Moto G7 Plus and Ulefone Armor 6 are now officially supported by TWRP
Official TWRP is now available for the Motorola Moto G7 Plus as well as the Ulefone Armor 6. Read on to know more about these devices!
The Motorola Moto G7 Plus was launched in February 2019 alongside its siblings in the Moto G7 family. With a 6.2″ FHD+ LCD and Qualcomm Snapdragon 636, the main draw of the phone at the time of its launch was its camera hardware, featuring dual rear cameras with a 16MP, f/1.7 primary sensor with OIS. All the phones in Moto’s 2019 lineup have launched with Android Pie, so you get a clean Android experience out-of-the-box, with just a few Moto improvements sprinkled on top.

T-Mobile's REVVLRY and REVVLRY+ are a rebranded Moto G7 Play and Moto G7 Plus with added bloatware
REVVLRY and REVVLRY+ were launched on July 19th. They share the exact same specs as the Moto G7 Play and G7 Plus, but T-Mobile doesn't mention Motorola.
Carrier-exclusive phones tend to not be very popular in the Android enthusiast community. They can sometimes remove core features of Android in favor of their own heavily branded options. Another negative is it's often complicated or impossible to unlock the bootloader on carrier-exclusive phones. That means no root, no custom ROMs or kernels, and no mods, which makes the bloatware harder to remove. Now, T-Mobile is going the extra mile with new REVVLRY and REVVLRY+ phones, which are just rebranded Moto G7 Play and Moto G7 Plus, respectively.
The Motorola Moto G7 Plus may launch on T-Mobile in the US
Motorola may release the Moto G7 Plus with Snapdragon 636 and 4GB RAM in the U.S. through T-Mobile, new FCC listing suggests.
Motorola may have been crushed by the strong forces of Chinese brands in the East but it still serves as a reasonable option in markets like LATAM and the U.S. This is primarily because it is among the most reliable names, especially in the budget segment. One of three new models of Moto G7 series which are available in the U.S. can be considered if you're planning to be kind to your wallet while buying a new smartphone. But don't make your mind just yet, as Motorola could be announcing the fourth and the most powerful device out of the bunch - Moto G7 Plus - in the U.S.
Motorola is working on a new "Night Vision" camera mode for the Motorola One Vision and Moto G7 Plus
Motorola is working on a new camera mode called "Night Vision," set to debut on the Motorola One Vision but will also be available on the Moto G7 Plus.
Motorola's 2018 smartphones barely managed to stay competitive against killer mid-range offerings from Xiaomi and other Chinese brands, but the Lenovo-owned brand is looking to shake things up in 2019. The foldable Motorola Razr and a mysterious quad camera flagship are proof that Motorola is once again actually trying to compete in the premium tier, and the Motorola One Vision shows that they're stepping things up in the mid-range market as well. Given that the Motorola One Vision has already appeared on the Bluetooth certification site, the FCC, and Google's ARCore supported device list, we expect the device to launch soon. Although we already know most of its specifications, there are still software features we have yet to uncover. Today, we will share some information on the new modes in Motorola's camera app that will likely either debut with the Motorola One Vision or arrive in a future software update for the One Vision and Moto G7 Plus.
