Pixel camera is pretty amazing/magical. How is the camera app on the Moto G+?

I've probably taken under 50 photos this year so I am not a good reference point for camera features. I haven't been disappointed with the photos but I also probably have no idea what I'm missing.
You've taken about 10 times more than I!
G6 plus' camera is not one of its selling points. It is OK for the price range, but not more than that. Older iPhones (as in iPhone 6) are better.

Edit: but the camera on g7 is apparently better.

The G7 camera and app are serviceable. It's on par with my iPhone SE in speed, and bests it in low light. It has a reasonable portrait mode with effective background blur. In good lighting, landscape shots are indiscernible with my pixel 2.

It doesn't have the magical night shot mode that the pixels have, though.

The G series continues to have mediocre cameras. They have to make some sacrifices to deliver such a good value.
The app itself is really nice. The pictures though, are not great. Don't expect anything close a pixel.
