The moto g8 launched last month being an attractive well-specced phone with a massive 5000mAh battery. Now Motorola is following this up with a more affordable option normally we would see the company use a less powerful chipset in the cheaper models, but in this case, Motorola has kept the Snapdragon 665.

Physically there is not much difference either, both phones use a 6.4 inch IPS display with a punch-hole selfie, and rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.

You also get the same storage and RAM specification of 4GB/64GB which is then upgradeable via microSD.

However, with this more affordable model, they have cut back on the screen resolution dropping it down from 1080 x 2300 pixels to 720 x 1560 pixels.

The camera is slimmed down too, with this model they omit the 8MP telephoto lens but you get the same 16MP primary, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro. On the front side, the lens gets switched from 16MP to 8MP.

Lastly, they drop the batter down from 5000mAh with 15W charging, to 4000mAh with 10W charging.

As far as pricing goes, the current Motorola Moto G8 Power is available for £219.99 via Amazon, the new Moto G8 has launched in Brazil but will launch in the UK soon from £179.99.

Personally, I would opt for the Power model, the bigger battery, telephoto lens and zoom camera are worth that extra £40, but if your budget is strictly under £200 the new g8 looks like a solid choice.
