Moto G77 Power Goes on Sale in India as Its Own Sibling Undercuts It

Motorola’s moto g77 POWER went on sale across India on Monday at an effective ₹23,999 (about $251), pairing a 50MP Sony camera with a 7,000mAh battery in what the company calls the segment’s leading camera phone. It is the fourth phone in Motorola’s G Power family, and the most expensive one yet.

Underneath the new Pantone colours, the phone runs the same MediaTek chip and the same battery cell as a Motorola sibling that costs roughly ₹6,000 less. The camera upgrade is what separates the two price tags.

A 50MP Sony Sensor Leads the Spec Sheet

The headline feature is a 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 main camera built with Quad Pixel technology, which merges four pixels into one for brighter low light shots. An 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 32MP selfie camera, which Motorola calls the segment’s highest, round out the setup, and both ends of the phone record up to 2K video.

Up front, a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD runs at 120Hz, with peak brightness of 1,050 nits and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on top. Water Touch technology keeps the screen responsive with wet fingers, and Display Color Boost is meant to punch up colours in daylight. The audio side is rounded out by stereo speakers with Hi-Res Audio and Dolby Atmos tuning.

A MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chip built on a 6nm process runs the show underneath, paired with 8GB of RAM that can stretch to 24GB using virtual memory borrowed from storage. Storage itself is 128GB, expandable to 1TB with a microSD card, a slot several rivals in this price band have dropped entirely.

A 7,000mAh Battery Cannot Escape a 30W Charging Ceiling

Motorola stuffed in a 7,000mAh cell, 1,800mAh bigger than the standard moto g77’s, and says it is good for up to 59 hours of use, close to the three days the company advertises in its marketing. Charging tops out at 30W wired, plus 6W reverse wired charging for topping up earbuds or another phone.

That charging speed lags well behind the competition. The OnePlus Nord CE6 charges at up to 100W, and Xiaomi’s Redmi line starts at 67W, both fast enough to refill a phone in under an hour. Pushing 30W into a battery this size means most owners will be charging overnight rather than on a lunch break.

Durability is the other pitch. The phone carries SGS-certified MIL-STD-810H military durability testing and an IP64 rating, meaning it can handle dust and splashes but not a dunk in water.

A Pricier Market to Launch Into

India’s smartphone market moved 163.72 million units in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 6.53% annual rate through 2034, according to market researcher IMARC Group. That growth has not kept prices calm.

A study by research firm Techarc, reported by Outlook Business, found India’s average smartphone price rose 7.9% in the first five months of 2026. Phones under ₹10,000 rose the most, up 17.6%, while the ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 bracket, exactly where the moto g77 POWER sits, rose 5.6% in the first five months of 2026 after falling the year before.

The pressure is landing exactly where buyers can least afford it.

Kawoosa, a Techarc analyst quoted in the study, said the increase has moved beyond entry level phones and is now climbing into the mid-range.

The G77 Power Shares Its Chip With a Cheaper Sibling

Motorola has now sold four phones under the G Power name in India, and the g77 POWER is the newest. All four share the same 7,000mAh battery, a defining trait of the line, according to GSMArena.

Motorola built the G77 Power around the same MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chip found in the moto g37 Power, which launched in April 2026 at around ₹20,000, roughly ₹6,000 less. The moto g67 Power, launched in November 2025 at ₹22,999, runs a different and reportedly quicker chip instead, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, which outperforms the Dimensity 6400 on CPU and GPU benchmarks, per Memeburn’s testing.

That leaves the camera as the clearest reason to pick the newest phone. The 32MP selfie camera and Sony LYTIA 600 main sensor are genuine upgrades over the moto g37 Power’s 8MP front camera, and the moto g77 POWER adds Gorilla Glass 7i and a microSD slot that the moto g67 Power does not have.

Is the Moto G77 Power an Upgrade Over the G67 Power?

Not on raw processing power. The moto g77 POWER’s MediaTek Dimensity 6400 trails the moto g67 Power’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 in benchmark testing, and Motorola promises the older phone two OS updates against the newer phone’s one, according to Memeburn. The newer phone’s case rests on its camera, glass and expandable storage instead.

91mobiles’ in-house testing of the Dimensity 6400 in the related moto g37 Power recorded AnTuTu and Geekbench multi-core scores of 570,353 and 1,349, modest marks next to Snapdragon-powered rivals selling in the same price range.

Where the OnePlus Nord CE6 and Galaxy A37 Fit In

Samsung’s Galaxy A37 5G costs far more, about ₹41,999, and trades the giant battery for a sharper AMOLED screen and longer software support, according to PhoneArena’s comparison. The OnePlus Nord CE6 undercuts the battery argument entirely with an even larger 8,000mAh cell.

Further down the price ladder, Infinix’s SMART 20 launched at an effective ₹11,999, a reminder of how crowded every rung of India’s smartphone ladder has become this year.

Launch Offers Sweeten a Phone Still Confined to India

Flipkart, Motorola.in and offline retail stores are now selling the phone in a single 8GB/128GB configuration, across Pantone Nautical Blue, Fuchsia Red and Impenetrable finishes. Motorola confirmed the phone’s price and full spec sheet on July 8, five days ahead of Monday’s sale, and the phone’s Pantone Nautical Blue configuration is already listed there.

• Bank offers – launch card offers bring the ₹25,999 phone down to an effective ₹23,999.
• Jio bundle – eligible Reliance Jio SIM users get 5,000GB of cloud storage for 18 months plus free access to Google Gemini Pro.
• Exchange and EMI – Motorola and its retail partners are also offering exchange discounts and no cost EMI plans for buyers trading in an old phone.

Motorola markets itself as one of India’s leading AI smartphone brands, citing a 2025 TechArc brand report, and has built Google Gemini and Circle to Search into the phone’s software.

None of that changes where the phone can be bought. Motorola has not announced a launch date for the UK, Europe or the US, and the standard moto g77, not the Power version, remains the only current Motorola option for shoppers outside India.
