I'm assuming the phone is still in the beta, testing stages. Therefore, its entirely possible that the camera isn't the exact one that will go into the production unit. Also, Chinese cities are terribly polluted, so its entirely possible that the pictures are perfectly accurate.

@Jeff -

Look at the way the image gets fuzzy (even for close up objects) toward the corners. This is a sign of poor optics. This is especially evident in the picture of (what I think is) the motorola Q. Look at the upper-right hand corner; it should be dead sharp, and it's not.

Also, examine the shadows -- there is a great deal of noise, especially for shots taken outside at a speed of ISO 80 (as indicated by the EXIF data). The particular shot that I'm looking at here is kdk_0011.jpg. This is a sign of a poor sensor.

The photos also exhibit a great deal of heavy-handed postprocessing (noise reduction / sharpening). This is a sign that Moto is aware of the poor optics / poor sensor issue.
