Motorola is set to launch the Moto G77 Power in India on July 8, revealing almost all the details before its debut. Instead of chasing slim designs or the fastest processors, this budget-friendly smartphone prioritizes endurance with a huge 7000mAh battery, a 120Hz display, and dual-standard durability certifications. This approach fits well in the Indian market, where affordable phones with long battery life enjoy brisk sales. The Moto G77 Power runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, emphasizing solid daily performance and battery longevity.
The Moto G77 Power sports a 6.72-inch Full HD+ LCD screen running at 120Hz, with brightness peaking at 1050 nits in High Brightness Mode. Its display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. On the durability front, the phone is IP64-rated for dust and splash resistance and meets MIL-STD-810H military standards, tests often cited by manufacturers to prove the phone’s resilience to everyday knocks and minor accidents.
Under the hood, the G77 Power runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. It supports ’RAM Boost’ for virtual memory expansion and offers a microSD slot supporting cards up to 1TB. These specs stand out compared to other budget models, which often limit RAM to 4-6GB, storage to 64GB, and stick to 60Hz displays. The Dimensity 6400 delivers solid daily performance without targeting demanding gaming sessions.

The battery is the headline here. Even among bigger brands, 7000mAh capacities remain uncommon. Motorola promises up to 59 hours of usage on a single charge. In its price range-roughly 15,000 to 20,000 Indian rupees-most phones typically offer 5000-6000mAh batteries. The G77 Power aims to last well into a second day or even longer without needing a power outlet.
The cameras aren’t skimpy either. The main 50MP sensor uses Sony’s LYTIA 600 with optical image stabilization, complemented by an 8MP ultrawide shooter. The selfie camera resolves at 32MP. Both front and rear cameras support video recording up to 2K resolution, a notable feature in this budget segment.
The phone includes stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.4, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It will come in four eye-catching Pantone colors-Impenetrable, Nautical Blue, Fuchsia Red, and Laurel Green-offering a break from the usual black and gray shades common in budget phones. Motorola has leaned into these vibrant Pantone palettes in its affordable lineup for a few years now.
Pricing will be announced at the July 8 launch. The phone enters a fiercely competitive Indian budget smartphone segment where brands like Realme, iQOO, Redmi, and Tecno aggressively target users seeking long battery life at reasonable prices. If Motorola can offer the G77 Power around 15,000-20,000 rupees, it could appeal strongly to buyers weighing battery endurance, decent cameras, and brand familiarity.
While the Moto G77 Power might not topple flagship-level performance or design benchmarks, its emphasis on a giant battery and balanced features could shake up the mid-tier budget phone space. Watch for how Motorola prices and positions it against the flood of competitors in India, a segment increasingly demanding devices that last beyond a single day on a single charge.
