OVERVIEW: MOTOROLA G POWER (2026)
Display and durability
A 6.8-inch IPS LCD with Full HD+ resolution (1080 × 2388), refresh rate of 120 Hz, and maximum brightness of 1,000 nits is included. The Corning Gorilla Glass 7i protects the display. The phone has been tested in 14 MIL-STD-810H categories for circumstances including drops, temperature extremes, and humidity, according to Motorola, which underlines robust protection with both IP68 and IP69 dust/water resistance. The build is described by GSMArena as having a Gorilla Glass 7i front, a silicone polymer (eco-leather) back, a plastic frame, and support for both eSIM and Nano-SIM.
Performance and software
The phone is pre-installed with Android 16. The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (6 nm) chipset, which has a Mali-G57 MC2 GPU and an octa-core CPU (2×2.4GHz Cortex-A76 + 6×2.0GHz Cortex-A55), powers it. It has 128GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and a dedicated microSDXC slot for expansion. Additionally, Motorola advertises “RAM Boost,” which claims to employ up to 24GB of storage as temporary RAM for more seamless app switching (depending on settings and circumstances).
Extra software/AI-style features Motorola highlights include:
- Circle to Search for quick Google searches by circling or tapping content on-screen.
- Google Gemini supports conversational help and multitasking.
Cameras and battery
On the rear, the Motorola G Power (2026) has a 50MP main camera with OIS and an 8MP ultrawide camera, and Motorola/GSMArena notes an added “macro vision” capability in the camera system. The selfie camera is 32MP. Video recording is listed at 1080p at 30fps for both the rear and front cameras.
Battery and charging details are a major selling point:
- 5,200 mAh battery capacity.
- 30W wired charging support.
- 15W wireless charging support (listed in the full specs).
- Motorola claims the battery will retain over 80% of its original capacity after 1,000 charging cycles.
Connectivity and extras
Connectivity includes 5G (Sub‑6), plus Wi‑Fi ac dual-band and NFC. Other practical extras include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an FM radio.
