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.
