Motorola Moto Nio Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Motorola Moto Nio - when everything is fine, except for the price

The Motorola company, although not very well known today in Europe and in the territory of the CIS countries, has a number of extremely competitive smartphones in its range. Unfortunately, the main obstacle to gaining the popularity that the manufacturer had 10-15 years ago is not the most democratic pricing policy. So, the hero of today's review could well claim to be a bestseller with a more modest price tag, because there are practically no flaws in it.

The appearance of the novelty is impeccable, however, the beauty in some moments negatively affected the ergonomics. So, a completely frameless AMOLED screen goes to the side edges, which is why accidental clicks are possible. But it looks great, adding a triple photo module on the rear panel made of tempered glass, a metal edging and a dual selfie camera in the display add attractiveness. The AMOLED panel is endowed with an unusual resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels, it is slightly elongated against the background of decisions from opponents. Brightness and contrast are not satisfactory, the refresh rate of 90 hertz and the built-in fingerprint scanner add relevance to the screen.

Technical characteristics are close to the most top-end ones. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor , 8GB / 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 650 video adapter managed to establish itself as an amazing option for resource-intensive games. Even with the maximum graphics settings, the user will be spared unpleasant lags, and the CPU heating is far from significant. The amount of ROM is 128 / 256GB of UFS 3.1 format. There is no MicroSD card slot as standard for flagship gadgets.

The main 64-, 16- and 2-megapixel cameras awaken controversial senses. Optical stabilization helps you get clear evening and night photos with solid detail, let alone daytime photos. However, I would like to see a telephoto lens in the top-value phablet. Front cameras of 16 and 2 megapixels will make sure that your social networks are not left without selfies. The battery capacity is 4500mAh , there is a fast charging function of 30W. The battery guarantees an autonomy of about ten hours of active screen time, so there is no need to worry about a premature discharge. Stereo speakers , NFC contactless payments, the latest Android 11 are a good addition to the listed advantages of the device. But the overpriced price does not allow recommending the device to everyone. Still, he has many alternatives that will not hit the pocket so hard.
