Reviews for the Motorola One Action

78.1% Motorola One Action Review: Motorola smartphone unfit for YouTube fans | Notebookcheck
Motorola expands its One series with an industry first: A smartphone with an action camera. The Android One smartphone leaves a good impression as a whole package. However, it is not the perfect companion for everyone.
Motorola One Action Is an Action Cam with a Phone Problem
Source: Gear Diary English Archive.org version
The world of budget Android phones has really exploded in the last few years, especially with Google’s Android One program, which promises regular updates and a clean Android experience. Motorola has been at the forefront of budget phones punching above their weight class, and the Motorola One Action continues that tradition with an action camera in a $349 phone.

Motorola One Action review: Action camera hero or budget flop?

Like the One Vision before it, the Motorola One Action is a budget phone with a bit of ambition that isn’t afraid to have a little fun. At a time where most phones — especially cheaper handsets — are dull and derivative, the One Action is a breath of fresh air.

The mid-range Android device market is starting to become crowded. There are a lot of great choices out there and it is starting to become harder to recommend just one. But the motorola one action should at least be on your shortlist of phones to consider.

The Motorola One Action may not come close to competing with a flagship smartphone, but not everyone has $800 or more to spend on a smartphone every few years. This phone’s unique camera allows it to stand out, making it the perfect fit for someone who’s been eying an action camera to simply record more video or for someone who wants to vlog, allowing them to shoot, edit and post from a single device.

Motorola One Action Review: A Deal Of An Android One Phone
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
As far as pricing goes, it can even get better. Recently on Motorola's website it's been even more enticing and current sales have seen the price dip as low as $249 currently on Amazon. At that price, folks in the market for an inexpensive all-round decent performer and good battery life should definitely consider it. As it stands, we're awarding the Motorola One Action with HotHardware's Recommended award for its excellent battery life, solid construction, excellent (promised) software support, and a great entry-level price point.

Motorola One Action Hands-On Review: This Budget Phone’s All About Video
Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
We like the dedicated ultrawide video camera and how the phone's design evokes that of pricier handsets. We also like the specs, which look to be in line with other midrange offerings. Yet Motorola distancing itself from Android One could be detrimental to its users, and we’re interested in seeing how the Action Camera plays with third-party Android camera apps.

There are some good features here like filming landscape while holding the phone in portrait orientation and decent stabilisation. However, for an action camera, we’d expect the phone to be more rugged than it’s measly IPX2 rating. It's also limited to 1080p and there's the issue of not easily being able to mount the phone to various things you would with an actual action camera. You’re still getting a decent phone for your money, but it’s a shame Motorola hasn’t nailed it on the key selling point here. We still prefer the Moto G7 as a more all-rounder.

The Motorola One Action is one of the best budget smartphones money can buy. It has all the drive your average Joe will ever need, and more than enough built-in storage to match, a camera that won't disappoint, a screen that's simply fantastic, and it'll last a full working day.

Motorola One Action Review
Source: Mobygyaan English Archive.org version
The phone offers pretty good performance with a unique aspect ratio display and is quite smooth in its performance. While the camera performance is not great, it’s not bad either. And if you like recording videos, this might be the phone for you. The major downside of the phone is the battery life and the slow charging speed. The smartphone manager to offer good performance and a smooth experience, thanks to the stock Android 9 Pie OS out-of-the-box. Overall, the phone seems worth spending ₹13,999. If you feel this is not the one for you, then check out the Xiaomi Mi A3, Redmi Note 7 Pro, and Realme 5 Pro as well.

Motorola One Action Hands-On and First Impressions
Source: Mobygyaan English Archive.org version
Although there’s a lot more to see in the Motorola One Action, from our brief usage, the phone is quite impressive. The company seems to have got the basics right and in addition, the “action camera” seems to be the phone’s USP. With the initial usage, the phone seems worthy of the price tag of ₹13,999. However, we’ll be reviewing the Motorola One Action in detail and the complete review will be published in a few days. Stay tuned for that.

80% Motorola One Action review: It’s all about the action cam and stabilised video
Source: The Indian Express English Archive.org version
To its advantage, Motorola One Action has a tall build that can be used easily with one hand, a good screen, smooth performance, nice sound, and gameplay sessions are good as well. The added bonus of the Action cam is a welcome addition and the high level of stabilisation in video recording is really commendable. However, Motorola has carried on the drawbacks of its previous Android-One powered device to the Motorola One Action, and that includes a not-so-good battery performance, a thick build, and a giant punch-hole. However, given the things it gets right at its price point of Rs 13,999, I would definetly suggest considering the Motorola One Action.

78% Motorola One Action Review: a phone with an action camera
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
At the time of writing this review, the Motorola One Action is available in a few international markets for the equivalent of about $290-$300. And, for that price, it definitely brings a lot of bang for one’s buck — especially if you are interested in the action camera feature. To put it in perspective — this is roughly the same price tier as a budget GoPro camera. And the Motorola One Action arguably delivers better stabilization and better sound recording than a budget GoPro. To top it off, it’s an Android phone — you will be able to instantly sync, upload, or even remix your clips straight on the phone.

After going through all the parameters in-depth, the Motorola One Action seems to have got the basics right and then some. As a smartphone, the One Action works, i.e. it is smooth and can handle daily tasks easily. The cameras are good for a phone under Rs 15,000 and the Action Camera is surely a useful thing for content creators.

Motorola One Action review: Remarkable for innovation, wanting in prowess
Source: Business Standard English Archive.org version
From calculators to audio players, smartphones have over the years integrated features from diverse product categories. In time, they might replace action cameras, too. The Motorola One Action is a capable smartphone that will be remembered as the phone that introduced the concept of action cameras in smartphone. However, it is not the phone that can replace the action cameras. Besides recording ultra-wide videos in portrait orientation, there is precious little that is special about the phone’s video recording capability. Also, the phone does not have any ingress protection rating for water and dust resistance which further diminishes its utility as an action camera device.

At the price of Rs 13,999, The overall specification of the Motorola One Action is also in check with optimal performance, acceptable camera quality using the primary sensor, Android One operating system and more. The irony here is that the Motorola One Vision, which feature almost similar hardware specification costs Rs 5,000 more just for the 48-megapixel sensor. The bummer here is again the 21:9 aspect ratio which as of now sounds like a gimmick. But maybe in future when more contents in that aspect ratio will be made available then this whole setup might start making sense.

The Motorola One Action is a slim, lightweight and good-looking smartphone from the company. The design looks modern and the display seems to be interesting. The Action camera-style video recording seems to be a new concept in the smartphone industry, though the actual implementation is yet to be tested out. The software is clean and bloat-free. As for the competition is concerned, it will face stiff competition from the likes of Realme X, Xiaomi Mi A3, Oppo K3 and more.

Ignore the seemingly gimmicky camera setup for one moment - which, it has to be said, captures steadied and smooth video - and the Moto One Action impresses for how well it performs overall at this price point. Sure, there are some foibles with screen and battery performance, but you'll struggle to find a better and more accessible phone for the money.

The Motorola One Action is available in Brazil, Mexico, and some European markets with a starting price of starting at €259. Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific launches will follow, and then it will come to the US and Canada in early October. It’s clearly not a flagship device, then – especially with that focus on emerging markets – but the Motorola One Action is nonetheless an interesting phone, and one to keep an eye on.

The Motorola One Action's one defining feature is also sort of its curse. The thing is, most phones in its price range already have ultra wide angle cameras and those would be ultra wide cameras you can also take pictures with, unlike the Action's video-only implementation. And it's not like the One Action impresses when it comes to the basics - its display is only so-so in the tests, battery life leaves a lot to be desired, and the selfie cam takes up a lot of space on the front, both physically and in software.

Comment

Model: The Motorola One Action is something that no one has expected to see it coming. Within the ever industrious and competitive scene of gadgets as well as smartphones, it is both a surprise and a comfort to learn that Motorola as a brand still has a spot among the top tier brands in the scene. The Motorola One Action has adopted the blueprint of a premium smartphone model by featuring not only a full screen display but also a rear dual camera setup, which is an honorable nod towards pre-existing smartphone models that carry the same design. Nevertheless, Motorola’s take on the production of the Motorola One Action smartphone is something worth taking a glance.

The announcement of the Motorola One Action housing the industry’s first ever ultra-wide action camera has immediately grabbed a lot of attention from interested audience all over the world. It markets itself as being capable of recording and capturing up to four times more within the frame thanks to the incorporation of this ultra-wide action camera. The setup for this ultra-wide action camera consists primarily of a fast-focusing 12 MP main camera with an aperture of f/1.8 in order to maximize the availability of light from the present environment. The 12 MP main camera is also paired with an additional 5 MP depth camera, which is capable of emulating blur or bokeh effects straight out from a professional photographer’s portfolio. This ultra-wide action camera setup is also supported by various features such as enhanced video stabilization as well as AI camera technology. The AI camera technology in question encompasses functions that include but not limited to smart composition, auto smile capture, portrait lighting and also optimization.

Furthermore, the Motorola One Action does not merely pride itself over the novelty of housing the industry’s first ever ultra-wide action camera. The Motorola One Action is by no means lacking in the storage department.
