I recently had the opportunity to use the Motorola Moto G Power 2021 phone, and I must say, it has left quite an impression on me. This device excels in several aspects that make it a noteworthy contender in the mid-range smartphone market.
First and foremost, the battery life of the Moto G Power 2021 is truly impressive. The 5000mAh battery consistently lasted me well over a day of heavy usage, alleviating the constant need to search for a charger. This is a significant advantage for individuals who rely heavily on their phones throughout the day.
The device's performance is commendable as well. Powered by a Snapdragon processor, I found that apps opened swiftly and multitasking was relatively smooth. While it might not be the most powerful chipset on the market, it certainly holds its own in its price range.
One of the standout features of the Moto G Power 2021 is its camera setup. The triple-lens system captures detailed and vibrant photos in various lighting conditions. The dedicated macro lens was a pleasant surprise, allowing for impressive close-up shots. While not on par with flagship cameras, the camera system is more than adequate for everyday photography and social media sharing.
The display, while not OLED, offers vibrant colors and good sunlight visibility. It's a 1080p panel that's crisp and enjoyable for media consumption and general usage.
On the downside, the design of the phone is rather plain and lacks the premium feel that some higher-end devices offer. Additionally, the absence of NFC might disappoint users who rely on contactless payments.
In terms of software, the nearly stock Android experience is a definite plus. Motorola's commitment to providing a clean interface and timely updates is evident. The device runs on Android with minor additions that enhance the user experience without overwhelming it.
In conclusion, the Motorola Moto G Power 2021 is an impressive mid-range phone that excels in crucial areas like battery life, performance, and camera capabilities. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of flagship devices, it offers fantastic value for its price point. If you're looking for a reliable phone with great battery longevity and solid performance, the Moto G Power 2021 is certainly worth considering.

I have not owned a high end smart phone in several years so the reader must take that into consideration.
First, this phone is better in every way than a high end phone of ten years ago.
Second, the battery life is outstanding.
Third, the voice quality is very good.
Fourth, the screen is clear and large.
Fifth, coverage through TMobile is excellent.
Sixth, settings are easily manipulated.
OTOH:
I use the camera as an afterthought. My adult daughter uses her high end Apple phone's camera quite seriously. It is obvious that her camera and her technique are much better than mine. But I have no technique. My wife, using this phone, gets better photos than I. I am attaching a photo of the Austin skyline taken yesterday from south Austin.
Conclusion - this was a great buy for me, and would be for most people.

Only used this phone for a few weeks and so far it does exactly what I purchased it for "POWER". The battery last a little longer than my flagship Hauwei Mate 9 and Samsung Note 9 phones. I was skeptic about the size of the phone so to having a larger battery, but trust me it not bad at all especially with a phone case cover. The Camera is decent and the phone runs rather smooth. I purchased this phone to replace my daughter's galaxy S6 and the only complaint she have is that the screen is bigger than her small galaxy S6. I recommend this phone to a parent looking to get a phone for a kid or a person who travels a lot and don't want to spend a ton. You will be very pleased.

Decent phone if you're on a budget
Large screen
Large battery
Doesn't feel cheap
Good audio
Photos and videos are just about average quality for a budget phone
Only down side is that there's only 4gb of Ram

Very good phone with sharp photo resolution and big screen that displays everything in HD. The battery is phenomenal. A full battery lasts me up to 3 days without charging. The only downfall aboyt it is that it doesn't have wireless pay capability.

This is a solid phone and takes pretty good pictures. I got a Spigen tough armor case on and love it! The battery life here is also amazing. I was looking at this phone vs Blu and One Plus. Glad I went this direction and it's an easy recommendation for anyone looking for an android phone in this price range.

I was looking to replace my previous flagship device earlier in the year and ended up getting a good deal on a Motorola Ace 5G (2021) and this was my first experience with Motorola since I had a bright pink Moto Razr V3i back in the day. I was so taken by how well built the phone was, and how stable it was that I decided to buy my wife a G-Stylus (2021) and she felt the same way about hers. Given both positive experiences, I decided to give my parents back home overseas an upgrade for their aging devices and so I bought two of these G-Powers (2021).
I did the basic setup before shipping the devices, and they set up their customizations and preferences. My mom is in her 50's and my dad in his 60's, they both had no trouble whatsoever getting their devices the way they liked them. They both reported to me they much prefer their newer devices over their old ones, and both had stand out features.
For my mom, she works 6 days a week. She is a carer both residential, and also hired out by different care homes across the county. As such, she'll often do 24 hour work days with sleep in on site, so battery life is imperative. This device definitely performs, and leaves her old flagship device standing wondering what happened.
For my dad, his favourite part of the phone is the screen. It's bright, vibrant and large. It's built to a great quality. He also enjoys how fast the device is.
I bought these devices unlocked without activation, both activated and worked correctly with UK cell provider (3UK) on 5G.

I’m an iPhone user who needed a phone temporarily. I’m going to be honest, I’d rather use a 5-6 year old iPhone than this 2022 android. If you’re an android user though, this could be a decent budget device. Good battery…. Never lost service… not my thing.

I got it while it was on sale. Always a plus. I'm enjoying the bigger screen. Overall Motorola has been very good to me. The only drawback is that there is no screensaver that goes over the top. I have to wipe off my ears sweat. Small price to pay. A plus plus on the camera.
