Moto G8 Plus has been launched as the newest entrant in Motorola's mid-range G-series. The Moto G8 Plus packs a triple rear camera setup that includes a 48-megapixel main camera and a dedicated 16-megapixel action camera, just like the Motorola One Action. The Motorola G8 Plus employs the quad pixel technology for the main rear snapper, the ultra-wide action camera as well as the 25-megapixel selfie camera to deliver brighter photos. The phone comes with a water repellent design and supports the proprietary 15W TurboPower fast charging. In Brazil, Motorola launched the Moto G8 Play and Moto E6 Play in addition to the Moto G8 Plus. Specifications of the India variant of the Moto G8 Plus also appear to be slightly different from the global variant.
