There are two main areas of improvement. First, the G Power motorcycle finally has an IP68 / 69 IP note, which means that it was tested to survive water jets and submersion. He will survive heavy rains and an accidental drop in the pool. These notes are often only available on more expensive phones, so it is good to have this peace of mind.
Second, Motorola promises two upgrades to the Android operating system as well as three years of security updates. It is a huge change since I complained about the bad update strategy in Motorola phones Four years ago. Be careful, it could be longer, but it’s a start. This means that for the first time, a Moto G telephone can take advantage of two operating system updates, which often include new features. Fortunately, the G Power 2025 motorcycle was launched with the current Android 15 version, so this phone will get Android 16 and Android 17, but don’t expect updates to come quickly.
Speaking of software, the user interface is clean and relatively painless. However, like previous motorcycle G telephones, there is a preinstalled Bloatware cargo. You can uninstall all this – and you will want to take the time to do it because it can save a little storage space.
The battery life is excellent – the 5,000 mAh cell lasts about two days with average use, although the days when I used the phone for navigation, music streaming and a lot of coils Instagram, it dropped around 30% at bedtime. My favorite advantage is that I can recharge it with a wireless charger, and this motorcycle G remains one of the few phones of less than $ 300 with the capacity.

The rest of the reasons why you may want this phone to other devices: he always has a headphone jack for all cord lovers; It keeps the microSD card slot – at the top of the 128 GB of integrated storage – if you often use a lot of storage; And the near field communication sensor (NFC) allows you to make contactless payments so that you can leave the wallet at home.
Beauty
One thing that Motorola has still retained is design. The texture in vegan leather (plastic alias) on the back mixed with the wonderful green color raises this simple phone in something more. He has character and stands out from the sea of boring black slabs, without forgetting that she feels much more pleasant to hold.
At the back, you will also find three cameras, although you are just an ambient light sensor. The main camera is a 50 megapixel sensor and it is joined by an 8 MP ultraid which also serves as a macro camera. The main shooter is decent. Activate Motorola’s night mode and this can take solid images in low light, although the results can be vague if you do not stay enough, and the colors are muddy. Skin tones and white balance are also problematic, but these are common problems with telephone cameras at this price range.
