Motorola Moto G8 Play

The Moto G8 Play is an inexpensive handset with a plastic body. It has signature camera design at the back. Slightly below that, you get a recessed Moto logo that holds a fingerprint sensor. On the front, the phone has a slightly curved display.

The phone sports a 5.7-inch HD+ IPS (In-Plane Switching) display with a large notch. Compared to the LCD panels, IPS screen offers advantages such as wide viewing angles and more saturated colors. The display has an aspect ratio of 19:9 and is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The performance of the Moto G8 Play relies on the Mediatek MT6771 Helio P60 chip at its heart. Based on the 12 nm technology node, this chipset offers four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2 GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores running at 2 GHz. To handle videos games, the device has a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. The phone comes with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB internal storage. Plus, there's a dedicated microSD card slot to further expand the storage. Motorola is known for its near-stock Android user experience. And the Moto G8 Play won't disappoint on this front by offering Android 9 Pie with no bloatware.

As opposed to its predecessor's single camera, the Moto G8 Play sports a dual-camera module. It comes in a 13 MP + 2 MP configuration. The secondary sensor is meant to capture depth information essential for the bokeh effect. This camera can record 4K videos at 30 fps. For selfies, you get a 5 MP front-facing shooter.

The handset packs in a 4,000 mAh battery, which is a significant upgrade over the G7 Play's 3,000 mAh capacity. The Moto G8 Play is compatible with 4G VoLTE, which means you can use Jio SIM without any issue. In fact, it can hold two. It covers essential features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, A-GPS (network assisted), 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a Type-C port.
