Motorola Moto G8 Specs and Price

The Motorola Moto G8 is a new smartphone in the G family. This is the standard version of the G8 series and the device arrives with an HD+ punch-hole screen, triple rear camera, and a Snapdragon chipset. The Moto G8 features a 6.4-inch IPS Display and three rear cameras.

This phone is the standard version of the Moto G8 Play and the Moto G8 Plus that was announced in Brazil earlier this year.

Design and Display

The Moto G8 is not looking bad at all. It still maintains the elegant body design of its siblings. It comes in a smooth panel and curved edges making it stay firm in any palm. To cut the price, the company built the device with plastic both on the panel and frame.

It’s only on the front that you will get to see glass. This is not that bad because it’s hardly noticeable. The Moto G8 measures 161.3 x 75.8 x 9 mm in dimensions and weight 188.3 g.

On the front side, the G8 comes with a 6.4-inch punch-hole Max Vision display with an HD+ resolution just like the G Play version. The screen has a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio, and 268 PPI density. It reaches up to 82.2% screen-to-body ratio.
