Moto G37 & Moto G37 Power Review 2026: Big Battery Phones That Actually Deliver Under ₹19,000?
Motorola has refreshed its budget G-series with the Moto G37 and Moto G37 Power, launched in India on May 19, 2026.
These phones target users who want long battery life, smooth displays, and reliable daily performance without spending over ₹20,000.
I tested both models for over a week — the standard G37 for light users and the Power variant for heavy usage.
Here’s my complete hands-on review with real-world performance, pros, cons, and who should buy them.

Design and Build: Practical and Durable
Both phones feel solid for the price. The Moto G37 Power stands out with vegan leather finishes (Pantone Nautical Blue and Capri) that look and feel premium while resisting fingerprints. The standard G37 uses a PMMA finish.
Both have IP64 dust and splash resistance and military-grade durability. The flat frame and 120Hz display make them comfortable for long sessions. The Power variant is slightly heavier due to the bigger battery but still manageable.
Display: Smooth 120Hz HD+ Panel
Both models feature a 6.67-inch HD+ LCD with 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1050 nits brightness. The high refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming feel fluid. Colors are decent for the price, though blacks aren’t as deep as AMOLED panels. Gorilla Glass 7i protection adds durability.
For media and casual gaming, the display performs well, especially at this price.
Performance: Reliable for Daily Use
Both are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset. It handles daily tasks, social media, browsing, and light gaming smoothly. BGMI and COD Mobile run at medium-high settings with acceptable frame rates.
The G37 Power with 8GB RAM feels snappier during multitasking. No major heating issues during normal use.
Camera: Decent Daylight Shots
Both have a 50MP main rear camera. Daylight photos are sharp with good colors and detail. Low-light performance is average. The 8MP front camera takes usable selfies.
Not flagship-level, but perfectly fine for social media and everyday photography.
Battery Life: The Star of the Show
- Moto G37: 5200mAh battery lasts a full day with moderate use.
- Moto G37 Power: The 7000mAh battery is the highlight — easily lasts 2.5 to 3 days with heavy use. Even with gaming and streaming, it comfortably crosses 2 days.
Charging is decent (33W on Power model). The Power variant is ideal for users who hate frequent charging.
Software: Clean Android 16 Experience
Both run Android 16 with Motorola’s clean Hello UI. Minimal bloatware, useful Moto gestures, and good customization. Motorola promises upgrade to Android 17 and 3 years of security updates.
