Introduction
Even if its name is extended, the Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite is nevertheless presented as the least well armed mobile of the Motorola range, which allows it to be marketed at only 179 €. At this price, it ships a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with a definition of 720 x 1600 px, a Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 SoC, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB internal storage, a photo block including three lenses (wide-angle, macro and depth), and a 5000 mAh battery. It is therefore more on endurance than on raw performance that this mobile seems to be betting.
Ergonomics and design
Light version requires, the Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite does not shine by its finishes, but has the particularity of being more imposing than the Moto G8 Power, which does not facilitate its handling - surprisingly moreover since the Lite versions tend to be more compact. Its dimensions are 164.9 x 75.8 x 9.2 mm against 156 x 75.8 x 9.6 mm for its predecessor, and the scale even displays 200 grams against 197 grams for the previous one.

The back of the phone is made from a very basic plastic that sports a midnight blue gradient. The Motorola logo also houses a fingerprint reader. On the upper left part of this shell is housed the photo unit which therefore includes three lenses and a led flash below.
The sound output is also located on the hull, unlike most other manufacturers who generally implant it on the lower edge.Motorola also chooses to place the volume buttons on the same side as the ignition button, which obviously gives rise to some false manipulations. Regarding the screen, it occupies only 82% of the front, with a fairly pronounced chin at the bottom, and also wide contours.
For connectivity, this G8 Power Lite offers a micro-USB port, while a 3.5 mm mini-jack is placed on the upper edge. The SIM cart can accommodate two nano cards and a microSD as needed. No waterproofing certification is available on this terminal. Overall, it doesn't surprise or disappoint for its price range, although Realme mobiles, for example, have a little something extra when it comes to charm.
The Motorola Moto G8 Power therefore offers a micro-USB connection on its lower edge and has a 3.5 mm mini-jack port on the upper. This turns out to be average: the distortion is low, the dynamic range wide enough and the cross-talk satisfactory. But the power is very limited.
Screen
The G8 Power Lite offers more or less the same screen as the G8 Power, that is to say that it does not particularly shine its quality. The IPS LCD panel notably displays a minimum brightness of 6.3 cd / m² which makes it a bit painful to consult when getting out of bed. The maximum brightness is correct, nothing more, with 443 cd / m². The measured contrast ratio is 1476: 1 and the color temperature on the warm profile - the fairest on this terminal and available in the display settings - is 6780 K.
Among the other measures, however, we note a pleasantly low glare rate of 39.6%. The afterglow is 16 ms, and the tactile delay is quite substantial (130 ms). In short, a decent screen, which does not bring any particular satisfaction, but which delivers classic results for the terminal's price range.

Performances
Entry-level mobile requires, the Motorola Moto G8 Power Lite's SoC is no lightning bolt. It is a Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chip while the G8 Power opted for a more powerful model, a Snapdragon 665. Not surprisingly, the performance is quite average. In our test, the terminal obtained a multitasking index of 80 and a gaming index of 55, which is a little lower than many competing mobiles. A Realme 5 Pro obtained a game index of 87, which was much more convincing in the same year, thanks to a Snapdragon 712 chip. Even the Realme 5, even less expensive, achieved a game index of 72 with its Snapdragon 665 SoC.

Overall, the performance offered by this G8 Power Lite and its SoC Helio G80 is quite light. The mobile does not allow heavy tasks, such as photo editing, to be carried out comfortably. Even the navigation within the interface seems a bit cumbersome, lacking in fluidity.
Photo
As we said in the preamble of this test, the G8 Power Lite offers here a photo unit made up of 3 lenses. Unfortunately, and if the consumer could have felt spoiled, this unit has only one lens that can be used daily, the 16 MP wide-angle (f / 2). The other two modules are limited to one-off uses since it is a macroscopic module of 2 Mpx (f / 2.4) and a depth module of 2 Mpx (f / 2.4).
Wide-angle module (16 Mpx, f / 2)
The wide-angle of the G8 Power Lite is not exactly the same as that of the G8 Power, which also benefited from 16 Mpx, but with an aperture of f / 1.7. Here, the aperture at f / 2 obviously means that the sensor receives less light, especially in night conditions, and compensation by a rise in ISO is likely. This generally implies a loss of detail, some smoothing and electronic noise. By day, this module does not present anything special with a most classic image, and even some annoying flaws, such as a big loss of detail in the angles of the image. The color fidelity is not the part either, with a very dull ensemble.
At night, most of the detail is lost due to strong smoothing, and you can see that the Realme 5 Pro is better at this exercise. The Power Lite will troubleshoot on occasion, little more.

Front sensor, portrait mode, video
Despite a dedicated lens, the Portrait mode of this terminal is not always very accurate, with capricious focusing and correct cutting only at moderate depth of field. The quality of the front camera is quite decent, despite delicate management of the high brightness. Finally, the video is content with Full HD at 30 frames per second, and no stabilization is involved. You will not play the apprentice directors with this camera, whose use must remain ad hoc.

Autonomy
With its 5,000 mAh battery, the Moto G8 Power Lite is a monster of autonomy, at least on paper. If it does not manage to match its big brother, who lasts more than 26 hours on our protocol, this mobile still reaches 20 h 35 min on this same test. Enough to take two days away from any outlet.
In terms of charging, on the other hand, the smartphone is terribly slow: it takes 2 h 34 min to fully charge the mobile. In question, its micro-USB port too far from the technical specifications of the moment, especially when it comes to supplying such a large battery.
