Moto G9 Power Unboxing:
This is the Moto G9 power box pack Key specifications mentioned on the box 64-megapixel camera, 6000 MH battery and max vision display Let's open up    I have opened the box where is the handset with a film on it with key specifications smartphone comes with a silicon case I am removing it quality is good I have now removed the silicon case, the handset looks great.

Motorola G9 Power Battery performance, battery test, charging test:
Let's check out the other content inside the box removing this film  Inside the box there is this Sim tray ejector pin user manual warranty card  USB to USB type C data cable inside the box turbo power 20W fast charger is also included inside the box.

Quality and texture on the back:
This smartphone has got a premium look and there is a special texture on the back and this is the texture looks cool like fingerprint  It looks great and does not leave any fingerprint smudges and you also get a very good grip probably you might not need the silicon case but always better to have added protection the body is made up of plastic and if you look at the frame it follows the same colour pattern this smartphone also comes with an audio jack and directions are pretty good it is comfortable to hold and on the rear, there is fingerprint sensor with the Moto logo. Moto G9 power comes with 6000 MH battery so what is the weight it is 221 g but doesn't feel that heavy this is 9.7 MM slim. 

special button with a special design:
and interesting thing that I liked is the Dedicated button for Google assistant  This button is on the left inside it is a slightly curved button design looks elegant and pressing it will activate Google assistant.

Moto G9 Power display quality:
Moto G9 power comes with a 6.8 inch IPS LCD display Display quality is very good and it comes with an HD+ resolution Maybe some people might complain that should have been FDH+ But I think HD+ is good enough there's not much of a difference among HD+ / FHD+ Many users might not even see the difference Display looks good and is visible under sunlight.

G9 Power Specs :
Moto G9 power comes with 4G Ram and 64GB of internal storage space I have ejected the SIM tray, it's a hybrid slot here too some might complain that they should have been a dedicated microSD card slot I guess today not many people are using a microSD card and those using probably are using a 32GB card Maybe they have a smartphone with the 32GB storage But here you get 64GB storage If you are using two Sims as well as a dedicated microSD card then this is not for you You can use max 512GB microSD card let's check out the ROM performance here is read and write speed they are perfect considering the price   Next important thing that many users look for it's the camera.

Camera performance:
This is the triple camera setup 64 megapixel primary camera +2 megapixel and another two-megapixel camera main camera is f/1.8 and 2MP depth and 2MP macro camera  Front camera is 16 megapixel using quad pixel technology 90% smartphones users when they want to know about the camera  dynamic range, color saturation, hue, sharpness, brightness contrast  They will never ask you about these things but will ask a simple question how is the quality And even if you tell the users about everything they will still ask you how is the camera quality So let me show you the camera samples but to simplify it further I give the following ratings  four ratings poor, average, above average and excellent Today almost all of the smartphones will give you an average camera performance Average quality means you can share it on social networks above average means  you can share on social networks as well as view perfectly on a computer Excellent means professional-grade camera but a lot depends upon your skills too Here are the sample images and all these shorts were shot using the Moto G9 power.

It can zoom up to 8X this is the zoom shot You can also shoot in 64 megapixels it captures more detail in this mode  Best for landscape photography in 64 megapixel Focusing and colour reproductions are really good on Moto smartphones search will get lot of interesting features but these shorts are taken using normal mode you can see this shot I took it in portrait mode the tree is in focus looks great you can shoot in micro and macro shots look great  Night mode also called night vision and these shorts are taken using the night vision mode.
This is the camera interface to modes are there 1X and macro mode there is video mode and a lot of interesting features such as spot colour Spot focus you can select a colour and will get only that colour in the photo  Live filter cutout cinema graph and more you can shoot really great pictures considering the price and the quality is excellent. 

Moto G9 Power Performance benchmark:
Now let's check the performance in the start I mentioned don't buy the best smartphone buy the smartphone that is best for you The reason being there are three kinds of users the first kind is a normal user who will use a smartphone for video watching Facebook WhatsApp chatting then there is the middle-level user that does exactly what the normal user does apart from it this user also play the game to some extent  The third kind is the user who is a hard-core gaming user this Moto G9 power is best for normal users and for mid-level users. it is powered by a QUALCOMM snapdragon 662 octa-core processor and here is the benchmark score.

Call of Duty Gameplay with heating and battery drain:
I'm going to play this game call of duty this will give you a better idea how the handset performance I'm going to play this game for quite some time will check the battery drop as well as the heat up This call of duty game The graphic looks great performance is smooth and no lags so far I played this game for about 52 minutes when I started the game battery temperature was 32° when I stopped playing the battery temperature reached to 36° This means that the handset did not heat up much, many  users check the outer temperature but I check the battery temperature If there is a major issue the battery will heat up and anyways CPU and GPU the temperature is always high  today many smartphones come with a specific material being used that absorb heat  these materials are used to have specially near the CPU and GPU area So hardly any heat up and after 52 minutes the battery drop was 11%  so if you are playing this COD game you will be able to play for up to 5 to 6 hours non-stop with the 6000 MH battery  when playing games when you advance to much higher levels you could encounter lags as I mentioned this is best for normal and mid-level users .

MultiView, NFC and more:
There are many other features that you usually would find on premium smartphones like multitasking  Multi-window using two different applications you can also use Google assistant using the dedicated button provided On the real there is a fingerprint sensor that is decently fast and pretty accurate this smartphone is water repellent and interestingly comes with built-in NFC  usually for this price other brands do not provide NFC  there are dual microphones and dual Wi-Fi dual-band Wi-Fi microphone quality is really good  I have used this handset for few days didn't find any network issues dual voltage is supported Now this video that you are viewing is being played on this smartphone this is a 4K video And the sound is coming out from the Moto G9 power smartphone speaker quality is pretty good. 

Stock Android with My UX:
another unique thing about this smartphone is the stock android experience  stock android is simple but people prefer it because it comes with no ads  Motorola has taken it a bit further they have introduced my UX that allows you to customise the stock android experience to some extent This looks great and still you are getting that stock android experience that too without ads  let's check out the battery performance I have done the drain test as well as the charging test  had already done the drain test at the COD game for about 52 minutes 11% battery drop With this 6000 MaH battery You can get up to 3 days of battery life with mixed usage  It's the winter time but still the handset does not heatup When I played the games for about 52 minutes the maximum battery temperature was 36°  and when I was charging this smartphone using the 20 W charger the maximum battery temperature reached to about 34° This is winter time else you can expect battery temperature to increase by 2 to 4%  so I charged this sense it from 19% to hundred percent how much time did it take  two hours 23 minutes.

The best thing I liked about the handset:
So this is the Moto G9 power pricing is really good Rs.11,999 If you ask me what I liked apart from 6000 mAh and 64MP camera  I would say am impressed with the design and the triple camera on the back there is a circular ring around the lens, the flash also included giving a symmetrical look professional looks, and when you hold you get that premium feel.
