Motorola has kicked off 2025 with the introduction of two new budget smartphones, the Moto G Power 2025 and the Moto G 2025. These models are packed with great features that cater to users looking for affordability without sacrificing quality. Let’s dive into the specs of these devices.
Device Specifications
The Moto G Power 2025 boasts a 6.8-inch FHD+ LCD display, featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, all protected by Gorilla Glass 5 to ensure durability and vibrant visuals. On the other hand, the Moto G 2025 comes with a slightly smaller 6.7-inch FHD+ LCD, offering the same refresh rate and brightness, but it utilizes Gorilla Glass 3 for protection.
Both smartphones are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. The Moto G Power comes with 8GB of RAM, while the Moto G provides options of 4GB or 6GB. Both run on Android 15, which includes features such as audio sharing, better accessibility, and enhanced security settings.
Camera and Battery Features
The Moto G Power 2025 is equipped with a triple-camera setup that includes a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP selfie camera, enhanced by OIS and Quad Pixel technology for clearer images. In contrast, the Moto G 2025 features a 50MP main sensor along with a 2MP macro lens and a 16MP selfie camera, providing good photography capabilities considering its price.
Both smartphones are fitted with a 5000mAh battery. The Moto G Power 2025 supports 30W TurboPower wired charging and 15W wireless charging, whereas the Moto G 2025 comes with only 30W wired charging.
Durability and Audio Quality
One of the highlights of the Moto G Power 2025 is its MIL-STD-810H certification and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, making it one of the most resilient budget phones available. It can handle extreme conditions like falls, humidity, and water immersion, which is quite impressive for its price range.
The Moto G 2025, while not as rugged, still offers IP52 water resistance and features a vegan leather back similar to its counterpart. Both phones support Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and Bass Boost technology for an immersive audio experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Moto G 2025 will be hitting the market on January 30, 2025, priced at $199.99. It will be available in two colors: Forest Gray and Sapphire Blue. Meanwhile, the Moto G Power 2025 is set to launch on February 6, 2025, at a price of $299.99, and will come in Slate Gray and Leaf Green.
Both models will be sold unlocked through Motorola’s online store, Amazon, and Best Buy. They will also be available from major U.S. carriers, including T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and more, in the upcoming months. Canadian customers can expect availability starting May 2, 2025, via motorola.ca and select carriers.
