Motorola Moto G8 Plus review

Far removed from the Moto G that got the series started in 2013, the Moto G8 Plus we have for you today aims to keep up with the times with a big display,...

Excellent battery life, particularly where it matters most - screen-on tasks.

While it does get reasonably bright, the display has several flaws (bluish whites in all modes, black illumination when looking it at an angle, and uneven backlighting along the edges).

Having said that, there are bits about the Moto G8 Plus that make it hard to recommend wholeheartedly. It's the display that has us put off the most, and the ultra-wide video camera doesn't really get us excited either. If you have the option to go for...

It's hard to fault at this price

Excellent battery life ; Headphone jack ; Sensible Android tweaks ; Solid day-to-day performance

Moto G8 Plus Review

Motorola is back with another adequately priced mid-range phone, the Motorola G8 Plus. While it isn't officially available in the US, it costs around 250 euro in Europe. Does it deliver good value for that kind of money? I tested it for a week to find...

Excellent battery life; The price is good; Snappy fingerprint sensor

Limited availability; The Action camera can’t take photos; The LCD display is not good

Motorola Moto G8 Plus review: Lacking polish

The Moto G8 Plus is an interesting option for users looking for a near-stock Android experience on a budget. It brings all-day battery life, an interesting action camera setup, and reliable performance to the mid-range segment. However, devices by...

Clean Android build ; Good usability ; Sturdy build quality ; Unique action camera

Fingerprint and smudge magnet ; Camera quality is sub par ; Performance is only passable

Moto G8 Plus Review: Decent Smartphone With Versatile Camera Features

There was a time when the Moto G series smartphones had quite a reputation in the sub-15K market. Well, times have changed and the competition in the budget is fiercer than ever. As an answer to the dominant Chinese brands in the segment, Motorola has...

Action Camera ; Stock Android ; Good Display ; Decent Battery

No Wide Angle Camera ; Average Performance

The Moto G8 Plus is by no means a bad product. It is priced very well and comes with a unique feature like the Action camera alongside the pure Android experience. However, there a few things that hold back the camera from being at par with the...

Motorola G8 Plus review: more Moto for the mid-range

The Motorola G8 Plus enters a crowded market. Once a signal of a good quality Android on a budget, where does the G8 Plus sit among the Motorola One range?

No bloatware, early updates ; Good cameras ; 3.5 mm headphone jack ; Long battery life

No NFC ; No Wi-Fi 5 support ; Slow flash memory

The mid-range of the smartphone market is exhausting at the moment. If you have between £200 and £400 pounds to spend on a new phone, you have a wealth of good options. With the Moto G8 Plus, Motorola has freshened up its offering in this crowded...

Moto G8 Plus Review: Another affordable winner from Motorola?

The Moto G8 Plus is the latest flagship affordable Android phone from Motorola, but does it do enough to differentiate itself in an already stuffed market?

Good value for money;Ticks all the right boxes for most people;Best speakers you'll find on a mid-range phone

Not a huge update on the G7 Plus;Camera has a few annoying limitations

Moto G8 Plus review

Moto G8 Plus follows the G7 Plus, which was arrived just eight months earlier – is that too early for an upgrade?

Versatile triple camera system Stereo speakers Impressive battery system

Average performance Cameras need further tuning Can't take wide-angle pictures

The Moto G8 Plus brings more power to the table with a versatile camera system array, stereo speakers, minimal bezels and an efficient battery management system. It's a competent budget device, although it's got a few problems.
