Moto G Power Review: The battery life is amazing even though it is a cheap smartphone!

It looks a bit plain, but how is it inside?

"Moto G Power" is a lightly battery life that exceeds that iPhone 12 and Galaxy S21, and has a good battery life as lined up with a super premium smartphone iPhone 12 Pro Max and Galaxy S21 ULTRA.It is a low -priced smartphone of $ 200 (about 21,600 yen). What can you expect?Gizmodo is reviewing the United States!


Very gorgeous to see!… Not, Moto G Power (2021) has a rather simple design.At only $ 200, we have everything we need.As the name "G Power" shows, it is equipped with a battery that lasts several days with a single charge.It's a very basic smartphone, but it's not a bad thing.

G Power was released last winter with Moto G Play ($ 170 = about 18,300 yen) and Moto G Stylus ($ 300 = about 32,300 yen).Snapdragon 662 It works without any problems with the internal organs.That's it for a big problem.It's not really good or bad.It's usually okay.

The basic 200 dollar model is equipped with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, but if you have a little more budget, a $ 250 model with a 4GB RAM and a 64GB basic storage.it's recommended.The difference of 1GB of RAM may seem like a big deal, but it will definitely be useful, especially when playing multiple apps in games or backgrounds.

Moto G Power (2021)

What is this?: 4G LTE cheap smartphone that lasts a long battery.

ikura?: $ 200 (32GB storage) and $ 250 (64GB storage).

Moto G Powerレビュー:格安スマホなのにバッテリーの持ちがすごい!

Favorite place: Specifications for prices, no software enlargement, battery life is longer, and headphone jack and microSD expandability are equipped.

I don't like it: It's a bit thick, low -resolution 720p display, no NFC, and it takes time to charge.

The G Power screen has a 8MP hole punchy camera, and the back is silver or gray.Overall, it has a simple design.The most notable is a large 600 x 720 resolution 620.8 inch LCD display.There are places where I know that I shouldn't want this for a smartphone of $ 200 on the 720p display, but I wonder if I couldn't move to a full HD within a frank budget.

6.With a wide range of pixel density of about 266 ppi throughout the 8 -inch display, you may notice that the screen is jagged and the screen looks extremely clear.On the other hand, the color looks relatively bright and clear.The 500 knit screen may look a little darker when viewed outdoors with strong direct sunlight, but there is no other dissatisfaction.

It's already familiar to cheap (but excellent) smartphones, but G Power is also standard 3.There are 5mm headphone jacks and microSD card slots, so you can add storage or use your favorite wired wireless.The waterproof standard is not officially shown, but according to Moto, it has a water -resistant design (so I put it on the snow in the image above).

G Power has some concerns.For example, G Play has a fingerprint sensor on the back, but the G Power has a side mount leader in the power button.There is no problem with reaction speed and accuracy, but it may be a bit difficult for left -handed people.

Another thing that is troublesome is that many other payment apps such as Google Pay are not supported without NFC.For example, you can buy it as a smartphone for children, but otherwise you can feel that the industry is lacking in standard functions.

The three cameras on the back of the G Power are composed of 48MP main cams, 2MP macrocams, and 2MP depthcams.I think 2MP macros are an interesting feature (but may not be used on a daily basis).For 48MP main cams, in bright places, the white balance of Moto tends to be slightly warm.But otherwise you can take bright and clear photos.

On the other hand, it is an impression that the image quality is slightly lowered in low light.For example, if you shoot near a light window indoors, it will be much coarse than Pixel 4a ($ 100 to 150).But maybe this is probably the difference between a $ 200 smartphone and a $ 350 smartphone.In addition, Moto has its own night vision mode that can respond to dark situations, but in the case of G Power, there is a big difference from Google's night vision mode in terms of details and clearness.。

The following is a comparison photo taken with Pixel 4a.If you arrange it, it will be a different atmosphere.

Finally, about the life of the battery.As mentioned earlier, G Power demonstrates the power worthy of its name.When I did a test to keep the video regenerated, it lasted 16 hours and 22 minutes.How amazing this is is that it is not only better than 12 hours and 36 minutes of Galaxy S21 for iPhone 12, but also 16 hours and 31 minutes of iPhone 12 Pro Max, a 'super' expensive premium smartphone.You can see that Galaxy S21 Ultra is comparable to 16 hours and 45 minutes.

The battery decrease in more realistic situations is that if you use it with a single charge, it will last a few days.In other words, you can charge your smartphone 2-3 times a week!However, the huge 5,000mAh battery also has a drawback, and the charging with the attached power adapter is limited to 10 watts, so it takes a relatively long time to charge.This may improve to some extent using a Moto Turbo Power charger (15 watts), but it is sold separately.

Finally, Moto G Power is 6.The honest point is that it is very regrettable that the 8 -inch screen is 720p resolution and non -NFC compatible.However, for a cheap smartphone of $ 200 as a whole, it is a surprisingly smooth performance and solid structure, and most of the time (especially in the sunshine) is usually taken.Give me.If you try to buy a smartphone with a similar budget, there is a risk that delays and bugs occur frequently.Although it is Android 10 instead of 11, it is nice that there is no extra preload and no software enlargement.

If you can afford to buy Pixel 4a, it is a better option in the sense that you can expect the OLED screen, a more powerful processor, and a much better camera quality.Still, if you want to reduce the budget for your smartphone, or if you are interested in a cheap smartphone that requires less charging, you may want to consider Moto G Power.
