What Mobile | Stephen Watson

Overall, If your looking for a phone with a great battery you will not be disappointed with 17 hours of battery even with Wi-Fi switched on. The cameras are also very good and offer value for money.

Neowin | Rich Woods

The Moto G series really isn't about providing more value than the next guy that's selling a phone at the same price anymore. It's about specific pain points, and if the pain point that the device solves isn't yours, Motorola probably has another one to fill that gap.

The Moto G8 Power is a solid budget phone that performs better than its price would suggest.

Trusted Reviews | Peter Phelps

If you've got a budget then this a great choice, it's good across the board, with an excellent battery, and a good screen. The camera is decent and very versatile, while performance matches that of other phones in the same price bracket.

PC Mag | Steven Winkelman

Solid performance, multi-day battery life, and a gorgeous 6.4-inch display make the Moto G Power the best budget-friendly phone you can buy right now.

The phone really stands out in the battery department, offering enough endurance for up to three days of use.

The Verge | Cameron Faulkner

... if you can't spend more than the Moto G Stylus or G Power cost, or simply don't want to spend more, you currently won't be able to find a more well-rounded phone at this price.

Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe

If you're shopping on a budget: the Moto G8 Power is the class-leading affordable phone with an immense battery. It improves upon the G7 in most departments - screen, design, storage - with its only real lackings being no NFC and slow Wi-Fi.

Expert Reviews | Alan Martin

It's a good phone for the price, but just like the G8 Plus, its main difficulty lies in the strength of the competition. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T is cheaper and performs just as well in most areas. It has a weaker battery life, and misses the telephoto lens (but still has four others to choose from), but it's probably a better buy overall.

Stuff | Chris Barraclough

While the Moto G8 Power isn't quite as impressive or affordable as its predecessor, and somewhat eclipsed by the G8 Plus, it's still well worth considering if battery life is a priority.

The Motorola Moto G8 Power will particularly convince people with its battery life capabilities.

phoneArena | Eugene Jeong

Last year's Moto G Power was lauded for its supreme battery life and excellent value. This year, the model received a refresh, including a slightly lower price point...but the feeling that it's a step back makes it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend.

CNET | Patrick Holland

The Power's a better all-around phone, but if you're into taking photos on your phone, the Pixel 3A deserves your consideration.

Tech.co | Tom Fogden

The Motorola G Power is perfect if you need a long battery life. However, if you need a phone with a brilliant screen, outstanding cameras, or top-notch performance, you might be disappointed. Still, this is a very strong Android phone given its incredibly low price tag.

Digital Trends | Matthew S. Smith

The Moto G Power is a fine phone sold at an obtainable price, but it's niche by nature. I don't think the crossover between "power users who need multiday battery life" and "budget phone buyers" is broad.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
