Motorola has just announced several new budget smartphones that will be released in the near future. These are updates to the popular Moto G Power and Moto 5 5G phones. The upcoming handhelds won’t reinvent the wheel as they are iterative updates, but there are some nice specs worth sharing.
The 2024 Moto G Power has a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, and a 50MP camera system with image stabilization technology. There’s a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chipset, 128GB internal storage (with microSD slot), 8GB RAM, 5G connectivity, and a 5000mAh battery with 30W fast charging. When it comes to streaming, light gaming, and web browsing, this one sure gets the job done.
The new Moto G Power even comes with a fingerprint-resistant back made from vegan leather, which the company says offers “a stunning premium design and comfortable feel.” The phone will be available first on Cricket on March 22, with the unlocked version hitting traditional retailers on March 29. Price is $300.
The Moto G 5G features a slightly smaller 6.6-inch 120Hz display, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, and a 50MP camera system with a macro lens. As the name suggests, this is a 5G-enabled phone with a Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 processor and 4GB of RAM. Like G Power, it is equipped with a 5000mAh battery and supports fast charging. It comes with 128GB of internal storage but also has an expandable microSD slot.
The updated Moto G 5G will be available on T-Mobile and Metro on March 21, with wider availability starting on May 2. Priced at only $200. Motorola also recently released one, priced at $150. Company determined.
