Motorola Launches G37, G37 Power and G47: Big Batteries, 108MP Camera, India Launch Likely in Weeks

Motorola pulled the wraps off three new budget phones together yesterday. The Moto G37, the G37 Power, and the G47 all went official in Europe on April 29, and if the company sticks to its usual playbook, the India rollout should follow within two to three weeks.

The big talking point is the G37 Power. It packs a 7,000mAh battery, which is genuinely huge for a phone at this price. The other two ship with a still-respectable 5,200mAh cell. Beyond the battery, all three share the same 6.67-inch FHD+ 120Hz IPS LCD, the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, and Android 16 running Motorola's Hello UX. The differences come down to cameras, charging speeds, RAM, and the protective glass.

Let me break this down properly.

What all three phones share

If you've been shopping in the budget segment, you've already noticed Motorola's strategy. Build one phone, ship three flavours of it. Here's the common ground this time:

• 6.67-inch IPS LCD, Full HD+, 120Hz refresh rate
• MediaTek Dimensity 6300, built on a 6nm process
• Android 16 with Motorola's Hello UX layer
• IP64 dust and splash resistance, plus MIL-STD-810H rugged certification
• 3.5mm headphone jack (yes, still there)
• Stereo speakers tuned for Dolby Atmos
• microSD card slot for extra storage
• Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
• NFC support

The Dimensity 6300 is no powerhouse, but Motorola has tuned this chipset reasonably well in past G-series releases. WhatsApp, YouTube, banking apps, casual gaming, all fine. BGMI or Genshin at higher settings is where it'll start sweating.

Moto G37: the affordable starting point

This is the cheapest of the lot at around €249. You get a 50MP main camera, a 5,200mAh battery with 30W TurboPower charging, and either 4GB or 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB of storage. It's the no-nonsense option for someone who wants the basics covered without spending more than they need to.

Moto G37 Power: the one Reddit can't stop talking about

This is the highlight of the launch. The 7,000mAh battery is the obvious headline, but you also get 30W charging, 8GB RAM as standard, and storage options going up to 256GB. The cameras stay the same as the base G37 (50MP main). Priced at €279.

For anyone who hates charging their phone every night, this is basically built for them. Two to three days of regular use looks realistic from the early hands-on coverage in Europe. Heavy users should still get a comfortable day and a half.

Moto G47: the camera flex

The G47 is the priciest of the trio at €319, and the extra cash mostly goes into the camera and the build. You get a 108MP main sensor with 3x lossless zoom, a 2MP macro, and an 8MP front shooter. Gorilla Glass 7i protects the display, which is a step up over the regular G37. RAM stays at 8GB, storage is 128GB or 256GB, expandable up to 1TB.

The catch: battery drops back to 5,200mAh, and charging speed actually goes down to 20W. Reverse wired charging at 6W is a small bonus. The box comes with a 20W charger and a basic case.

India launch and pricing: what to actually expect

Here's the part everyone in Jaipur and across the country actually wants to know.

Motorola has not announced an Indian release date or rupee pricing yet. But going by how the brand has handled the last few G-series launches (think G86 Power, G75, G64), I'd put my money on a mid-May to early-June rollout. Flipkart and Motorola's own website will almost certainly be the first stops, with Amazon possibly joining in later.

Based on the European pricing and Motorola's usual Indian markdowns, here's a realistic guess for what these will cost:

A reminder: these are estimates, not official figures. Motorola has been aggressive on Indian pricing for nearly two years now (the G86 Power launched at ₹16,999 last year), so the real numbers could come in lower with bank offers, exchange deals, and intro discounts factored in.

What people are saying so far

The mood on Reddit (mainly r/Motorola and r/IndianGaming) and X has been mostly upbeat, especially around the G37 Power. Users who owned the older Moto G Power 5G are calling the jump to 7,000mAh long overdue but very welcome. The IP64 rating combined with MIL-STD-810H is also picking up a lot of love, since most phones at this price still skip proper durability certification.

The G47's 108MP camera has split opinions a bit. Some are happy that this kind of sensor is showing up at a sub-€320 price, while others (rightly) are pointing out that big megapixel counts don't automatically translate to great photos and that we need to wait for proper low-light samples.

The biggest concern in the early threads: how the Dimensity 6300 will hold up after a year or two of updates. Motorola's software story has improved a lot since the Lenovo days, but the older buggy Motos haven't been fully forgotten by long-time users.

On the Indian X handle of Motorola India, the comments section is already flooded with the usual India launch kab? and price kya hoga? questions. A few verified leakers have replied saying the announcement is "weeks away, not months."

Should you wait?

If your budget is under ₹25,000 and battery life is your top priority, yes, the G37 Power is genuinely worth the wait. A 7,000mAh cell with IP64 and MIL-STD-810H at sub-₹22k pricing (assuming the estimates land close) would be one of the better value picks in the segment.

If camera matters more than battery, the G47 is the obvious choice of the three, but at the ₹25k plus mark it'll start running into the Realme 14 Pro+, the Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro, and the Vivo T4 5G. Worth comparing properly before committing.

The plain G37 is harder to recommend over the Power version unless the India price gap turns out to be more than ₹3,000. The extra battery is just too useful for too little money.

Bottom line

These aren't spec monsters and they're not pretending to be. They're durable, battery-focused, slightly boring (in a good way) phones for people who care about reliability over flash. If that sounds like you, the G37 Power deserves a spot on your shortlist the moment it shows up on Flipkart.

We'll update this story with confirmed India pricing and dates as soon as Motorola announces them.
