Motorola will launch the Moto G37 and the higher‑capacity Moto G37 Power in India on 19 May. Both phones keep the Dimensity 6300 SoC, 120 Hz 6.67‑inch display and 50 MP main camera of the global models, while the Power variant adds a 7 000 mAh battery and 30 W charging. Pricing is still under wraps, but the devices will be sold through the official Motorola store, Flipkart and other retailers.
Motorola is ready to roll out the latest entries in its budget‑friendly G‑Series to the Indian market. After a soft launch across several European countries, the company will make the Moto G37 and the Moto G37 Power available on 19 May via the Motorola India online store, Flipkart and authorized retailers.
What’s new on the G37 line?
Both models share a 6.67‑inch LCD panel with FHD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, a rarity in the sub‑₹15 000 segment. Under the hood sits MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with 4 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. A micro‑SD slot supports expansion to 1 TB, giving power users plenty of room for media and apps.
The phone runs Android 16 out of the box, though Motorola has not announced a concrete software‑support timeline. The camera array consists of a 50 MP primary sensor and a 2‑in‑1 light sensor for basic portrait and macro shots. Audio gets a boost from stereo speakers, and the front‑facing 3.5 mm headphone jack remains, a feature that many mid‑range rivals have already dropped.
Power vs. regular – where the differences lie
| Feature | Moto G37 | Moto G37 Power |
|---|---|---|
| Battery | 5 200 mAh | 7 000 mAh |
| Fast‑charging | Not specified | 30 W wired (Ugreen Nexode charger compatible) |
| Weight | ~190 g | ~210 g |
| Price (rumoured) | TBD | TBD |
The Power variant’s larger cell pushes endurance into the 2‑day territory for moderate use, while the 30 W charger (available from third‑party vendors such as Ugreen for about $13) can refill the battery in roughly 1.5 hours. The standard G37 sticks with the 5 200 mAh pack, which still offers a full day of mixed usage.
Both phones retain Gorilla Glass 7i protection and boast an MIL‑STD‑810H certification, meaning they have passed basic drop and vibration tests. Motorola also offers three Pantone‑curated colour finishes, giving buyers a bit of personal flair.
How the G37 stacks up against the competition
In India’s crowded $200‑$300 segment, the G37’s main rivals are the Realme 12 Pro+, Samsung Galaxy M34 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro. Compared to those:
- Display – The G37’s 120 Hz LCD edges out the 60‑90 Hz panels on the Redmi Note 13 Pro and Samsung M34, and matches the Realme 12 Pro+.
- Processor – Dimensity 6300 sits between the Snapdragon 732G (used in the Redmi) and the MediaTek Helio G99 (found in the M34). Expect solid day‑to‑day performance but limited high‑end gaming capability.
- Camera – A 50 MP main sensor is competitive; the Realme 12 Pro+ offers a 64 MP shooter, but Motorola’s sensor is paired with a simpler secondary lens, which may affect low‑light versatility.
- Battery – The G37 Power’s 7 000 mAh cell outlasts all three rivals, while the standard G37 still beats the Redmi and Samsung models.
- Software – Motorola’s near‑stock Android experience is cleaner than Samsung’s One UI and Realme’s UI, though the lack of a clear update policy could be a drawback.
Who should consider the Moto G37 series?
- Budget‑conscious power users who need a large screen and high refresh rate for media consumption will appreciate the G37’s smooth 120 Hz display without paying flagship prices.
- Heavy‑day commuters who value endurance above all should gravitate toward the G37 Power, especially if they can pick up a 30 W charger cheaply.
- Fans of a clean Android UI will find Motorola’s software less cluttered than many competitors, making the devices feel more polished.
- Anyone who still uses a wired headset will be glad to see the 3.5 mm jack retained, a feature increasingly rare in this price bracket.
What’s missing?
Motorola has not disclosed pricing, nor have they confirmed how many Android version upgrades the G37 line will receive. In a market where software longevity can sway purchasing decisions, the lack of a clear roadmap may deter some buyers.
Bottom line
The Moto G37 and Moto G37 Power bring a solid mix of a high‑refresh display, respectable camera hardware and a surprisingly large battery to the Indian mid‑range market. While they do not push the envelope in raw performance, they offer a balanced package that should appeal to users who prioritize screen fluidity, battery life and a clean Android experience.
