Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2024)

The Motorola Moto G Power 5G (2024) has a non-folding, standard smartphone form factor measuring 167.2 x 76.4 x 8.5 mm and weighing 201 g, with a total volume of 108.58 cm³. A notable aspect of its build is the IP67 rating, which certifies the device as waterproof against temporary submersion. It does not feature a rugged construction, so while the IP67 protection offers meaningful resistance to water and dust, the chassis itself is not built to withstand harsher physical conditions.

The display on this device is a 6.7″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a pixel density of 393 ppi, delivering a sharp and detailed image across its large panel. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother motion during scrolling and everyday use. The screen does not include branded damage-resistant glass, an Always-On Display mode, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen present on the device.

This device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7020, a 6 nm chipset with an 8-thread CPU running at 2 x 2.2 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz, paired with 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM at 2750 MHz and 128GB of internal storage, with a maximum supported memory of 16GB. The SoC integrates an IMG BXM 8 256 GPU clocked at 900 MHz, supporting DirectX 12 and OpenCL 2 with 18 shading units, and includes integrated LTE. The chipset employs big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) and multithreading, and carries an NX bit for hardware-level security, with a thermal design power of 7W. Benchmark results place it at 455,400 on AnTuTu, 884 single-core and 2,291 multi-core on Geekbench 6, and 690 single-core and 1,890 multi-core on Geekbench 5, while the platform fully supports 64-bit processing.

The rear camera system is a dual-lens setup combining a 50 MP sensor at f/2.2 and an 8 MP sensor at f/1.8, both backed by a CMOS sensor and optical image stabilization, with no back-illuminated sensor present. Focusing options include phase-detection autofocus and touch autofocus for stills, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while manual shutter speed is not available. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with slow-motion recording supported but no HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording capability. Additional shooting modes include HDR, burst mode, panorama, and timelapse, while 360° panorama and RAW capture are not supported. The rear flash consists of a single LED unit without dual-tone or RGB configurations. On the front, a 16 MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.4 in a standard position above the display, without a front-facing flash or under-display placement, and 3D photo and video recording is not available on either camera.

The device runs on Android 14, an open-source platform that supports multi-user operation, voice commands, offline voice recognition, on-device machine learning, and device tracking. Privacy features are well-represented, including clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. Customization options span dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, customizable notifications, and widget support, while focus modes and app offloading are not available. Everyday usability is further supported by a media picker, full-page scrolling screenshots, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, sharing intents, a child lock, battery health check, an extra dim mode, Live Text, and the ability to play games while they download. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not supported, and Wi-Fi password sharing and Quick Start are also absent from the feature set.

The device houses a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a built-in level indicator, and a charger is included in the box. Wired fast charging is supported at 30W, while wireless charging is also available at up to 15W, though reverse wireless charging is not offered.

On the audio side, the device includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, covering the essentials for both wired listening and built-in audio output. There is no radio tuner, and none of the advanced Bluetooth audio codecs — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC — are supported.

The device supports 5G connectivity alongside a dual-SIM configuration, Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Bluetooth 5.3, with a maximum download speed of 2770 MBits/s. It features a USB Type-C port operating at USB 2.0, NFC, and an external memory slot for expandable storage. For biometric security, a fingerprint scanner is present, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included, and no stylus is bundled with the device. The sensor suite covers a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS, and Galileo satellite navigation, though a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and motion or optical tracking are all absent. HDMI output, DLNA certification, ANT+ support, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, and a built-in projector are likewise not part of the feature set.

The device includes a video light, which can be used as a continuous light source during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
