Unfortunately I have upgraded from my G6 plus as I tend to do every two (had the G4 plus before that) to the G8 plus. The camera performance is EXTREMELY disappointing. Sharpness and detail are sadly lacking and the G6 plus left it standing in those areas. Great battery life, nice screen, good sound, rubbish camera sums it up.

    No doubt the blind fanboys club of huawei, xiaomi, realme, vivo etc id getting bigger, as overall idiocy everywhere...there is no point in criticizing things that you do not have, when somebody buys something and results in a bag choice, it is right to complain and rant, nobody forces anyone to get anything

        I owned Moto Razr back in 2006 and in Smart phones used Moto X, Nexus 6, Moto X force and now Moto Z2 force and it's innovative battery/projector mods. All of them had some thing unique about them. The great thing is that all of their phones run stock Android and they offer good user experience. I am sure Moto G8 plus would live up to its reputation. Motorola should concentrate more on faster software updates, which would keep them competitive.

          soares, 16 Dec 2019When I hear Motorola it just sounds like "no!".Not really no

            Tomothy, 19 Dec 2019Finally!!! The voice of reason. i couldnt agree with you... moreSince I had Moto G3 and GTurbo, I didn't get G4 series. Hence I am unable to give much opinion about 4 series.

            But fortunately I was able to spend some time with G4 play and it was a pleasant experience. No nonsense phone, but bit underpowered. However, with nearly vanilla Android, it was a smooth experience.

              The voice of reason. i couldnt agree with you more! I had the the very first moto G 4G and it was awesome but now motorola have diluted their product line and i agree quality has suffered as a consequence.

                At the end of the day for £239 a phone with great battery life, super loud stereo speakers, clear calls Inc hands free, good cameras, Duel SIM, almost pure stock Android well this is more than enough for most of us. I've tried all the top high end phones like oneplus, Samsung etc and for £1000 they still aren't perfect so is that

                        "Quad Pixel" isn't the correct term. Quad Pixel is what Sony announced recently and is more comparable to a dual pixel sensor.

                          A plastic back... SMH. Seems like we are going backwards on budget phone build quality.

So no, Motorola doesn't have excuse to put lower and worse cameras and specifications only for claim quality at premium prices. In the stores, usually, their phones looks more dated than competitors. The same excuse that some use with HMD-Nokia to put 1Gb of RAM or two, crap cameras, etc., in some phones. But the metal frame that only cost few bucks it's good!!! Oh yeah, good exuse.

                            But ok, every one is free of waste/spend their money in the brand they prefer.

Think!. Motorola is good for many people, it costs a bit high or high because of good build quality ,remember the shattershield. Some current top manufacturers or OEMs don't provide or even focus on this thing. This reply is not just for you, it's also for people who think like you.

                                      Today they only sell the overpriced premium with budget components in Brasil and some in USA. Because the only budget in their phones are the cheap and dated components/specifications they offer at premium prices.
