The Motorola Moto G Power (2026) launched just last week – it’s a $300 phone with an IP69 rating and a MIL-STD-810H compliant design. It has a 6.8” LCD and is powered by the Dimensity 6300 paired with expandable storage, plus a 5,200mAh battery with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging.
If you ever need to repair the latest G Power model, you may want to consult this disassembly video by PBKreviews. The phone has two cameras on the back – a 50MP main with OIS and an 8MP ultra wide with macro mode. The third lens isn’t a camera, it’s just the flicker sensor. The LED flash is part of the rear panel, which has its downsides.

Anyway, once the back is off, things get tricky. Motorola didn’t use any pull tabs or any other method to make removing the battery easy. Worse, it used plenty of adhesive. The battery is expected to retain at least 80% of its original capacity (5,200mAh typical, 19.95Wh) after 1,000 charge cycles, so it will be a while before it needs changing. Still, a more repair-friendly design would have been better.
The stubborn battery makes other repairs more difficult – for example, the screen cable passes under the battery. It gets worse – you need to remove the screen to get access to the ribbon cables for the power button and the volume rocker. If one of those ever stops working, it’s going to be a tricky repair that risks damaging both the battery and the screen.
PBKreviews gave the Motorola Moto G Power (2026) a repairability score of 5/10. Most of the lost points can be traced back to the hard to replace battery (and the fact that it complicates other repairs).
