Moto G Power 5G (2024) review: Great battery life under $300, yikes cameras

Not everyone fancies getting super advanced flagships. Sometimes it’s simplicity and affordability that takes precedence, which is what to keep in mind when scoping out the best cheap phones around. The Moto G Power (2024) makes a strong argument in being part of that conversation, complete with a beefy battery, sophisticated design, and boosted specs over last year’s version.

I’ve spent time using the Moto G Power (2024) to see if has enough value to steer people away from other sub-$500 priced phones new to the market — like the recent Nothing Phone 2a, which I still think offers one of the best values in a phone under $500.

In my Moto G Power (2024) review, I’ll tell you if it offers enough value at the even better sub-$300 cost. This price range gets tricky because the compromises become more apparent.

Announced mid-March, the Moto G Power (2024) went on sale on March 21 through wireless carriers like T-Mobile and Metro. If you prefer an unlocked model, you can pick it up for $299.99  directly through Motorola and Amazon.

It only comes in a single storage option, 128GB, and available in your choice of midnight blue or pale lilac. Sure, the options are limited compared to flagships, but this is typical for most budget phones.
