Unlocked the bootloader and installed a GSI of Android 14. That was enough to convince me that it wasn't time to retire the G8 Power yet. The battery still gets me through the day easily.

Bought this model in 2021 solely because of its lasting battery. There's been four years now and the thing still rocks.
I was thinking about upgrading and getting a new one, but when I think about how a single charge lasts at least 3 days with some heavy use I'm like nah, this little beast is still good for a whole year at last.
(But then again I'm a kind of maniac about battery: phone is always in economy mode [made it default in the configs], virtually all notifications like facebook, gmail and whatsapp disabled [but I check them manually like each 30 minutes]; location and rotation always turned off [only turn on upon needing them, and turn off right away after finished using it]; greenify to kill any application running in background... some times a single charge can last about five days)

Terribly slow and needs to be booted too often due to lack of performance, stops esponding, I'm really disappointed.

This phone is a good midrange phone packed with reasonable number of features. But from recently it is dropping the sim signals probably due to its fauly software / hardwire especially antenna or software issue. Has anyone experienced same and resolved that.

The spec info above isn't entirely correct. There is a US version and a Euro version. I accidentally bought the US version from Amazon.co.uk, returned it when I realised and bought a UK version. The US version only has 3 cameras, not 4. The case size is also slightly taller than 156mm, about 162, and various sockets etc are in different places, making it hard to get a case that fits in the UK. The Motorola website has layout diagrams for the buttons and sockets for both versions, so you can compare the physical differences.
The US version updated to Android 11 and worked in the UK, but the UK version so far will not update to Android 11.

I thought my battery was failing - progressively over a week or so wouldn't charge over about 60% and lost charge quite quickly, then wouldn't charge over 35%, then wouldn't charge over 20%, but turned out it was the cable on the charger that had developed a fault. When I changed to a different charger cable, it went back to charging to 100% and holding the charge better...

Hi, Ive really enjoyed this phone for the last 4 years. Battery has now died completely all of a sudden, with a bit of glitching and freezing in the last few weeks.
Confused as to what newer model is the best option now - some seem to have worse specs?
And so many models with all the G, Es and random numbers?
Help?

The Motorola Moto G8 Power received positive reviews for its impressive battery life thanks to its large capacity of 5000 mAh. In addition, it stands out for its decent screen, solid performance and systems.

I have been using this phone for three years now and have not had any problems with it at all. I am on my phone all the time, using two Sims and 64 gig memory card.

Had this phone for a year an had 3 broken screens during that period. I have never had a broken screen on any smartphone previously. DO NOT BUY. Look in GSMARENA for another Motorola device that specifies in the Display section, that has a Protection like Gorilla Glass or similar.

Team17, 27 Oct 2022Does anyone know if this phone bought in France works in the USA please?I am using one in the USA. You will need to have it unlocked to use a USA SIM card. I did buy mine in the USA, don't know if there are any differences.
I also have a UK SIM card in the second slot and that works fine too.

I have been using this Motorola Moto G8 Power phone for more than two years. It works great. It will still work in two or three years.
