Introduction
Welcome back to Smart Byte! Today, we’re diving deep into Motorola’s latest budget disruptor.
If you’ve been following the smartphone market lately, you know it’s a chaotic mess of "Pro," "Plus," and "Ultra" models that cost a kidney. But every now and then, a phone drops that reminds us why the budget segment is actually the most exciting place to be. Enter the Moto G57 Power.
Motorola has just launched this device in India (as of late November 2025), and it’s turning heads for two very loud reasons: a massive battery and a price tag that feels like a typo. I’ve spent some time digging into what makes this phone tick, and I’m here to give you the raw, unfiltered truth—no spec-sheet jargon without explanation, just real talk.
Is this the king of budget phones for 2025? Let’s find out.

First Impressions: It’s Thick, But It’s Chic
Let’s address the elephant in the room immediately. This phone packs a 7,000 mAh battery. Naturally, my first fear was that it would feel like carrying a brick.
Surprisingly, it’s not as bad as I feared. Weighing in at roughly 210g, it has a heft to it, but Motorola has used a clever vegan leather back (in colors like Pantone Regatta and Corsair) that adds grip and makes it feel premium rather than plastic-y. It doesn't slip out of your hand like a bar of soap, which is a huge win for clumsy people like me.
However, if you love sleek, featherlight phones that vanish into your pocket, you will notice this device. It’s built for utility, not for the runway.
Key Features & Specifications
Here is the breakdown of what you’re actually paying for.
1. The "Forever" Battery
- Spec: 7,000 mAh Silicon Carbon Battery
- Real World: This is the highlight. For a casual user (social media, WhatsApp, light browsing), you are easily looking at 2 to 3 days of usage on a single charge. Even for heavy users, killing this battery in one day is a challenge. It supports 33W charging, which isn't the fastest in the world—charging a 7,000mAh tank takes time—but the trade-off is worth it for the endurance.
2. Performance Firsts
- Spec: Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 Processor
- Real World: This is the world’s first phone with this specific chipset. It’s a 4nm processor, which means it’s efficient and runs cool. It handles daily multitasking breeze-free. Can you play high-end games? Yes, but don’t expect flagship frame rates. For the price, it’s snappy and reliable.
3. Display: The Controversial Choice
- Spec: 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD, 120Hz Refresh Rate
- Real World: Here is where budget cuts happen. It’s an LCD panel, not AMOLED. Blacks aren't pitch black, and colors don't pop as vibrantly as on a Samsung OLED. However, the 120Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling buttery smooth, and the brightness hits 1050 nits, which is surprisingly good for outdoor visibility.
4. Software: Clean and Future-Ready
- Spec: Android 16 out of the box
- Real World: Motorola continues to be the king of clean software. There’s almost no bloatware (unwanted junk apps). Getting Android 16 right out of the gate in a budget phone is rare and fantastic for longevity.
Camera Performance: Better Than Expected
The Setup:
- Main: 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor
- Ultra-wide: 8MP
- Selfie: 8MP
My Take: Usually, budget phones treat cameras as an afterthought. The Moto G57 Power surprises with the Sony LYT-600 sensor. In daylight, photos are crisp, with decent dynamic range. The "Moto AI" features help balance exposure nicely.
Low-light performance is usable but not magical—you will see some grain. The 8MP ultra-wide is handy for landscapes but loses detail if you zoom in. It’s a solid camera system for social media, but don't expect it to replace a DSLR.
Pros and Cons: The Honest Verdict
✅ The Good Stuff (Pros)
- Battery Life is Insane: 7,000mAh changes how you use your phone. You stop stressing about bringing a charger.
- Software Experience: Android 16 with Motorola’s clean "Hello UI" is a joy to use.
- Build Quality: IP64 water resistance and Gorilla Glass 7i are excellent durability features for a budget phone.
- Price: At an effective price of roughly ₹12,999, the value for money is undeniable.
❌ The Not-So-Good Stuff (Cons)
- Charging Speed: 33W feels slow for such a massive battery.
- No AMOLED: If you watch a lot of movies, you might miss the deep blacks of an OLED screen.
- Weight: It is heavier than the average phone; you will feel it in your pocket.
- Single Speaker: (Correction: It has stereo speakers, but they are budget-tuned).
Conclusion: Should You Buy It?
The Moto G57 Power isn't trying to be the flashiest phone in the room; it’s trying to be the most reliable.
If you are a student, a delivery partner, someone who travels long hours, or just a person tired of charging their phone twice a day, this phone is a no-brainer recommendation. It trades a flashy AMOLED screen for unmatched battery life and durability.
Final Verdict: It’s a workhorse, not a show pony. For under ₹15k, it’s one of the most practical investments you can make in 2025.

Q2: Does the Moto G57 Power come with a charger in the box?

Q3: How long does the 7,000mAh battery really last?

Q4: Is the Moto G57 Power good for gaming (BGMI/PUBG)?
Ans: It is decent for casual gaming. The Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 processor can handle games like BGMI at Smooth + Ultra settings. However, since it is a budget phone, don't expect flagship-level performance for competitive gaming. It plays well, but it's built more for battery life than pro gaming.
Q5: Does it have an AMOLED display?
Ans: No, the Moto G57 Power comes with a 6.72-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display. While it lacks the deep blacks of AMOLED, it is high quality with a 120Hz refresh rate and is bright enough for outdoor use (1050 nits).
