Moto G87: The Phone Thats Trying Too Hard (And Failing)
Oh, Motorola, you almost had us. You teased us with the Razr 70 series, but then you threw out the Moto G87 like its the next big thing. Spoiler alert: its not. Lets dissect this phone like a high school biology project, because theres a lot to cringe at here.
Color Options That Sound More Like Paint Samples
Moto G87 will apparently come in shades like Pantone Overture Gray and Pantone Blue Atoll. Did Motorola raid a Home Depot paint section for these names? And lets not forget the bonus shades: Arctic Seal, Black Olive, Nile, and Shaded Spruce. These sound less like phone colors and more like names for overpriced candles. But hey, at least youll feel fancy telling your friends your phone is Shaded Spruce.
A 200MP Camera: Because Bigger Numbers Are Better, Right?
The Moto G87 proudly boasts a 200-megapixel primary camera. Wow, Motorola, were impressed by your ability to cram so many pixels into a phone that will probably still take blurry concert photos. Who needs optimized software and lens quality when you can just throw megapixels at the problem? This is like putting a Ferrari engine in a go-kart and expecting it to win the Grand Prix. Spoiler: it wont.
MediaTek Dimensity 6000-Series Chipset: The Mystery CPU We Didnt Ask For
Reports suggest the G87 will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 6000-series chipset. Translation: We dont know the exact processor, but its somewhere between mediocre and meh. Coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, this is the tech equivalent of a sandwich with fancy bread but no filling. Sure, it looks good on paper, but will it perform? Doubtful.
Design Language: Copy, Paste, Yawn
The Moto G87 sticks to Motorolas current design language, which is a polite way of saying it looks like every other phone theyve released in the past three years. A square camera island on the upper-left corner? Groundbreaking. Flat display with rounded corners? Revolutionary. If this is the best theyve got, we might as well go back to flip phones.
Is There Any Hope for the Moto G87?
Sure, it might launch next month, but lets be real: is anyone actually waiting for it? Motorola had a chance to wow us, but instead, they gave us a phone thats as exciting as a Monday morning meeting. If youre looking for a phone that excels in mediocrity, the Moto G87 might just be your perfect match.
