Editorial report
Motorola Moto G8 Play technical sheet
The Moto G8 Play suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with dual SIM, provided 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are enough. Both figures are lower than what most phones launched around the same time offer. Storage is expandable, leaving room to add more space for files.
Its IPS LCD display measures 6.2 inches and has a density of 271 ppi, lower than that of most phones of its time. The 13 MP camera has an f/2 aperture, less bright than those of most phones launched around the same time; an 8 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Battery capacity is 4,000 mAh, an average figure, though the battery overall is below average. At 183.6 g, the phone weighs less than most phones launched around the same time.
Performance and hardware are below average, while design and display and connectivity are worse than most phones of its time. Overall, the Moto G8 Play is worse than most phones launched around the same time. Its NeoScore is 3.8. It is a basic option for buyers who value dual SIM and expandable storage and can accept less memory, a less sharp display, and less advanced connectivity.
