Our quick take

Motorola Moto G8 Plus - 4.0 / 5

Refined design

  • Dimensions: 158.35 x 75.83 x 9.09mm / Weight: 188g Finishes: Cosmic Blue or Crystal Pink Water repellent design (not IP rated) Rear-positioned fingerprint scanner microSD card support 3.5mm jack

Display & Notch

  • 6.3-inch Full HD+ (2280 x 1080 resolution) LCD display 19:9 aspect ratio with dewdrop notch

Performance & Battery

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor (2.0Ghz octa-core), 4GB RAM 4,000mAh battery, 15W TurboPower charging (included in the box) Android Pie OS, including Moto app (for Display, Voice, Actions)

How many cameras?

  • Main camera: 48-megapixel (Quad Pixel tech for 12MP results), f/1.7 aperture, 1.6µm pixel size Ultra-wide ‘Action Cam’: 16MP, f/2.2 aperture, 2.0µm pixel size Depth sensor: 5MP, f/2.2 aperture, 1.12µm pixel size Selfie camera: 25MP (Quad Pixel for 6MP results)

To recap

Strong battery life, refined design over its predecessor and ample performance show the G8 Plus has progressed. But while its problems are few and far between, the cheaper G8 Power delivers much the same (minus the 48MP camera) with better battery life for less - making that the Moto to buy.
