The Moto G Power 2026 has arrived for those of you who want a long-lasting new smartphone, but don’t have the budget to spring for the premium-priced OnePlus 15.
Motorola’s latest handset is boasting some seriously tempting battery life, with the firm claiming it can last up to 49 hours (that’s four days folks) on a single charge of its 5,200mAh battery.
While that’s not the biggest battery we’ve seen in a phone this year, the aforementioned OnePlus 15 has a 7,300mAh power pack for example, it is a 200mAh increase on the battery found in the G Power 2025, G Power 2024 and G Power 5G (2023).
Whether the new G Power can really last for up to 49 hours remains to be seen – you’ll need to wait for our in-depth review – but the claim will be an attractive one for prospective buyers, especially when you consider the $300 price tag as well.
It’s not all battery though, as the Moto G Power has a solid spec-sheet relative to its cost. There’s a 6.8-inch FHD+ display, and it has a 120Hz refresh rate, which will be music to the ears of mobile gamers, as well as those who want buttery-smooth scrolling.
A MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset is in charge of keeping things going, and it’s assisted by 8GB of RAM – which can be expanded to 24GB with Moto’s RAM Boost feature. There’s 128GB of built-in storage, and there’s a microSD slot too – somewhat of a rarity in today’s mobile landscape – with support for cards up to 1TB in size.
The G Power 2026 also packs Dolby Atmos-enhanced stereo speakers and hi-res audio support, while round the back you’ll find a 50MP AI-powered main camera, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide snapper and an ambient light sensor.
Motorola claims it should be able to withstand the rough and tumble of everyday life too, with “360-degree protection” against drops, scratches, and the elements, along with IP68/69 dust and underwater resistance.
You’ll be able to buy the new Moto G Power from January 8, for $299.99 in two colors; Pantone Evening Blue and Pantone Pure Cashmere. It’ll be available universally unlocked at Best Buy, Amazon.com, and motorola.com, plus it’ll also be stocked at Verizon.
In the coming months, the G Power 2026 will also be at Cricket Wireless, Tracfone, Visible, Total Wireless, Straight Talk, Simple Mobile and AT&T.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
