NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Motorola Moto G87 is the pick for the best display, camera, and resistance: it has a 5000-nit AMOLED display, a 200MP main camera, and IP68, IP69, and IP66 protection. The Moto G77 is the more balanced option, with the same 5000-nit AMOLED display and 5G, while the Moto G17 suits buyers who value reverse charging and an included charger.
The Moto G87 pulls ahead in hardware with 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of storage, and Class A drop resistance; the Moto G77 and Moto G17 have 8GB and 256GB, with Class B drop resistance. The G77 provides 7 years of updates versus 6 for the G87 and 5 for the G17, plus Class A repairability. For performance, the G77 and G87 share the MediaTek Dimensity 6400, UFS 2.2, and 2.5 GHz, while the G17 uses the Helio G81 Extreme, eMMC 5.1, and 2 GHz.
For photography, the G87 combines 200MP, 1440p video, and optical image stabilization; the G77 offers 108MP, an f/1.7 aperture, and the same stabilization. The G17 drops to 50MP, 1080p, and no optical stabilization. All three have 5200 mAh batteries, but the G17 adds reverse charging and an included charger; the G77 reaches 61 h per cycle versus 56.97 h for the G17, and the two higher models charge at 30 W instead of 18 W.
