Motorola introduces the moto g17 power and moto g17: smartphones built for creativity and everyday life

Motorola today announces the arrival of the new moto g17 power and moto g17, devices designed for users who want technology that keeps up with their creativity, their pace, and their style. With powerful cameras, immersive entertainment features, and a design that feels as good as it looks, the moto g17 power and moto g17 are built to elevate everyday experiences.

The camera system is at the heart of the devices, delivering the highest resolution front-facing camera in a moto g, and giving users the freedom to capture life from every angle. Whether it’s a natural portrait in broad daylight or a sweeping landscape, the 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 600 main sensor1, a first for a moto g in this segment¹¹, ensures crisp detail and vibrant color. A 5MP ultra‑wide lens makes group shots and scenic views effortless, while the 32MP front camera² delivers 4x the resolution of the previous model¹³, guaranteeing selfies are always ready to share. Smart features like ambient light sensing and flicker reduction keep photos sharp, and with AI‑powered editing tools in Google Photos³, users can edit like a pro, transforming great shots into standout content instantly.

Behind the scenes, the moto g17 power and moto g17 are engineered to keep pace with users’ creativity. The MediaTek Helio G81 Extreme octa-core processor delivers the speed needed for editing, posting, and browsing without interruption. With up to 24GB of RAM⁴ and generous storage options, multitaskers can move effortlessly between apps and never worry about running out of room for their content.

All that power is backed by a battery designed to last. The moto g17 power’s 6000mAh⁵ and moto g17’s 5200mAh⁶ capacities keep users connected from morning to night, while TurboPower™ charging delivers hours of use in just minutes.⁷ Even after years of daily charging, the battery is built to retain most of its original strength, offering reliability that endures.⁸

Entertainment comes to life on the expansive Full HD+ display, which offers sharp clarity even in bright sunlight thanks to its high brightness mode. Paired with advanced audio systems that offers 200% more powerful sound with Volume Boost¹³, the devices’ stereo sound enhanced by Dolby Atmos® delivers a cinematic experience whether users are streaming, editing, or simply scrolling.

From its unique textures to its protective build, the moto g17 power and moto g17 are designed to go wherever users do. Wrapped in a soft, premium leather-inspired finish and protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3¹⁴, the devices are protected against scratches, while offering a premium feel in hand. And with three Pantone-curated colors—Evening Blue, Alaskan Blue, Tarmac and Bordeaux—users can choose the look that best matches their personality.⁹

Across all of our franchises, Motorola delivers a thoughtful suite of features designed to simplify and enrich the user experience. With Hello UX, Moto Secure, and Gestures, users have the tools they need to personalize their device, protect their data, and create safer digital environments. Integration with Google’s Chat with Gemini¹⁶ adds a new layer of productivity, helping users brainstorm ideas, write messages, or plan events using voice, text, or even their camera. And with Circle to Search¹⁵ from Google, they can instantly look up anything on screen with a circle, highlight, scribble, or tap.
