The Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 is used as the SoC. In terms of performance, it operates at class level and generally delivers smooth system operation. However, there is little headroom available for more demanding applications.
The UFS 2.2 storage performs briskly and ensures short loading times.
Under sustained load, the chassis does warm up noticeably, but this is not critical. The 3DMark stress tests also show that the SoC throttles only minimally, if at all.
The bottom-firing speaker is supported by the earpiece, resulting in stereo sound. Maximum volume is average, while sound quality is good overall but somewhat treble-heavy. External audio devices can be connected via the 3.5 mm jack or Bluetooth, with a wide range of Bluetooth audio codecs supported.
The large 7,000 mAh battery is undoubtedly one of the Moto G57 Power’s highlights. It enables runtimes well beyond 20 hours in our Wi-Fi test. That said, batteries of this size are now also found in mid-range smartphones from Xiaomi and other manufacturers, sometimes delivering slightly longer runtimes. Thanks to 30-watt charging, the battery is fully recharged in up to 1 hour and 45 minutes.
