Motorola Moto G73 Camera Quality
The 50 Megapixel and 8 Megapixel camera sensors are highly unlikely to attract fans of high-quality photography. If the company offered autofocus with 8 Megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, it would have been really good. The 50-megapixel main camera comes without Optical Image Stabilization. This primary camera reproduces natural colors and offers details, but only during the daytime shots.
The Evening and early morning photos turn out to be noisy and blurry. A strong ghosting effect is visible in photos and videos during low-light photography. The daytime video quality is above average. The primary camera supports 4K Video recording in this Motorola Moto G Series smartphone. Also Read – Motorola new model smartphone with Stylus Pen
