Motorola Moto G8 deals: Cheaper than EVER this Black Friday
Amazon is offering a great deal on the excellent Motorola Moto G8
Thanks to a cracking Motorola Moto G8 deal on Amazon this Black Friday, you can nab yourself one of our favourite budget handsets for even less right now.
Close to a quarter of the selling price has been slashed on the online retailer, meaning you can currently pick up the Moto G8 for £139, the lowest price it’s ever been.
We gave the Moto G8 a five-star review, calling it the “best of the bunch” when it comes to the many handsets in the Moto G range.
“It has comfortably become one of our new budget champions”, wrote Nathan Spendelow, our Mobile Technology Editor, who praised the phone’s performance – powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, clocked at 2GHz – as well as its long battery life.
“Of course, the Moto G8’s bargain-bin price comes with a few caveats attached. First of all, the back of the phone is made of polycarbonate, rather than glass, which doesn’t look as nice and is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. Secondly, the Moto G8 doesn’t come with any official IP rating for dust or water protection – Motorola says the Moto G8 is ‘water-repellent’ instead. There’s no NFC chip, either, so you won’t be able to use the phone for contactless payments.”
These concessions don’t stop the Moto G8 being a convincing product, however. Our review notes that Motorola provides “cuts in just the right places”, and for the cheap price you also have a solid set of cameras – a 16-megapixel (f/1.7) main sensor, an 8-megapixel (f/2.2) 118-degree ultra-wide camera and 2-megapixel macro camera, as well as a single 8-megapixel selfie camera on the front. In the end, our review called it “Motorola’s best-value handset to date”.
