Will touching my Motorola G7 Play after using a baby wipe or sanitizer wipe on my hands cause liquid damage to the device?

No it should be fine

Will taking my Motorola G7 Play in and out of the case often damage or bend the phone, since it's a two piece heavy duty case?

ocnbrze · Oct 18, 2019

depends...there is always a possibility. how often are we take it out of the case?

ocnbrze · Oct 18, 2019

how much of the baby wipe or sanitizer are we talking about? as long as it is of normal use......no you are fine. but if you are pouring sanitizer on the phone, then yes you will get liquid damage.

Will damp or slightly wet hands cause liquid damage to the Motorola G7 Play like after touching a wet soda bottle or washing your hands?

ocnbrze · Oct 18, 2019

no. as long as the liquid does not reach the insides, you are good. most obvious places of liquid entry would be the headphone jack and charge ports. as long as no liquids get inside from there you should be fine.

looks like it is water resistant:

No, because these new Motorola's are decently water "Resistant"

No, it has a water repellent coating according to Motorola.

Here's a direct quote from the Moto website on the G7 Play...

"water-repellent, inside and out
A water-repellent design protects against accidental spills, sweat, and light rain.††

†† Advanced water-repellent design creates a barrier to help protect against moderate exposure to water such as accidental spills, splashes, sweat or light rain. Not designed to be submersed in water, or exposed to pressurized water, or other liquids; Not waterproof."

It won't work right with damp hands.
I don't have this phone but every other one I've had hates water.

Will my Motorola G7 Play bend easily when taking it in or out of my two piece case?

Would I notice tiny water specs if it got on my Motorola G7 Play screen and would that cause liquid damage even thought the phone is in a Otterbox like case?

Is the Motorola G7 Optimo the same as the Motorola G7 Play? Does it have an IR dot projector or flood illuminator?

How is laser autofocus safe since it can damage people's eyes or damage your eyes if you're looking at the back of the phone and smartphone companies can use high peered lasers since there are no safety regulations they have to follow to make sure it's safe?

it is a low powered laser that is scattered across the scene in front of the camera.

here this article explains it better:
https://www.trustedreviews.com/opinion/how-the-lg-g3-laser-af-camera-focus-works-2915523

here are some quotes from the article:

What is laser AF?
Laser focusing is there to help out with a deficiency in the normal kind of focusing used by mobile phone cameras, and most cameras of all kinds – contrast detection. This focus system uses the normal output from the camera sensor, analysing it as the focusing engine moves back and forward in order to find out at which points the image is sharpest.

The issue? If there’s not much light, there won’t be enough contrast in the image to judge whether it is in focus or not.

The laser focusing aid provides this light. The output from a low-power laser is scattered out across the scene, giving multiple points of light upon which the contrast detection system can hang. Focusing on a little point of light on a subject is just as good as focusing on the subject itself.

Using this kind of focusing rules-out having to use the LED flash as a focus aid, which is particularly handy if you want to take pictures of people in poor lighting. The less time spent with lights flashing in your eyes, the better.

and

Is laser AF safe?
Taking photos of people brings up an obvious question – is this safe? We’ve all heard the stories about how firing laser pointers into people’s eyes is dangerous.

The LG G3 focus aid uses a low-power Class I laser, whose output is effectively split into fragments in order to give multiple points of focus. An already low-power laser’s output will be tiny by the time it actually reaches your subject.

This also means its range will be pretty low, but it’s with closer subjects that focusing in low light is more of an issue anyway.

you have all these conversations on three different threads that contain the answers to your questions.

One thing you can be sure of is that even a phone which has it will not have it constantly on, only when the camera is in use. The power level will be low (they'd never be able to sell it if not, and it would have to have one of those yellow warning stickers on it).
