The smartphone industry has seen certain trends taking precedence every few years. The latest shift is towards ultra-slim smartphones, with brands once again emphasising form factor and in-hand comfort. Even industry behemoths like Apple and Samsung have begun embracing thinner designs, as evident by the introduction of the iPhone Air and Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge. With the Edge 70, Motorola joins the ultra-slim smartphone race, bringing its own take on what a thin phone should be.

Motorola India's recently launched G67 Power offers tremendous value for money on paper. It has everything one would want and expect from a budget smartphone, with notable enhancements such as a high-capacity silicon-carbon battery, an IP rating, and a stylish design. However, Motorola also launched its Moto G86 Power earlier this year. It offers slightly better core hardware but a smaller and older battery compared to the new G67 Power at a similar price tag. Which one should you pick and why? Let's find out!

The budget smartphone segment is an interesting one, because there aren't just entry-level smartphone buyers fishing for something better with a slightly bigger budget. You also have first-time smartphone buyers looking to get better value for their money, aiming to get the best features possible on a tight budget. With that said, it is equally challenging for manufacturers to come up with something new, given these tight spending budgets. Year after year, they somehow manage to squeeze in a new feature by cutting a few corners.
