Android version and market relevance

New smartphone from the company Motorola got the name Motorola Moto G8 Power and was announced in February 2020 (see all new smartphones 2020). This model is released in the series of smartphones Motorola Moto.

Smartphone Motorola Moto G8 Power works out of the box under the operating system Android version 10. Not every android smartphone boasts that it can be updated to a newer version, but in our case the model Motorola Moto G8 Power updated to Android version 11 (look in the catalog all smartphones on Android 11).

In addition the Motorola Moto G8 Power — is a smartphone for 2 SIM cards, which is ideal if you use the services of several mobile operators. But this model has one weak point — it does not support 5G networks, which can significantly increase the speed of receiving and sending data to the network. If such a requirement for a smartphone is relevant for you today, then we have collected in the catalog all smartphones with support for 5G networks at any price and from different manufacturers.

Screen, body and battery

Briefly describe the screen and the body of the smartphone. Motorola Moto G8 Power received IPS LCD-screen measuring 6.4 inches. And this is a phablete, not just a smartphone. And, even if you liked this model, it′s far from the fact that it will be convenient for you to use it. Therefore, we advise you to hold it in your hands before buying.

And now let’s move on to describing the dimensions of the case. The ratio of screen size to body size of Motorola Moto G8 Power is very high, so the screen takes up almost all the space from edge to edge (but a little bit lacking to the parameters of a frameless smartphone). In addition, there is a small hole at the top of the screen, which houses a selfie camera. Such a cutout significantly increases the usable area of the smartphone screen and even distinguishes the body design from other models. The thickness of the smartphone Motorola Moto G8 Power is 9.6 mm. This model, you can call “fat”, because today many smartphones with thinner cases are already being manufactured. And in such dimensions the engineers managed to put the battery on 5 000 mAh, that just mega-cool for such a device. The operating time on one battery charge will exceed all your expectations.

Main camera and selfie camera

Take photos and videos on smartphone Motorola Moto G8 Power possible on the main camera (16 MP Wide + 8 MP Telephoto + 8 MP UltraWide + 2 MP Macro) and on the front camera (16 MP Wide). We tried to group all smartphones in the catalog into segments and this model with such a main camera got in the middle segment. This is not a very bad camera, but it is no longer a top camera. If you want to buy a smartphone with a really cool camera, then look in the catalog page with camera phones.

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in Motorola Moto G8 Power is installed 8-core processor on the chipset Snapdragon 665. As for RAM, the memory module is used here 4 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications both on the built-in smartphone memory, and on memory cards microSDXC. You are only available 64 GB built-in memory, so you need to be more careful about what you store on the device.

And, finally, on the performance of the processor, this model is very powerful with a very capacious battery here.

Having dealt with the average characteristics, it remains to understand whether it is worth all the declared price of $170 (without taxes and fees). Here everyone makes a choice for himself and evaluates all the pros and cons.
