But lately, Motorola has been throwing a few surprises our way with its Moto G phones.
you’re able to buy the Moto G Power through Motorola,Best BuyandAmazonright now.
For this year’s offering, Motorola added MIL-STD-810H drop certification as well as IP68 and IP69 water resistance.
Those latter specs mean the phone can go underwater and even withstand a powerful spray without suffering damage.
That’s a level of durability not usually found in phones at this price.
But this year’s Moto G Power is dim even by those low standards.
That makes even a 6.8-inch panel feel pretty confined.
That’s slightly more accurate than the Pixel 8a and its 0.24 Delta-E score.
(Numbers closer to zero are better.)
The Galaxy A35 handles that better, producing a sharper outline.
The ice plants also stand out a little more in the A35 image.
The green and red peppers have a richer tone, too.
The adeptness with color continues when I switched over to the ultrawide camera.
Where the Moto G Power starts running into trouble is when you try out some of the specialty modes.
Using the macro mode on both phones, I tried to get a close up of an arum lily.
The macro image captured by the Galaxy A35 looks much better.
The Moto G Power’s cameras are at their least reliable at night.
Contrast that with the Galaxy A35 photo where all the colors appear like they should.
Use the zoom sparingly if you opt for Motorola’s budget phone.
I don’t think all the speciality modes on the Moto G Power fall flat.
Still, it’s not a bad shot captured by the Moto G Power.
I’m less impressed with the selfie cam on Motorola’s phone.
The image is far too warm, and my skin has taken on an overly reddish hue.
The Moto G Power (2025) follows that script to the letter.
The extended software support and added durability add to the appeal of the 2025 phone over previous iterations.
