Motorola Moto G8 Review | Another Solid Sub-£200 Budget Phone?
Review of the Motorola Moto G8, yet another smartphone entry to the budget-friendly G-series of 2020. I’ve been testing the Moto G8 as my personal handset for a few days and here’s how the camera tech, performance, battery life and other bits stack up.
The ever-growing range of cheap Motorola mobiles is getting ever more complicated, so check out my comparison of the full family to see which is best for you. I’ve also rounded up my favourite budget smartphones under £200 if your funds are a bit tight.
The Motorola G8 is one of the more affordable handsets in the series, costing less than the Power and Plus models. You have a 720p display instead of Full HD, plus no stereo speaker setup, but the performance is still provided by a Snapdragon 665 platform – backed by 4GB RAM. Battery life is good too, although the Power does offer a stronger return with its 5000mAh cell.
That triple-lens rear camera is unsurprisingly limited, but the Moto G8 can still take good looking photos in respectable lighting. Motorola’s AI features are back on board to help as well.
So that’s my full review, and check out my unboxings and verdicts on the other G-series phones of 2020 to see how they compare.
What is best samsung a21s vs motorola g8??
Is that of mice & men i see on the phone? Noiceee
The motorola G8 is a literal downgrade from motorola G6. On G6, there is NFC, dual band wifi, glass back. The only difference is the slightly less bezel. ridiculous!
"It didn't piss me off the entire time I was using it" Surprisingly high praise for a sub £200 phone!
Is it laggy when running the latest version of Google map?
I had a g7 for 2 weeks but it got ran over by a car lol
Is it waterproof?
my dad has this
Whats the music at the end?
Who is watching on a moto g8
Does it have mods for the phones
Can this device take raw photos?
Made by Lenovo
No NFC, no 5 ghz wifi, no night mode for the camera. Commercial suicide
720p for 200 pounds… Lol you must be joking
If the device comes with A10 pre-installed does that mean it will most likely receive A11?
I can't get my G8 Power to cast to TV. I have a Netgear PVT3000, and when I try to cast it says "available", then "connected", but switches back to "available" and never connects, never casts to TV. Worked fine on my Axon ZTE. Any idea why my G8 Power won't cast to TV?
Does it have any led notification light please?
$399 is budget?1 god help us!
Why moto G8 series is not available in India ???????
I'd like to point out that this phone supports HDR10. I just bought one for my grandparents, and I was surprised that it supports HDR videos (e.g.: the Motorola One Zoom doesn't support it, yet it costs 400+ EUR, and this phone was only 150 EUR (discounted from 200 EUR)). No doubt best price/value for 150 EUR.
I'm done with Motorola. 720p screen? You're having a laugh!
Bought this for my mum. Great dependable phone for folks that do not want/need that much tech.
I'm still waiting for android 10 on g8 plus
Sir,I on behalf of all my fellow otakus, wants to know where do you get such wonderful and beautiful wallpapers from?
Hoping you can help me decide which phone to go for. I cant make up my mind between the G8 Plus or the One Action. G8 plus is slightly more expensive, but doesnt seem to have as good CPU and GPU? One Action is lacking that battery oomf and fast charging. Please help!
my favorite line of affordable basic and clean Android phones. Been buying it for my mom and wife for a while 😉
Best £200 phone?
Hi Chris, I recently bought this Moto G8 and am currently using the clear case that came in box. I'd prefer a better sturdier case but can only find ones for the G8 Power / Plus. Do you know where I can get a good case?
Thanks mate!
Xperia L4, please
Please can u confirm if the moto G8 power phone cases/wallets will fit the Moto g8. Having serious difficulties finding a case for the moto g8
Where do you get your wallpapers from?
How about the Huawei p smart z? £150 1080p display, pop up selfie and dual rear camera. Worth it?
