REVIEW
Around the front is a
16Mp front-facing camera
for selfies which offers an
adaptive low light mode as
well as a Panoramic Selfie
feature to capture bigger
groups or the environment
behind you.
In terms of video, it
can shoot 4K up to 30fps,
and 1080p at 60fps.
Unfortunately, like even
certain flagship phone
(such as the Mate 10 Pro)
stabilisation is only possible
at 1080p30 or lower.
That’s frustrating as the stabilisation is pretty good.
But as it’s done in software, it seems there’s not
enough processing grunt to work at higher frame
rates or resolutions. The camera app also includes
a 3D Detector, which scans an object in front of the
camera, attempts to identify it and then give you
relevant information. We tried it on an iPhone X and it
successfully recognized it and brought up Apple’s web
page for the phone. You’ll also find an AR feature for
both the rear camera and selfies. It allows you to add
animations to photos and videos, like Snapchat, but
this isn’t going to appeal to everyone.Battery
The 3,000mAh battery is a non-removable and
Motorola says it’s capable of providing power “all day”.3.
