Motorola’s G series smartphones have been around for a while — we are now on the 8th generation. Motorola tends to release different versions of the same handset, but so far we’ve only seen the G8 Plus. Last year’s G7 Plus was joined by Play and Power versions, for example, so we can expect more in the G8 series.
In the early days Motorola pretty much owned the budget smartphone space, but the £240 (inc. VAT, or $259) Moto G8 Plus enters a very crowded market. Many players have a phone around the £250 price point — Oppo and Honor being two examples.
