In an era where premium smartphones routinely command four-figure price tags, Motorola continues to challenge the status quo with its latest budget-friendly offerings. The company's 2025 lineup refresh demonstrates that advanced features and durability don't necessarily require a premium price point.
Industry-Leading Durability Standards
The 2025 Moto G Power sets a new benchmark in the budget segment with its exceptional durability features. The device boasts both IP68 and IP69 ratings, matching the protection level of the recently launched OnePlus 13, but at just one-third of the price. This dual certification ensures protection against both water submersion and high-pressure water jets, while also providing complete dust resistance. The phone has successfully passed MIL-STD-810H certification, proving its resilience in harsh environments with survival capabilities in temperatures ranging from -4 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
