I’ve spent a lot of time with Motorola phones in my pocket over the last few years. From the rock-bottom budget Moto G Play and Moto G 5G to the top-end Razr that I pick up again and again, I’ve tried them all. Along the way, I’ve taken my Motorola devices to neat places and captured scenes I’ll probably never forget. I’ve used a Razr Plus to take a photo of the original Razr queen, Paris Hilton, and I’ve used a Moto G Power to document Bark in the Park at Camden Yards during the dog days of summer, and I wouldn’t have wanted a different phone in either scenario.
Well, maybe I would have — but only if I were swapping a smartphone for my trusty Fujifilm X100V, which doesn’t seem like a fair trade. Either way, I hope you’ll indulge me for a moment and look at what I’ve achieved with Motorola devices at several different price points. And, if you really want to be floored by a mobile photographer, check out my colleague Rita’s gallery of Pixel photos from 2024 — just don’t ask me for her secrets.
