What the critics say (scores are out of 100)


100	Stuff \| Tom Morgan As well-equipped and capable as we'd expect from a Moto G, with less confusion now the Plus is your only eighth-generation option - but upstart rivals stop it from being the only budget game in town Read full review
80	Trusted Reviews \| Alastair Stevenson If you have a Moto G7 Plus, or recent Motorola One-series smartphone, there's little reason to upgrade to the Moto G8 Plus. But for those with older handsets, the G8 Plus remains a solid mid-range Android device that gets nearly all the basics right. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint \| Mike Lowe Given its affordable price point, updated subtle design, and capable enough feature set you'll have no problems running games and other apps there's very little to let this phone down. Read full review
80	The Indian Express \| Mohammad Faisal The phone has a good camera, a dedicated Action Camera, good audio quality, smooth performance, and long battery backup. There is a lot of competition in the...price segment, but Moto G8 Plus surely holds its own. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews \| Alan Martin It's good looking, nippy and takes good pictures. But in this competitive market, sometimes good enough isn't quite good enough. Read full review
80	Mobile News \| Saf Malik The G8 Plus does well on most fronts and exceeds expectations in some, particularly with its battery life and display. While the camera isn't the best, even for a budget phone, the Moto G8 is a respectable crowd-pleaser that is sure to be successful in the budget range. Read full review
80	India Today \| Amritanshu Mukherjee Moto G8 Plus is a step in the right direction for Motorola but it's not quite up there to be the absolute recommendation. It's a good smartphone though and if you like what Motorola has to offer, you should go ahead and buy it. Read full review
80	AndroidPit \| David McCourt Customers in this market can start to be really picky. It's a great time to buy a mid-range smartphone, and the G8 Plus throws its hat deservedly into the ring. Read full review
80	Tech.co \| Tom Fogden The Moto G8 Plus is one of the best value for money phones on the market it performs exceptionally well across the board for a phone that costs so little. In fact, we're more than happy to crown this new Motorola as the best value for money Android phone on the market. Read full review
78	phoneArena \| Peter Kostadinov Overall, I'd recommend the Moto G8 Plus to those who are looking for an affordable phone with excellent battery life, a user-friendly design, adequate performance for the price, and a clean Android experience. Read full review
78	NotebookCheck \| Florian Schmitt Ultimately, which Moto G generation you find better probably comes down to the price and your own needs. The Moto G8 Plus is in any case a recommendable midrange smartphone that offers a lot of performance and equipment for its purchase price. Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets \| Roydon Cerejo The Moto G8 Plus isn't the best all-rounder, but if stock Android, a good display, and stereo speakers are high on your priority list, you might find it worth your while. Read full review
70	TechRadar \| Siddharth Chauhan, Tom Bedford The Moto G8 Plus brings more power to the table with a versatile camera system array, stereo speakers, minimal bezels and an efficient battery management system. It's a competent budget device, although it's got a few problems. Read full review
70	Gadgets Now \| Shaurya Shubham Motorola has made a competitive smartphone that can take on to competition without much effort. Read full review
65	Australian PC World \| Fergus Halliday The Moto G8 Plus is great in all the ways that modern Motorola phones are but doesn't really move the needle towards a place where they can readily compete with the increased competition in this particular price-segment. Read full review
60	Android Authority \| Dhruv Bhutani The Moto G8 Plus is an interesting option for users looking for a near-stock Android experience on a budget. It brings all-day battery life, an interesting action camera setup, and reliable performance to the mid-range segment. However, devices by Xiaomi and Realme offer better hardware at the same price, which makes the Moto G8 Plus a tough sell. Read full review
50	MobileTechTalk \| Kurt Colbeck If I were to be asked which of the two phones I would choose between the Huawei P Smart 2019 or the G8 Plus, it would be very hard for me to recommend the G8 Plus for the one major reasons anyone looks for a smartphone: camera. The P Smart outclasses it at every juncture without skipping a single beat. Read full review
50	Mashable India \| Shomik Sen Battacharjee The Moto G8 Plus ticks most of the boxes for the average budget-smartphone user but compelling brands have a lot more to offer for the price. Read full review
