Motorola’s aptly named Moto G Power 5G is now official ahead of an April 13 US release at a $299.99 price with 120Hz screen refresh rate technology and 5,000mAh battery capacity.
Instead of simultaneously announcing all the new mid and high-end smartphones we know the company is preparing, Motorola seems to want to spend more time than usual in the limelight this quarter, taking the wraps off the global Edge 40 Pro flagship a couple of days ago and now doing the same with the much humbler Moto G Power 5G.
That leaves the Moto G Stylus (2023), G Stylus 5G (2023), Edge 40, and Razr+ (2023) for announcements at later dates, and knowing Motorola, a bunch of other lower-profile G and E-series models could also see daylight in the coming months.
For the time being, though, we’d like to focus our attention squarely on the Moto G Power 5G, which lacks 2023 branding for the simple reason that this is the first member of the big-battery handset family to support « modern » 5G speeds in addition to « outdated » 4G LTE connectivity.
Remember how few upgrades the Moto G Power (2022) brought to the table compared to its 2021 predecessor? The 2023 edition is pretty much the polar opposite, not only adding 5G support to the winning G Power value equation but also 120Hz display refresh rate technology and better storage and memory options.
