Haier G7 Overall Review

The Haier G7 is an Android smartphone announced in 2017, marking its place in the competitive budget smartphone segment. With a 5.0-inch display, the G7 provides a compact yet comfortable viewing experience for daily tasks. It runs on the MT6737 chipset, which, while not the most powerful in the market, is capable of handling basic smartphone functions smoothly.

Photography on the Haier G7 is catered to by an 8 MP primary camera on the back and a 5 MP front camera, suitable for casual photography and video calls. The phone comes with 16 GB of internal storage and 1 GB of RAM, which is modest by today’s standards but adequate for users with light usage patterns.

One of the notable features of the Haier G7 is its scratch-resistant glass, which adds a layer of durability to the screen, protecting it from daily wear and tear. The device is powered by a 2200 mAh battery, offering enough juice to get through the day under moderate use.
