Say hello to the ‘Made for US’ Moto G Power (2025), which is now on sale for $300 in its base 8/128GB trim.
The phone ships with a USB-C cable in a plain cardboard (and unscented) box. Ours is the Slate Grey model – much more slate than grey.
The Moto G Power (2025) has a pleasant vegan leather finish on the back, not unlike the Edge 50 Neo, which we reviewed a few months ago.
We like the vegan leather – it’s a grippy finish that doesn’t attract fingerprints. In contrast, the sides of the Moto G Power (2025) are matte plastic that’s a bit slippery.
The 2025 model’s display has grown by 0.1 inches to 6.8-inches. Its specs are quite similar – 120Hz IPS LCD with a 1080p resolution. It’s a good-looking display, though OLED would’ve obviously been better.
Software-wise, the Moto G Power (2025) runs Android 15 with Motorola’s light skin on top. The 6nm Dimensity 6300 chip is more of a sidestep than an outright upgrade to the 6nm Dimensity 7020 of this phone’s predecessor. The RAM has the same 8GB capacity as last year, as is the battery and charging speed – 5,000mAh with 30W wired and 15W wireless.
What has gotten better is the phone’s build. Whereas the 2024 Moto G Power has a “water-repellent design”, this year’s Moto G Power is rated IP68/IP69 for dust and water protection, and is MIL-STD-810H compliant for fall resistance. Stay tuned for our full review of the Moto G Power (2025)!
