Motorola’s Moto G8 Plus announced with three cameras and a big battery


Motorola’s Moto G8 Plus is the latest G-series device from the budget phone manufacturer. It’s the latest in a series of smartphones with previous entries that have been some of the best budget smartphones you can currently buy. The biggest improvements come with the phone’s camera, which has been bumped up from a dual rear camera to a triple-camera array. Alongside the G8 Plus, Motorola has also announced the Motorola One Macro and Moto E6 Play. The devices will be coming to Europe, but not the US.
The £239 (€269) Moto G8 Plus comes with three rear cameras, a main 48-megapixel f/1.7 camera, a 2-megapixel f/2.2 depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel f/2.2 ultra-wide angle camera with a 117-degree field of view. There’s also a laser autofocus sensor on the back, while on the front of the device there’s a 25-megapixel selfie camera enclosed within a small notch above the phone’s 6.3-inch 1080p display.
Motorola has also increased the size of the battery inside of the G8 Plus compared to the G7 Plus. It’s now 4,000mAh, making it a 1,000mAh increase over its predecessor’s 3,000mAh, and it includes 15W TurboPower fast charging. Internally, the phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable with up to 512GB of microSD card storage. The phone will be available starting on October 28th in the UK..
Meanwhile, the £179 (€199) Motorola One Macro’s main feature is its dedicated 2-megapixel macro camera, which Motorola claims can let you focus on objects as close as two centimeters away. Alongside the macro camera, there’s also a 13-megapixel f/2.0 main camera, and a 2-megapixel f/2.2 depth sensor. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio P70 processor, and it comes with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 6.2-inch 720p display, and a 4,000mAh battery. Like the G8 Plus, the phone will also be available on October 28th.
Finally, there’s the budget Moto E6 Play, which Motorola says will retail for under £99 when it releases in the UK in January 2020 and €109 in Europe. It includes a 13-megapixel camera, 5.5-inch 720p display, and it has a 3,000mAh battery. You also get 32GB of internal storage, which is expandable.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose.

We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
