Our Verdict:
The OLLA M8 PLus might be the advanced version of the M8, but the device does not really meet the minimum requirement to be called a senior sibling. It’s just the camera and the screen display size, while on the main important aspect which is on the memory, processor, and power and it has nothing to show for it. So don’t be deceived, the OLLA M8 will make a better choice than this, except you are that type that loves taking photos which is where the M8 Plus has an edge.
