You also get a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, which is appreciated. The fingerprint scanner is on the back rather than under the screen (which can be awkward to use) or embedded in the power button (which can be even more awkward), and the data connection uses USB-C – let's hope the era of micro USB is gone forever. There are a few more design choices on the Moto E7i Power that we're fans of. Not many handsets have a dedicated button for the Google Assistant, but it's something we like – it saves you having to dig through menus or shout "hey Google" at your handset. In terms of buttons, everything is down the right-hand side as you look at it, with the power and volume buttons just below a Google Assistant button.
Of course there's a lot of plastic here, as you would expect, but the handset feels solid and well put together when you pick it up. The Moto E7i Power doesn't look as cheap as it actually is, which is to its credit: it's not the most stylish, the lightest, or the thinnest budget phone that you're going to come across this year, but it's perfectly respectable as far as its appearance and build quality goes. You can pick up the Moto E7i Power direct from Lenovo (opens in new tab) (which owns Motorola), as well as from a variety of third-party sources, including Tesco Mobile (opens in new tab), Argos (opens in new tab), Amazon (opens in new tab) and Clove (opens in new tab). For now, the phone isn't on sale in the US or Australia, and we haven't had any indications yet that it ever will be. Yes, you read that right: you can pick up the Moto E7i Power for just £79.99 (around $110 or AU$150) in the UK at the moment – we're not aware of a new smartphone that you can get cheaper at the moment. Just about the cheapest smartphone out there.
