Powering the entire Shebang is a mAh, mAh battery, which we hope to see in multi-day use, as it is paired with a chipset that calls it power instead of juggling. In the meantime, the camera sits square: you’ll spend most of your time with the main, 48-megapixel wide sensor, but it’s flanked by a 2-megapixel depth sensor with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. Marrow a fantastic 5-megapixel macro camera for 118-degree field of view and extreme close-ups. Now, the jury is still out on whether people are really pushing for this type of highly specialized sensor, but Motorola is credited with sweetening the deal in an unusual way – it gives the macro camera a small, decent ring light. (And if you’re wondering, no, you can’t use it as a more compelling type of flash for other cameras.)
The situation with the front-facing camera is equally surprising, as Motorola felt it appropriate to add two of them here. The first is a relatively straight 16-megapixel camera with f / 2.0 aperture, and you can rely on this to deliver strong selfies. The second camera, the Marrow, meanwhile, is an 8-megapixel ultra-wide that Motorola says can squeeze an extra three or four people into the frame at once. Put a side-mounted fingerprint reader, a headphone jack and NFC for all these covid-era contactless payments, and it looks like we’re looking at a phone that can give Google’s new, cheaper Pixels a real fight in the middle of Loving 5G. -As a smartphone war.
Of course, on paper there is often a gap between the potential of the phone and its performance in the real world. Motorola is focusing on an imminent launch, so stay tuned to see how its unusually attractive new phone stacks up against the competition.
