Motorola One Action

Jii92

I have Honor 10 Lite. Why i should by this One Action? What is better than Huawei phones? This Honor is good but is Huawei :D I hate Huawei. Is very interesting this Moto One series. Is "Pure Android"? Thanks for answer. Sorry my bad english.. So hope you understood.

Do is support Dual VoLTE and dual VoWIFI (Voice ovel LTE and Voice over WiFI or WIFI call)? This phone is Dual LTE, so both SIM cards can be used as 4G at same time?

The phone is great in almost every aspect. Lets go with the good part first: - Big and bright display. The front camera punchole its not an issue, after a few minutes you forget about it. - Great performance: very quick opening and changing of apps, i didn't found any lag - Great camera: Not an expert, but coming from a user of a moto g6 plus, this camera is superior, in my opinion it has more natural colors in the photos, and the action cam,it's really cool to take horizontal videos with the phone in vertical. - Storage: 128 gb is a lot. - Battery: if you are not a heavy user or like to play video games, the battery will last the whole day with no problems Now the BAD: the only bad thing i found is that when you play videos, from any source, when you put it on full screen the colors get so oversaturated, to the point, that by example a face, lost its contour. And changing the color mode from the settings didn't help a bit. This is really a shame, i liked the phone a lot, but this problem was a killer for me so i'm going back to my trusty g6 plus

You need to upgrade your info Shortly after the purchase, Google sold Motorola Mobility's cable modem and set-top box business to Arris Group. Google's ownership of the company was short-lived. In January 2014, Google announced that it would sell Motorola Mobility to Chinese consumer electronics firm Lenovo for $2.91 billion. Wikipedia › wiki › Motorola_Mobil...

I bought this phone 3 days ago for 210 euros, I think it's a good phone for that money. The processor is even faster then the sd660, the battery lasts for more than 8 hours of constant usage, I still have to get used to the weird aspect of the screen, the sound quality is awesome with a good pair of earphones and the speaker has a rich and deep sound , compared to many other phones I've tested...So I made a good deal, buying it.

Google bought Motorola not for the phones, but for the 17,000 mobile-related patents. Phone companies sue competitors over patent infringement all the time, the only way to avoid those is to have your own patent stash to counter sue them. Google then tried to make Motorola-a-Google-company work, but other OEMs (Samsung mainly) kept complaining about preferential treatment and threatening to develop their own mobile OS (Tizen). I think Google should have called their bluff, but instead they played it safe. One of Samsung's terms is that Moto needed to be sold off, which happened in 2014. But even after the deal, Google still wants to enter the hardware scene, so they start their hardware division from scratch. This does not ruffle Sammy's feathers since unlike Moto, Google hardware has no experience nor worldwide distribution channels whatsoever. Google "Nuclear stand-down: Google, Samsung, and the sale of Motorola Mobility" for more details

Build quality is excellent

Fade.

That's what I don't get about Google's phone business. They sold off Motorola and then decide to start manufacturing their own Pixel phones?? The heck's the point behind that? Motorola was at that point and still is to some extent known as good and reliable phones. Add in all the patent money and what the heck where they thinking? If they just kept Motorola and made it Motorola By Google I 100% guarantee you they would've sold much more phones than now. What where they thinking???

Because Google sold Motorola to Lenovo five years ago.

why endurance rating is so low with 3500 mah battery??

Guys. Why in wikipedia says motorola WAS an american.........why they say WAS

Khalifaa

Moto because it had fhd+"display

Roshan

go for the motorola one action.It has good cameras,a nice processor,overall good performance.Though,the Mi A3 is pretty good considering the price point,If I were you I'd go for the moto because of the unique video shooting ability.

Motorola has no OS updates? what a funny indian. They have OS updates and their build quality is still the same. Get out and see the world.

Nidhip Joshi

SHould I go for the Mi A3 or the Moto one Action???

whats so complex? I think companies do a decent job at simplifiyng the setup and usage of the phone for regular people.

I am also 36. And using Samsung Galaxy android device since 2014. I am also fed up with these new complex technology in these smartphone. Earlier the phones are simple, solid and timeless. I mean you can use them for 5 years average without thinking about the updates, new network coming etc. But now a days things are very very different. Some devices as high as one year salary of most young people and yet they can be unusable in 3 years. As for using Samsung devices, I use them for basically three reasons- battery runs a for day, no hanging issue and no heating issue. As for Nokia or Moto devices, I see them very rarely in here. In India if you are very rich, then buy iPhones, if you are middle class then Samsung is for you, but if you are anything except belong to above category then buy Xiaomi (Mi, Redmi) or Oppo/Vivo/Lenevo etc. Honestly saying I was very excited to see Nokia Android devices at starring point, and also tried few devices's demo e.g. Nokia 6.1 plus which has strong build, good screen and fast U.I. but then I read the authentic reviews about usage of the devices in Amazon, Flipkart (Indian e commerce site) and found many issues faced by the users and cold service by customer care. And this has stopped me from going after them. Same with the Moto. The very first Moto G in 2013/2014 was a real gem. But after Lenevo acquisition, Moto has gone down on quality and standards. And they have three major issues in their devices, e.g. battery drainage, heating/hanging issue and no O.S. updates. Anyway this is the real data I have found. I am not support or against of any brands or devices. If a device looks beautiful, but has issue I will not go for it; but if it is ugly and still has the things I am looking for in device, I will buy it. As for you, I will not hide, I am an professional artist who works on high-end software (Adobe, Autodesk) and hardware; but still I found these new 2/3 camera setup (depth lens, ultra wide lens, macro lens, zoom lens) etc to complicated on a device which is not a proper camera. So, I can't say specifically which device will best for you. And if you can't take advice from unknown people on online forums like these to buy a specific one. So, my advice. Make a list of 3/4 devices which has the specs you are looking for e.f. Moto Action, Moto Zoom, Nokia (upcoming devices have 3/4 back camera),l and any other device you found. Then please watch YouTube reviews (they are not 100% reliable), but at least they shows us the specs with usage and read the user experience from e commerce site (I found the very poor battery life of Mi A3 and Moto Action on these sites). Then choose one you found the most suitable. Remember few things, no device is 100% perfect for everyone. You have to compromise in some areas. A fast processor or multi setup camera lens means more battery consumption. Regards.

If the Galaxy A50S or the A70S will be released here in the UK then definitley I will check them out. But I think I will skip this phone and perhaps wait for the 2nd-gne one. Now, I am slowly turning my attention to the Nokia 8.1 and the still "class-leading for price-for-specs ratio" Moto G7 Plus which IMO is better specced than the One phones. I am in my 40's and i do not want the latest & greatest. I just want something that works for me and one that I can be proud to use everyday. I had my Galaxy S9+ for 3 months now but let's face it. Despite being an old flagship it is showing it's age. I have pinpointed (not exactly nitpicked) things that i do not like anymore with my phone. The 26mm wide angle lens on the rear camera sometimes just doesn't cut it any more. The selfie camera (with all its specs) are for my standards "atrocious".The phone is starting to show more signs of errors (SIM-card not inserted), battery life ain't that good any more (despite having the same number of apps for 12 months running now) and the One UI still feels sluggish in times of when you needed it most. So, what that said does a near-stock, midrange Android like the Nokia 8.1. and Moto G7 Plus be a good "fallback" if you like and still be a good daily driver?

triople

I am really impressed from your specification information. It is very useful thank you

AnonD-778465

I did some Google research to find out the truth about A50. Also my father has one which is few weeks old. It is good device at the price. Screen is good, color looks great, cameras are also good enough. Anyway as for updates, Samsung gives very less frequent updates to the mid range devices compare to the S series. I agree with that. I have noticed that you are very specific about the cameras. This Moto Action and Zoom has some unique camera set up and there is no doubt. So, if you care only about the cameras, then you can go for them. But the battery life is really short. As for me I really want a secondary device now. Samsung will release some new models in next few days in India in budget segment. I am eagerly waiting for them.

Gino76ph

There is only 1 dedicated Samsung store in Central London. And I highly doubt the people there are knowledgeable enough to know if an A-phone is IP-rated or not. They would still go to one corner or go to their computer and research it. Believe me I know. But, may I ask whereabouts you found out if the A50 is water-resistant? I have many reservations about the A-class of phones by Samsung. for one, updates maybe not as often as the S-line. The cameras are not as good as say a mid-range Nokia phone.

Gino76ph

The only "multi brand" store in the UK is Carphone Warehouse. Even so some of the phones are either not fully charged, software is not updated or on demo/retail mode. So, its kind of a hair-ripping/teeth-grinding exercise hence you are "limited" to website like this or on Youtube. I would like a phone that has: 1. Wide angle (wider field of view) in front & rear cameras 2. a selfie camera with 12MP & above with lower/wider aperture and bigger pixel + quick autofocus...than my Galaxy S9+.

Vivek Sahdev

It is very good phone No Lags , Very Good Camera with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 100% ,,,,No lags No heat,, I m using from last 1 week.

AnonD-778465

I did some Google search and found that Samsung A50 is IP68 certified. So, it can survive little accidental splash of liquid. But there is no confirmation about A70. You should visit a Samsung Shop nearby to get more confirmation about these data. Only those guy can tell you the accurate information. Regards.

No Gorilla Glass on display...

AnonD-778465

I will advice you to visit a multi brand store and take demo of various devices. Now a days most mid level devices comes with triple camera set up, so you can have wide choice. And in few days many new devices will come, so a little wait will be better. As for me I will go for Samsung as usual. I will go for M20 or the upcoming M30s. For me the screen (must be HD), battery (should last one day at least) and build quality is important. I am not in much mobile photography. Will buy separate digital.camers in few months to take some casual shots. My cousin brother has a Cannon DSLR and he is serious photography hobbyist, and I have seen the outputs of it. Anyway this my thought. Hope it will help. Regards.

Gino76ph

Is the Samsung A50 or A70 splash resistant and is safe to use in light rain or won't get damaged with an accidental spill of water, coffee, tea or softdrinks?

Toldor

Tried this a bit on a local store, on price its almost same to vision, so ill pick the other one (looks and feels better). They are great on width but theyre a bit too tall for my taste. The hole is not that big like in video reviews, i liked the screen and the pie experience. Looks like a good mid range device competition.

Gino76ph

Having the S9+ I am underwhelmed by the rear camera seemingly not-so wide angle lens/less FOV. For example is when i am taking a photo of my wife standing beside a London phone box (as the foreground) and a musical theatre at the background the top portion of the theatre is cut from view. I hope that kinda makes sense. Another dissapointment I want to share is the underwhelming front selfie camera of the S9+. Colours and sharpness are all washed-out and poor, unconvincing dynamic range and again wide angle it is not. I understand the S9+ is still considered a "high end" phone but the fact is its now an old flagship phone and there are other great midrangers out there that I think can stand up to it. All i am looking for are cameras that has wider field of view (i.e. wider angle lenses), a selfie camera above 8MP and a not too shabby dynamic range, decent/above average low light photos and decent EIS stabilization.

AnonD-778465

Honestly you should go for Samsung A50 or A70. First, they are very good. My father bought A50 and it looks so great. Even I am thinking to buy Either A30 or M30 from myself. Second, Samsung mid range devices are not great for gaming or has great camera. But still they deliver successfully what we expected from them. Third, I am also looking looking to replace my 3 year old broken On7 pro device. And my budget is 10k to 15k. I noticed many devices are there from Chinese brands, with more performance. But again I will not play any game, so those device es are not good for me. Fourth, I have read the reviews if authentic buyers of Moto Action. I was always dreaming of having a Moto device since Moto G days, but always thier devices have disappointed me. So, when I saw the Moto Action with a Exynos SoC, I was very excited. But after reading the user reviews, I am done with these devices. Why? 1. Fast battery drainage. The battery of Moto One recharge very fast. 2. The weird display ratio of 21:9, which may be great for watching videos, but not for apps, many apps don't support this display. And if you can't run your apps on it, it is useless. 3. Some call and network issues. My device is for calling, if I can't make a call correctly, I will not buy a device. Overall I have decided to stick to.Amasung again like last 5/6 years. I know my device will not be a powerhouse or have new innovative features..but I know it will not create any new stress for me. In between I tried Lumia 540 and those Microsoft guys successfully screwed up my life for a year. Regard and respect.

I am torn between 2 Motos: the One Action & the One Vision. I'm downgrading my Galaxy S9+ to a more reasonable and modest phone. I need to find a phone with a slightly wider angle front & rear cameras, something with decent/above average night photos (with somewhat less noise), a decent/above average 2-3x zoom (with somewhat less noise), natural-looking photos and not oversaturated, a "loud enough" stereo speakers (75dB & above), fast updates (similar to Android One) and a camera that has decent/above average dynamic range (less overblown highlights on the background like sunlight or artificial indoor lights). Comments and advice please.

AnonD-778465

I was really excited to see this model from Motorola. I noticed the Samsung 79xx SoC which supports HDR and some reviews in YouTube also showing playing PUBG at HDR mode. Then the screen supports 21:9 and full HD unlike Mi A3 which has disappointed. Last but not least ten Cameras looks fantastic. I have checked and not seen any other device with 3 rear camera set up at this price. So, I was searching for a secondary device to enjoy Amazon Prime, Hotstar and Netflix after the end of the working day to relax. And probably I will check my YouTube channel about travel in few weeks. Last but not least I am also a music fan and the Dolby Atmos

Go to Lenovo forum, there u will get Ur reply.

Gino76ph

Hi. I wanted to find out... Does this phone support 32-bit/384kHz audio similar to a Galaxy S9+?

Adul Al Salami Kebab

Compared to competition no the battery is not fantastic, good enough? Probably unless software update have made it better post this review! :)

Fabiomb

Battery is more than sufficient, RAM is enough, who needs more? wich software uses more than 4GB in Android? I have one (under testing right now) and it works really fine and battery is excelent

Gino76ph

When it comes to front & rear cameras which one is better is strict terms of dynamic range, better low-lights (have built in night mode), true wide angle (to include more in the frame), better stabilization (OIS vs EIS or having both) and a clearer audio (192kbps or higher) when recording video for both cameras between the One Action and the One Vision)?

ThePiscean

RAM might not be that sufficient when compared to features and OS. Battery capacity is not good, 3500 mAH is nothing for this.

Adul Al Salami Kebab

Really wished they bumped up the battery on this model, I am not sure who to blame the Exynos from Samsung or Google for the lousy software causing the battery drain...

Ra

R u mad moto company, mobile thiknees 9.2 mm and battery only 3500mah, waste of money......

Gadget Media

yes Motorola One Action has Face Unlock Features

CptPower

Well that is no fuss and adds from others like Samsung Xiaomi Huawei etc with own bloatware system filled within its android.

REDNEX

there is only a 128gb option, no 32gb or 64gb

puvi

Any AI Features, Face Unlock ?

Shadocx

IMO, for that price, the only SoC it deserve is SD 660 or 675. Don't forget it's a Android One phone.

Akrosh Baruva

Overall the specification looks good. However I have few more points to add -> The display protection is not mentioned in the specification. -> Inclusion of 6GB RAM would be more competitive. -> Could have bit larger battery

Anonymous

Agree with late upatdes but you do get great user experience overall. I still recommend Motorola they do work really fine

Sandy

Gorilla glass protection is not available in this device

Anonymous

In the UK my experience with moto is unfortunately the opposite, really late updates and no improvements

riverhorse

I totally agree with you, finally someone steps up to the plate. About the only thing one could quibble with is only 10w fast charging- but this isn't supposed to be a flagship. The price looks too good to be true, unless the US version gets priced the usual higher.

phatmanXXL

6 GB RAM would've made the phone more future proof. That's the only disappointment.

alema

How do I make a purchase?

matthew8

My G6 Play also got Pie update but it stuck with February security patch. I also have Moto G7 Power and I got first (yes, first) update at the end of July (I'm using this phone from 19th February) with June security patch. Until then I had December 2018 security patch. Both phones were bought in Poland, retail. Where are you from?

sohail shafayat

Poor battery, narrow screen, NO

9.2mm thickness and 3500mAh battery.....hmm, ok

Janika

Our Moto G6 Play is running Android-9 Pie with all the latest security updates installed. Think Motorola/Lenovo is improving on the update department. They don't wanna go down the LG route, so learning from the mistakes of others.

aknsreddy

Small battery. I wish they don't come to India, why spend money on phone which fails. They don't even recover press meetings and advertising cost.

SDBud

Not bad, but I recently went to an Honor 8X, and am TOTALLY satisfied. Lenovo/Moto is WAY too slow on OS updates.

Worst design

CptPower

With SD CPU ok but Samsung exynos is famous for being slow and overheating issues thanks no. At this price pouint there should be SD730 or something like that.

Adul Al Salami Kebab

Please tell me the 250eur price is not for the 32GB model or they have lose their minds! O3O

Adul Al Salami Kebab

I disagree the specs are good but the price is not! O3O

CptPower

Man no its not. I have my Moto X4 and is awesome phone. I love motorola brand for me looks pretty and unique but not at this price for this low specs.

CptPower

My Moto X4 bought first day of sales in mid october 2017 costed like same and is 6/64GB wtf. And no samsung laggy buggy overheating CPU but SD630 at that time awesome phone and still my main. After almost 2 years works like brand new and i am heavy gamer.

4GB Ram is not enough to power android today. It's okay for everyday tasks, but even the pixel 3 stutters and is said to be the perfect hard-/software solution. Moto has actually no fixed the camera - on the one vision you get a nice light-leak...no more moto for me if they don't move on soon (and no, I dont need high end specs).

CptPower

300 for a 3/32 phone is a joke. How could they do this to customers???

Anonymous

Disappointed at this and have been. I was waiting for Motorola to actually realese a good decent phone that actually could compete with others in the same price but they are always very low in specs. Motorola need to look at other phones at the same price and see that they need more and increase the price so people actually see it as a worthwhile phone as Motorola has probably one of the best os' I have used as it's basically stock.

Anonymous

Better wait on your chair, motorola has claimed that would not realease such model

Anonymous

True :( you have to blame Lenovo, they're the ones rrsposnible for Motorola .... Still no news for the razr phone

hmm

It's a bit expensive for the hardware. Exynos is around SD 660 range cpu. So hardware wise it's around 150 euro worth tops, but it has Android One so only that OS cost 150 euro more. Lenovo have better choices for the lower price then this one and they both are Lenovo's anyways. For example Z6 from Lenovo that is with SD730 and amoled screen for 250 euro. Yeah dont have android one but then again android one seems to be more expensive then skinned versions
