The verdict, up front

The US carrier-aisle workhorse.

Moto G Power (2025) wins its shelf by offering things US budget rivals skip — wireless charging, full IP68/IP69, a headphone jack and clean Android — for $299. The LCD and slow chip are the give-back. For a no-nonsense carrier phone that survives the job site, it ticks the boxes.
