Moto G06 Power India Launch Date
Alright, so here's the thing - I've been keeping tabs on Motorola's latest budget offerings, and honestly? The Moto G06 Power has been on my radar ever since it launched globally last month. And now, finally, it's making its way to India tomorrow (October 7th) at 12 PM sharp via Flipkart.
Let's just cut to the chase - this phone is all about that battery life, and boy does it deliver.
That 7000mAh Battery is No Joke
Okay, so the star of the show here is clearly that whopping 7000mAh battery. I mean, when's the last time you saw a budget phone pack this much juice? Motorola's claiming it can last up to 65 hours on a single charge, which honestly sounds almost too good to be true. But if it even gets close to that, we're talking about a phone that could easily go 2-3 days without needing a plug.
Sure, the 18W charging isn't exactly blazing fast by today's standards, but when you've got a battery this massive, you're probably not gonna be charging it that often anyway.
The Display is Pretty Decent for the Price
The 6.88-inch HD+ LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate is actually quite nice for what you're paying. Yeah, it's not Full HD, but honestly? For scrolling through social media and watching YouTube, it should be perfectly fine. Plus, they've thrown in Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection, which is always appreciated on budget phones.
The water-drop notch design feels a bit dated compared to the punch-hole displays we're seeing everywhere, but hey - it's all about those cost cuts in this price segment.
Performance Should Handle Daily Tasks Just Fine
Under the hood, there's the MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme processor paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage. Now, don't expect this to be a gaming powerhouse, but for your typical WhatsApp, Instagram, and light multitasking? Should be smooth enough.
The phone runs Android 15 out of the box, which is actually pretty impressive - getting the latest Android on a budget device right from launch.
Camera Setup is What You'd Expect
The 50MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture should capture decent shots in good lighting. There's also an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies. Nothing groundbreaking here, but for the price point, it should get the job done.
Pricing Could Make or Break This Phone
Here's where things get interesting. Early reports suggest the base 4GB + 64GB variant might be priced around ₹7,999-8,000. If Motorola nails that price point, this could be a really compelling option.
However, some leaks are suggesting it might start closer to ₹9,999, which... eh, that's pushing it. At ₹10K, you start looking at 5G phones, and that's a tough sell when you're offering 4G-only connectivity.
The Build Quality Sounds Premium for the Segment
I gotta admit, the vegan leather design sounds pretty nice. It's got an IP64 rating for dust and splash resistance, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack - which, let's be honest, is becoming rarer these days.
The side-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock should cover your security needs just fine.
Should You Buy It?
Look, if you're someone who's constantly running out of battery and you're tired of carrying power banks everywhere, the Moto G06 Power might just be your savior. That 7000mAh battery alone could justify the purchase for many people.
But here's my take - if it launches at ₹7,999, it's a solid buy. Push it to ₹9,999 or above, and you might want to consider 5G alternatives. The lack of 5G connectivity might not matter today, but it's something to think about for future-proofing.
The phone goes live tomorrow on Flipkart, so we'll know the exact pricing soon enough. If you're in the market for a reliable, long-lasting budget phone and don't mind sticking with 4G for now, this one's definitely worth considering.
