Motorola Moto G Power - 2022

The G Power 2022 edition is all about budget and battery life, and if you highly value those, then it will get the job done. Still, if you care about performance or camera quality, you should spend a tiny bit more, which will buy you a vastly more powerful phone all around.

What could have been the best budget phone Motorola ever made is enormously hampered by its processor, which can't keep up with the times. 3-day battery life, a great fingerprint scanner, and support for up to 512GB of expandable storage are, ultimately, reduced to ashes by the lag you'll constantly have to endure while using this phone.

The 2022 edition of the Moto G Power offers smooth performance and impressive battery life for $200.

If you are at all picky about your mobile experience, no, you shouldn't buy the 2022 Moto G Power. This phone has certain priorities in mind, and they're not mine. I have no doubt the G Power will sell in significant numbers thanks to its presence in basically every carrier sales channel. But as an unlocked phone? There are better options from Samsung and OnePlus in this price range.
