The Pixel 4a 5G shot is darker and less colorful, but more balanced, and the details of each snowman are more visible. But check out that snowman in the middle of the shot - he's washed out, as the Moto G Power struggled with the shadows cast over the yard.

One of my neighbors has gone a little crazy with the holiday decorations, and I think the Moto G Power does a fine job capturing the scene, with a bright, vibrant image that shows off the different colored lights and allows the inflatables in the background to stand out. But I think it illustrates the sacrifices you sometimes make with picture quality by opting for a cheaper phone. For photo comparisons, I tested it against a Pixel 4a 5G - a tough challenge for the Moto G Power since Google's handset was one of the best camera phones on a budget until the Pixel 5a came along. That's not the worst thing in the world, as the older Moto G Power generally produced serviceable if not spectacular shots - certainly nothing you'd be embarrassed to post or share.įor the most part, the Moto G Power (2022) yields the good-not-great results of its predecessors, though this phone seemed to struggle a little more with color and tone than past Motorola camera phones.

On the 2022 model, Motorola has bumped the sensor on the main camera to 50MP (up from 48MP), but you still have the same macro camera and depth sensor that the last Moto G Power offered. Not much has changed on the camera front since the Moto G Power (2021). (For context, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G is brighter, at 485 nits.) As a consequence, on bright, sunny days, you're going to need to crank that display up to maximum brightness, and you'll still have a hard time making out details on the Moto G Power's panel.Īlso, like other phones in the Moto G family, Motorola has given this one a chunky bezel at the bottom of the display, which makes the 6.5-inch screen feel more cramped than it should be. With an average brightness of 407 nits, it's pretty dim. I only had a couple complaints about the display on the Moto G Power (2022). (The closer to zero, the more accurate the colors.) They're certainly accurate, as evidenced by the 0.23 Delta-E rating we recorded for the Moto G Power for context, the OnePlus Nord N200 had a 0.26 rating.

According to our tests, the Moto G Plus (2022) captured 94.6% of the sRGB color spectrum - the equally low-priced OnePlus Nord N200 5G registered 160.7% - but I thought the phone recreated those colors well. Steaming Moana on Disney Plus, I was struck by the purples, pinks, and oranges of the sky stretching across the shimmering Pacific Ocean the strands of Moana's hair blowing in the breeze were easy to spot, too. I enjoyed watching video on the phone as well. As a result, scrolling is a little bit smoother on the Moto G Power (2022) than on many rivals and its predecessors. Most phones in this price range stick with 60Hz.

Up front, the selfie camera is situated in a punch-hole cutout placed in the top-center of the phone's 6.5-inch LCD screen.Ībout that display: it defies the Moto G Power's budget phone roots by featuring vibrant colors and a 90Hz refresh rate. The rear camera array blends somewhat seamlessly into the back panel, and while the rear fingerprint sensor strays a little too close to the cameras - I prefer it down lower in the center of the phone's back - at least it's very responsive at unlocking the Moto G Power.
