Editorial report

Motorola Moto G72 technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G72 suits anyone looking for a large, sharp display; the trade-off is that its 108 MP camera has no optical image stabilization. The 6.6-inch pOLED display has 402 ppi and a 120 Hz refresh rate, while its screen-to-body ratio is 88%. Both its pixel density and screen-to-body ratio are better than those of most phones launched around the same time.

It is also a light phone: at 166 g, its weight is among the best of its time, and its 7.9 mm thickness is less than that of most. The camera's 108 MP resolution and f/1.7 aperture are among the strongest specifications of the period. The phone also has an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 2 MP macro camera. The main camera lacks optical image stabilization, a limitation for anyone who considers that feature important.

This version has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the Moto G72 is also sold with 8 GB / 128 GB and 8 GB / 256 GB. It does not support direct operating system updates. Overall, the Moto G72 is typical of phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 5.8. Its display and low weight are its clearest strengths, while the missing optical stabilization and direct updates are the main points to weigh.
