Motorola Edge+ 2022 Camera Samples
Featured in this article
Motorola Edge\+ 2022, main camera. During the daytime, you can expect fairly sharp images out of the 50-megapixel primary shooter. This image exposes the whole scene really well.
Motorola Edge\+ 2022, Portrait mode. Motorola's blur is aided by the depth camera on the back of the phone. Look at the outline of my dog—there are no weird clipping issues with the bokeh effect. That said, the blur itself is a little odd. It doesn't look natural (some elements on the right are out of focus and others are in focus. Still, it's a sharp image (though my dog's eyes shouldn't be so dark).
Motorola Edge\+ 2022, Portrait mode. Here, the camera did a better job. The blur effect looks more natural, though there is some clipping on the hair at the top and left edge. The image is sharp, but the skin tone is slightly more reddish than it should be.
Motorola Edge\+ 2022, Macro camera. Instead of a zoom lens like on most high-end smartphones, the Edge\+ has a Macro camera (it uses the ultrawide camera). That lets you go super close to subjects (*obviously your pet)* and take a close-up of their snoot. It requires a healthy amount of light if you want a good quality image.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05Motorola Edge\+ 2022, main camera, Night Vision. It's a decent shot, but zoom in and you'll notice details are quite weak. There isn't much color here, and much of the background is just fuzzy. A phone at this price should deliver a stronger image. Compare this image to the following one.

Speaking of, zoom in on the building on the right and you can very easily make out the windows clearly; that's not the case on the Moto photo. The same rings true when you look closely at the nearest trees and benches. You can pick out so many more details.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09Motorola Edge\+ 2022, selfie camera. Motorola's 60-megapixel selfie camera *still* doesn't support Night Vision, unlike most flagship smartphones. This is still an OK shot, but my skin is far too pale. Compare this with the following photo.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Motorola Edge\+ 2022, Ultra-Res mode. By default, the Edge\+ takes 12-megapixel pixel-binned photos. That means the pixels are merging to absorb more light for a brighter end result. But you can force the camera to take 50-megapixel images with Ultra-Res mode. I was able to take a few shots of my dog and see some fine details in this mode, but weirdly, I also encountered an issue where some photos came out like this. Zoom in and you'd call this anything but “Ultra-Res”. Instead, it just looks like pointillism. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12Motorola Edge\+ 2022, main camera. I couldn't *not* take a photo of this awesome motorbike. Compare this with the following Pixel photo. The Edge\+ took a pretty great shot, but it's a little over brightened and not *as* sharp.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14Motorola Edge\+ 2022, main camera, Night Vision. Here's an instance where the Moto phone struggles with high-contrast scenes. It couldn't handle the bright sunshine coming through the windows and did its best to brighten my dog. The end result is very, very fuzzy with weak details.
