Sizometry Analysis
Overall Score
7.0
out of 10
A sensible $300 Hello UI durability phone with 5200mAh nearly two-day battery, IP68/IP69, FHD+ 8GB package, and Android 16 — held back by removed wireless charging, unchanged Dimensity 6300, incremental same-body refresh, LCD limits, and two-year OS updates.
Category scores
Camera
6.0
50MP main and ultrawide repeat 2025 adequacy; 32MP selfie is the modest upgrade.

6.0
Identical 208 g and 77.1 mm footprint — same one-handed limits as 2025.

Weaknesses
- 15W wireless removed — step backward from 2025
- Same Dimensity 6300 and 208 g body — incremental refresh

- Play 2026 and older Power owners stepping up to FHD+ IP69 tier
- Durability buyers who charge by cable and prioritize 5200mAh
- US shoppers needing rare IP69 budget phone at promo pricing
- Users who skipped wireless on 2025 Power already

- Performance upgraders expecting new silicon
Upgrade recommendation
Current device: Moto G Play 2026 or Power 2023 and older
Recommendation: Strongly recommendedNotes: FHD+, 8GB, IP69, and 5200mAh address clear tier and durability gaps.
Current device: Moto G Power 2025 owners
Recommendation: Probably unnecessaryNotes: 5200mAh and selfie help; wireless removal hurts — most should stay on 2025.
Current device: moto g (2026) HD+ shoppers
Recommendation: Worth consideringNotes: Power wins FHD+, RAM, and sealing for ~$100 more when promo pricing applies.
Current device: Galaxy A17 5G comparisons
Recommendation: Depends on prioritiesNotes: Power wins IP69 and battery promos; Samsung wins AMOLED and update marketing.
Current device: Wireless-charging 2025 Power users
Recommendation: Probably unnecessaryNotes: Keep 2025 or buy discounted stock — 2026 removes pad convenience.
