Motorola's "Power" phones have one simple job: last a long time on a single charge. The new Moto G77 Power keeps that promise and adds a bit more too. It features a large 7000mAh battery, a 120Hz refresh rate display, a soft leather back, and an OIS-equipped 50MP camera for stable photos.

It's designed for the average consumer who's seeking a device that is simple to use and doesn't come with flag pricing. It is a very competitive price point. Is it really as good as it's described to be or just another "long battery life" phone? Let's find out.

An In-Depth Review on Motorola Moto G77 Power

Motorola Moto G77 Power is designed to be a go-anywhere device for everyday users looking for a phone that doesn't need a lot of pampering. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, has a massive 7000mAh battery and sports an unobtrusive vegan leather cover. It will discuss in detail its design, display, performance, cameras, battery life, price in Bangladesh, and value for all types of users.

Box Content

This is what you get inside the Motorola Moto G77 Power box:

  • Motorola Moto G77 Power Smartphone
  • 30W Charger
  • USB Type-C cable
  • SIM ejector tool
  • Silicone case
  • User manual

What's inside the box is the Moto G77 Power, a 30W fast charger, a universal USB Type-C cable, a SIM ejector and a simple user guide. Another thing that Motorola generally provides is a protective case, which means that you can begin using the phone safely after you've opened the box without having to purchase any additional accessories.

Design & Build Quality

The Moto G77 Power isn't trying hard enough to conceal its massive battery, but it is. Its dimensions are 166.23 x 76.50 x 8.89 mm with a weight of 215 gm, which is a bit stout and heavy for the normal mobile. It'll be in your hand and pocket! However, Motorola compensates for these apples with good apples, as it were, in terms of its material selection.

The back is made of vegan leather and offers a premium feel to the phone, most budget phones can't replicate this feel. It's a more non-plasticky feel, and is more resistant to fingerprints than if it had a glossy back. Available in three attractive colors, Impenetrable, Nautical Blue and Fuchsia Red, there's a hue to suit everyone.


The durability part has an IP64 rating, indicating it's resistant to light water splashes and normal dust. Not water proof, you should not put it in the water but it will be okay in bad weather, spills or dusty areas.

All in all, it's a nice build quality, and not too expensive. The Motorola was clearly aimed at a phone that feels good in the hand and to use every day, even if it's not the thinnest or lightest phone on the market. This design is okay if you don't mind a bit more weight for all-day battery life and a nicer-feeling back panel.

Display

The first thing you'll notice about the Moto G77 Power is its size. Measuring 166.23 x 76.50 x 8.89 mm and weighing 215 grams, it's a chunky phone, but that's no surprise as it'll be packing a massive battery. It's not a phone that fits into a small pocket, but it's not the cheesy feel either.

This is primarily due to the vegan leather back. Provides a soft and warm touch rather than a cold glass or slippery plastic feel.

It also resists fingerprints and small scratches, and therefore remains cleaner for longer. There are three color options, Impenetrable, Nautical Blue and Fuchsia Red, with their own personality ranging from classic to bold.


For protection, the cell phone has an IP64 rating, allowing it to withstand light rain, splashes and dusty environments. It has not been designed for swimming or lots of water, but it does take the rigors of everyday life, walking through light rain, using it in the kitchen, or in dusty areas outside.

The Moto G77 Power is slimmer, but it's sturdier and more comfortable. Unlike other phones, this one looks as though it'll take a beating and continue on as if nothing happened, and that is aptly named for its “Power” branding. When it comes to a phone that performs well in the hands and is built to handle the rigors of daily use, this phone delivers.

Camera

The Moto G77 Power features a dual camera system, with the rear unit consisting of 50MP f/1.8 Sony's LYTIA 600 sensor. This is complemented with an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide lens for wider shots. The highlight here is the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) feature of the main camera which is uncommon in such an affordable price range. Useful for low light or videography, it will help eliminate camera shake from shaky hands.

It also features autofocus, LED flash, and 8x digital zoom, as well as convenient shooting modes such as exposure compensation and ISO control for more manual shooters. On the software side Motorola's Night Vision Mode, Portrait Mode, Panorama, Pro Mode with Long Exposure, HDR and Adobe Scan are a pretty good selection of modes to use in everyday photos and some creative shooting along with it.

Daylight Photo:

With a large sensor and a f/1.8 aperture, the 50MP main sensor should deliver crisp, high-quality photos with natural colors in good lighting conditions. The lens should also perform well regarding HDR and balance out bright skies and shadows well, not to mention its flexibility of ultra-wide angle for landscape or group shots. As a whole, daylight performance appears to be decent for the range.


Low-light Photo:

It's in this area that the OIS really belongs. The phone, with support for the stabilization and Night Vision Mode, should shoot more stable and brighter images in the dark than phones with no OIS. However, budget sensors do not perform as well in extremely low light situations, so don't hope for super high-end performance in the low light arena.

The phone has a 32MP f/2.2 selfie camera in the front, which can take up to 1440p photos at 30fps. It should be capable of taking good selfies, video calls and social media content, particularly in good lighting.

Video recording tops out at 1440p (2560x1440) and 1080p, both at 30fps. It's fine for social media snippets and video funnels, but there's no 4K option here as is typical in this price range.

Performance & Software

The Moto G77 Power is powered by the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6400 processor that is designed to deliver enhanced power efficiency thanks to its 6-nanometer architecture. It has two high-performance Cortex-A76 cores (2.5GHz) for heavy-duty tasks and six Cortex-A55 cores (2.0GHz) for lighter, everyday tasks. The combination of these ensures the phone doesn't feel sluggish, while optimizing battery usage – the perfect balance of features for the phone's "Power" theme.

The Mali-G57 MC2 GPU is used for graphics. It is enough to serve normal use of everyday applications, social media, streaming and light and moderate gaming. Games that demand lots of content and lots of graphics at high settings will put its performance to the test, but for casual games, scrolling and multitasking, its performance will be quite responsive.


The phone with 8GB RAM should be able to handle the daily multitasking that users experience, switching between various applications, browsing and using multiple tools simultaneously without any lag. But the 120Hz refresh rating screen additionally contributes to the fluid, quick and responsive interface.

From the software point of view, the phone comes pre-loaded with Android 16, a boon. It's a cleaner and more refreshed experience from the get-go, and the assurance of relevant future updates and security patches for extended periods of time.

This isn't a gaming powerhouse, but overall, it's not. Dimensity 6400 and Android 16 will be paired for seamless daily use, social media, calls, surfing the web, streaming, and casual applications, with battery life a priority. This should be more than sufficient for most users on a daily basis.

Battery & Charger

The Moto G77 Power has one of the largest batteries in its class for its price, with a 7000mAh Li-Ion battery. For most users, that can mean lasting for a full day without any issue, even if you're using it for heavy tasks such as gaming, streaming, and social media. For lighter users, you may be able to use it for almost a day and a half or longer.

For charging it has 30W wired fast charging via a USB Type-C 2.0 port. It is not the fastest on the market but with such a large battery, it will probably take a bit over an hour to charge. Given the amount of space you're getting for the effort required, it's a fair exchange.


Add to that a well-thought out little bonus: 6W reverse wired charging, allowing you to charge smaller devices like earbuds or another phone directly from this device, which is great to have in an emergency.

As might be expected the battery is not removable. In general, if a long battery life is more important to you than charging speed, the G77 Power delivers on its promise.

Motorola Moto G77 Power Price in Bangladesh

The unofficial price of Motorola Moto G77 Power in Bangladesh is ৳33,000 for its 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration. However, this price is not officially announced by Motorola, which means that it may change slightly after the official launch of the phone. Despite this, it's in a crowded mid-range market with phones with the same battery life, display quality and camera performance.

Final Word

As promised, the Moto G77 Power just keeps going. The 7000mAh battery, 120Hz refresh rate, vegan leather back and a solid 50MP camera with OIS make it well equipped for all the day-to-day essentials. It's not a hard-core gamer or a 4k video editor device but for the common man who is seeking a reliable and long-lasting device, this is a good and well-rounded option.
