The smartphone market is booming up and new smartphones are being launched by companies every week. Motorola has launched two new smartphones this year. Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus are the latest offerings by the company.

But before that, take a look at device specifications.

Device Specifications:

Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus waterproof test

There are a couple of tests we can perform to find whether Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus is waterproof or not. These include Splashproof test, water immersion test, rainwater test, and dustproof test. After performing all these tests, we will be able to know whether Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus is waterproof or not.

Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus Splash Proof Test

In this test, we are going to put some water droplets on the device to find out how the device reacts to it. Since most of the devices have an oleophobic coating which saves them from any kind of water splash from fatal damage.

After performing the splashproof test we didn’t find any signs of damage on the device. However, touch input was not working adequately because of water droplets. Apart from that, a little distortion in the speaker can also be seen. It seems that the device is indeed splashproof to some extent.

Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus Shower test

In this test, we are going to suspend the device in an artificial shower/rain environment. Later one we will see if the device is ideal to use in rainy conditions or showering conditions.

After testing Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus in artificial rain condition, we came to know that a user can’t make or place calls because the speaker and volume buttons don’t work properly in shower conditions.

Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus Quick Immersion Test

In this test, we are going to immerse the device with a bucket full of water for 30 seconds and will see whether it survives this or not.

After performing this test we found out that the device cannot hold under water. The speaker has a distorted sound.

Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus DustProof Test

In this test, we will keep the device in a sandy environment with lots of grain and sand particles with a running fan around it. This situation mimics dust storms and will check how the device holds in such conditions.

After the dustproof test, no dust was found in the internal parts fo the device. This shows that indeed Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus is dustproof.

Conclusion: Can Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus survive under water?

The latest Moto G7 & Moto G7 Plus isn’t officially IP68 certified. However, it will survive some water splashes, accidental drops of water or everyday use in the moderate dusty environment.
