However, Motorola made some upgrades to some of the other performance facilitators. We have 4GB of RAM, double the internal storage of the previous model, leaving us 128GB of internal storage, a massive 6000mAh battery as opposed to the 5000mAh battery on the previous model.
Having a bigger battery would need a faster charge mechanism and as such, Motorola made a leap from having an 18W fast charge mechanism on the Moto G8 power to have a 20W fast charge mechanism on here.
On the software side, the Moto G9 Power runs its interface on top of the Android 10 operating system.
