Moto G47 Power Specs: 7,000mAh Battery, 108MP Camera and 120Hz Display

The headline number here is the battery. Motorola's Moto G47 Power packs a 7,000mAh cell, and that's a lot of capacity for a phone that's only 8.89mm thick. The regular Moto G47 carries 5,200mAh, so the jump is substantial. Whether that matters day to day depends on how you use the phone, but on paper it's the clearest reason to look at this model over its sibling.

The Moto G47 Power has started rolling out in some countries. Motorola hasn't shared pricing or availability for other regions, India included, so anyone outside the initial markets will need to wait for more details.

Where the phone is sold and what it costs

The launch price is £299.99 (roughly Rs. 38,000) for a single configuration with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. There's no choice of memory tiers at launch, which keeps things simple but means there's no cheaper option to step down to. The phone comes in three colours, all named after Pantone shades: Nautical Blue, Capri and Impenetrable.

Motorola's announcement was picked up on launch day by tech accounts on X, including one that highlighted the battery gap against the standard G47. That post is a useful shorthand for the pitch: the Power model trades nothing headline-wise for a bigger cell.

Screen: bright enough, but HD+ and 120Hz

The display is a 6.67-inch LCD at HD+ resolution, 720 x 1,604 pixels. That's not full HD, and on a large panel you'll notice it if you're comparing side by side with a sharper OLED. What you get in exchange is a 120Hz refresh rate, which makes scrolling and animations feel noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz screen. Motorola rates peak brightness at 1,050 nits, which should help outdoors.

Motorola also lists Water Touch, a feature meant to keep touch input responsive when the screen is wet. Pair that with Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, and the display is designed with everyday mishaps in mind. Whether Water Touch makes a real difference in use is something hands-on testing would need to confirm.

Performance and storage

The phone runs on the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6300, paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. That's a budget-oriented chipset and memory setup. For messaging, browsing, streaming and camera use it should be adequate, but heavier multitasking or demanding games will show the limits sooner than they would on a flagship. Hold off on drawing firm conclusions until you've seen sustained performance numbers from a reviewer.

Internal storage is 128GB of UFS 2.2 flash, and a microSD slot can expand that to 1TB. Expandable storage is a practical advantage here. It means you won't be forced into a higher-priced model just to hold a large photo library or offline media. UFS 2.2 is slower than the newer UFS 3.1 and 4.0 standards found in pricier phones, so app loading and large file transfers will feel more modest.

The software is Hello UI on Android 16. Motorola's interface has generally stayed close to stock Android, which tends to mean fewer surprises and less preinstalled clutter. Update commitments aren't spelled out in the material available, so if long-term OS support matters to you, check Motorola's policy before buying.

Cameras: the 108MP sensor and what it does

The rear camera is a 108-megapixel main sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. Motorola says it can zoom up to 3x without losing pixels, which is a reference to cropping into the high-resolution sensor rather than optical zoom. Phones with large sensors often default to pixel-binned shots, combining neighbouring pixels into a single brighter output, so the full 108MP files are usually only saved in specific modes. Check how the phone handles that default before assuming every photo will be 108 megapixels.

A 2MP macro camera sits alongside the main sensor. Low-resolution macro lenses have become common on budget phones, and they're useful for close-ups but rarely match a dedicated main sensor in low light. The front camera is 8MP.

Battery, charging and durability

The 7,000mAh battery is the centrepiece. Motorola pairs it with TurboPower charging at 30W, which should cut charging time compared with slower chargers, though a 7,000mAh pack will still take a while to fill from empty. Reverse charging at 6W lets you top up another device, such as earbuds or a smartwatch, from the phone in an emergency.

The phone measures 166.23 x 76.50 x 8.89mm and weighs 215 grams. That's a sizeable handset, and it's on the heavier side for a 6.67-inch device, so the battery is doing real work in the chassis. Motorola lists an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance, which covers splashes and light rain but isn't designed for submersion. The phone also carries MIL-STD-810H certification, a US military test standard that Motorola uses to describe durability against things like drops and temperature changes. That's a manufacturer claim rather than a guarantee, so treat it as a sign of intended toughness.

Who should look at this

My read is that the Moto G47 Power is aimed at people who want the longest battery life they can get without paying for a premium phone. If you mostly stream, message and scroll, a 7,000mAh cell with a 120Hz screen and expandable storage is a sensible combination. If you care most about sharp displays, top-tier processing or the best low-light photos, the HD+ panel and Dimensity 6300 will feel like compromises, and you'd be better served looking at a higher tier.

The bigger question is whether Motorola brings this model to more markets, and at what price. A £299.99 tag is a sensible starting point for the UK, but a phone's value depends heavily on local pricing. Once regional availability and rival prices are clear, the Moto G47 Power's battery and storage will have a much clearer place in your shortlist.
