Design and Display

Subtle designs are pretty much the par for the course on smartphones with low price tags. The Moto Moto G Power 2021 falls in this category. Just like its predecessor we are offered with a smartphone design that sits in the non-flashy zone.

On the front of this Android phone, you will find a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display, which is pretty much the same size as last year. However, there is a reduction in resolution and density. Instead of the 1080p display and 399 PPI density we got last year, we are now being served with a 720 x 1600 resolution and a density of 266 PPI.

Moving on to the rear, we have a square camera module design, that seems to have drawn inspiration from the Huawei Mate 20. This rear camera module holds three cameras and an LED flash. Below the camera module is the Motorola emblem, which indicates its a Motorola smartphone.

Motorola G Power comes in two colour variants that include Flash Gray and Polar Silver, which could pretty much endup being a dilemma for enthusiasts who don’t fancy any of the colour options.
