Motorola Moto G8 Play
Okay so I've had my handset since Nov 2020. It's one of those things where people need to get it for themselves before commenting on it.
The only real problem this phone has, is it's cameras aren't up to budget standards with the rest of the industry. The 2G of ram, actually endure my abuse and I am a heavy social media, art app using, video call having phone is attached to me and functioning for 5 hour chunks daily kind of owner.
I've had no stutters and I'm carrying a 60G memory card, comfortably. It responds quickly for everything except my art app, which can often even stall on my PC and my tablet so I expected that.
It dropped twice in December, I have on one of those quicksand glitter cases, no cracks... No damage... Nothing. I used it with wet thumbs up to last week because I went to the beach... The phone is fine.
If you need a BUDGET device and don't care that much about noise in your poorly lit photos, I recommend this, or just go straight for the Power as it's not that much more expensive now I think.

2 GB Ram? for running android 9? R U kidding us?
There's no way this model could be fully functional in 2020 with such a befpre-2018 hardware...

None of the Motorola budget phones have nfc. I have the g7 play which also does not have nfc. The moto g8 plus has nfc but it says it is market dependent.

I bought this phone on amazon guess what it's NOT been released in the state's so no carrier's here can put service on it. Talk about furious I think they need to advise customers of information like that it better not take long to get my money back or lawyers will be getting involved

Plus the Helio P70 has 4 high speed cores and 4 high efficient ones while the 632 only has efficient ones and no high speed ones! X-X

I'm not sure there's any improvement over the G7 except for the bigger battery. The G7 play has a snapdragon 632.
