For the lenses, the on-screen notch on the Moto G9 provides shelter for an 8-megapixel f/2.2 aperture selfie snapper. The square-shaped module on the rear panel of the phones houses a 48-megapixel primary lens with an f/1.7 aperture and a pair of 2-megapixel shooters with f/2.2 apertures respectively.
The rear camera of the Moto G9 has many features such as shot optimization, high-resolution zoom, quad pixel technology, smart composition, Google lens integration, and auto smile capture.
