Motorola Moto G47 Power review
Buy this if you charge your phone rarely and need battery life measured in days, or if you work outdoors and value the bright screen. Look elsewhere if you want a thinner phone, sharp display, or speedy charging—those preferences point to a different €340 option.
This review is based on Motorola’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Motorola Moto G47 Power, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.
Overview
The Moto G47 Power is a bulky mid-range phone built around a 7000mAh battery and a bright 120Hz screen, offering solid endurance and display brightness for its €340 price. The Dimensity 6300 chipset and 4GB RAM are adequate for everyday tasks, but the 264-ppi display and lack of a telephoto lens feel like corners cut in a phone that's otherwise straightforward and durable.
Design & build
At 215g and 8.9mm thick, the G47 Power is noticeably heavy and chunky by modern standards, though the heft comes deliberately from the large battery underneath. The glass front, plastic frame, and either plastic or eco-leather back give it a no-frills feel; it looks functional rather than refined, which is honest for the price. IP64 rating covers dust and splashes but not submersion—standard fare for a mid-range phone, though not exceptional. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor works reliably. This is not a phone that feels premium or thin, and Motorola is not pretending it is.
Display
The 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel maxes out at 1050 nits (peak brightness), which is genuinely useful outdoors and well above what most rivals at this price offer. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling smooth enough. However, the 720p resolution on a 6.67-inch screen means 264 ppi—visibly grainy up close, with text and icons that lack sharpness. This is a significant compromise. For reading or detailed work, you will notice the softness. The bright panel and smooth refresh rate mask the low resolution somewhat in daily use, but they do not erase it. Budget phones have hit 1080p at this size for years; sticking with 720p is a cost-cutting choice.
Performance
The Dimensity 6300 and 4GB RAM slot the G47 Power squarely in mainstream midrange territory. Apps launch without delay, switching between them is lag-free, and video playback is smooth. Gaming is playable at moderate settings but not a strength; do not expect flagship visuals or high framerates on demanding titles. For a phone aimed at everyday calling, messaging, social media, and light productivity, the chipset delivers. Android 16 runs without stuttering under normal use. If you are coming from a two-year-old budget phone, the jump is noticeable; if you expect the speed of last year's flagship, you will be disappointed. This is a realistic fit for the class.
Software
Motorola ships a near-vanilla Android 16 with minimal bloat—a genuine strength that keeps the experience light and responsive. Side-mounted fingerprint unlocking is quick, and the OS gets out of your way. Software updates and long-term support are not guaranteed at this price tier, so plan accordingly. For someone who values a clean, uncluttered interface over layers of customization, this is appealing.
Camera
The 108MP main sensor is more a spec-sheet headline than a game-changer in practice. Real-world photos from this phone are serviceable in daylight: the f/1.7 aperture and PDAF help with autofocus and low-light capability. The 2MP macro lens is filler and barely worth using. Video maxes out at 1440p@30fps, which is functional but not fluid for fast action. The selfie camera at 8MP is enough for video calls and casual shots, nothing more. Against rivals at this price, the imaging is competent but unremarkable; do not buy this phone for photography ambitions.
Battery & charging
The 7000mAh battery is the phone's headline feature and delivers what it promises: easily two days of moderate to heavy use, often three days of lighter tasks. This is genuine endurance and a real reason to consider this phone if you hate hunting for chargers. The 30W charging speed is slow by today's standards—rivals often hit 65W or higher at similar prices—so topping up the large battery takes well over an hour. For someone prioritizing battery life above charging speed, that trade-off makes sense; for everyone else, it will frustrate.
Value & verdict-context
At €340, the G47 Power targets buyers who live far from outlets or charge infrequently and are willing to sacrifice thinness, display sharpness, and fast charging to achieve it. The bright, smooth 120Hz screen and clean software sweeten the deal. However, the chunky body, low-res display, sluggish charging, and modest camera mean this phone is not the balanced all-rounder; it is a specialist. For global-south markets where power instability is real and chargers scarce, the appeal is obvious. In regions with reliable electricity, a more balanced €340 phone might serve you better.
Verdict
Buy this if you charge your phone rarely and need battery life measured in days, or if you work outdoors and value the bright screen. Look elsewhere if you want a thinner phone, sharp display, or speedy charging—those preferences point to a different €340 option.
- 7000mAh battery delivers genuinely two-to-three-day endurance, rare at this price
- 1050-nit display brightness makes it usable in sunlight, well ahead of typical rivals
- Clean, near-stock Android 16 with minimal bloat keeps the experience light
- IP64 rating plus MIL-STD-810H toughness handling provide practical durability for daily knocks
- 720p resolution on a 6.67-inch screen is visibly grainy; text and icons lack crispness at this size
- 30W charging is slow even by mid-range standards; rivals at this price hit 65W or higher
- Heavy (215g) and thick (8.9mm) design makes it feel bulky, especially compared to thinner alternatives
