Motorola One hands-on: a budget iPhone X clone

2018-08-31
hey it's climbed with the verge I'm here at Aoife 2018 with Motorola's new phones we have the Motorola one and the Motorola one power the new bezel acid' range Android phones they run Android one and the big things that they have an iPhone 10 style notched display but like a much lower price point the moto 1 is going to be more widely available it will be available in Europe Latin America and Asia starting in October for 299 euros which works out to like three hundred and fifty dollars u.s. which is really cheap for a phone where you're getting this kind of form factor and at that price is honestly pretty great the two phones are pretty similar the Motorola one is smaller with a 5.9 inch screen and the design is a bit different it has Gorilla Glass 2.5 on both sides with a metal frame on the other hand you have the Motorola one power which will again only be available in India it's bigger with a 6 point 2 inch screen that's a bit of a higher resolution and it swaps out the frame from the glass on both sides to metal on the back and top as a headphone jack which is unfortunately a little rare to see on phones these days and extremely welcome here the rear cameras in the motor Row 1 are dual 13 megapixel shooters the front camera is an 8 megapixel selfie cam the Motorola 1 power for India bumps those both up a bit the rear cameras are upgraded to 16 megapixel lenses in the front facing cameras 12 megapixels both ones will be shipping with Android 8.1 Oreo running the Android 1 version which google promises security updates for for at least 3 years being Motorola phones they're also running pretty close to stock Android with a couple of enhancements here and there but both phones should be getting Android 9.0 Pi in the near future which should have additional software enhancements especially for those nozzles on top in terms of processor the Android one has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 well the one power has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 again these aren't quite top low-end processors but for a mid-range Android phone at the price points that these are reaching it's pretty much in line what you'd expect with the rest of the market storage and memory are also pretty good both phones come with 4 gigabytes of RAM 64 gigabytes of storage out of the box which can be expanded up to 256 gigabytes with microSD cards so I'm holding the iPhone 10 and the Motorola one and honestly I'm really impressed with the Motorola one again it's not quite the same level fit and polish that you'd expect from the iPhone the screen isn't quite as seamless with the sides the screen on the iPhone obviously has much higher pixel density it's brighter it's an OLED screen with the colors a little better but for the price at this cost which is again 299 euros around $350 in America it's a really impressive piece of hardware for a mid-range Android phone that has this kind of design in Polish Motorola seems to have something really impressive on its hands here and when you add in the fact that it's running Android 1 which is again nearly stock Android with just a couple of Motorola's enhancements here and there it's a religious great experience that you don't usually see from Android phones at this price range there's no extra you know bloatware installed it's just Android the way you wanted and right now just quickly it does feel pretty snappy the Motorola one is set to come out in Europe Asia and Latin America starting in October for 299 euros the Motorola one power will only be available in India at a later date and honestly if it came to America I'd probably buy one on the back of also a fingerprint scanner which is useful right side of the phone have your useful volume power buttons bottom is speaker USB C charging which is great right side is where the SIM card slot is and top has a headphone jack
