The moto g24 Power is an affordable smartphone packed with features and is priced at a starting range of ₹8,999 for its 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. The specs and features look promising on paper offering more for the buck, especially Dolby stereo speakers, a large 6,000 mAh battery, and a huge 128 GB storage at this price point.
The highlights and features of the moto g24 Power include a 90 Hz display, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a large 6,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging, Android 14 out-of-the-box with MyUX, an IP52 rated dust and splash-resistant design, 4G connectivity, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It comes in two color variants – Glacier Blue, and Ink Blue which you can see in the images below.
The front side sports a 6.6-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a 90 Hz refresh rate and is powered by a 12nm MediaTek Helio G85 octa-core SoC with a 6,000 mAh battery supporting a 33W TurboPower fast charging. There are two RAM variants – it comes in 4 GB LPDDR4x RAM or 8 GB LPDDR4x RAM options with RAM Boost feature up to +8 GB extended RAM, and 128 GB eMMC 5.1 storage that is expandable via microSD card up to 1 TB.
Moving to the cameras, you can see the moto g24 Power is equipped with a 16 MP selfie camera which is an upgrade from the moto g24’s 8 MP camera, a dual camera setup on the rear side with a 50 MP Quad Pixel main camera paired with a 2 MP macro as secondary.
Moving to the buttons, ports, connectivity, and audio, the right side offers volume controls and a power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner while the left side has a dual 5G SIM tray that supports microSD card. The bottom has a USB Type-C port, loudspeakers (stereo), a 3.5 mm jack, and a microphone whereas the top has another microphone and Dolby Atmos branding. The smartphone offers Dolby Audio support for audio enhancements and also stereo loudspeakers for louder and better sound.
The moto g24 Power also runs the Android 14 operating system with MyUX. The interface doesn’t come with moto additions and perks including moto Gestures, moto Secure, ThinkShield for Mobile, Family Space, as we saw on its upper end sibling moto g34 5G. You also get a near-stock interface for a clean Android experience with very minimal pre-installed apps while the brand claims to offer three years of security updates which is good.
