![]() ![]() There are no scene modes, no control over things like ISO and none of the frothy modes you get with rivals like the Galaxy S4. You summon the control wheel by flicking left to right on the edge of the screen, and it offers the following options: It’s a very simple interface that takes away most of the control from you in favour of making shooting simple and quick. The Moto X features the same camera interface as the Moto G – although it actually debuted as part of the Moto X’s US launch. It’s a good mode for shooting kids running about, though – standard shooting is a little slow for this purpose. When shooting in this mode, though, focusing is locked so it’s only useful for shooting at a consistent focal distance. Like this, the Moto X shoots at about 3fps. Shot-to-shot speed in normal shooting, including focusing, is about one second, but you can burst shoot by holding a finger on the screen. And it’s fast – ready to go in about 1.5 seconds, and signals that it’s doing so with a vibration crescendo. The first way it does this is with a ‘two flicks of the wrist’ gesture that launches the camera app, no matter what you’re doing with the phone. ![]() Motorola tries to make the Moto X as fast as possible as a camera. The Moto X lacks some of the pop and sharpness of some rivals Motorola Moto X – Speed/Shooting Performance You do get a lot more fine detail than with an HTC One, though. However, sharpness is slightly disappointing, with less fine detail in evidence than the best 8-megapixel phones. With a 10-megapixel sensor you’d expect detail capture to sit somewhere between the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Nexus 5, which have 13-megapixel and 8-megapixel sensors respectively. Motorola Moto X – Image Quality, Detail and Colour For all these reasons we were quite intrigued to find out how Motorola’s approach performed in real-world use. It uses an RGBC pixel array, featuring an additional clear subpixel in its colour filter to provide better low-light performance. It’s a 1/2.6-inch sensor, much larger than the 1/3.2-inch sensors you get in most phones. When you shoot at 16:9 with other phone cameras, you’re normally doing so at reduced resolution – not using the full sensor.įor the techheads among you, the sensor is the OmniVision OV10820. The resolution isn’t the only odd thing about it – it’s a 16:9 image sensor where mobile camera sensors tend to be 4:3 in aspect. It has a 10-megapixel sensor, where most rivals have either 8 megapixels or 13. The Motorola Moto X has quite an unusual camera.
