Moto G67 Power First Look
The Moto G67 Power is here to end your battery anxiety. Read our in-depth review of this new budget phone with a massive 7000mAh battery, 50MP Sony camera, 120Hz display, and Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, all for under ₹15,000. Motorola has been playing a strategic game in the Indian smartphone market. After a few quiet months, the brand is back with a new wave of devices, and their latest contender, the Moto G67 Power, is designed to make a massive impact. As the “Power” moniker suggests, this phone is all about stamina. In fact, it boasts the largest battery ever put in a Motorola smartphone, a colossal 7000mAh.
Priced aggressively under ₹15,000, the G67 Power aims to be more than just a portable power bank. It brings a premium vegan leather design, a high-refresh-rate display, a promising new Sony camera sensor, and a capable Snapdragon processor to the table. But in a market flooded with options, does the Moto G67 Power make the right compromises? Is it the new budget champion we’ve been waiting for?
We dive deep into this “first impressions” review to analyze every aspect of this new phone.
Price, Launch Date, and Unboxing
The Moto G67 Power has been launched in India at a very competitive price of ₹14,999. It is available for purchase on platforms like Flipkart.
Inside the box, Motorola provides the essentials and a bit more. You get:
- The Moto G67 Power smartphone
- A 33W Fast Charger (even though the phone supports 30W)
- A USB Type-A to Type-C cable
- SIM Ejector Tool
- Standard Documentation
Design and Build: Premium, Tough, and Surprisingly Manageable
The first thing you’ll notice when you pick up the G67 Power is its substance. This is not the typically thin and light Moto phone. However, weighing in at 209.6 grams, it’s remarkably well-balanced for a device packing a 7000mAh battery.
What truly sets it apart from its competitors is the vegan leather back. This one design choice instantly elevates the phone, making it feel far more premium than its price tag suggests. We have the “Cilantro” color, a unique and sophisticated shade, but it’s also available in two other attractive colors.
Motorola didn’t just focus on looks; they built this phone to last.
- Durability: The front is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i, a newer, tough glass from Corning.
- Military Standard: It is MIL-STD-810H certified, meaning it’s built to withstand harsh conditions, including drops, which was even demonstrated (bravely) in the review.
- IP Rating: The phone has an IP64 rating, making it resistant to dust and water splashes.
Around the frame, you’ll find a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack (a welcome sight!), stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning, and a USB-C port. The only minor disappointment here is the SIM tray: it’s a dual nano-SIM slot, but there is no support for a microSD card.
Display: A 120Hz Fast and Bright Panel
The Moto G67 Power features a large 6.7-inch IPS LCD display. While some may lament the lack of an AMOLED panel, this IPS screen is high-quality. Its headline feature is the 120Hz refresh rate, which makes everything from scrolling through social media to gaming feel incredibly smooth.
The display gets impressively bright, too, with a peak brightness of 1050 nits. This ensures that outdoor visibility, even in direct sunlight, shouldn’t be a problem. Bezels are reasonable for this price, with only a slightly more prominent chin at the bottom.
For media consumption, the phone supports Widevine L1 for full HD streaming and even includes features like SGS Eye Protection and a Display Color Boost mode to make videos look more vivid.
Performance: The Surprising Punch of Snapdragon 7s Gen 2
Under the hood, the Moto G67 Power is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset. This is a modern, efficient, and surprisingly potent processor for a sub-₹15k phone. The reviewer notes an impressive AnTuTu score of around 8.5 lakh (850,000), which places its performance in the same league as the Dimensity 7300.
Paired with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage, this phone is more than capable of handling daily tasks. Multitasking should be smooth, and you won’t face any major lags or stutters. This is the only configuration it’s available in, simplifying the choice for buyers.
For gamers, this setup can comfortably run titles like BGMII at 60fps. The phone also includes a gaming assistant to monitor performance and block notifications.
The Main Event: A 7000mAh Battery That Won’t Quit
This is the phone’s raison d’être. The 7000mAh battery is simply massive. For the vast majority of users, this translates to an easy two-day, and potentially even a three-day, battery life with moderate use. This completely eliminates “battery anxiety” and is a game-changer for heavy users, travelers, or anyone who doesn’t want to be tethered to a charger.
When you finally do need to charge, the phone supports 30W charging, and Motorola includes a 33W charger in the box. While not the fastest charging solution on the market, it’s a reasonable speed for topping up such a gigantic battery.
Cameras: A Surprisingly Capable System
Typically, the camera is the first place budget phones make compromises. However, the Moto G67 Power delivers a setup that is “quite good” for its price.
- Primary Camera: A 50MP main sensor, identified as the new Sony LTI 600. This is a modern, capable sensor that captures sharp and detailed photos in good lighting.
- Secondary Camera: An 8MP ultrawide sensor with autofocus. The inclusion of autofocus is a brilliant move. It not only allows for wide-angle shots but also enables high-quality macro photos and videos, making it far more useful than the 2MP macro sensors found on competing phones.
- Front Camera: A high-resolution 32MP selfie sensor.
The most shocking and impressive feature, however, is its video capability. The Moto G67 Power can shoot 4K 30fps video from all its cameras—the rear 50MP, the 8MP ultrawide, and the 32MP front camera. This is practically unheard of in the sub-₹15,000 segment and is a massive win for content creators.
The camera app is loaded with features like Pro mode, Night Vision, and Dual Video, and it also uses AI-based photo enhancement to improve your shots.
Software, Audio, and Connectivity
The phone runs on Motorola’s new Hello UI, which is based on Android 15. This is a departure from the brand’s famously clean, near-stock Android. The review notes that Hello UI includes some third-party apps and Glance on the lock screen during setup. While these can be uninstalled, it’s a “con” for those who loved Moto’s pure software experience. On the plus side, you still get Moto’s classic gestures and features like ThinkShield and Family Space, along with a promise of 3 years of security updates.
Audio is a strong point, thanks to stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning. Combined with the 3.5mm jack, the multimedia experience is solid.
Connectivity is also future-proof. You get support for Wi-Fi 6 and 11 5G bands. The only omissions are Bluetooth 5.1 (instead of 5.2 or 5.3), no IR blaster, and no NFC.

Final Verdict: Is the Moto G67 Power the New Budget King?
The Moto G67 Power is a phone that “punches above its weight”. For ₹14,999, the package it offers is incredibly compelling.
You should buy this phone if:
- Battery life is your number one priority. The 7000mAh battery is a true game-changer.
- You want a phone that feels premium and is built to last (Vegan leather, MIL-STD-810H).
- You are a vlogger or content creator on a budget. 4K video on all cameras is a killer feature.
- You want a fast, high-refresh-rate display and a solid multimedia experience (Stereo speakers, 3.5mm jack).
You might want to reconsider if:
- You are a software purist. The move to Hello UI with bloatware is a step back from clean Android.
- You need expandable storage. The lack of a microSD card slot is a significant omission.
- You rely on NFC for payments.
Ultimately, Motorola has made smart choices here. It focuses on the features that matter most to users in this segment: a phenomenal battery, a durable and premium design, and a surprisingly excellent camera system. The Moto G67 Power isn’t just a phone with a big battery; it’s one of the most well-rounded and high-value propositions in its class.
