There are nine phones in the Moto G8 lineup, a big step up from the four in the Moto G7 contingent or the three in the Moto G6, and as a result, it can be easy to confuse the phones or struggle to find which one. The phone is the best for you. Well, there are nine phones called the Moto G8, but we'd say the number is actually a bit lower. In fact, although different assortments of phones have been launched in different countries, some of them have the same name. However, that's not always the case...it's really a bit confusing. We call these phones Moto G8 devices, but keep in mind that in the US, Motorola markets them as "Moto G." This is part of the reason for the confusion, because if you don't know the names of the phones well, it can be hard to tell if it's the latest line, but luckily elsewhere the company has stayed loyal to "G8." To help you understand them, we've designed this how-to guide to help you understand the phone you're considering and how it fits into the hierarchy of Moto G8 phone lines. To the right, we've compiled a list of all the different Moto G8 phone names – click on it and this will take you to an explainer on the phone. Overall, this list is ranked between the least powerful (and cheapest) and the most powerful (and most expensive) so you can see how the phones compare. To be clear, this isn't a list that tells you the best Motorola phone as a whole, as we've got our best Motorola phone guide, which includes other lines as well as Edge, Z, and One devices. It's just a way to help you understand what Motorola is currently doing with the G line of phones in 2020.
Moto G8 Play
The lowest-priced phone is the Moto G8 Play, which you probably haven't seen for sale in many places. In fact, the Moto G8 Play was announced with little fanfare and was only released in a few Latin American countries. You can't pick up the phone in the US, UK or Australia from carriers or Motorola's website, but you can import it if you want. The Moto G8 Play sports a 6.2-inch HD display, a MediaTek Helio P70M chipset paired with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 4000mAh battery, three rear cameras including a 13MP main snapper, and an outdated microUSB port. , as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. We found the Moto G8 Play on Amazon US for $200 (about $160, AU$290), though it was for an international version that was likely imported from another region. We expected it to be more affordable in the regions where it was released.Moto G8 Power Lite
The Moto G8 Power Lite is a spec version of the Power, listed below, though the phone it has the most in common with is the aforementioned G8 Play. It has a microUSB port and a notch instead of a "punch-hole" cutout like most other devices on this list, which shows its budget roots. The Moto G8 Power Lite has a large 6.5-inch HD screen, a Mediatek Helio P35 chipset with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, a large 5000 mAh power supply (hence its name) and three rear cameras with a 16 MP main snapper. The Moto G8 Power Lite launched for $150 / AU$279 (around $190), but had yet to launch in the US at the time of writing. In Australia, it's one of three Moto G8 lines available, alongside the "basic" device and the Plus model.

It's the "main" Moto G8 phone, and probably the first phone in the range that most would consider buying, due to the lack of suffixes. It's also the only device in the range available in the US, UK and Australia, though the former launched under a different name (more on that later). The Moto G8 has a 6.4-inch HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, a 4000mAh battery, and three rear cameras led by a 16MP Snapper, with an ultra-wide 8MP too. In the US, the Moto G8 is actually called the Moto G Fast, and it's the same in every way, except that it has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage - the flash module on the rear is also in a slightly different. This phone costs $200/$180/$329, so it's only a small step up from the Power Lite, and the real trade-off is that you get a better processor and USB-C port in exchange for 'a smaller battery. If you want the best of both worlds, the next phone is the one for you.

The Moto G8 Power launched in the United States as the Moto G Power, even though it's the exact same phone. When the Moto G8 series phones started coming out, this naming convention indicated that the entire series had just changed its name in the United States, but since then, some Moto G phones have been released elsewhere. The Moto G8 Power is named after its large battery which, like the Lite, is 5000 mAh, although the Power has a USB-C port for faster charging. The phone has a 6.4-inch FHD display, a Snapdragon 665 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and four rear cameras with a 16MP main snapper. It's the cheapest camera in the range that has a telephoto lens for magnified images, because while the Moto G8 and G8 Play have ultra-wide cameras, the others only have depth-sensing or macro shooters. The Moto G8 Power or G Power costs €250 / €220 (around AU$370), so again, this is a step up from its predecessor. It's still a budget phone, but not quite as much as its aforementioned siblings.

Moto G8 Plus
The Moto G8 Plus was the first phone in the series to launch, back in late 2019, and it didn't hit as many regions as we'd hoped, at the time, we thought it would be the top phone in the line. The Moto G8 Plus packs a 6.3-inch FHD display, a Snapdragon 665 chipset with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, a 4000mAh battery, and three rear cameras led by a 48MP main snapper, one of the other snappers is a 16 MP ``action camera''. tweaked Motorola One Action video snapper. You can pick up the Moto G8 Plus for €240 (around £300, AU$435), making it a bit more expensive than the Power, but not much different from its predecessor. The phone has some features we'd expect from a 2019 phone that feel out of place on a 2020 phone. There's a physical notch and only Android 9 pre-installed, but these are just release date effects.

The latest phone in the Moto G8 series doesn't have the digital name, but the release date suggests it's an honorable member nonetheless, and it's the Moto G stylus. It launched in the US in February alongside the Moto G Power, and then another version was released elsewhere called the Moto G Pro - the only difference on this model is slightly faster charging. The highlight of the Moto G Stylus is that it has... well, a stylus, which you can use to control the phone. On top of that, it has a 6.4-inch FHD display, a Snapdragon 665 chipset with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, a 4000mAh battery, and three rear cameras with a 48MP main shooter. So it's not much different from the G8 Plus, but storage space and the stylus may play a role. The Moto G Stylus or G Pro costs $300/£290 (around AU$500), making it more expensive than the G8 Plus in the same region, both are available, and it's actually the better device in the range. the Moto G8 range. It's not an expensive device, regardless of account, but if you want a new Motorola phone and it has to be a G8 device, this is the one to go for. See all prices (34 found) Show more offers Powered by
