Camera hardware sees a notable upgrade this year as well, with both models using a 50 MP Sony LYT-600 primary sensor, paired with a 5 MP ultra-wide. Meanwhile, selfies are handled by a 32 MP front camera. Motorola also includes AI-powered photo enhancements and Google Photos editing tools out of the box.

Moto g17 and Moto g17 Power Pricing
The Moto g17 and g17 Power are launching first in select EMEA markets. The Moto g17 starts at around 149.99 pounds (approximately Rs 19,000) in the UK for the base variant.
Meanwhile, the Moto g17 Power is priced higher at around 229 euros (approximately Rs 25,000) in Europe, justified by its larger battery and faster charging.
Sadly, Motorola hasn't revealed anything about the India launch of the Moto g17 and g17 Power. However, since the Moto g15 and Moto g15 Power didn't make it to India, we don't have a lot of hope in this regard.
