Moto G Power 2026 launched with a 120Hz LCD screen and a big battery all for under $300

Motorola has launched the Moto G Power 2026. This handset comes with a couple of ports that modern phones have since abandoned. It also emphasizes comfort and long usage.

While many brands chase thin looks and OLED screens, this model takes a different path. Its target is users who care about the screen. Those who want something calm on their eyes. If you need a big battery and a pretty budget phone, this device may also be for you.

The Moto G Power 2026 uses a 120Hz LCD screen instead of OLED. This choice matters for users who feel eye strain at night. LCD screens do not rely on PWM flicker, which can tire the eyes in low light.

The high refresh rate helps keep scrolling and swiping smooth. Text moves clean, and basic tasks feel fast. While black tones are not as deep as OLED, many users will value comfort over looks.

This screen choice is now rare, which gives the phone a clear role. It serves users who read a lot, watch long clips, or use their phone for hours each day.

Motorola keeps two ports that many brands have dropped. The handset has a 3.5mm audio jack and a Micro SD card slot. This lets users use wired headsets with no lag or charge needs.

The SD slot gives cheap space growth for photos, clips, and files. This helps users who store media on the phone and want to avoid cloud fees.

At launch, the device comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage. With SD cards, users can grow that space at a low cost. This mix fits users who want control and value over flash looks.

On the back, the phone packs a 50MP main cam, an 8MP wide cam, and a macro cam. The front cam is 32MP. Photo use should suit daily needs like chats, calls, and social posts.

Video is capped at 1080p at 60 fps. There is no 4K mode. This shows Motorola aims this phone at simple use, not pro video fans.

Battery life is a key win. The phone has a 5200 mAh cell, a small rise from last year. It supports 30W wired charge via USB-C. This should give full-day use with ease.

The Moto G Power 2026 will go on sale in the US on January 8. The price is set at 299.99 dollars. For users who want eye ease, long battery life, and real ports, this phone fills a rare spot in the market.
