Motorola One Action Review: Motorola smartphone unfit for YouTube fans
The mid-range smartphone known as the One Action is the latest addition to Motorola’s One series. As the name suggests, the Motorola One Action aims to best the competition with its camera setup. In addition to the eponymous wide-angle action camera, the One Action has two other rear shooters and a 12MP hole-punch front-facing camera, which is located in the upper left corner of the 6.3-inch 21:9 display. The LCD panel has a native resolution of 2520x1080.
Just like the One Vision, the One Action is powered by the Exynos 9609. The One Action comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Here Motorola relies on Universal Flash Storage (UFS), which is not par for the course in this price range.
The One Action is an Android One-based smartphone.
The Motorola One Action came out in mid August with an MSRP of 259 Euros ($290). The competing devices include: the Samsung Galaxy A50, the Xiaomi Mi 9T, the Sony Xperia 10, the Huawei P30 Lite and the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE.
Case - Tall Motorola smartphone with a 21:9 screen
The One Action bears a striking resemblance to the sibling model known as the One Vision. The front of the device features a hole-punch camera, which is what makes the bezelless design that the One series is known for possible. The screen-to-body ratio of the One Action amounts to 82%, which is quite good. However, some competitors in this price range such as the Xiaomi Mi 9T offer a screen-to-body ratio of over 86%.
The case comes in two color schemes: Denim Blue and Pearl White. The build quality is on a good level. The look and feel of the device are also all right. However, the plastic material used for the back cover does not feel as good as the glass used by competing devices. Moreover, the plastic back cover can be bent in with a finger in the area near the Motorola logo, which is not something that makes the One Action feel very premium. That being said, the Motorola smartphone is IPX2-certified, which means that it is splash-proof.
The volume rocker and the power button are very well constructed, ergonomically placed and have a very clear actuation point.
Connectivity - Mid-range smartphone with UFS memory
Our review device has 128 GB of internal UFS memory. Only 110 GB thereof is available to users. The rest is occupied by the operating system. Those who need more storage space can insert an SD card with a capacity of up to 512 GB via the hybrid slot. However, SD cards cannot be used as internal storage. On the bright side, the Motorola smartphone supports the exFAT file system.
The included 3500-mAh battery is supposed to last an entire day and can be charged via the USB-C port. OTG functionality is also supported, which means that peripheral devices such as USB drives or external keyboards can be connected to Motorola’s smartphone. Users can also wirelessly cast the screen content to an external display. The smartphone with the 6.3-inch screen can play back DRM-protected content in HD resolutions, because it supports Widevine L1 DRM.
Moreover, our review device also offers dual-SIM functionality, a fingerprint sensor and an FM radio. The radio only works with the In-Ear headphones, a pair of which you can find in the box.
Software - Android One with Motorola features
Thanks in part to the Motorola One series, the Android One ecosystem is slowly growing. A significant advantage of the Android One program is long-term software support. The One Action’s OS will be updated to Android Q and Android R. It will also receive security updates for three years after the launch in August 2019.
The stock version of Android 9.0 is enhanced with Moto Experiences, including Moto Actions. To launch the camera app, you just need to turn your wrist. To turn on the flashlight, you need to give the smartphone two shakes. Both of these actions work intuitively and reliably.
Communication and GPS - One Action with NFC
The integrated Wi-Fi module supports the following wireless communications standards: 802.11 a, b, g, n and ac and operates in the 2.4 and 5 GHz spectral bands. With our reference-grade router Linksys EA8500, the One Action achieves transfer speeds of about 300 Mb/s. This is a good result for a smartphone in this price range, but it is not superb. Both the range and the signal stability are all right. However, our review device loses the connection to the Wi-Fi router from time to time.
The Motorola smartphone features support for Bluetooth 5.0. It also comes with an NFC chip, which allows the mid-range smartphone to use such payment services as Google Pay.
Because the One Action is compliant with the latest LTE specifications, the websites load relatively quickly when using 4G. In the mobile networks, the Motorola smartphone operates at LTE Cat. 12 speeds (download speed: 600 Mb/s, upload speed: 150 Mb/s). The built-in LTE modem supports almost all the bands that are relevant for Germany. However, there is no support for LTE band 28, the use of which is going to become much more widespread in the future.
The dual-SIM smartphone can take two Nano-SIM cards. Both SIM cards can be used to surf the Internet at LTE speeds.

Outdoors, the GPS module of the Motorola smartphone has no trouble determining the user’s location. Here it has a margin of error of about 5 meters (~16 feet). Indoors, the One Action is also able to acquire the user’s location, but it takes quite a while to do so.
In our practical GPS test, in which we use both the Motorola smartphone and the professional navigator Garmin Edge 500 to map out the same route, the One Action does all right. The difference between our review device and the professional navigator amounts to 60 meters (~197 feet). All in all, the GPS module in the One Action is good enough for day-to-day navigation.
Telephony and Call Quality - Moto One with Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE
The smartphone supports VoLTE, which enables users to make phone calls over 4G networks, and Wi-Fi calling, which allows users to make phone calls over Wi-Fi. We find the quality of the microphone to be satisfactory and our call partner describes the voices on the other end as clear and intelligible. Video calling over Skype also works well.
Cameras - One Action with the Action Cam
The main rear shooter features phase-detection autofocus, 1.25-µm pixel size and an f/1.8 aperture. The 5MP depth sensor in the triple camera array is responsible for creating the bokeh effect, which works rather well in practice.
The One Action takes decent pictures for a smartphone in this price range under good lighting conditions. However, the dynamic range as well as the sharpness could have been a bit better. The color temperature is not always correct, either. In low-light conditions, the One Action produces noisy and blurry images, which is not uncommon among devices in this price range.
The action camera of the Motorola smartphone, which can record 117-degree video at 1080p60, uses Quad Pixel technology with 2.0-µm pixel size and an f/2.2 aperture to record usable video in dark environments. The camera sensor has been rotated 90 degrees, which is why video shot in portrait mode appears as if it had been shot in landscape mode. Unlike with the 12MP main camera, the video stabilization of the ultra wide-angle action cam works very well– and the brightness level of the video is also okay. Unfortunately, the main camera cannot shoot video in 4K. 1080p is the highest possible resolution.
The pictures taken with the 12 MP front-facing camera are quite good and on the same level as those taken by other mid-range smartphones. The front-facing camera can record video at 1080p30.
Accessories and Warranty - One Action comes with a silicone case
The box contains a 10-watt charger, USB Type-C cable, plastic protective case, SIM card removal tool and a pair of In-Ear headphones. There is also a bicycle mount in the box.
The smartphone comes with a 24-month manufacturer’s warranty.
Input Devices & Handling - Motorola smartphone with FaceUnlock and fingerprint sensor
The capacitive touchscreen can recognize up to 5 fingers at the same time. It has a smooth surface and features an oleophobic coating. The One Action is controlled through gestures, just like Pixel smartphones. However, the animations are not as smooth.
The active fingerprint sensor on the back is not the fastest on the market, but it unlocks the smartphone very reliably. Our review device also comes with the feature known as 2D Face Unlock, which allows users to unlock the smartphone with their face. It works well but is not very fast.
Display - IPS panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio
The One Action is another smartphone from Motorola that has a Cinema Vision display with an ultra-widescreen aspect ratio of 21:9. The LCD screen of the Motorola smartphone has a native resolution of 2520x1080. It measures 16 cm diagonally and has a pixel density of 400 ppi. This is why both text and media content look sharp even when the smartphone is very close to the user’s face.
The maximum brightness of the LCD screen, which amounts to about 540 cd/m², is satisfactory and the brightness distribution of 93% is also all right. In our realistic APL50 test, in which the screen displays a pattern that consists of evenly distributed dark and bright areas, the brightness peaks at 544 cd/m². The maximum brightness with the ambient light sensor disabled amounts to 440 cd/m².

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM not detected |  | ||
In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8705 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Because of its backlight, the IPS panel of the One Action is not able to reach perfect blacks of OLED panels, which can be found in such smartphones as the Xiaomi Mi 9T and the Mi 9 SE. Moreover, the contrast ratio of 1312:1 is solid, but not very high. In our APL50 test, the contrast ratio proves to be a bit worse (about 1000:1), because of a decrease in luminance. However, the black value of 0.43 cd/m² does not change.
We use a photospectrometer running SpectraCal's CalMAN software to measure the color accuracy of the display. Both the mixed and primary colors (5.5) and the grayscale (7.7) deviate significantly from the sRGB standard. At 8465 Kelvin, the color temperature of the display is also too high. We can observe a bluish cast in day-to-day use.

The brightness does not fall significantly when the display is viewed at an angle and the colors do not become distorted when viewed from the side. Outdoors, users will have to make sure that the ambient light sensor is engaged, because otherwise the screen brightness will be too low. Moreover, the poor contrast ratio is not making things any better, either. All in all, the Motorola smartphone is barely usable in direct sunlight.
Performance - One Action with the Samsung Exynos 9609
The Exynos 9609 in the Motorola smartphone is a mid-range SoC from Samsung. It has eight CPU cores in two clusters: four Cortex A73 cores that are clocked at up to 2.2 GHz and four energy-efficient Cortex A53. The ARM Mali-G72 MP3 serves as the graphics unit. It features support for such APIs such as Vulkan, DirectX 12 and OpenGL ES 3.2.
In the benchmarks, the Exynos SoC that is paired with 4 GB of RAM is unable to compete with comparable smartphones powered by Qualcomm’s SoC’s. That being said, the Exynos 9609 is still a decent SoC for a mid-range device. In everyday use, the Exynos 9609 also feels a bit slower than the Snapdragon 712. However, the system performance of the One Action is still quite satisfactory, because it is an Android One smartphone. Navigating through the menus feels rather smooth, but there are occasional stutters. When multitasking, the Motorola smartphone starts to feel really sluggish.

Gaming - Mali-G72 MP3 in Motorola’s smartphone
Demanding 3D games from the Google Play Store such as PUBG Mobile or Asphalt 9 Legends are playable on low settings. On high settings, these titles stutter significantly.
Both the touchscreen and the sensors worked well during our review.
Emissions - One Action does not produce a lot of heat
Temperature
The surface temperatures never become critical. The One Action does not become uncomfortably hot even under load. According to our measurements, the surface temperatures of the mid-range smartphone peak at 37 °C (98.6 °F) under continuous load.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 37 °C / 99 F, compared to the average of 35.1 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 63.7 °C for the class Smartphone.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 35.5 °C / 96 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 31 °C / 88 F, compared to the device average of 32.8 °C / 91 F.
Speakers
The One Action is good at reproducing the mids and the highs, which is not something that many other smartphones in this price range can boast of. The maximum volume amounts to 85 dB(A). However, the mono-speaker sounds quite tinny at high volume.
Because Motorola’s smartphone features a 3.5-mm headphone jack, you will not have trouble connecting your favorite wired headphones to the device. Connected headphones do not sound noisy. The headphone jack outputs a loud, noise-free signal.

Battery Life - One Action lasts for a long time
Energy Consumption
When compared to the competition with Qualcomm’s SoC’s, the One Action consumes a lot more power. Despite a relatively energy-efficient 10-nm FinFET manufacturing process, the One Action with the Exynos 9609 consumes much more power than the smartphones with a Qualcomm SoC.

Battery Life
According to the specifications sheet, the 3500-mAh battery in the Motorola smartphone is supposed to last for 11 hours when watching video. We were able to indirectly confirm this claim in our practically oriented Wi-Fi test, in which the One Action lasted for 11.5 hours. In our experience, most smartphones last longer in the video test than in the Wi-Fi test. During our Wi-Fi test, the screen brightness is set to 150 cd/m². The Motorola smartphone takes more than 2 hours to fully change.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Interesting mid-range smartphone with limitations
At first glance, the Motorola One Action looks quite impressive, what with its good hardware, modern design and its innovative action camera. However, the so-called action cam seems a bit half-baked, because the smartphone is not water-proof. The video stabilization of the action camera works well, which means that anyone who would like to shoot video while biking will find the Motorola smartphone quite compelling. However, buyers will have to make a few concessions when it comes to the build quality, the speaker and the SoC. Moreover, because of its poor contrast ratio and color reproduction, the IPS screen of the One Action does not look very good when compared to OLED displays in the Xiaomi smartphones. In addition, the brightness is not high enough for such a device.
Even without the action camera, the Motorola One Action offers a good overall package.
Whether you like or loathe the smartphones with the 21:9 aspect ratio is a question of personal taste. However, YouTube fans will have to deal with heavily zoomed-in videos most of the time, because most videos on YouTube have a 16:9 aspect ratio, and videos with an 18:9 aspect ratio are also slightly zoomed in. The unusual aspect ratio means that videos will be either cropped or there will be black sidebars, which mar the video-watching experience.
