey, it has a headphone jack!

The E7 Plus is priced below R $ 1,349.10. It brings the same 4GB of RAM and 5,000 battery size, but saves costs with a Snapdragon 460 chipset and only 64GB of storage. The screen is 6.5 “and the cameras also downgraded. Instead of a four lens setup, the E7 Plus only has two on the back, and one of them is a 2MP depth camera. And say goodbye to USB- C, because this device uses the good micro-USB standard. Does it even have a headphone jack too?

Motorola loves to launch new phones, and these two seem like solid devices for the price. It’s great to see such large batteries paired with efficient processors – both the G9 Plus and E7 Plus should last for several days on a charge. It’s a bit disappointing to see micro-USB still shipping to phones in 2020, but like Apple’s Lightning chargers, micro-USB cables are still cheap and plentiful in many areas.
