Motorola has introduced the Moto G87 as its latest G series smartphone and the successor to last year’s Moto G77. The phone brings a sharper display, a higher-resolution main camera, stronger durability ratings, and Android 16 out of the box.
A 200MP camera leads the upgrade list
The biggest upgrade is the rear camera system. The Moto G87 packs a 200MP main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization and Ultra Pixel technology, which Motorola claims improves light sensitivity by 16 times for low-light photography, along with 2x lossless zoom. An 8MP ultrawide with an f/2.2 aperture rounds out the back, while the front gets a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls. Features include Auto Smile Capture, Portrait Mode across 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm focal lengths, and Google Photos tools like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, Reimagine, and Auto Frame.
The display gets brighter and sharper
The phone features a 6.78-inch 1.5K Extreme AMOLED display with a 1272 x 2772 pixel resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and up to 5000 nits peak brightness. Motorola says the resolution is 17 percent higher than standard Full HD. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
Performance, battery and software
Under the hood, the Moto G87 runs on the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, with two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.5GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 2GHz, paired with an Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU. It comes with 4GB or 8GB LPDDR4x RAM, 128GB or 256GB UFS 2.2 storage, and microSD expansion up to 2TB. RAM Boost can virtually expand memory up to 24GB.
The device packs a 5200mAh battery with 30W TurboPower charging. Other features include dual SIM support, 5G, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, GLONASS, USB Type-C, NFC, an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, USB Type-C audio and Hi-Res Audio support. Motorola says audio output is up to 280 percent louder than the previous generation.
For durability, the Moto G87 carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, along with MIL-STD-810H certification. It is rated to survive drops from up to 1.2 meters. The phone measures 164.58 x 77.37 x 7.38mm and weighs 183g.
