“The Moto G Power 5G (2024) has excellent battery life and a fun new design. It’s a decent $300 phone, but your money is better spent elsewhere.”
Pros
- New leather back is great
- Loud, clear speakers
- Two-day battery life
- Wireless charging and NFC
Cons
- Low-quality display
- Terrible haptics
- Poor gaming performance
- Very bad cameras
- Ad-filled software
- Only one promised update
How good can a $300 smartphone really be? That was the question I had as I took the Moto G Power 5G (2024) out of its box and began to set it up. In a world where many flagship smartphones are selling for $1,000 or more, what can you get for just $300 in 2024?
