Motorola has unveiled its latest offerings for budget-conscious consumers: the 2025 Moto G and Moto G Power handsets. Designed to cater to users seeking excellent value for their money, these smartphones promise to deliver impressive features without breaking the bank. As they gear up for their U.S. release, let's dive into what makes these devices stand out in a crowded market.
Moto G Power (2025): A Durable Upgrade
Priced at $299.99, the Moto G Power (2025) maintains the same affordable price as its predecessor. It boasts a robust 5,000mAh battery capable of 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. Notably, this model comes with IP69 water and dust resistance, Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability.
This enhancement is a significant leap from the previous year's "water-repellent" design, offering complete protection for up to 30 minutes underwater while also resisting extreme temperatures, humidity, and minor drops from a height of under four feet.
While Motorola doesn't market the Moto G Power as a rugged device, its resilience suggests it can withstand outdoor adventures without fear of damage. Aesthetically, it features a stylish vegan leather finish available in trendy Slate Gray and Leaf Green colors.
The specific processor details remain under wraps, but the Moto G Power (2025) comes with impressive specifications, including a 6.8-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50MP primary rear camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 16MP front-facing camera. Additionally, it offers advanced audio features like Dolby Atmos and Bass Boost.
More information will emerge as we approach the February 6 U.S. release date. However, it's already set to launch with major carriers such as T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T, attracting bargain hunters across the nation.
Moto G (2025): Enhancements Worth Noting
The 2025 Moto G offers significant improvements over its predecessor, featuring a larger 6.7-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a vegan leather finish, and 30W charging support—all while retaining an ultra-affordable price point of $199.99.
While it sacrifices some features like IP69 certification and wireless charging compared to the Moto G Power, it still impresses with a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, 5G capabilities, and a 5,000mAh battery. The device also retains a 50MP camera and includes a 2MP Macro Vision lens, along with a 16MP front-facing camera.
Remarkably, the Moto G (2025) retains the premium audio technologies found in the G Power and runs on pre-loaded Android 15 software. It's set to debut even earlier, on January 30, in a "universally unlocked" variant, before expanding to various carriers, including Boost Mobile and Google Fi.
