Motorola Moto G9 Power Review
Highlights

- The expected price of the Moto G9 Power would be around 17,000 INR or $ 230.
Design and Display
About the design of the Motorola G9 Power, the back is simple plastic, but the unique textured color makes it quite attractive and unique. A fingerprint sensor in moto g9 power is present at the rear. A perforated configuration, even in this budget segment, is quite appreciable, while the chin can be a little thinner. A large 6.8 inches LCD is provided, but as it is only an HD screen, the screen’s sharpness is not up to par.
Memory and Internal
Moving towards the internal specifications of the Moto G9 Power, the satisfactory Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SOC and octa-core processor along with 4 GB of RAM should be sufficient to perform medium tasks, but multitasking can be fraught with complications. The very capable Adreno 610 should be good enough for average gaming performance in medium configurations.
Huge 128 GB storage is provided, which can be expanded up to 1 TB via a hybrid SIM slot. Discussing their software, the latest Android 10 OS software, along with Motorola’s stock UI, will make your user experience fluent and bloatware-free.
Camera
The Square shape triple-camera module on the back of the Moto G9 Power has an incredible 64 MP primary snapper along with the 2 MP Macro and 2MP Depth sensors with an LED flash, but unfortunately, no ultra-wide lens is provided.
For impressive selfies and video calls, a 16 MP front-facing camera will be of great use. Full HD recording can be done with the front and rear cameras.
Battery and Others
You shouldn’t worry about frequent charging on the Moto G9 Power, as Motorola provided an extraordinarily large 6000 mAh battery, which can be charged with a 20 W fast charger that supports a type C USB port.
Going to the sound department, both the 3.5mm headphone and speakers are provided along with rear-mounted fingerprint, gyro, proximity, and accelerometer sensors. But there are no wireless charging and gorilla glass protection.
