Motorola is gearing up to launch the Moto G17 Power in India soon, a device poised to shake up the budget segment, likely priced around ₹15,000. It's expected to go head-to-head with popular choices like the Samsung Galaxy M17 5G and other contenders, promising a strong battery and capable performance for everyday users.
Under the hood, the Moto G17 Power packs the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme chipset, which should handle daily tasks and moderate gaming smoothly. The 5200 mAh battery is a significant highlight, promising all-day endurance even with heavy usage on networks like Jio or Airtel. We'll be looking closely at its 50MP main camera for daylight shots and the overall user experience with Android v15.
