Over two weeks ago, Lenovo-owned Motorola launched the Motorola P30 in China which looks like an Android-powered iPhone X. And now, the company has further expanded its portfolio of products by launching two more smartphones – Motorola One and Motorola One Power. Both of these are Android One smartphones.
Motorola One
Being an Android One smartphone, the Motorola One runs stock version of Android 8.1 Oreo and Motorola has promised to upgrade the phone with Android 9.0 Pie which is the latest version of Android. Furthermore, Motorola has also guarantees monthly security patches for a period of three years.
The Motorola One sports a 5.99-inch HD+ Max Vision display that has aspect ratio of 19:9 and a notch up top. The back of the phone is covered by curved glass and is home to dual cameras placed in the top-left corners in vertical orientation. There’s also a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone which has Motorola’s signature bat-wing logo atop. And lastly, there’s also the Android One moniker down below.
The dual camera setup is a combination of one 13 MP camera and one 2 MP camera, and, on the front, you get an 8 MP single snapper for selfies and video calls.
Under the hood, the Motorola One comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 SoC which is paired with 4 GB RAM. The smartphone has 64 GB of storage on-board and ships with a 3000 mAh battery with support for Turbo Charging that offers 6 hours of power with just 20 minutes of charging.
Motorola One Power
In addition to Motorola One, Motorola has also announced the Motorola One Power. And, just like the One, the One Power is also an Android One smartphone, which means it gets the same software niceties that the One gets.
The design of the Motorola One Power is almost the same as the One, with the difference being that the One flaunts a glass back and the One Power doesn’t. Furthermore, the dual cameras on Motorola One are placed separately whereas the dual cameras on the One Power are placed as a single module.
Under the hood, the Motorola One Power comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 636 SoC running the show which is mated to 3 or 4 GB RAM. The 3 GB RAM variant comes with 32 GB of internal storage whereas the 4 GB RAM variant comes with 64 GB of internal storage.
The Motorola One Power sports a 6.2-inch Full-HD+ 19:9 Max Vision Display which is kept on by a large 4850 mAh battery. For photography, the Motorola One Power comes with dual cameras – 16 MP and 5 MP – at the back along with an 8 MP camera on the front. The smartphone also has a fingerprint scanner at the back with Motorola’s bat-wing logo atop.
“We’ve added two new smartphones to the Motorola family – motorola one and motorola one power. These Android One smartphones give you the Android experience you love, three years of security updates and let you do more with a smart camera thanks to Google Lens. That’s just the beginning, because with your favorite moto experiences included, these smartphones are ready for you.” said Motorola in a blog post.
