Moto G Stylus, Power, and Play Camera Samples

Moto G Stylus (2020), Night mode. This is a photo from last year's Moto G Stylus. It had a Night mode, and as you can see, most of the image isn't sharp. Compare this with the following two photos.
Moto G Stylus (2021), Night mode. This photo is much sharper than the one before but at the cost of everything else. The colors are abysmal.
Google Pixel 4A, Night Sight. The Pixel's photo is sharp, color-accurate (if a little *too* white balanced), and well-exposed. A night and day difference over the samples from Motorola's phones.

Photograph: Julian Chokkattu04Moto G Stylus (2021), main camera. When there's a good amount of light outside, you can take great shots with the G Stylus like this one. My dog's fur is rich in detail, and the colors are quite pleasant.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu05Moto G Stylus (2021), Night mode. There's a good amount of detail here, but it's overshadowed by the metric ton of noise in the shadows and sky. Compare this photo with the following one.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu06Pixel 4A, Night Sight. The Pixel photo has far less noise, has strong detail, and good colors.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu07Moto G Stylus (2021), main camera. I love this shot. Everything is sharp, and the colors are accurate. It's Insta-worthy (and delicious\!). 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu08Moto G Stylus (2021), Night mode. The tips of the church in the background fade into non-existence. Weird\! The rest of this photo is OK, though it's filled with noise. Compare this with the following photo.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu09Pixel 4A, Night Sight. You can actually see the tips of the spires on the church here. There's not much grain, and everything is well-exposed, with natural-looking colors. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu10Moto G Play (2021), main camera. You might not expect much from a $170 phone camera, but during the day, the G Play can take some excellent shots like this one.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu11Moto G Play (2021), main camera. Unfortunately, things start to dip in low light as there is no Night mode for this cheap phone. It's an admirable attempt but the colors aren't great and there's not a lot of definition. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu12Moto G Power (2021), main camera. The G Power has the same main camera as the G Stylus. This shot accurately captured the gloomy scene. There's good detail, and if you zoom in, you'll see everything is still fairly sharp.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu13Moto G Power (2021), main camera. Even shots close to sunset can still look good. The tree branches are all very sharp here and the phone handles the high contrast well. 
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu14Moto G Power (2021), Portrait mode. Each of these phones have a 2-megapixel depth camera to acquire better data for portrait shots. The effect is pretty good here, though you can see some errors around the hair. Still, it's sharp with a good bokeh effect.
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu15Moto G Stylus (2021), main camera. It's not perfect with those high-contrast scenes though. At a first glance this photo looks OK, but look at the red brick building and there's no good definition there. It's very blotchy. And the sky in the background is very muted.
