      Motorola has released its latest budget-friendly phone, the Moto G Power 2026, for $299.99, available on the company’s website in the US. Unveiled last month, this model features a larger battery compared to last year's version, capable of lasting up to 49 hours on a single charge.

      The Moto G Power 2026 is equipped with a 6.8-inch FHD+ display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, making it an excellent choice for mobile gamers on a budget. It is powered by MediaTek’s mid-range Dimensity 6300 chipset, which should manage everyday tasks effortlessly, although demanding games may challenge its capabilities.

      The SoC is complemented by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. Additionally, it includes a microSD card slot that accommodates cards up to 1TB. In terms of photography, the new Moto G Power features a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and an ambient light sensor.

      Designed for durability, the Moto G Power 2026 includes Gorilla Glass 7i on the display, an IP68/69 rating for dust and water resistance, and MIL-STD-810H certification. Other key features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, which is becoming rare, NFC support, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and 30W wired charging. The device runs Android 16 right out of the box.

      The Moto G Power 2026 is offered in two colors: Pantone Pure Cashmere and Pantone Evening Blue. It can be purchased unlocked from Motorola’s website, Amazon, and Best Buy, though those seeking to buy through specific carriers will need to wait a little longer. Motorola indicates that it will soon be available via Cricket Wireless, Tracfone, Visible, Total Wireless, Straight Talk, Simple Mobile, and AT&T.
