The Motorola Moto G8 is tipped to offer a solid upgrade over the Moto G7.

According toXDA, the new Moto G8 model has aSnapdragon 665processor, much like theXiaomi Mi A3series andrealme 5. The octa-core Snapdragon 665 is a direct follow-up to the Snapdragon 660, offering the same Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A53 CPU cores but bringing an improved GPU, a 2x power boost for AI, and a smaller manufacturing process.

In other words, you’re able to expect a pretty solid improvement over theMoto G7in terms of gaming, battery life, and AI capabilities. Furthermore, it’s believed that the new phone will be available in a 4GB/64GB flavor, with 6GB/64GB and 6GB/128GB models also mooted.

Other specs obtained by the website include a 25MP selfie camera, a 6.3-inch FHD+ screen, the Night Vision camera mode, and noAndroid Onesupport.
