Moto G37 Camera Loses Wide-Angle and 4K, Delivers Low Sharpness in Review

Q: Does the Moto G37 Power's massive 7000mAh battery truly justify sacrificing the versatile camera features found in its predecessor?

For battery-focused buyers, yes; for anyone who values camera flexibility, no. The Moto G37 Power’s 7,000mAh battery is its clearest advantage. Reviews consistently say it delivers exceptional multi-day endurance, backed by 30W charging and even reverse wired charging. In the budget segment, that is a meaningful benefit for commuters, travelers, students, and heavy streamers who care more about reliability than photography. The phone also adds practical strengths around that battery pitch: clean Android software, solid everyday performance from the Dimensity chip, stereo speakers, and durable IP64/MIL-STD-style build claims. But the trade-off on cameras is real. Compared with the Moto G35, the G37 line loses the ultrawide camera and drops 4K video recording, leaving only a basic 50MP main shooter and 8MP selfie camera. Reviews describe the camera as acceptable rather than impressive: usable in good light, relatively decent in low light for the class, but weak on fine detail, dynamic range, and versatility. That means fewer framing options, less flexibility for landscapes or group shots, and lower video ambition. So the battery justifies the sacrifice only if endurance is your top priority. If your daily frustration is charging anxiety, the G37 Power makes a strong case. If you regularly use ultrawide shots, crop heavily, or want more capable video, the camera downgrade is too significant to ignore, and the predecessor or a more balanced rival will make more sense.

Notebookcheck found the Moto G37 camera adequate for basic social-media shots, but lab tests showed consistently low sharpness that becomes obvious with digital zoom or heavy cropping.
Low-light performance was the phone’s clearest strength, with image brightening better than typical for its price range, though fine textures still fade in dim or complex lighting.
Compared with the G35, the G37 drops two notable features — a wide-angle camera and 4K video recording — making the successor weaker in several everyday shooting scenarios.
Reliable autofocus and acceptable color reproduction partly offset those cuts, but the review concludes the G37 only meets basic photography needs rather than replacing a fuller camera system.
