The first good Moto G Power (2025) deal is here to make a budget battery champ even more attractive

Phone Arena10-07-2025
Released with surprisingly little fanfare back in February, the latest addition to the hugely popular Moto G Power line of big-battery Android mid-rangers is only now available at its first-ever discount in a "made for US" unlocked variant with no carrier restrictions. That's pretty odd when you consider that our Moto G Power (2025) review a few months ago identified the $299.99 list price as one of the handset's biggest weaknesses, but the thing that matters the most right now is you can finally save a solid 40 bucks with (almost) no strings attached.
5G, Unlocked, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, Android 15, MediaTek Dimensity 6300 Processor, 6.8-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2388 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 50 + 8MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 16MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery, 30W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Support, IP68 and IP69 Water Resistance, Military-Grade Durability, Vegan Leather Finish, Two Color Options, Amazon Prime Membership Required This offer is not available in your area. You do (obviously) need an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of this sweet Prime Day 2025 deal, and although the e-commerce giant's special summer sales event is technically scheduled to run until the end of tomorrow, July 11, you might want to hurry and place your order today to avoid potential stock depletion ahead of time. After all, this is clearly one of the best budget 5G phones around (especially at a nice little discount) despite some undeniable flaws like a rather mediocre MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor and an unimpressive (even by sub-$300 standards) dual rear-facing camera system composed of 50 and 8MP sensors. On the whole, however, the Moto G Power (2025) has an arguably larger number of key strengths than weak points, starting with a remarkably attractive and robust design and ending with the epic signature battery life of all devices released by Motorola under the G Power banner.
Unfortunately, the phone's long-term software support is... unlikely to be as epic, but on the decidedly bright side, the 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen impressively comes with 120Hz refresh rate capabilities. The 30W wired and 15W wireless charging speeds of the hefty 5,000mAh battery are also nothing to sneeze at, further contributing to an overall value proposition Samsung's latest Galaxy A-series mid-rangers, for instance, cannot rival. The vegan leather finish, IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H certifications of the 2025 Moto G Power are unmatched by the likes of the Galaxy A16 and Galaxy A36 as well, making this a killer bargain like basically no other, at least for the time being.

This humongous new sale slashes $150 off all 2025 iPad Air models with Apple M3 power

Do I stand by my recommendation from earlier today of a 2024-released iPad Air 11 variant with 128GB storage and built-in cellular connectivity at a towering $250 discount? Absolutely. But because I realize that may not be the best tablet for every type of buyer out there, I'm already back to tell you about an exceptional alternative... or ten. Obviously, the Apple M3-powered iPad Air 11 and iPad Air 13 released around five months ago are faster... and costlier than their predecessors, but if you hurry, you can get your favorite model at an unrivaled price as well. 128GB Storage, Wi-Fi Only, Apple M3 Processor, Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2360 x 1640 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, Top-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner, All-Day Battery Life, Landscape Stereo Speakers, Two Microphones, USB Type-C Port, Multiple Color Options Buy at Amazon 128GB Storage, Wi-Fi Only, Apple M3 Processor, Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2732 x 2048 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, Top-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner, All-Day Battery Life, Landscape Stereo Speakers, Two Microphones, USB Type-C Port, Multiple Color Options Buy at Amazon The cheapest 11-inch iPad Air (2025) configuration, for instance, would normally set you back $599, going $150 off its list price in all colorways on Amazon right now. The same $150 markdown applies to an entry-level 13-inch iPad Air (M3) variant that's typically available for $799, and in fact, you can save a cool 150 bucks across the board at the time of this writing. This is a record high discount, mind you, for a lot of 2025 iPad Airs, and it pretty much goes without saying that you don't need an Amazon Prime membership or to jump through any other hoops whatsoever to be eligible for these unprecedented deals. While I still prefer the older 11-inch edition at an even heftier discount, it's hard to dispute the appeal of such an ultra-affordable current-generation Apple device as that Wi-Fi-only iPad Air 11 (2025) with 128 gigs of internal storage space. The 2025 iPad Air may not look different from its 2024 predecessor at first glance, but it is faster. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena We're talking about a cheaper tablet here than Samsung's mid-range Galaxy Tab S10 FE with no built-in stylus, but a considerably more powerful processor under the hood. And excellent battery life. And outstanding sound. And stellar long-term software support. And a way lower price point than Apple's undeniably superior iPad Pro (M4) generation. Yes, this is a rare opportunity to maximize the value of an already objectively great product (or two), and you may well end up hating yourself if you miss out on it.

Yes, the redesign is bad. But have you tried using Android Auto without it crashing?

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot, as the one and only Charlie Chaplin once said. That's how I feel about the latest Android Auto update that got so many people agitated: Android Auto's new look is here, but not everyone's on board "Not everyone's on board" is the politically correct way to describe emotions over at the "Horrible UI redesign" Reddit thread at the Android Auto subreddit (hence the AA abbreviation).But how much of a tragedy are we speaking about here? What has changed so drastically that got people fuming with anger? As it turns out, it's just a design touch-up that changes the following when listening to music: A gray background now replaces the sampling of the album art The seekbar is relocated and looks shorter than before Which results in a display with way too much empty space, small, unpractical playback buttons and a dull background – that's what people who don't like it say about quite honestly, they're not lying. Image by Google That may be just me, but I think that when you're driving, it's great to have your eyes on the road ahead, behind and sideways simultaneously. It's great to be alive, let's keep it that way. That being said, it's of vital importance to me to listen to music while driving. Now, how do we combine driving safely (with eyes exclusively on the road) and the option to play, pause and change tracks at the same time?But, of course, by all means – let's have as much dead space on the media player screen! Why bother putting large, easy to operate buttons? What's more, why not change the way things look – and not for any practical reason, but just out of curiosity? If people don't like it, we'll surely listen to their feedback and revert things to the way they last part was a bit sarcastic, to be honest. But you know what I'm talking was the close-up. If we change perspectives – and take a few steps back – it's a different picture altogether. Top is before and bottom is after. | Image credit — @Adil15101 At the end of the day, it's a background that no longer mimics the colors of the album art we're dealing with here. No more pink, blue, orange colors – just a plain gray background. We're not talking about the music player suddenly crashing, or static noise coming out of the a fine line between getting angry about things that are worth getting angry about and situations where our angst is futile, and we end up hurting ourselves and not "the enemy".The only solution I can think of right now (maybe this will change in the future) is to get aggravated about the things we don't like (let's raise our voices!), but certainly not to get carried away and overinvest our emotions and – most importantly – our time. We have to bash our heads against the wall, but we've got to know when to do it and when to terms of Android Auto, this should mean that everyone who dislikes this new update, should make their opinion known to Google. Whether Big Tech would pay you and me any attention is another matter. Image by Google Habits do define and form our opinions. For example, I prefer gray/black backgrounds and find the color-adapting background mode lacking in taste. But, hey, that's just me. That's probably because I'm used to having gray/black monochrome backgrounds on my gadgets' is, I suspect people will just adjust and adapt to new design (if a miracle doesn't happen and Google reverts things back to the way they were). It's in our nature, for good or there are real AA (Android Auto) concerns – far more severe than a background's color or the position of a one quick glance at the Android Auto subreddit reveals all kinds of horrors. For example, one recurring challenge involves wireless connectivity failures and unexpected phone reboots. These problems seem tied to updates 13.4 and 13.5, deployed in January and February. Several Reddit users described situations where their phones restarted during calls, while streaming music, or even when the device was addition to these wireless complications, users have reported problems invoking Google Assistant via Android Auto. Commands triggered by voice or steering wheel prompts cause the audio to stop momentarily, but the assistant fails to process the command and the system immediately resumes playing music. Typical troubleshooting steps – such as clearing cache or reinstalling the app –have not consistently resolved the issue highlighted in Reddit discussions involves frequent connection drops, occurring both over wireless setups and USB cables. Some users report that their Android Auto system connects for a short period – sometimes just minutes – before disconnecting. This happens regardless of cable type or phone model. So, as much as I hate when companies make unnecessary design changes (why alter something if it works?) and throw us back to the adapting and adjusting stage, I can't ignore the other pressing AA issues. If, however, this minor design change will help Google in any way to make things more stable and less prone to connectivity issues, then and only then the new dull outlook would be worth it. Time will tell!
