Motorola Moto G Review: A Perfect Example of Jaw-Dropping Combinations

Motorola has indeed developed the Moto G per users liking by offering the maximum at the least price possible, but that also means that a few areas have been cut down for cost reduction. And one such area is the in-device camera that offers a 5-megapixel sensor and an f/2.4 lens - a great offering for a device that spells mid-range. The phone shares its camera interface with the Moto X and offers a dedicated mode selection that high above any device in the same price range.

The camera modes offer numerous options such as switching the HDR mode, alongside the flash, on and off. Users can also opt between widescreen and normal photos, choose Slow motion video and control panorama. However, there's no option of ISO and exposure offering here.

Apart from that, the Moto G's image quality is quite a good deal compared to others in the same category. But if look closer and start taking down points while comparing with others, you will begin to see that the device's camera is quite a mediocre one.

While we are still yet to play a bit more with the camera, going by what we have seen via the pictures snapped by the camera, it's actually offers just a little-over-average image quality. Moreover, there are issues with strong lights falling directly on the lens that causes the natural light to sort of bleed inside the camera. And although the photo details are quite decent for a mid-ranger, the images are still a bit on the fuzzier side.
