In the shadow areas some smearing of detail is noticeable, but again this is well within acceptable limits.

Some luminance noise is visible in blue skies but it is finely grained and not too intrusive. The lens in our test unit is sharp, with only some minor softness toward the edges. Skin tones look natural and color is overall pleasantly neutral, without any white balance issues in natural light. Thanks to very well balanced sharpening and noise reduction, fine textures and low contrast detail, such as the trees in the distance in the left sample below, are rendered very nicely. In bright light the Moto G Plus 16MP camera module does a very good job at resolving detail. Read on for our first impressions of the new smartphone and its camera. We have had the chance to use the Moto G Plus for a couple of days before launch and shot a good number of samples in a variety of situations. It's also possible to display just one dial at a time.

The new Professional mode allows for manual control over shutter speed and other shooting parameters via a range of virtual dials. A dual-LED flash is on board for shooting in very dark conditions, and in the camera app a new Professional mode allows for manual control over the most important shooting parameters like shutter speed and ISO. Its contrast detect autofocus is supported by on-sensor phase detection and a laser to measure subject distance. A 1/2.4-inch Omnivsion OV16860 16MP sensor with a large pixel size of 1.34um is paired with a fast F2.0 aperture. The Moto G Plus is a brand new model in Motorola's Moto G mid-range series, but its camera specification looks pretty much top-notch.
