Motorola G Power price is only $200 or Rs. 17,890 in India, undercutting phones of similar quality. If you are wondering this is the phone for you, keep reading to find out.

Motorola G Power Design And Display

Motorola G Power 2021 looks like a reasonable upgrade from last year’s offer, with a slightly larger 6.6-inch display with an edge-to-edge design. The front is the same with a hole-punch notch from which a selfie camera pokes.

On the other side, the camera bump is now at the center and the plastic back makes it looks cheap. However, given Motorola G Power price, this isn’t something to complain.

There is a headphone jack at the top and a USB-C port at the bottom. The power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor and they are on the right side of the phone, along with the volume rocker.

In our Motorola G Power review, the scanner worked just fine – it was accurate and fast, which is nice for a phone of this price.

The display’s resolution is only 720p, a downgrade from last year’s 1,080p. The difference in image quality is noticeable and this is one of the most significant and frustrating changes.

Motorola G Power Specs And Performance

Under the hood, the phone is power by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with either RAM of 3GB and onboard storage of 32GB or RAM of 4GB and storage of 64GB.

Last year’s variant runs on a Snapdragon 665 processor which packs more power than the 662. However, given the lower starting point of Motorola G Power price, this downgrade is understandable.

The phone performs pretty well in day-to-day tasks. It is fast and responsive even when you multitask or play games.

Despite Motorola G Power price, it can handle Call of Duty: Mobile. Games like Asphalt 9 will cause the phone to stutter but overall, it works well for most users.

Motorola G Power Battery Life

The phone draws power from a large 5,000mAh battery and thanks to the power-resolution display, you can expect even longer battery life.

Users can get up to three days from one charge under light usage. Battery life is one of the most convincing reasons to buy the phone in the first place.

You can rely on the phone’s 15W fast charging but there is no wireless option – nothing odd given Motorola G Power price.

Motorola G Power Cameras

Much like last year’s offer, the phone features a triple-camera setup but instead of an ultra-wide lens, what you have this year is a depth sensor. So what you have is a 48MP/ f/1.7 main camera, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor.

With Motorola G Power price, expecting it to be a competent camera phone is too much. Photos it takes have muted colors and lots of noise.

Motorola G Power Software

Another highlight of the Motorola G Power features is its software experience, which is quite close to vanilla Android.

Motorola did add some tweaks to the system, including the ability to touch the screen with three fingers to take a screenshot, launch the cameras by twisting the phone, and silencing it by picking it up when it is ringing.

It’s a nice decision that the company keeps all of the tweaks in the Moto app, making things tidy instead of showing everything in front of users and clutter the whole thing.

Motorola G Power Price, Availability, And Warranty

Motorola G Power price is $200 (Rs. 17,890 in India) for the base 3GB/32GB variant. Paying an extra $50 and you will have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The phone is available for purchase on January 14 but Indian users will have to wait until April 21 to get the phone.

The handset comes with a 12-month limited warranty that only covers defects from the manufacturers. So users might want to be careful with the device as it isn’t exactly water-resistant.
