Motorola Moto G 06 vs Motorola Moto G 06 Power
Our Verdict: Same generation, two tiers: the Moto G 06 Power at the top and the Moto G 06 below it. There's more battery in the Power, 7000mAh to 5200mAh, which should mean longer between charges in day-to-day use, and the 06 is the lighter phone at 194g against 220g. Only pay up for the Power if you'll use what it offers; if not, the 06 makes more sense.
The 06 is the cheaper one to own: around £201 over a typical contract, £13 less than the Power.
