Moto G Power 2026 review: More than a pretty face?

Pros

Includes a headphone jack
Offers expandable storage
Features a durable, grippy build with IP68/IP69 rating
Battery provides decently long life
Main camera performs well in daylight

Cons

Screen suffers from sluggish pixels and ghosting
Chipset is outdated and delivers poor performance
Low light camera quality is unsatisfactory
Wireless charging has been removed
Wired charging speeds are not impressive

The Moto G Power 2026 offers some appealing features such as a headphone jack, expandable storage, and a durable build with IP68/IP69 rating. However, it falls short in several key areas that significantly impact the user experience.

The display suffers from sluggish pixels causing noticeable ghosting, and its performance is hampered by an older, entry-level chipset that hasn't seen any improvements from the previous generation, leading to frequent stutters. Furthermore, the absence of wireless charging, a feature present in its predecessor, is a notable step backward.

While it might be considered by users who do not prioritize these shortcomings, the overall consensus is that better alternatives are available at its price point.

“However, the phone does fall a bit flat in a few key areas, including the screen and the chipset, which hasn't seen any improvement since last year.”

“Also, the wireless charging is gone this time around. If for some reason you don't care about those things, then the Moto G Power 2026 could be worth considering. Otherwise, even at this price, there are better options out there.”
