Day 29: Motorola G8 power first impressions
Just got it
Yes, I just got my Motorola G8 power.
An hour review
As usual every time I get a new mobile, I make sure that the full charge is 100%.
I know there are people who might not agree with this.
Some will say we have this and that technology and this is no longer necessary.
100% Charge
Thing is, it does make sense to me that when you just got a phone.
You MUST charge it to 100%.
If your battery has never known 100% charge, aren’t you depriving it from something ?
Be a good human being.
Hello moto !
The first time my Motorola booted.
These are her first words.
And dang, it not only says that “Hello Moto” thingy.
It also shows a gorgeous photo animation.
I mean it’s a nice touch, no phone spoke to me before at boottime.
Btw did you know that Motorola Mobility is owned by Lenovo ? Read here
First impressions
These are mostly positive.
Wait, we’ll list some points to see if it is.
The Good
-
“The hello moto” feeling, this is new to me.
- The Camera, it’s great!
- Great for me is no filters, shows you the way you really are.
- Might not be a selling point for everyone
- The sound, it’s LOUD and CLEAR
- That sound blew me away, unexpectedly
-
Video playback - Youtube, runs great, no slowness, no lag.
- The fingerprint scanner, absolutely no complaints.
- Bad part of my Samsung S7 there.
- Pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to unlock.
- No mistakes.
- Feel in the hand - It’s grippy, I would not require any case.
- If only I was a no fall mobile kindof person that doesn’t exist.
- But I did buy a Ghostek Covert
- Btw that case is great, it also has a back holder that keeps the screen in landscape view brilliantly!
- The price
- Did I say that mobile cost me less than $200 ?
- See my guide on the steps to import a smartphone here
- The battery
- Uptime 5 hours, 2 hour videos, 93% battery.
- Updated all apps
- Synced all my older accounts and pics.
- 5000 mAH, need I say more?
The Bad
- The camera app is just bad.
- Sluggish, slow to take pictures
- Laggy all the way, I bet there is a way to make it faster.
- Will find out !
- Maybe a lighter camera app skin ?
- The audio
- It lacks bass.
- But on a positive note, the voice is very clear.
- If you like hearing lyrics and singing songs, this one for you.
Overall
I’m satisfied right now, but i’ll give myself more time.
To make a real opinion of this phone.
Thanks for reading!
