The Moto G 5G will be available unlocked and through carriers starting January 30, 2025, while the Moto G Power 5G will follow shortly on February 6, 2025.

Despite its durability, the Moto G Power remains under 9mm thick and features a large 6.8-inch LCD display, comparable in size to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Motorola has unveiled two new budget smartphones, the Moto G 5G priced at $200 and the Moto G Power 5G at $300, both featuring significant upgrades from last year's models.

Both models are equipped with robust 5,000mAh batteries, providing over 24 hours of usage, and support 30W TurboPower for fast charging, with the Moto G Power also offering 15W wireless charging.

Each device boasts a bright 1,000-nit display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, enhancing the experience for streaming, gaming, and web browsing.

Notably, the Moto G Power features an IP68 and IP69 water-resistance rating, allowing it to withstand immersion in water, a rarity for phones in this price range.

This high level of protection against water and dust intrusion is complemented by MIL-STD-810H certification, indicating the phone's resilience to falls and extreme environmental conditions.

Both smartphones include a dual-camera system with a 50-megapixel primary camera; however, the Moto G Power enhances its photography capabilities with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera.

While the Moto G Play can handle some water exposure, it lacks the robust water resistance of the Moto G Power, which is designed for more demanding conditions.

Motorola has also improved its software support policy for these models, offering two major updates and three years of security updates, although this still falls short of competitors like Samsung.

Despite these advancements, concerns linger regarding the software experience, as previous models faced criticism for excessive pre-installed bloatware.

Both smartphones are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, ensuring efficient performance alongside their impressive display and camera features.
