Reviews for the Motorola Moto G87

74.6% Maximum brightness AMOLED, but brutal performance drops - Review of the Motorola Moto G87 smartphone | Notebookcheck
The Motorola Moto G87 impresses in the test with its stylish design, bright display and solid features. However, the poor performance for the price clearly clouds the overall impression. Is it a good offer in the face of strong competition?
Motorola Moto G87 Specifications, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The Motorola Moto G87 is announced for late April 2026 and hits shelves in mid-May. It is a big phone 6.78 inches tall and surprisingly slim at just 7.3mm thick, weighing 183 grams. That is light for a phone with a large screen. The front has tough Gorilla Glass 7i, the frame is plastic, and the back uses a silicone polymer (eco-leather) finish, which feels soft and premium. It is also seriously durable IP68/IP69 rated, meaning it can survive dust, being dunked in 1.5m of water for 30 minutes, and even high pressure water jets. Plus, it meets MIL-STD-810H military standards for drops and temperature changes. You get two SIM options (Nano-SIM + eSIM or dual Nano-SIM), and it supports 2G through 5G networks so it is future proof for fast speeds. The display is a stunning 6.78-inch AMOLED with 1 billion colors, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and an eye-popping 5000 nits peak brightness great for sunlight reading. The resolution is 1272 x 2772 pixels, sharp at about 450 pixels per inch.
