The Moto G Power 2022 has the renownedly long battery life for which Moto G Power phones are known, as well as a competitive price point and a comprehensive set of budget features that some may argue put it ahead of some of the more costly flagship phones (from a price-versus-value standpoint). The Moto G Power has a simple appearance. It is comfortable to grasp and handle thanks to the ergonomically curved sides and gently textured plastic back, and the polycarbonate shell’s solid, well-built feel gives the impression that it is more expensive than it actually is.
The 6.6-inch LCD of the Moto G Power has a 720p resolution. The screen appears to me to be quite dark and washed out, and the images aren’t quite as sharp as they may be. Despite being somewhat more comfortable to operate with one hand than the somewhat bigger 6.7-inch Motorola One 5G Ace, the phone itself is on the large side. The G Power’s Snapdragon 662 CPU made a noticeable difference in performance compared to a step-up chipset from the 700-series. Jumping between apps and activating the camera takes an extra beat longer.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]It takes longer than the Ace with the same main camera sensor to take and process pictures in Portrait and Night Vision modes. Additionally, more demanding operations like repeatedly switching between Google Maps navigation display observable stuttering. A microSD card slot on the G Power allows for additional storage, which seems vital in this situation. 14GB of the 32GB version I tested is already taken up by Android 10 files.
Both the G Stylus and the Power have a dedicated Night mode that takes numerous photographs and combines them for a brighter picture. Both contain a 48-megapixel main camera. If you desire a larger field of vision, the Stylus features an additional 8-megapixel ultrawide lens, although the quality is mediocre. A 2-megapixel macro camera is also included. The G Power has the same primary camera as the One 5G Ace, and like that device, it captures beautiful images in favourable lighting.
Particularly with close subjects, it accurately gauges exposure and captures a wealth of detail. Colors appear adequately bright when its AI detects a picture like a landscape, but otherwise it tends towards flat, washed-out colors. Things become a little messier in poor lighting situations where noise reduction blurs a lot of detail. There is noticeable noise and/or noise reduction in situations with strong contrast and brightened shadows.
