Moto G87 arrives with a 200MP camera and 5 000-nit AMOLED display, bringing Android 16 to the midrange
Motorola has launched the Moto G87, a new G-series smartphone positioned as a successor to the Moto G77. The device focuses on camera and display upgrades while adding tougher durability ratings and shipping with Android 16 out of the box.
The headline feature is a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilization, paired with Motorola’s pixel-binning approach aimed at improving low-light shots. It also includes an 8MP ultrawide camera, while a 32MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.
Camera and software focus
Motorola is emphasizing computational photography features, including portrait options at multiple focal lengths and automatic capture modes. The phone also leans on Google Photos editing tools, such as Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur, to round out its imaging pitch.
On the front, the Moto G87 uses a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a claimed 5 000 nits peak brightness. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, targeting better scratch and drop resistance.
Specs, battery and durability
Powering the phone is MediaTek’s Dimensity 6400 chipset built on a 6nm process, paired with 4GB or 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. A microSD slot supports expansion up to 2TB, and Motorola also includes a virtual RAM feature for heavier multitasking.
The Moto G87 packs a 5 200mAh battery with 30W wired charging and includes 5G, Wi‑Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, stereo speakers and an in-display fingerprint reader. It also carries IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings alongside MIL‑STD‑810H testing claims, aiming to stand out for ruggedness in its price band.
Motorola is pricing the Moto G87 from 399 euros, with availability beginning in parts of EMEA and Latin America in the coming weeks. Final configurations and rollout timing are expected to vary by market and retail channel.
