Our Motorola Moto G Power (2021) Review

✅ Reasons to buy

  • Great phone on a budget. It costs around $200, depending on where it is purchased.
  • Excellent battery life. Most are able to go two days, even three, on one full charge.
  • Ultra-wide screen. The majority of the face of the phone is used for the display, and feels like a good use of space.
  • Uses “My UX” software, which allows you to personalize gestures like twisting the phone to launch the camera.

❌ Reasons not to buy

  • Doesn’t come with a lot of storage (32GB or 64GB). You can use the microSD card slot to add up to 512GB of storage.
  • Only allows one Android software update while you have the phone.

⚖️ The Verdict

The Moto G Power (2021) is a strong smartphone for people on a budget. The battery life is its biggest draw, and an added bonus is the 3.5mm headphone jack on the top of the phone.
