Motorola’s new Moto G57 Power arrives in the highly competitive budget segment, but it immediately sets itself apart with a smart blend of efficiency, durability, and exceptional battery life. Rather than chasing premium specs, Motorola focuses on what budget users value most—long-lasting performance, a clean software experience, and dependable hardware that holds up in day-to-day use. With a massive 7000mAh battery, a smooth 120Hz display, and solid everyday performance, the Moto G57 Power proves that an affordable phone can still deliver a polished, well-rounded experience.
Design & Display: Durable Beauty with a 120 Hz Flow
Motorola sticks to its clean, practical design language but adds Pantone-backed flair with colours like Corsair, Fluidity, and Regatta, complemented by premium vegan leather finishes. Despite housing a massive 7000mAh battery, the phone remains surprisingly sleek at 8.60mm and 210g—noticeable, yet well-balanced.
The phone features a 6.72-inch FHD+ display with a fluid 120 Hz refresh rate. At 1080×2400 resolution and 391 ppi, the screen produces crisp visuals suitable for binge-watching or scrolling through social feeds. Gorilla Glass 7i protection and 3x better drop resistance, combined with IP64 water resistance, make this a rare mid-range device that genuinely feels ready for rough daily use.
Performance: Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 Makes Its Global Debut
The biggest talking point of the Moto G57 Power is the introduction of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor—making this the first smartphone in the world to ship with the new, efficiency-focused chipset. This alone elevates the device from being just another “big battery phone” to a significant marker of where mid-range silicon is headed.
In performance testing, the Moto G57 Power delivered encouraging results for its segment. On the Geekbench 6 test suite, it achieved a multi-core score of 2929, indicating smooth handling of everyday multitasking—whether switching between social apps, streaming, or managing background processes.
Complementing this, the phone scored 2956 in the 3DMark Wild Life benchmark, reflecting stable graphical performance suitable for casual to moderate gaming. Titles like Asphalt Legends, and Call of Duty Mobile run consistently on medium settings without major drops or overheating.
Paired with 8GB RAM (expandable up to 24GB with RAM Boost), the G57 Power manages memory well, keeping frequently used apps in standby without forced reloads. Storage is ample too, with 128GB onboard and expansion support up to 1TB—something content creators, photographers, and commuters who heavily download content will appreciate.
Stock Android 16 Experience
Motorola’s almost-stock approach to Android continues to feel refreshing. Running on Android 16, the G57 Power offers a clean UI with minimal bloat and smart additions like Circle to Search and Google Gemini integration. Android 16’s improvements are most noticeable in multitasking, notification management, and contextual intelligence. Whether it’s the adaptive suggestions or faster animations, the phone feels fluid even during heavy use.
Cameras: Reliable for Everyday Photography
The Moto G57 Power features a 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 triple-camera system, led by a 50MP primary sensor and supported by an 8MP 118-degree ultra-wide camera. On the front, an 8MP selfie shooter handles video calls and social content well. Both the front and rear primary cameras can record 2K video at 30fps, while the rear camera can also record 1080p Full HD video at 60fps.
In daylight, the 50MP sensor captures natural colours with solid detail, especially in close-ups and wide scenic shots. The dynamic range is commendable for a mid-range device, though low-light images display some softness—expected in this price segment. Selfies are social-media ready, delivering accurate skin tones and good dynamic range. Overall, while the camera system isn’t the headline feature, it remains reliable and consistent for everyday photography and casual videography.
Battery Life & Charging: The Star Attraction (7000mAh)
If the Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor brings efficiency, the massive 7000mAh battery leverages it perfectly. Motorola claims up to 60 hours of usage, and in testing, the phone comfortably lasted two full days of mixed use—texts, email, social apps, streaming, light gaming, and photography. Even power users can expect 1.5 days between charges. The 33W TurboPower charger helps in speedier charging.
In Conclusion
At INR 13,999, the Moto G57 Power delivers an extraordinarily well-balanced value proposition. Motorola has crafted a device that doesn’t chase gimmicks. Instead, it focuses on what truly matters to the modern user: reliability, efficiency, endurance, and a clean software experience. For commuters, students, creators on a budget, and users tired of carrying power banks, the Moto G57 Power is easily one of the smartest buys in its segment.
