  • Excellent, long-lasting battery life that often lasts two days with regular use
  • Solid build quality and an appealing vegan leather finish that feels premium
  • Features a rare-for-the-price IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance rating
  • Includes features often missing in budget phones, such as a 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD card slot, NFC, and wireless charging capability
  • Large, bright 6.8-inch Full HD+ 120Hz display is good for media consumption
  • Clean Android 15 software experience with minimal bloatware compared to previous models
  • Good call quality and decent stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support
  • Takes sharp, detailed photos in good lighting conditions for its price point

What customers don't like about Motorola Moto G Power 2025 (8GB + 128GB)

  • Performance is slower and less powerful than its predecessor (the 2024 model) and key competitors
  • Camera performance, especially in low light or when zooming, is average at best and can be grainy and lack detail
  • Only promised two years of OS upgrades and three years of security updates, which is less than some competitors like Samsung
  • The vegan leather back is prone to attracting and holding onto dust, dirt, and hair
  • Uses an LCD panel instead of the more vibrant OLED screens found on some rival phones
  • Some users report occasional lag, app crashes, or connectivity issues during multitasking or gaming
  • Phone can be considered heavy and thick by some users

Verdict

The Motorola Moto G Power (2025) is an affordable 5G smartphone featuring 8GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage (up to 1TB via microSD). Key specs include a 6.8-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, and a large 5,000mAh battery that supports 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. It boasts a 50MP main camera with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and an 8MP ultrawide lens, along with premium touches like a vegan leather finish and IP68/IP69 water resistance. Pros are the durable design with high-level water resistance, the inclusion of wireless charging at this price point, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and relatively clean Android 15 software. Cons include an uninspiring LCD display (not OLED), generally subpar camera photo and video quality, a processor that offers slower performance than the previous model, and a limited software support policy (two OS upgrades and three years of security updates) compared to some competitors.
