The new features added in include brigther screen, better speaker, expandable memory and contol buttons for camera. It is slightly thicker compared to L6 with the volume of 59cc and the weight of 96. Not a big change to be seen clearly. Some of the feature from the L6 can still be seen in the L7 especially the design. Eventhough it is made a little bit thicker than L6 but there are no major make-over just a few buttons that was added on the side of the phone. This phone is available in three color which is black, silver, and pink. Special editions of this phone are offered in some country which come in different colors such as the Malaysian Celcom has offered special editions Motorola SLVR L7 in red. This phone uses TFT screen with 256K colors making photo and video viewing clearer and more fun. TFT LCD screen is widely used in digital camera display, so when this phone uses that type of screen it shows that it is made for photo and video shooting. Compared to the L6 which uses 65K colors CSTN LCD screen, this phone has almost 4 times more colors which produce vivid graphic.

If you like to listen to mp3 through the loud speaker, this phone is a suitable choice for you as it has a clear and loud speaker. When listen to mp3 the bass and treble can be listened clearly without the hissing noise. Look at the size of the speaker it is slightly thinner than most cellphones' speaker. There is a minor improvement from L6.

The major improvement is in its expandable memory. Compared to the L6 it has a slot for transflash/micro-SD card up to 1gb. The expandable memory allows you to store more songs, photos, and videos. Transflash is common among the motorola's cellphones but the problem with this type of card is that it is not as common as SD/mmc which you can buy anywhere. The transflash is convertible to SD. This type of card cost more than typical SD card it is about two times more expensive.

The buttons is similar to those found in L6. All the buttons are easily pressed but the toggle buttons are rather a little bit tricky as you can accidently pressed the centre button. And the toggle buttons are a little bit too small for people with big fat fingers or thumb. New buttons are added on the side of the phone which give you more control of the volume and camera. Taking photo is easier with those button where you can zoom and press the shutter without having to stretch your finger to press the centre button.

Transfering data in the L7 is through mini USB or direct transfer to the mini SD card. You can use those to transfer songs,photos, and videos from or to the computers.
