Motorola is preparing to launch the latest versions of its Moto G Power and Moto G smartphones. These devices, which clock in at a respective $300 and $200, offer some premium features and specs at a lower price than the competition.
The 2024 Moto G Power offers several improvements over its 2023 predecessor, including a larger 6.7-inch display (up from 6.5 inches), wireless charging support, and 8 GB of RAM (up from 6GB). It uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, which is slightly more powerful than last year's Dimensity 930. Plus, the Moto G Power's main camera now includes optical image stabilization (OIS), and the ultra-wide lens has been upgraded to 8MP.
Beyond these specs, the Moto G Power remains mostly unchanged. It still uses a 1080 x 2400 LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50MP f/1.8 main camera, and a 16MP selfie shooter. The headphone jack and microSD card slot are retained, as are the 5,000mAh battery and stereo speakers.
The cheaper Moto G also gets some love. Motorola gave the phone a slightly larger 6.6-inch display (up from 6.5 inches) and swapped in a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor. But that's about it—the 2024 Moto G continues to lack wireless charging and OIS, and it still uses just 4GB of RAM.
Interestingly, the new Moto G Power and Moto G both include NFC functionality for tap-to-pay. Realistically, the addition of NFC may be the biggest improvement over last year's models.
Note that Motorola also refreshed the $150 Moto G Play earlier this year. We're quite happy with Motorola's current device lineup, as the company's smartphones provide advanced features for a low price. However, it's worth noting that these ultra-affordable Motorola devices don't receive frequent software updates. If you need a phone that'll keep up formore than two or three years, it's best to spend a bit of extra money.
The 2024 Moto G Power launches on March 29th for $300. However, it'll be available at Cricket Wireless a week early. The cheaper Moto G 5G arrives for $200 on May 2nd but will go on sale at T-Mobile on March 21st. If you want to be alerted as these devices go on sale, join Motorola's mailing list.

Last year was an extraordinary year in the games industry to say the least, jam-packed with hugely anticipated AAA releases including Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, as well as comparative sleeper hits like Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2. This year, however, seems like it'll be comparatively quiet, and one prominent industry analyst is doubtful it'll be able to top the unprecedented games rush that was 2023 if it doesn't pull something out of the bag.
