@SilentAce07773 years ago Photos seemed to be impressive while the video was horrific quality. Classic moto with heavy sharpening regardless of noise and artifacts. 42

@carolynscott45083 years ago This review would have been more helpful if you' d taken photos in different settings under various light sources, not just where the light remains consistent. 11

@jyotindroadhikarimayum3 years ago The photos look pretty good but the videos it took are underwhelming. 15

@americanparser3 years ago No ois, though? Seems a shame. Video is steady, though. Were you using a gimbal?

@dougable3 years ago Thanks for this. Does the front camera have iphone quality image stabilization? Thats literally all i want to know. I appreciate your starting the video with this. 1

@samanthakulppi57293 years ago I just got this phone today and i don' t feel the video does it justice. I had the nord one plus and had a really hard time letting it go. Going through . ...Expand

@craigslue3 years ago Thought the photos looked pretty nice honest and accurate. The video looked a little rough. 1

@sahitkarale4923 years ago If you get the unit for testing please compare camera performance against pixel 5a. 4

@prasannapadmagirwar62333 years ago This edge 20 looks so different than what we' ve seen being launched. Color & body shape is different in this one that he has shown.

@thetravelboys3 years ago Thought everything looked good. Just ordered in uk. Early bird offer straight from lenovo. 330 for the edge. That' s the middle one in uk and the id="hidden5"normal selling price of the lite. That' s crazy value. You would be over 100 more for google 4a never mind the new one. Only issue might be the 40 battery but we will see. ...Expand

@jwbranham20093 years ago It would have been nice to hear an expert opinion. The video seems to jump around and the photos were soft looking to me. Having the camera modes added . ...Expand 1

@gamesiplaythesedays.74343 years ago Oh yeah! Just when i was wondering about the camera! Thank you!

@JeremyBilbrey-kr6fzlast year I have this phone. I wished you would have taken different artsy looking pictures. And explained if you could make good quality prints from this camera.

@graceonline3203 years ago Very good camera results. I suspect that if that was a samsung phone people would be raving about it.

@BrijeshPatel-vb2sv2 years ago If 108mp is really good. Then why everyone is taking pictures through cannon cameras. 1
@

@alexandralefay6403 years ago I' m surprised the rear camera doesn' t record in 6k like the moto 100 or the moto edge plus. 1

@robertthabassheadjacobson49683 years ago Takes beautiful high quality photos but lacks high quality video. 2
@

@EMPERORakshaypatil3 years ago You said and shows edge 20 but all camera sample are from edge 20 fusion, because you never shown any telephoto shots and wide angle on edge is 16mp and on edge fusion its 8 mp. 1

@jeet469053 years ago Moto edge 20 vs pixel 5a camera test please.

@VhsssTv3 years ago The 4k main video looks shit af. And 8mp ultra wide. 12 is already minimum i' d consider useable. 2

@AugustoLugo19833 years ago Video looks horrible, pictures are ok, you do an amazing job with your videos, great job. 2

@cristisun1843 years ago The photos are really good in my opinion but the video is as bad as a 2011 device but i am sure it can be I am watching the Motorala Edge Pro and I like what they are trying to do.They show that they are relly trying maybe Sony can learn something from this. .. ...Expand

@RaGa_BABA3 years ago Why the video quality looked so cheap. 1

@tompatton20863 years ago Not really excited about the selfies and videos taken with this camera. Even the main camera is just okay. Hmm, i think i' ll pass. Thanks for posting this!

@marqessanzcora40893 years ago Hi, video is way too bad ( i' d say ) but it' s good motorola is still around.
@

@CROW_CREEK_SIOUX3 years ago I just picked up the motorola edge 2021 today and the camera isn' t all that. It should not be a $700 phone. I got it on a deal at best buy for $500. 1
@

@JustinDaniels3 years ago I was considering this phone. Until i saw the video quality. This is unacceptable! 1

@ashishksahu3 years ago Should have shown the power of macro, telephoto & obviously slomo. _.

@possessorofgreatness76203 years ago Its weird that the front camera' s video is better than main camera' s video. 1
@

@Fastlan3last year I got this phone, and the video does not look that good. Zooming in is pointless as the image is garbage.

@peaceandquiet3 years ago Video recording sucks, it' s a horrible quality. 1

@sahilkumrah29803 years ago Selfie camera edge detection is horrible.

@tdbone353 years ago The pictures are okay but that video is terrible. The mic needs improvement for the price it' s not worth it and for the love of stereo. Only one id="hidden13" speaker in the world of dualyou are not getting any buyers here. ...Expand
