These days, we consider the Moto G Power to be the best budget phone you can buy for under $250. This is because the Moto G Power has very good battery life, adequate performance and photography capabilities, and compatibility with all cellular networks.

Despite this, it is clear that Motorola is not satisfied with the value of its latest budget handset. The company is now offering even cheaper models that inherit most of what we liked about the Power.

Motorola's latest budget phone is called the Moto G Fast. Coming out July 12 for $199 via Unlock and Boost Mobile, the 6.4-inch Moto G Fast has the exact same processor as the Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus, but with a 4,000-mAh power pack compared to the Power's 5,000-mAh packs a 4,000-mAh battery. It also has 3GB of RAM instead of 4GB, but Motorola was able to include the Power's triple-lens rear camera on the Fast as well, so in the grand scheme of things the difference is actually pretty small.

The Moto G Fast comes with the new 6.2-inch Moto E, which will be available in 2020 for $149. Inside this model is a Snapdragon 632 processor supported by 2GB of RAM, a 3,550mAh battery, and a dual-lens rear camera combining a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.

Like the Moto G Fast, the Moto E will be available unlocked, but it will also be compatible with Metro by T-Mobile, Boost Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Xfinity Mobile, Republic Wireless, Verizon's The phones will be sold through a variety of discount carriers, including Metro by T-Mobile, Boost Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Xfinity Mobile, Republic Wireless, and Verizon prepaid services. Both phones are available for pre-order today at Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and other major retailers.

However, the Moto G Fast is the device we are primarily excited to test; the Moto G Power won us over with its incredibly long charge time, lasting 16 hours and 10 minutes in Tom's Guide's custom battery test, but the The rest of the device is also quite solid. The display is bright enough, performance is brisk enough to handle regular phone tasks, the photos taken are not much worse than what you get from a Pixel 3a, for example, and the few software shortcuts and enhancements Motorola has added to Android 10, really useful.

If the Moto G Fast can deliver all of these aspects that Power excelled at, albeit with a slight hit to battery life, it could be the perfect sub-$200 phone The Moto G Stylus also has a 4,000mAh battery and the same battery test, which ran for 12 hours and 13 minutes.

On the cheaper side, the Moto E will take the fight to Nokia's series of inexpensive handsets: the $189 Nokia 4.2 handset we tested nearly a year ago was a sensible and cute design, but it has a lower-spec chip than the one in the Moto E.

The Moto E's battery life is also very good, battery life was also less than flattering.

This year, Motorola has risen to reclaim its budget smartphone crown with the Moto G Power and Moto G Stylus, and the Moto G Fast and Moto E prove whether Motorola can keep it up. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for reviews of both devices.
