- Motorola’s upcoming Moto G Power 5G (2024) has gone largely under the radar, with only a few notable leaks coming to light.
- Now, a new leak claims to show off two new colorways of the Moto G Power 5G (2024), called Orchid Tint and Outer Space.
- Since last year’s Moto G Power 5G was released in April 2023, it’s reasonable to assume that the Moto G Power 5G (2024) could launch within a few weeks.
Motorola has a strong presence in the ultra-cheap smartphone market, with phones like the Moto G Power 5G offering basic features for just a few hundred dollars. This year’s iteration, the Moto G Power 5G (2024), is expected to be released in a few weeks. Ahead of its imminent launch, MSPowerUser claims to have exclusive renders of a new colorway of Motorola’s budget smartphone.
If the renders are accurate, Motorola will release the Moto G Power 5G (2024) in two colors: Orchid Hue and Outer Space. This would follow Motorola’s trend of offering budget phones in one light and one dark colour. Last year’s Moto G Power 5G (2023) came in Mineral Black and Brilliant White.
The Orchid shade is a light shade that also looks like it has some pinkish undertones. This would certainly explain the “Orchid” naming scheme. However, based on the renders, the pink colorway appears to be quite muted. From a distance, it may look typically white or light gray.
Outer Space looks to be a pretty standard black colorway, at least judging by the renders. You might think that Motorola adding some color to the Bright White option would mean some changes to Mineral Black too. By all appearances, “Outer Space” looks to be Motorola’s standard black color and gives the Moto G Power 5G (2024) a new name.
Color aside, we do know a lot more about the Moto G Power (2024) thanks to a leak from November 2023. Motorola’s smartphones this year may switch to a flat-back design. There is a large chin at the bottom of the display, but the display size is said to have been increased to 6.7 inches.
MSPowerUser’s renders also suggest that the Moto G Power (2024) will get 30W fast charging support, up from the 10W of the Moto G Power (2023). Apart from this, many of the specifications of the Moto G Power (2024) remain a mystery.
However, the budget smartphone is likely to stick to similar pricing as the Moto G Power (2023). The phone retails for $300, and its killer feature is multi-day battery life. Given the Moto G Power (2024)’s upgraded charging specs — and, of course, name — battery life may once again become a key feature.
Motorola launched the Moto G Power (2023) in April last year, so the launch of the Moto G Power (2024) might not be too far away.
