Moto G Power (2020) is Surprisingly Good!

I cracked the screen on my 17 month old Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 at work the other day. I needed a new phone quickly so ordering another cheap Chinese phone from Xiaomi (or Huawei Honor etc) to Canada probably wasn't going to happen this time. But what about Motorola? They're kinda cheap and Chinese! Motorola is now owned by Lenovo and makes basic phones that stick close to the stock Android formula.

The phone is a thicc boi. But that's because it's housing a giant 5 Amp hour battery that boasts 3 days of battery life! This is the phones main selling point hence the "power" moniker in the name. Otherwise it has decent specs for the price and I was pleasantly surprised by the software experience. What little Moto software is on here isn't too bad. The screen is nice to look at, the speakers are loud (louder than my Redmi Note 5 for sure) and it still has a headphone jack! The biggest downfall is the camera. Sure it's got multiple lenses for macro and wide-angle, shoots 4K video, has HDR and image stabilization. But they aren't the sharpest out there and the color rendering isn't great. Seems annoyingly slow too. There are certainly other phones in this price range that have better cameras.

Don't buy this phone if you want a decent camera but otherwise if you aren't a power user, aren't playing games or doing massive amounts of multi-tasking on your phone it might be a great option if you're looking for a new budget phone ($200-250 USD)
