Performance and Software

Powered by the Mediatek MT6771 Helio P70M chipset, the Moto G8 Play features an octa-core CPU with a configuration of four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.1 GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores at 2.0 GHz. This setup is complemented by the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU, providing satisfactory performance for everyday tasks and casual gaming. The phone initially runs on Android 9.0 (Pie) but is upgradable to Android 10, offering a familiar and user-friendly interface with regular security updates. With 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, the phone manages basic multitasking efficiently, although heavy users might find these specifications somewhat limiting. The presence of a microSDXC card slot, which uses a shared SIM slot, allows for expandable storage, catering to users with larger media libraries.
