Design and Display
Comparing the Motorola Moto G8 Power to its predecessor, you get an improved design void of some features that made its predecessor look so much like a budget smartphone.
Don’t get it twisted, the Moto G8 Power does look like a budget smartphone that it is, the difference here is that its design tuned down its budget title a bit.
For starters, you have shrunken bezels. The absence of the signature Motorola branding on its bottom bezel made its chin less chunky.
Motorola also ditched the notch system this year and went on to feature a punch-hole camera on the display. Making this move made the front panel cleaner and also facilitated a reduced top bezel.
Speaking about display, the Moto G8 Power features a 6.4 inch IPS LCD display, which is slightly bigger than the 6.2-inch display we saw on its predecessor. Aside from being bigger, this display also has 1080p resolution which outweighs the 720p display on its predecessor.
Flipping over to get rearview, we discover an array of quad cameras, a camera flash, and a capacitive fingerprint sensor which is also home to the Motorola mascot.
