Moto G Power (2022)
The updated model from the popular Motorola line of phones, the 2022 Moto G Power offers a 6.5" screen, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, large, 5,000 mAh battery, and octa-core processor. It comes with Android 11 and a 50MP rear camera system. While it is a little underpowered compared to previous models, it is still a great device and the price quickly dropped below $100 for such a recently released device (originally retailed for just under $200). Read our Moto G Power 2022 review to learn more.

Moto G Stylus (2021)
Go big on a budget with this mid-level smartphone that offers a 6.8" screen, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage and octa-core Snapdragon processor. Yes, it's about 2 years old, but it is the most powerful phone in this list and under $100 (at least for now). The Stylus 2021 also features a 48MP quad camera system and 4,000 mAh battery. It comes with Android 10, but there should be an upgrade to at least Android 11 available. The Snapdragon 678 processor in the phone is actually more powerful than the processor in the 2022 version, so for those that want power, this is a great budget option.
