In a smartphone like the Motorola Moto X Style, distributed in Spain for 524 euros, it is unacceptable for Motorola to settle for incorporating exactly the same Camera application as the one we can find, for example, in the Motorola Moto G of 2015 (about 300 euros difference in price). The camera potential of a smartphone like the Moto X Style goes far beyond the limitations of an app like Motorola's, and so we think it 's time for Motorola to get on with its Camera app.
We assume that in a smartphone like Moto G in 2015, the simplicity of the interface in the Camera app from Motorola is a success in the face of less demanding users when immortalize pictures. But in a mobile like the Moto X Style, how is it possible that users do not have the possibility of recording videos with a resolution lower than Full HD, especially if we take into account that this mobile is distributed in a version that incorporates 16 GigaBytes internal storage? ¿ And what about the manual controls ? Of course, the fact that the Camera appof Motorola accumulate on Google Play over 11,000 ratings of a star is nothing more than proof that Motorola has to take charge of the matter.
The Samsung Galaxy S6, the LG G4 or the Sony Xperia Z5 are examples of high-end smartphones that, with their pros and cons , can boast a Camera application in which users can hardly complain about not having options. related to the camera. In the Motorola application, more than a renewal in the interface - we repeat; An intuitive interface is excellent for less experienced users, as we highlighted in our Moto G (2015) test - what we miss is theincorporation of a much wider range of options related to camera control.
But, while Motorola decides to move a tab in this regard, any owner of a Moto X, Moto G or Moto E should know that in the Google Play store it is possible to find a multitude of alternative photography applications to the one that comes standard in these mobiles. The Google Camera is the most used alternative, but it is also possible to find others such as Open Camera, with a huge range of possibilities related to manual image controls, Candy Camera, ideal for users who like to apply dozens of filters to your photos, or Camera MX, with interesting options both in the photography section and in the video section.
