Overview
At the end of January Motorola refreshed its budget and mid‑range line‑up with four new devices: the Moto G67, Moto G77, Moto G17 and Moto G17 Power. The first two target the mid‑range segment, while the latter pair aim at entry‑level users who still want a solid camera and long battery life.
Moto G77 – Premium Mid‑range
The Moto G77 stands out with a 6.78‑inch 120 Hz OLED panel (1,272 × 2,772 px, 10‑bit colour, HDR, Gorilla Glass 7i). It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset and ships with 8 GB RAM.
- 108 MP main sensor with OIS and native 3× in‑sensor zoom
- 8 MP 119° ultra‑wide lens
- 32 MP selfie camera (1440p @ 30 fps video)
- 5,200 mAh battery, 30 W fast charging
- IP64 dust‑tight, splash‑proof rating
Gaming performance is modest – the Dimensity 6400 is not a high‑end gaming chip, but the high‑refresh OLED makes media consumption smooth.
Moto G67 – Balanced Mid‑range
The G67 mirrors the G77’s design and battery but trims the camera and chipset to keep costs down.
- 6.78‑inch display (same specs as G77)
- MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (0.1 GHz slower than the 6400)
- 4 GB RAM, 8 GB optional
- 50 MP main sensor (no OIS)
- 8 MP ultra‑wide lens
- 5,200 mAh battery, 30 W charging
- IP64 rating
Both G67 and G77 offer 128 GB/256 GB storage options (some regions up to 512 GB) and a microSD slot.
Moto G17 – Simple 4G Entry‑level
The G17 is a straightforward 4G phone using the older Helio G81 Extreme (12 nm) SoC.
- 6.72‑inch IPS LCD
- 4 GB RAM, 8 GB optional
- 50 MP main camera (1080p @ 30 fps video)
- 5 MP ultra‑wide lens
- 32 MP selfie camera
- 5,200 mAh battery, 18 W charging
- IP64 rating
Moto G17 Power – Battery‑focused Variant
The Power version upgrades memory and battery capacity.
- 8 GB RAM (or 4 GB base model)
- 256 GB/512 GB storage options
- 6,000 mAh battery with 30 W fast charging
- Same camera setup as the standard G17
- MicroSD slot for expansion
Pricing and Value
- Moto G67 4/128 GB – £200 (≈€260 for 4/256 GB)
- Moto G77 8/128 GB – £250 (8/512 GB €300 in EU)
- Moto G17 8/128 GB – €200
- Moto G17 Power 8/256 GB – €230 (EU) / £150 (4/128 GB UK)
All models carry an IP64 rating and a microSD slot, giving them a degree of durability and expandability.
Verdict
If you need a vibrant high‑refresh display and a flagship‑grade camera, the Moto G77 is the clear winner, though it’s not a gaming powerhouse. The G67 offers a similar experience at a lower price, sacrificing OIS and a bit of processing headroom.
For budget‑conscious buyers, the G17 provides a decent 50 MP sensor and solid battery life, while the G17 Power is ideal for users who prioritize endurance thanks to its 6,000 mAh cell and 30 W charging.
