Motorola’s latest flagship is the G7, which comes with 64GB of internal storage — unless you pick up the G7 Play or Power which both ship with just 32GB. The good news is you can take some of the extra money you saved buying the phone to upgrade your storage via a microSD card. Motorola phones support microSD up to 512GB so you can go all-out if you want to.
Go all-out on external storage
Samsung 512GB EVO Plus

Samsung offers a maxed-out microSD for your Moto G7 that’s definitely expensive, but it’s still a great deal if you want every gigabyte of extra storage you’re allowed. This is a great option if you’ve got a large media library you want to transfer over to your phone.

PNY’s 512GB microSD is the most expensive on our list but it’s well-reviewed and was one of the first cards of this size made available. You’ll be able to shoot over 80 hours of full HD video on this card or transfer an equal amount of media onto the card from your computer.

Affordable upgrade
Samsung EVO Select 128GB

There’s no better time to buy a microSD
The prices for microSD just keep on coming down, which is great news for anyone who owns a Moto G7! If you were looking to max out the storage on your phone you can get a 512GB card for just over $100. Don’t need that much storage? There are even better deals for smaller cards.
Our top pick is the 512GB Samsung EVO Plus which is available at the best price for that amount of storage. The best value pick is the SanDisk Ultra 400GB — plenty of storage for a crazy good price. And if you bought a budget phone because you love to save money, the 128GB Samsung EVO Select still offers a substantial upgrade for your G7 at a wallet-friendly price.
