The Moto G9 Power is reportedly set to arrive in India on December 8, the day after the Moto G 5G goes on sale. Pitched as a big-battery handset from Motorola, it pairs a 6,000mAh cell with a 64-megapixel main camera. Here is what the leaks and international specs tell us so far.
Moto G9 Power launch date and availability
Last month, Motorola signalled that it would bring two new phones to India: the Moto G 5G and the Moto G9 Power. The Moto G 5G has already been made official and goes on sale from December 7 at Rs 20,999.
Motorola has not yet confirmed the Moto G9 Power launch date. Tipster Mukul Sharma claims the phone will launch in India on December 8. According to the leak, it will be a Flipkart Exclusive and sold only through that site. If the leak holds true, the phone should be unveiled at 12 noon on December 8.
Moto G9 Power specifications
The Moto G9 Power runs Android 10 on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset. It features a 6.8-inch HD+ punch-hole display with a 720x1640 pixel resolution.
Photography is handled by a triple rear camera setup, while a 16-megapixel front camera takes care of selfies and video calls. The headline feature is the large 6,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging, which Motorola claims delivers up to 60 hours of backup.
