Agree with all the specs except for the processor. The Snapdragon 730G is not even fit for the gaming needs.
My moto G8 plus had android 9 when I bought it back in 2019 and it was just updated to android 10 last week. Great phone for the price but don't expect regular updates. I assume they consider the initial low price when they know some buyers will get a new phone when android 12 comes out

I believe the award for messing up good camera sensors goes to Sony, which is a shame considering that they make some of the best sensors for phones.
Doesn't feel worth the money.
The plastic unibody probably will make some heating issues since the mainframe is not aluminum, heat dissipation is gonna be shot.
The camera setup is kinda meh, only the main sensor is useful the rest is repeated garbage that every brand puts into phones to rise the camera count.
$273 against other global phones like realme 6pro and poco x3 with better stuff and lower price? Nah pass
I never came across such an in-depth review of a gadget. Even as a layman reader who has no great idea on gadgets i felt it a good article. I appreciate the effort by gsmarena team.
Making the LED flash imitate a XENON flash...
Nice try Moto, er Lenovo...
Is motorola a known company like xiaomi or it is unkown
It is a security threat ? Bcuz I heard it is from usa ? Is that true
Anonymous, 18 Oct 2020This costs barely anything..Probably Xiaomi is cheaper in his country.
In my case this phone is same privé as Poco X3 64gb, but I prefer more clean android look above what Xiaomi offers.

KondriX, 18 Oct 2020I guess compass is used only when using GPS for walking? Maybe not a lot of users need it. Ever use Google Maps ? Especially when you are in a place you've never been before ? If you travel or trek ....

I don't understand how Motorola manages to continuously fall behind almost every brand (even Realme) in the camera's image processing part.

[deleted post]Fake news. G8 Plus got Android 10 in Europe, Brazil, and Mexico last month. If you are in region which still didn't receive update, and your phone is retail version (not carrier branded one), you can manually update - go on xda for it.

Jeroux43, 17 Oct 2020NoThought as much.
GSMArena should include "Sensors" in the review specs.
Wonder why manufacturers like Moto & Nokia leave out magnetometers in the mid-range phones.
