That Motorola has made cuts to the camera system is understandable given the “slim and lightweight” concept. However, this was one of the Edge 60’s key strengths, particularly thanks to its optical zoom. The significantly more expensive Edge 70 now has to do without this feature, which is at the very least disappointing.
The 50-megapixel main camera produces sharp, high-contrast photos in good lighting and still delivers decent results in lower light. However, more distant objects can no longer be captured with the same level of detail.
The ultra-wide-angle camera is capable of producing attractive panoramas, but fine details are rendered less accurately.
At the front, there is also a 50-megapixel sensor, which takes sharp photos but is not particularly light-sensitive.
Videos can be recorded in 4K at 60 fps using both the main and front cameras. Image quality is good in both cases, and the autofocus responds reasonably quickly and unobtrusively.
