[deleted post]Isnt also that what SD cards are for? Motorola is one of my few options because many companies decided to drop SD(XC) and settle on cloud solutions, which are NOT APPLICABLE for my need of storage.

The Helio G81 Ultra (12nm) chipset (SOC) is the pathetic part of this phone!
A cheap underpowered Dimensity 6300 even crushes this G81 chipset, and uses less power doing so. How much more could it actually cost Motorola to just put a Dimensity 6300 in this thing?

turbopower and similar only work with some brands of both and only combine well with the same usually, and if your phone fails to communicate to the charger or they just dont know each other it charges in slow charging mode, which can, yes, result in longer charging times. try to connect your phone to your pc and charge it then, this should charge fast, then see if it still calculates to 6 hours.
for me, it calcs to 2 hours, 2 and a half maybe. i use the turbopower from motorola, full 18W.
and above 80% it can recognize TP, but does not use it to not wear down the battery. nice, right?

Mobilemaster, 05 Sep 2025I just don't understand, if they put a big battery inside a phone, why they use ancient c... moreits pretty good. estimated charging time of 2 to 2 and a half hours with default use (25%-90%, my own calculation) is pretty neat. charge it every time you need during your sleep and you are off to go. and no, thats not bad in particular, it usually downscales back to 15W from 80% and upwards on, so that it doesnt wear down the battery as much. I use a similar phone since 5 years and the battery holds approx. 90% of the power it used to hold, it just discharges slightly faster.

Also, do not just charge from 0% on but start at 30% best, 20% works too. then it will charge faster, needs to charge less and doesnt degrade as much.

Anonymous, 07 Sep 2025At 18-watt charging, it will take about 1hr 55mins to charge this 7000mah battery (0-100%).
... moreThis is true for phones from companies that break the phone on purpose after this time worth of full charging. I have charged my old motorola full during many nights and it lasts since 5 or 6 years. Yes, i start charging when its evening and it has less than 70%, or when it reaches around 30, more often 20%.
It can wear out the battery, of course, but there is one thing that does worse damage in comparison: plugging out the charger before disconnecting the phone. this can cause severe issues if done too often.

At 18-watt charging, it will take about 1hr 55mins to charge this 7000mah battery (0-100%).
Anyone constantly charging their phone from 0-100% is a fool. The battery will only last about 20 months! Best for the battery to live between 30-80%.
Simple, charge this phone for 60 minutes (50% fill up) every 1-3 days and it'll work fine.
Use a Motorola 18W charger! Off brand chargers can ruin your battery quicker!
----------------------------------------------------------------
FYI:
A 15-Watt charger on a 5000 mah battery, charges 1% per minute. (1hr 40mins for 0%-100%)
An 18-Watt charger on a 6000 mah battery, charges 1% per minute. (1hr 40mins for 0%-100%)
I have a 68W Moto charger for an Edge 2023+ with 5100mah (amazing phone by the way),
I use 68W charging as little as possible (only if I forget to charge it), as it is too fast, which means too hot, which then degrades the battery quickly. I just pop a 15W charger for 30-45 minutes a day and I'm good to go. The battery will probably last over 5 years this way. Doubt I will have this phone then, but a poor battery won't force me to upgrade!

Anonymous, 05 Sep 202512nm Chipset? What? A relic from the dark ages??? Mediatek Helio G81 Ultra (12 nm) If you don't want a phone as a portable computer, but just for the basics, the processor is ok. The big disadvantage (which is obvious), is the charger's power. At least 33W with such a battery.

I remember when Moto G7 Power came out and its 5000 mAh battery was much bigger than anything else available on the market. I would never get such a heavy phone but as a one off, how about they get ahead of the other Chinese brands (BBK/Xiaomi/Huawei/Transsion), which are now at 8000 and planning for 10000, by building a phone with 11000, or even 16000 to get ahead of even the current ambitions of the other Chinese. Just this phone but with 16000 mAh and 17mm thickness and 400g to finally shush the people here asking for bigger and bigger batteries. And one variant with 11000 mAh and 12mm thickness and 300g weight. Shouldn’t cost that much, and if the phone is useless it can at least be used as a power bank for a good phone.
