Moto G Power (2021) vs Pixel 4a

Posted: 03 Oct 2021 07:55 AM PDT

I recently had to replace my Pixel 4a due to water damage. The screen stopped registering touch properly. A Pixel 5a would have probably been my preferred replacement, but I decided that it wasn't worth the price to me. My replacement is a Moto G Power (2021). Here are the details that stand out to me, after being happy with the Pixel 4a.

Moto G Power (2021)

Pros:

Price ($200)
Larger screen (personally I would have liked a smaller phone, but there aren't really any smaller phones with comparable specs at this price)
Moto gestures (chop for flashlight and twist for camera are useful)
Good battery (I could probably go 1.5 days or 2 days if I was careful)
Water resistant (Edit: Apparently, it's only water repellant. There is no IPS rating.)
Face unlock (although I rarely use this)
Side fingerprint sensor (I've had phones with the sensor on the front and back and I prefer the side sensor. This is probably my favorite thing about this phone.)
Loud speakers

Cons:

Heavy
Thick
Screen color and resolution are lacking, but not terrible
Camera could be better
Performance is not as good as the Pixel 4a, although it's not as bad as many reviewers make it seem, in my opinion.

My conclusion is that this is a very good phone for $200. You get water resistance, decent performance, and good battery life. You'll probably be disappointed if you're used to flagship phones, but many people don't need a $1000 pocket computer.
