Introduction
Motorola lost a lot of its market in mid-range smartphones because of cutthroat competition by Xiaomi and Realme and practically every other company. Still, now Motorola is planning for a comeback. The Moto One Vision was the first attempt in restoring the balance. After it’s a great success, Motorola has returned with Moto One Action, which looks a lot like earlier Moto One Vision, but it has many numbers of differences under the hood.
In this detailed review, we will try to answer all your questions about this device.
Just like Moto One Vision, this phone also has the same two headline features – one being part of the Android One program and the other is the camera.
Let’s not waste any more time and dive into the in-depth review and talk about this excellent device in detail.
Price in India, Variant, Availability
Moto One Action does not offer multiple hardware configurations; instead, it has only one base variant having 4GB RAM and 128GB storage onboard, the storage is, however, expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card.
As for color options, the phone is available in two colors in India, which are Denim Blue, and Pearl White, although there are some more color variants, they are not available in India for some reason. Both color variants are great. Pearl white option reminded me of One Plus 3 that was a great phone in its time.
As of now, the phone can be purchased only from the Flipkart and Motorola store. The price at the time of writing this review is ₹10,999 on Flipkart.
Box Contents
We got the Denim Blue unit as a review unit, and it came inside an attractive material purple box with a vast MotorolaOne logo on the front and some specifications about the handset on the back. Inside the box, the first thing we see is the handset itself, and interesting enough, the silicone cover is pre-applied on the handset already, unlike other devices. Keeping the handset away, we get a USB Type-C cable, Sim eject tool, AC charger, and some documentation, and that’s about it.
Here is a quick overview of what you’ll be getting inside the box:
- Moto One Action
- A USB cable (Type-C)
- 10W(5V,2A) AC charger
- Sim ejector tool
- Hard silicone case
- Documentation
The Motorola One Action used the Motorola One Vision’s formula but added an extra sensor for its “action camera.” The phone’s build quality is excellent and stable, and it also stands out for its aesthetics, but the hole-punch design is not fully taken advantage of, and that’s something that bugs me.
We have no complaints regarding raw performance, and camera output is decent as well. The inability to take wide-angle photos is a software issue that might resolve in future updates. If you want to check out some other device with similar configuration and price point, then do check out Redmi Note 7 Pro, Realme 5 Pro, Asus ZenFone Max Pro M2, and Vivo Z1 Pro
