This is the brand-new Moto G10 Power, launched with near-stock Android at an attractive price point--let's get it unboxed!
The first thing you'll see is the phone, we've got the Aurora Grey colour variant, but it looks more purple than Grey. It also comes with a unique wave texture on the back that helps in offering a better grip. Let's keep it aside for now and see what else we get in the box.There's a bit of paperwork for the quick start guide and safety instructions.
Underneath that, you'll see the 20W charging adapter. There's also a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable.
The last thing in the box is of course the SIM ejector tool.
Now let's keep all this aside and get straight into the Moto G10.
The front of the phone has this pre-applied plastic sheet that holds the specs, let's get that off first.
On the design front, the Moto G10 Power features this textured back with raised edges, that look a bit like waves. It's plastic, but the device does get an IP52 water repellant design.
On the right-hand side, you'll see the power on/off button, along with the volume rocker. Sitting above that is the dedicated Google Assistant button. On the bottom is a microphone, USB Type-C port and a single downward firing speaker. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the G10 Power too, on the top end of the phone.
The phone is a bit thick in true Moto fashion, and weighs around 220g, so it does feel a tad bulky in the hand.
There's a physical fingerprint sensor on the back, that's got the Motorola logo etched into it, a common sight on G series devices.
Once you set it up, you'll see the phone's 6.5-inch HD+ Max Vision IPS LCD display. With a Snapdragon 460 chip and 4GB RAM, it feels quick enough to respond.
Along with Motorola's classic near-stock Android skin, there's also Android 11 on the G10 Power right out of the box, which is an encouraging thing to see at this price point.
Being a Moto device, the camera app is chock-full of various shooting modes. They make full use of the 48MP quad rear camera setup, and also offer things like a dedicated night mode, ultra-wide, macro and manual shooting options.
The selfie camera is an 8MP sensor that's embedded in a water-drop style notch at the top of the screen.
Keeping the lights on is a large 6,000mAh battery, and the G10 Power comes equipped with various power saving and adaptive battery modes that help get the most juice out of the phone.
Internal storage is 64GB, but there is a Hybrid dual SIM slot that can be used to expand the storage up to 1TB with a microSD card.
Thanks to the Moto skin, there's various customisations that can be made to the user interface--everything from system fonts, to accent colours can be tweaked to your liking.
There's Moto Gestures as well, for things like turning on the flashlight, taking a screenshot and much more.

But that's not all for this unboxing--we've also got the Moto G30 in the house, so let's get that unboxed and setup too!
Open up its box, and the first thing you'll see is the phone itself, but unlike the G10 Power, it's wrapped in a protective TPU case.
Dive deeper into the box, and you'll find the usual paperwork, followed by the 20W charging adapter and the USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable. Also present is the SIM ejector tool.
Now let's get into the G30 itself.
On the design front, it features a Dark Pearl colour in the variant we've got, that sports a matte finish on its plastic back, and gets an IP52 water repellent rating.
There's a power button on the right, with a volume rocker situated above it, along with a dedicated button for the Google Assistant.
Weighing in at 200g, it does feel a bit lighter in the hand that the G10 Power.
There's a quad rear camera setup on the back, with a 64MP primary sensor, and a physical fingerprint scanner, etched with the Motorola logo.
The G30 gets a 6.5-inch HD+ Max Vision IPS LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate. At the very top of the screen is a 13MP selfie camera in a waterdrop notch.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 662 chipset with 4GB RAM and keeping things fresh is Android 11 out of the box.
There's plenty of camera modes on offer to make full use of the quad rear camera setup, including a dedicated portrait mode, live filters and much more.
The screen refresh rate can be adjusted to either Auto, 60Hz or 90Hz, depending on whether you want to conserve battery or have the smoothest experience.
Battery on the G30 is a 5,000mAh unit, and Motorola has provided enough battery saving features on this one.
Storage is 64GB internal, with a maximum 1TB expansion possible if you use the microSD card slot on its hybrid SIM card tray.
Like with other Moto devices, there's loads of customisation options for the user interface, and quick gestures to trigger specific functions.
