Motorola Moto G73 5G review – Brilliant despite its lacklustre display?

The Moto G73 5G has a 16MP front camera that produces fairly sharp images and can automatically blur out the background in portrait mode. On the back, there is a dual-camera setup comprising a 50MP main shooter and an 8MP 118° ultrawide camera. 

By default, the main camera combines four adjacent pixels into one pixel and thus produces 12MP images. Ultra-Res mode lets you make use of the full 50MP resolution.

As expected, the main camera can’t keep up with high-end camera gear, but it does what it needs to do pretty well. In daylight, the camera takes sharp photos with good contrast and a decent level of detail. Even in low-light conditions, the main shooter is still able get a lot out of a scene especially in Night Vision mode – another impressive feat for a camera on a phone in this price range.

The 8MP ultrawide camera likewise produces good-looking photos in daylight. However, you’ll quickly notice that images are lacking in detail when zooming in on them. The Moto G73 automatically switches between the two lenses using hybrid zoom.

The selfie camera can capture videos at up to 1080p and 30 fps. Just like the main shooter, which can do 1080p at 60 fps, the front camera uses electronic image stabilisation. The Dual Capture function allows you to record videos simultaneously using the selfie camera and either the main or ultrawide camera. Though you can’t switch between them whilst recording in this mode.
