Product Information

This brings the G8 level with our current budget pick: the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T, which comes as no surprise considering they’re both powered by the Snapdragon 665. If you’re relatively light touch with your phone, you should find this device will last for a full two days from a single charge.

Detail capture is especially crisp but, if I was pushed for criticism, I would say that the Moto G8’s images are a touch over-processed, although not distractingly so. For handsets that claim they sport phase detection autofocus, they got schooled by the Lite model in that department.It’s odd the company didn’t choose to offer a black option, but we enjoyed the deep blue shade of our device. The Moto G8 Power packs a Snapdragon 665 chipset and 4GB of RAM, which enables casual browsing, media bingeing, and game playing without any slowdown. This isn’t really a problem – it’s not a common motion, and the phone comes with a free (albeit pretty ugly) plastic case if it bothers you. The G8 Power will see you through two days easily, and in an era where USB-C cables are plentiful that’s really all you need.

Running for 22hrs 27mins in our standard battery test, this is definitely big on stamina, and in fact makes it the 14th best performing phone battery we’ve ever seen. This isn’t going to give you top photographs that will compete with flagship phones like the Samsung Galaxy S20 or iPhone 11, but it can hold its own when fighting other phones at the low end of the market.

The aperture (f-stop number) indicates the size of the lens diaphragm opening, which controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor. The rear of the Moto G8 features a physical fingerprint scanner that is slightly embedded into the phone. Sensors Different sensors measure different physical quantities and convert them into signals recognizable by the mobile device.

The key selling point of the G8 Power Lite is, as the name suggests, its battery capacity: with a 5,000mAh power pack this is a phone that’s built to keep going for a long time, and thanks to its middling chipset and low screen resolution, it’ll see you through two days of use in a pinch.

It has a plastic frame and rear, so it isn’t going to feel as svelte in your hands as a modern day flagship phone like the Motorola Edge Plus does. The cheaper models are outfitted with 8MP selfie shooters, while the G8 Power carries a 16MP front camera. If you’re looking for a phone that will display videos in all their glory, this isn’t going to be it.
