Moto G10 Power First Impressions: Big Battery, Attractive Design

The new Motorola Moto G10 Power and Moto G30 mark the 10th generation of the company’s G-series. You can read about our first impressions of the Moto G30 right here, and as for this article, we’ll be focusing on the Moto G10 Power. The highlight of this smartphone is its massive 6,000mAh battery. Not only that, Motorola also bundles a 20W fast charger in the box, which isn’t something we see too often at its asking price of Rs. 9,999. It’s time to see how good a first impression this phone manages to make on me.

The Moto G10 Power is a fairly large phone, once you take it out of the deceptively compact packaging. The large battery is definitely felt in its weight (220g) and thickness (9.89mm). The Aurora Grey colour that I got looks interesting, but I think the Breeze Blue trim will look more appealing to many people. The back of the all-plastic body has a wavy pattern, which gives the phone some character and also aids in handling it.

The buttons on the left are a bit soft and not very clicky. You get a dedicated Google Assistant button above the volume rocker, which is a bit out of reach. Perhaps placing it on the opposite side would have been more ergonomic. One feature that isn’t often found in entry-level smartphones is an IP rating. The Moto G10 Power is IP52 rated against water damage, which is good to see. The phone has a USB Type-C port at the bottom and a headphone jack on the top.
