Motorola, a Lenovo company, has long believed that advanced mobile technology should be accessible to everyone—and the new moto g87 continues that mission. Built for people who want more from their everyday technology, the device introduces the best moto g camera ever with a 200MP ultra‑high‑resolution sensor*, alongside the brightest 6.78″/6.8″ Extreme AMOLED 1.5K11 display on a moto g device, 280% more powerful audio compared to the previous generation3, and IP66, IP68, and IP69 underwater protection5. By bringing these advanced capabilities to a more accessible price point, Motorola continues its mission to democratize technology and give users more power, creativity, and performance in the moments that matter most.
At the heart of the moto g87 is Motorola’s best moto g camera system to date, designed so users can capture life as it happens. The 200MP* ultra‑res main sensor with OIS photos are worth sharing, even without perfect lighting or a steady hand. Ultra Pixel technology delivers crystal clear results with 16x greater light sensitivity, capturing bright, vivid shots even in challenging environments. And thanks to 2x lossless zoom, users get closer to the moment without losing details.
The camera experience expands beyond the main lens. An 8MP ultrawide lens ensures users can capture more of every scene6, while the 32MP7 selfie camera makes portraits look sharp and flattering from the very first snap. Helpful AI-powered features like Auto Smile Capture⁸ take care of the fine details, so users can stay focused on enjoying the moment instead of fiddling with settings. Portrait Mode adds another creative layer by delivering stunning, realistic photos that celebrate individuality and self-expression. With multiple focal lengths, it’s like having professional lenses right in their pocket, giving users the freedom to transform the same subject and setting into three distinct photos. Choose from full view (24mm), wide view (35mm), or standard view (50mm) to explore different perspectives and tell richer visual stories.
And with Google Photos as the home for all their memories, users can easily refine those moments using simple, powerful AI editing tools like Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, Reimagine, and Auto Frame.9,10
Once the moment is captured, it deserves to be experienced in its best light. Whether they’re watching their favorite creators, streaming movies or scrolling endlessly, the ultra‑bright 6.78″ Extreme AMOLED 1.5K display11 brings content to life. Colors look richer, details sharper, and clarity is elevated to new levels, making everything feel more immersive. With High Brightness Mode and 17% higher resolution than standard Full HD, the device automatically boosts the screen up to 5000 nits, making it easy to take photos, navigate maps, or read messages on the go. An advanced ambient light sensor adjusts instantly to changing environments, keeping viewing comfortable wherever the day goes. And with a 120Hz refresh rate12, animations, swipes and transitions feel smooth and effortless, whether gaming or jumping between apps.
Of course, great experiences don’t always happen under perfect conditions. From sudden downpours to accidental drops, everyday life comes with its fair share of surprises. That’s why the moto g87 offers a premium finish that feels inviting in the hand yet is resistant to everyday wear and tear. Available in three Pantone™ curated colors the device is backed by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i for 2x better drop and scratch performance14, IP66, IP68, and IP69 underwater protection5, and MIL‑STD‑810H durability13 to withstand falls from up to 1.2 meters—so users can carry it with confidence wherever the moment takes them. With additional military‑grade shock resistance, it’s designed to handle everyday bumps, drops, and impacts. Whether snapping photos in heavy rain, dealing with accidental drops on tough surfaces, or navigating the bumps and wear of everyday life, the moto g87 is built to handle life’s unexpected conditions so users can stay focused on the moment, not the elements.
To complete the experience, audio rises to meet the cinematic display. The moto g87 offers a major leap in audio technology by delivering up to 280% more powerful audio than its predecessor3, making vocals clearer and sound richer across entertainment. Dual stereo speakers create room‑filling clarity and use Dolby technology to deliver an immersive audio experience with greater depth, clarity, and detail across all your favorite entertainment, including experiences in Dolby Atmos. And with Hi‑Res Audio certification16, users can rely on studio‑grade quality across music, movies, and games, uncovering new layers of depth in every sound.
Behind the scenes, performance keeps everything running smoothly. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 platform, the moto g87 delivers seamless 5G performance4 and the responsiveness modern users expect. With up to 12GB of RAM 17,18, which is expandable to 24GB with RAM Boost19,20, multitasking becomes effortless across apps, games, and entertainment.
That performance lasts all day thanks to a 5200 mAh battery²¹ built for long days and late nights. Users can stream, share, and scroll without confidence and when it’s time to recharge, TurboPower™ 30 charging delivers hours of use in just minutes.22,23
Across Motorola devices, we continue to prioritize features that make the smartphone experience more intuitive, personal, and protected. With Motorola exclusive features like Hello UX for customization, Moto Secure for device protection features, and Smart Connect for seamless multi‑device use, the moto g87 supports how users live and create every day. Android 16 adds smarter personalization and enhanced privacy, while Google features like Chat with Gemini25 and Circle to Search24 provide quick assistance and effortless access to information.
The moto g87 will be available across EMEA and LATAM in the coming weeks. For more information on pricing and availability, please reach out to your local PR Representative.
