The Motorola Moto G87 is not only suitable for beautiful days.
The Moto G87 aims to score points with a combination of robust IP69 certification and a stylish faux leather back. We show how well the mid-range smartphone combines design, suitability for everyday use and durability.

The Motorola Moto G87 not only impresses with its display, but also with its robust housing with IP69 certification.

The back is made of high-quality artificial leather in Pantone colors, which gives the device a unique look. This combination of protection and aesthetics is rare in the mid-range.

Robustness for everyday use

The IP69 certification means that the device is protected against dust, water and even high-pressure water jets. This makes the Moto G87 ideal for users who use their smartphone in harsh environments, such as on construction sites or outdoors.

The synthetic leather surface also offers a secure grip, even with wet hands.

Design as a distinguishing feature

The back in Pantone colors such as "Ouverture" or "Blue Atoll" makes the Moto G87 stand out from the crowd.

The artificial leather has a high-quality feel and avoids the fingerprints that often occur on glass cases. The frame matches the color, creating a uniform appearance.

Suitability of the design for everyday use

Daily use shows that the artificial leather is resistant to scratches and wear and tear.

Even after months of use, the device should retain its fresh appearance. We can see from previous Motorola models that this is certainly possible. The IP69 certification provides security in the event of rain or accidental drops into water.

Of course, the Moto G87 can also be used as an underwater camera, but only in shallow water due to the pressure.

Comparison with other models

Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A57, which has a glass casing, the Moto G87 appears more robust and has a better grip. Although the Samsung device is also elegant, it is less robust.

The Moto G87 offers a unique design with IP69 protection and a faux leather back that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. For users looking for a rugged and stylish smartphone, it is an excellent choice.
