Motorola has expanded its Power-series lineup in India by launching the Moto G57 Power, a smartphone made for users who need long battery life, solid performance, and reliable camera quality at a budget-friendly price. The device packs in a big 7,000mAh battery, a high-refresh-rate 120Hz display, and a premium 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor — the things which are rarely found in this price category together. With a starting effective price of ₹12,999, the Moto G57 Power shapes up to be one of the strongest contenders under ₹15,000.
In this blog, let’s dive into everything that this new smartphone offers in terms of design, performance, camera technology, software experience, and whether it is worth the price.
Premium Design Meets Rugged Durability
Motorola has given the G57 Power a refreshing design with vegan leather back panels, hinged on Pantone-validated colorways in Regatta, Fluidity, and Corsair. The soft-touch feel, combined with the dual-tone finish, gives this device a more premium look and feel for the price.
Durability is another strong high point: the phone boasts an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance and further comes with MIL-STD-810H certification, which means it will handle unexpected drops, vibrations, and rough usage way better than your average budget phone.
At 210g, the phone is a bit heavier, thanks mostly to the giant battery, but the curved back helps with a comfortable in-hand feel.
A Bright and Smooth Display
For this purpose, Moto G57 Power comes with a 6.72-inch Full HD+ LCD display, with up to a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, seamless gaming, and fluid UI animations. The display has a peak brightness of 1,050 nits and Gorilla Glass 7i protection, so it has considerable outdoor visibility and durability.
Adding more to the viewing experience with vivid and punchy colors is Motorola’s Display Colour Boost technology.

Powerful performance to meet everyday needs
At its heart, the Moto G57 Power operates on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chipset, fabricated on a 4nm architecture. This power-efficient processor will ensure smooth multitasking, reliable performance of apps, and decent gaming on titles such as BGMI, Free Fire, and Asphalt 9.
Paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage, the performance stays consistent and lag-free. There’s also support for up to 16GB Virtual RAM expansion for heavier work.
It also features a microSD card slot, allowing storage expansion up to 1TB, which is highly suitable for users who store lots of photos, videos, or offline media.
Camera System Built for Versatility
The major highlight here is the 50MP Sony LYT-600 primary camera on the G57 Power, featuring OIS. This sensor can click crisp and detailed images with very accurate colors, something that feels particularly great in daylight. OIS helps stabilize low-light shots, reducing blur and noise.
An 8MP ultrawide lens adds versatility for landscape and group photos with a 119.5° FoV, while AI enhancement features such as Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and Portrait Light offer improved creativity and post-processing.
On the front, the 8MP selfie camera does a decent job for casual, social-media shots and video calls.
Battery Beast: 7,000mAh
This is where the Moto G57 Power truly shines. The massive 7,000mAh silicon-carbon battery easily delivers 2–3 days of usage on a single charge. Whether you game, binge YouTube, or use heavy social apps, the endurance is unmatched in the segment.
The phone supports 33W TurboPower charging, not the fastest but balanced for better battery health.
Software & Updates
Motorola equips the device with Android 16 out-of-the-box for a clean, bloatware-free user experience. Other features that come in handy include Family Space 3.0, Smart Connect, and Moto AI.
Still, the brand promises only 1 major OS update and 3 years of security patches, which may be a slight drawback for long-term users.
Verdict: Worth buying or not?
If you are looking for a smartphone that offers excellent battery life, a good 50MP Sony camera, clean software, and a solid 120Hz display, the Moto G57 Power easily is one of the best choices under ₹15,000. While the charging speed and software update commitment could have been better, the overall package feels well-balanced and value-packed.
