About this deal

Still, you could legitimately argue that this is grumbling over nothing. 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. In any case, it comfortably beats the Moto G8 Plus by a good five hours, with that extra 1,000mAh really coming into play. Motorola Moto G8 Power review: Camera The differences between the two are equally obvious as soon as the light begins to fade. In my indoor, low-light test scene, The Moto G8 managed to boost the brightness more effectively than the G7, without capturing an overly warm-looking image. Neither picture is frame-worthy, sure, but the G8 is miles better in this scenario. The Moto G8 Power Lite’s screen has a 20:9 aspect ratio, which means it’s relatively tall and thin compared to other devices. This contributes to the fact that, as mentioned it can be a little unwieldy in the hand, but it does mean you can see more content on-screen. Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance.

Motorola does bring its own tweaks to the Android formula, mainly in the way of its gesture shortcuts – among other things you can make a double-karate chop motion to turn on the flashlight, rotate your wrist twice to open the camera app, and turn the phone up-side-down to activate do-not-disturb mode. instead, the Moto G Power's third rear lens is a 2MP f/2.2 macro camera, which is designed for taking photos from just inches away. You’ll probably use this to take detailed shots of flora and fauna – most likely, flowers and pets – and it performs well for this, producing sharper up-close photos than, say, the Motorola Edge Plus. It’s worth pointing out that the macro lens also captures video, although we didn’t spend much time with it. In terms of video recording, you can shoot in 1080p despite not being able to view it on the phone. There’s no option to change the frame rate, so we’d imagine it sits at a baseline 30fps, and you don’t get any of the various modes available on some other handsets, such as ‘short video’ or slow motion. The fact it’s a Motorola phone also means the Moto G8 Power gets Motorola’s signature Android overlay, and it’s just as welcome here as it is in the brand’s other phones. While we mostly love it for the gesture shortcuts (chop-chop to turn on flashlight, twist twice to pop open the camera app, and more), we also appreciate other customization features like the option to turn off notifications while you’re gaming.The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute. Much like that phone, the Moto G8 was able to run all of the apps we wanted it to but it will take a little longer than you’ll be used to if you’ve had a more expensive phone in the past.

In general terms, unless you’re particularly sensitive to colour accuracy, you’ll find this an improvement overall. For my money, the increased contrast, brightness and resolution is more important than the dip in colour accuracy, but it is important to note that the G8 Plus is probably stronger overall. Motorola Moto G8 Power review: Performance The macro camera, as is the case with most macro snappers you find on smartphones, took pictures that weren’t as good as those taken with the main camera. Information about the number of pixels per centimeter (ppcm) or per inch (ppi) of the display. The higher the pixel density, the more detailed and clearer is the information displayed on the screen.

Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. Type/technology Information about the electric current (amperes) and voltage (volts) the charger outputs. The higher power output allows faster charging. Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. Of course, the G8 Power can be outdone – but you’d have to pay a significant amount more to outperform it with, say, the iPhone SE 2020, or to outshoot its cameras with the Google Pixel 3a. Moto G8 Power price and release date

Keep in mind that, yes, the Moto G8 Power and Moto G Power are nearly identical phones – it’s just called the latter in the US. While that's a bit confusing, the phones are slightly different: in addition to main and ultrawide cameras, the Moto G8 Power has a telephoto 2x optical zoom rear camera while the Moto G Power has a macro lens. Also, the Moto G Power can connect to 5Ghz WiFi (aka 5G WiFi or 802.11ac), while the Moto G8 Power can only connect to 2.4Ghz spectrums. The Motorola G8 Power has a Snapdragon 665 chipset, which is a modest mid-range chip rather than being a world-beating powerhouse. In good lighting, the Moto G8’s camera is highly capable for this end of the market. It will struggle a little more when you’re shooting in low light, but it’s not really any worse than other handsets around this price.Porter, Jon (8 November 2019). "Motorola Moto G8 Plus review: a battery boost for the budget king". The Verge . Retrieved 20 January 2020. This phone comes running Android 10 software, and Motorola has a strong history of updating its handsets to the latest software for at least a few years after release. Well, while the original Moto G7 Power had just a single 12-megapixel (f/2.0) camera, the next generation gets a 16-megapixel (f1/.7) main sensor alongside three others. These are an 8-megapixel (f/2.2) telephoto lens with 2x zoom magnification, an 8-megapixel (f/2.2) ultrawide sensor and a 2-megapixel (f/2.2) macro camera. A clear win for the G8 Power, yes?
