Smart sharp and supercharged Moto g67 powers up
MUMBAI: Looks like Motorola just turned up the charge. The tech brand has unleashed the moto g67 Power, a sub- Rs 15,000 smartphone that’s practically buzzing with energy, and style. With a whopping 7000mAh battery, a 50MP Sony Lytia 600 camera, and a sleek Pantone-curated vegan leather design, this one’s got both stamina and swagger.
Launching at an effective price of Rs 14,999, the moto g67 Power is geared for those who live life unplugged. The phone’s silicon carbon battery promises up to 58 hours of runtime on a single charge, making low-battery anxiety a thing of the past.
But it’s not just about endurance. The handset flexes a Snapdragon 7s gen 2 chip, 8GB RAM (expandable to 24GB), and 128GB storage, ensuring a lag-free experience whether you’re gaming, streaming, or toggling between 27 tabs at once. Connectivity-wise, it’s no slouch either, offering support for 11 5G bands, VoNR, and Wi-Fi 6.
Camera buffs get plenty to click about. The moto g67 Power boasts the segment’s best 50MP Sony LYTIA 600 sensor, 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 32MP selfie camera, all capable of 4K recording. Add Motorola’s AI photo tricks like auto night vision and AI-powered portraits, and your social feed might just start looking like a mini film festival.
Durability is another headline act. With corning gorilla glass 7i, MIL-STD-810H military-grade testing, and IP64 water resistance, this phone could probably survive a clumsy tumble or two, and still look good doing it.
Entertainment-wise, the 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz display dazzles with 1050 nits brightness, while dolby atmos dual speakers bring the bass to your binge sessions.
Available in cilantro green, parachute beige, and blue curacao, the moto g67 Power goes on sale from 12 November on Flipkart, Motorola.in, and at leading retail stores.
As Motorola India managing director T.M. Narasimhan put it, “The moto g67 Power delivers the best camera and battery experience under Rs 15,000, a powerful blend of performance, innovation, and style.”
With its marathon battery, polished design, and AI smarts, Motorola’s latest might just be the pocket powerhouse to beat this season.

AI becomes key tool for Indian travellers, Agoda report finds
68 per cent plan to use AI for trips as 33 per cent already rely on it.
MUMBAI: Holiday planning is getting a software upgrade less “Where should we go?” and more “What does the algorithm say?” Indian travellers are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence to map their journeys, with new data from Agoda’s 2026 Travel Outlook Report suggesting that AI is fast becoming central to how trips are imagined, planned and booked.
While 33 per cent of respondents said they already use AI tools for travel planning, a far larger 68 per cent indicated they are likely to rely on it for their next trip pointing to a sharp acceleration in adoption in a market already comfortable with digital-first travel.
What travellers want from AI, however, goes well beyond basic search. The report shows 38 per cent are looking for recommendations on local attractions and activities, while 37 per cent expect personalised itineraries. Destination discovery remains a key use case at 29 per cent, with dining suggestions (23 per cent) and budget management (22 per cent) also emerging as practical applications.
The shift reflects a broader change in expectations AI is no longer a novelty but a planning companion expected to work across every stage of the journey, from inspiration to execution.
Trust levels appear to be keeping pace. Nearly 88 per cent of respondents said they either trust or feel neutral about AI-generated recommendations, including 53 per cent who expressed clear confidence. This builds on earlier trends, with Agoda’s 2025 survey showing nine in ten Indian travellers already using apps to book travel suggesting AI adoption is more evolution than disruption.
The company has been testing this appetite through initiatives such as its 2025 AI-powered Vacation Planner campaign, which generated customised itineraries and visuals based on user inputs, delivered with a layer of celebrity-led engagement.
For platforms like Agoda, which aggregates more than 6 million properties, over 130,000 flight routes and 300,000 travel activities, AI offers a way to navigate scale without overwhelming users turning abundance into relevance.
As AI continues to embed itself into everyday decision-making, India is emerging as a market where travel planning is not just going digital, but decisively intelligent.
