Motorola has released a bunch of desirable midrange phones over the last few years. I love the sleek and fun Razrs, but the company’s sub-$500 devices have helped fuel Moto’s resurgence. The Moto G lineup is a significant piece of that puzzle, and whenever a new one is released, I can’t wait to test it out. The Moto G Power (2026) is the latest entry, and while it still provides many of the perks that won customers over in the first place, it’s not perfect.
It still features a durable build and a microSD card slot for expandable storage, but its Dimensity 6300 chipset and 8GB of RAM feel inadequate for $400. Sure, Motorola is aggressive with sales, but $400 is a big chunk of money, especially when there are so many viable alternatives for the same hit to your wallet.
