Moto G Power (2022), a budget smartphone that Motorola announced back in November 2021, is finally arriving in the US. Well, sales aren’t live yet but you can now pre-order the phone. Shipments will begin on March 18.
Motorola is charging $199.99 for the 64GB variant of the Moto G Power (2022) in the US. If you opt for the 128GB storage option, you will need to shell out an additional $50. As part of a limited-time promotion, Motorola is also offering up to a 20 percent discount on its Moto Care Coverage plans with this phone. The service usually costs $25, $40, and $50 for Good, Better, and Best tiers respectively. They vary in the length of extended warranty and damage coverages.
Moto G Power (2022) specs and features
The Moto G Power (2022) sports a 6.5-inch LCD screen with an expanded 20:9 aspect ratio. The screen offers a 720 x 1600 pixels resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. Powered by the MediaTek Helio G37 processor, Motorola is offering the device with 4GB of RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage. You can expand the storage capacity by an additional 512GB via a micro SD card.
This phone has three cameras on the back. There’s a 50-megapixel primary shooter with PDAF (phase detection autofocus), a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Camera features include hyper-lapse video, dual capture, night mode, and Google Lens integration. The front-facing camera is an 8-megapixel sensor. The Moto G Power (2022) can record FHD (1080p) videos both with the front and back cameras.
Motorola has packed a 5,000mAh battery in this phone. The company claims up to three days of battery life on normal usage. That’s a bit bold claim but you should still get decent screen time. A 10W charging isn’t too impressive though, neither is Android 11. The phone should have arrived with Android 12 out of the box. Hopefully, it will get updated to the newer version soon.
The Moto G Power (2022) expectedly gets a plastic frame and plastic rear panel with an IP52-rated water repellent design. Other notable features and specs include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, face unlock, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is increasingly becoming a rarity on smartphones.
All in all, the Moto G Power (2022) is a decent budget smartphone at $200. If you find the device compelling enough, you can now place an order for it on Motorola’s official website. the 64GB variant comes in Dark Grove while the 128GB variant is available in an Ice Blue color.
