This is a device that prioritizes battery capacity and affordability. The question is did Motorola sacrifice good quality performance just to make the Moto G10 Power affordable? We’ll find out in this review, let’s dive in.
Design
Motorola did not disappoint in the design of the Moto G10 Power even though it is a budget phone. The device features a 6.5-inch display that makes comfortable one-handed use, however, the phone is quite heavy because of the hefty 6,000mAh battery it packs.
The entire phone except for the screen is made of plastic but it does not feel as such because of its quality design. The device also features a 720p display and does not support HD viewing which is very disappointing.
Software and Performance
The Moto G10 Power is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 460 SoC which is less powerful than what is obtainable in its rivals even at a lower price. Even the predecessor, Moto G9 Power packs the Snapdragon 669 which is higher. The phone runs Android 11 and also has an IP52 rating for water and dust resistance.

Navigating the Interface happens quite smoothly as a result of the clean UI however, the device cannot be said to be so fast. But, you’ll get used to the speed with use. It features the Gaming Mode which makes it comfortable for gaming. The device does not heat up but heavy gaming may get it warm.
Cameras
The device has a quad-camera setup; a 48MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide camera, 2MP depth sensor, and 2MP macro camera. There’s also an 8MP selfie camera. The camera quality is quite decent; daylight shots reveal good details with little noise. Images are clear, sharp, and colorful.

The ultra-wide camera also produces good image quality although the main camera is much better, it is still useful. Portrait shots look good with the depth sensor.
In low light, the main camera still does a good job at capturing good images although not as clear and sharp as with better lighting.
The ultra-wide and the macro camera produce low-quality images in low lighting and at night. Video recording captures up to 1080p 60fps video with the main camera. The ultra-wide camera can shoot up to 30fps.
Battery
The main feature of the Moto G10 Power is the gigantic and powerful 6000mAh battery. This is the major reason for any buyer to get this device. It also offers 20W fast charging, which is completely amazing. With this device, you’ll probably never have to worry about running out of juice and you’ll get to enjoy a fantastic battery life.

It lasts over two days with even with heavy use and rigorous HD streaming, it lasts over 25 hours. The charging speed is also excellent as it goes from zero to 100% in a little over 2 hours.
Verdict
The hallmark of the Moto G10 Power is the hefty battery is packs, in this aspect, no other phone of this price and even the premium phones comes close to it. However, every other function is pretty much ordinary. The performance, software, and camera are the standard that’s obtainable in any other budget phone out there. If you’ll into huge batteries, then I recommend the Motorola Moto G10 Power.
