Biggest Camera Upgrade in G-Series History
The Moto G87 presents its main innovation through a sophisticated 200MP imaging system which operates as a hardware-level upgrade for budget-conscious photographers. The system uses “Ultra Pixel” technology that merges 16 individual pixels into a single large pixel with two primary advantages.
- The system provides 16x greater light sensitivity which enables bright and vivid shots even in challenging low-light environments.
- You can request 2x lossless zoom shots where the hardware crops into the high-resolution sensor to maintain clarity without the blur of digital zoom.
- The system identifies subjects automatically while it uses “Auto Smile Capture” to take pictures at ideal moments without requiring users to synchronize their actions.
Extreme Display and Military-Grade Durability
The G87 body design and display system developed by Motorola provides users with environmental protection through its combination of extreme brightness and its military-grade construction.
- The Extreme AMOLED panel displays 5000 Nits of brightness which enables the system to maintain perfect visibility under intense direct sunlight, a feature that only flagship devices possess.
- The device operates with three different IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings which enable it to endure high-pressure water jets and deep water immersion.
- The system receives certification under MIL-STD-810H standards because it can withstand drops from heights reaching 1.2 meters onto solid surfaces without experiencing major damage.
Battery Life and Performance
- The MediaTek Dimensity 6400 system provides efficient processing capabilities for daily activities and fast streaming and light gaming.
- The 5,200mAh battery provides power that can support intensive usage throughout an entire day without difficulty.
- The 30W charging system maintains battery health by delivering power in a consistent and secure manner throughout its operation.
- The device includes dual stereo speakers which deliver 280% greater sound output than the previous model used in Moto G86.
- The device comes preinstalled with Android 16 which provides current software features and security updates.
