It looks like Motorola will be launching a new version of their G8 smartphone, the Moto G8 Power Lite. Some photos of the handset have appeared online, giving us a sneak peek into what we can expect from this new device.
Roland Quandt posted the photos on Twitter, and the handset looks similar to the Moto G8 Power that was announced last month.

Design and Camera Specifications
The device pictured shows three cameras on the back, whereas the Moto G8 Power comes with four cameras. This suggests that the Moto G8 Power Lite might be a more budget-friendly version of the G8 Power, potentially sacrificing some camera capabilities to reduce costs. The exact specifications of these cameras are not yet confirmed, but it is likely that the primary camera will still offer a high resolution, possibly around 16MP, with additional lenses for depth sensing and macro photography.
The design of the Moto G8 Power Lite appears to be sleek and modern, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of its predecessor. The rear-mounted fingerprint sensor is expected to remain, providing a secure and convenient way to unlock the device.
Display and Performance
We are expecting the display size to remain the same at 6.4 inches, which is a comfortable size for most users, offering a good balance between screen real estate and device portability. The display is likely to be an IPS LCD panel, providing vibrant colors and good viewing angles, although it may not match the deep blacks and high contrast ratios of OLED displays.
It is not clear as yet whether this Lite handset will come with the Snapdragon 655 or another processor. The Snapdragon 655 is a capable mid-range processor, offering good performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming. However, there is a possibility that Motorola might opt for a different chipset to further differentiate the Lite version from the standard G8 Power. This could be a slightly less powerful processor, aimed at keeping the device affordable while still delivering a smooth user experience.
In terms of battery life, the Moto G8 Power Lite is expected to feature a large battery, possibly around 5000mAh, similar to the G8 Power. This would ensure that the device can easily last through a full day of heavy usage, making it an excellent choice for users who need a reliable and long-lasting smartphone.
Software and Additional Features
The Moto G8 Power Lite is likely to run on a near-stock version of Android, providing a clean and intuitive user interface with minimal bloatware. Motorola’s software enhancements, such as Moto Actions and Moto Display, are expected to be included, offering useful features like gesture controls and an always-on display.
Connectivity options should include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and possibly NFC for contactless payments. The device is also expected to come with a USB-C port for charging and data transfer, which is becoming the standard for modern smartphones.
As soon as we get some more details on the device, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for more updates on the Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite as we learn more about its specifications, pricing, and availability.
