Motorola’s latest budget phone, the Moto G Power 2026, is now available in the US for $299.99 on the company’s website. Announced last month, this new model stands out with a bigger battery than last year’s model that can last up to 49 hours on a single charge.

The Moto G Power 2026 features a 6.8-inch FHD+ display that refreshes at 120Hz, making it a solid option for budget-conscious mobile gamers. Under the hood, it packs MediaTek’s mid-range Dimensity 6300 chipset, so while it should handle everyday tasks smoothly, performance-heavy games may push it to its limits.

The SoC is paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of onboard UFS 2.2 storage, and it even features a microSD card slot that supports cards up to 1TB. On the camera front, the new Moto G Power sports a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide camera, along with an ambient light sensor.

Durability is covered with Gorilla Glass 7i on the display an IP68/69 rating for dust and water resistance, plus MIL-STD-810H certification. Other notable features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, which has become sort of a novelty these days, NFC support, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and 30W wired charging support. On the software front, the device runs Android 16 out of the box.

The Moto G Power 2026 is available in two colorways: Pantone Pure Cashmere and Pantone Evening Blue. You can buy it unlocked from Motorola’s website, Amazon, and Best Buy, but if you’re committed to a particular carrier, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. Motorola says the device will be available through Cricket Wireless, Tracfone, Visible, Total Wireless, Straight Talk, Simple Mobile, and AT&T in the coming months.
