Moto G Power 5G 2024 review: Two steps forward, one step back

Motorola is stepping up its game with the Moto G Power 5G 2024.

When it comes to the Moto G lineup, Motorola usually reserves this basic feature for the Stylus phones, so to see it on the Power was a nice surprise as it finally lets you take advantage of contactless payments with Google Wallet. As is often the case with Motorola's lower-end phones, the device features a water-repellent design, meaning it can only withstand "moderate exposure to water such as accidental spills, splashes, or light rain." As for the software, it's nice that Motorola lets you opt out of much of its bloatware when setting up the phone, but the inclusion of Glance is a questionable one, throwing content like news headlines onto your lock screen.
