Motorola’s Moto G8 Plus is the latest G-series device from the budget phone manufacturer. It’s the latest in a series of smartphones with previous entries that have been some of the best budget smartphones you can currently buy. The biggest improvements come with the phone’s camera, which has been bumped up from a dual rear camera to a triple-camera array. Alongside the G8 Plus, Motorola has also announced the Motorola One Macro and Moto E6 Play. The devices will be coming to Europe, but not the US.
The £239 (€269) Moto G8 Plus comes with three rear cameras, a main 48-megapixel f/1.7 camera, a 2-megapixel f/2.2 depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide angle camera with a 117-degree field of view. There’s also a laser autofocus sensor on the back, while on the front of the device there’s a 25-megapixel selfie camera enclosed within a small notch above the phone’s 6.3-inch 1080p display.
Motorola has also increased the size of the battery inside of the G8 Plus compared to the G7 Plus. It’s now 4,000mAh, making it a 1,000mAh increase over its predecessor’s 3,000mAh, and it includes 15W TurboPower fast charging. Internally, the phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable with up to 512GB of microSD card storage. The phone will be available starting on October 28th in the UK.
