The 2024 G Power has a better processor. The 2026 is even worse losing wireless charging. Every new generation after 2024 seems to get worse.
The problem with buying any older generation Android is how many updates you will get. 2025 gets you to Android 17, your good for at least about 3 years of security updates as well. 2024 your already at EOL in the next year meaning your phone is unlikely to get any security updates soon and your basically at the will of the Play Store to issue any updates for the apps on it.
Most people are not going to see the difference between processors -- that has been the case for a while now (same goes for PC's, unless your buying a total bottom of the barrel CPU, your not going to notice the difference between 3.5Ghz and 5Ghz because the bottlenecks are in I/O.
Wireless charging has already proven itself to reduce the life of the phones components, reducing the charging rate is likely because of a heat issue. Wireless charging should be the least charging you do for your phone, like when in the car.
One of the biggest pro's for the 2025 version is you can use the phone as a desktop computer. Just plug it into a compatible monitor or one of those USB-C hubs with USB and HDMI and bam. Desktop mode Android which just keeps getting better and better. If most of your apps are online (Office 365, Google Workspace) then you are probably covered for about 99% of the actual work you do on a computer not to mention just browsing the web and social media -- but with a bigger screen and keyboard + mouse.

I honestly don't understand why Moto phones are advertised here. The Moto G Power can't even handle basic apps like Robinhood or Google Maps ... it freezes, lags, and is painfully slow.

meanwhile my 2021 moto g power is still doing just fine with those. maybe review what else you have going on with the phone.
