In the meantime, the 2021 Moto G Power largely starts where G Play left off, but strangely, you shouldn’t expect a big difference in battery life between the two. While older participants in Motorola’s G Power line had noticeably larger batteries than other Moto Gs of a given year, this new one comes with the same 5,000 mAh cell as the $ 180 model. So, as Motorola justifies the additional charge? With a handful of enhanced components. The basic $ 199 model comes with a Snapdragon 662 chipset with 3 GB and 32 GB of storage, while a $ 50 premium offers 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. In addition, the two models are identical, from their 6.6 inch 1600×720 screens to their main 48 megapixel cameras and 2 megapixel depth and macro cameras.
As always, Motorola seems to have the bottom and middle layers of the market well covered, but we may not be looking at business as usual. Companies that are arguably best known for their next-generation devices, such as OnePlus and Samsung, are shifting their focus to the undermarket in search of sustained growth. In recent years, Motorola has managed to gain profitability on the backs of low-cost smartphones, but all signs point to much tougher competition as we move forward in 2021.
