What’s wrong with the Motorola Moto G72 smartphone
The declared 108-megapixel camera block creates the impression that we are being offered to buy a camera phone. What’s with the sensor and optics – enthusiasts who purchase the Motorola Moto G72 will figure that out. The question is different. Photos require a lot of disk space (in the ROM). And all models of the new device have only 128 GB installed, of which 30 GB are taken by Android itself. Plus, there is no slot for memory cards. Naturally, there can be no talk of 4K videos or photos at 108 MP. Unless the manufacturer provides a free cloud service for media storage. Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why Motorola installed a 128 GB storage.
The 10-bit and 120 Hz display is cool. But it is implemented on a P-OLED matrix. Yes, no one disputes that the matrix has perfect color reproduction, excellent viewing angles, and provides a vivid, realistic picture. However, with prolonged use, the eyes get tired. So much so that many owners of gadgets with OLED and P-OLED displays report headaches. Couldn’t an AMOLED screen have been used?
Among the pleasant moments are stereo speakers and a headphone jack. Here, Motorola stays true to its principles. And you can be sure that music on the Moto G72 will be played at a proper level.
