Fair to middling. It's a competent, well rounded phone --- not the best, not the worst in any respect. You can find reviews online.

It's perfectly adequate for my needs and I haven't found any issues with the e/OS ROM support. But if only the best will do for you, this obviously isn't it.

"Middling" appropriately describes Motorola cameras. I've bought Motos exclusively since the original Droid and have finally moved off of the brand because of the camera.

It wasn't an important feature until I started getting potato quality photos of my children doing first-time-ever events.

Yeah, I finally got a Pixel because the camera was hard to beat. I since jumped to an iPhone 13, but honestly the Pixel still camera results were better. iPhone's video is the best of any phone I've used, though.
