MOTOROLA’S BIG-BATTERY BUDGET PHONE GETS 5G AND A PRICE HIKE

The 2023 version of Motorola’s all-about-battery-life Moto G Power trades some of that battery life for modern conveniences. In addition to 5G, a nicer screen and more powerful processor are on offer, so Moto’s battery claims aren’t as lofty this year, and the price is higher. While last year’s 128GB model sold for $249, this year’s edition starts at $299. Still, it might make for a budget phone that’s worth buying. Along with a huge 5,000mAh battery, the Motorola Moto G Power 5G includes a MediaTek Dimensity 930 processor with 4GB of RAM. By the looks of it, that should be a serious upgrade from the 4G-only Helio G37 chip in the 2022 Moto G Power. Naturally, there’s also 5G, which you might as well have on a new phone in 2023. This year’s Moto G Power offers a 1080p LCD with a 120Hz top refresh rate, which is a boost from the previous version’s 720p 90Hz screen. The extra resolution is welcome on such a big screen, and the bump to 120Hz should make motion and animations noticeably smoother.
