What the reviewers said

Tech Advisor UK

3/5Dec 4, 2025

A capable but unremarkable budget phone with solid basics, but it struggles to justify its price against stronger, longer-lasting rivals, including Motorola's own Power model.

  • Bright 120Hz display
  • Durable waterproof design
  • Clean Android interface
  • Good colour accuracy in photos
  • Under-display fingerprint reader
  • Uninspiring zoom
  • Annoying preinstalled apps
  • Smaller battery than Moto G86 Power
  • Limited gaming capability
  • Only four years of security patches
