Motorola has announced the latest version of its budget-friendly Moto G Power smartphone, which retains the $ 199.99 starting price and three-day battery life, but with further camera, display and spec improvements.

The new Moto G Power (which I’m referring to the 2022 model for reasons of sanity, especially considering it’s due out in the “next few months”) has a lot in common with the company’s previous model released earlier this year. However, the new model appears to improve most aspects of the device in one way or another.

The screen is now slightly smaller, at 6.5 inches instead of 6.6 inches, but adds a faster 90Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. RAM was increased from 3GB to 4GB, and the two storage tiers doubled to 64GB and 128GB for $ 199.99 and $ 249.99, respectively.

Motorola has also added a new processor, switching from last year’s Snapdragon 662 processor to a MediaTek Helio G37, which is expected to deliver better performance and energy efficiency. The star of the spec sheet, however, is still the massive 5,000mAh battery which, while maintaining the same size as last year, also promises three days of use on a single charge.

Finally, there’s the new camera system, which has a new 50-megapixel main sensor, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the back to add blurry bokeh effects to your shots. There is also an 8 megapixel front camera (which has been re-centered) with a new “Dual Capture” feature that allows you to shoot with both front and rear cameras at the same time.

Motorola isn’t announcing specific release information for the new Moto G Power right now. We know it will arrive first on T-Mobile’s Republic Wireless and Metro “in the coming months,” before becoming more widely available on Verizon, AT&T, Google Fi, Boost, Xfinity Mobile, US Cellular and Cricket. It will also be sold unlocked on Best Buy, Amazon, and Motorola’s website in early 2022.
