Pros
- • The undeniably legendary three-day battery life reliably continues to be the single defining and most useful feature of the phone.
- • The overall physical design was somewhat modernized with a highly textured back panel to completely prevent ugly fingerprints.
- • Successfully provides Motorola's highly praised, clean, bloatware-free near-stock Android 10 software user experience.
- • The official entry-level starting price was aggressively lowered compared to the previous 2020 model to attract budget buyers.
Cons
- • Bizarrely deliberately downgraded the display from a sharp 1080p panel on the 2020 model to a heavily pixelated, dim 720p screen.
- • Completely intentionally removed the excellent dual stereo speakers found on the 2020 model, replacing them with a highly weak mono speaker.
- • The incredibly basic budget Snapdragon 662 processor is somehow noticeably slower than the processor used in the previous year's model.
- • Frustratingly completely removed the highly requested dedicated ultrawide camera specifically to heavily aggressively cut manufacturing costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Moto G Power (2021) better than the 2020 model?
Absolutely not. In an incredibly frustrating and highly criticized move, Motorola officially severely downgraded the display resolution, the processor, the speakers, and the cameras compared to the older 2020 model.
Does it still have the three-day battery life?
Yes. The absolutely only highly praised feature Motorola successfully retained was the massive 5000mAh battery capacity, which still easily and reliably delivers up to three full days of basic usage.
Are there stereo speakers?
No. Motorola deliberately and frustratingly removed the excellent dual stereo speakers found on the beloved 2020 model, fully replacing them with a highly disappointing single bottom-firing speaker.
Is the screen 1080p?
No. In the absolute most heavily criticized hardware downgrade, the display resolution was significantly dropped from a sharp 1080p panel to a highly pixelated, low-quality 720p LCD screen.
Does it have an ultrawide camera?
No. The highly useful and highly requested dedicated ultrawide camera from the previous year was completely removed entirely to aggressively save on basic manufacturing costs.
