Reviews for the Motorola One Vision
The Motorola One Vision follows on from last year's Moto One and aims to set new standards with an updated display and improved camera. What was good, stays - at least that is what the manufacturer indicates, keeping the "Android One" name. Is this a good mixture?

This well-priced and specified phone shows that a mid-range device can deliver the goods without costing the earth. We'd have even greater things to say about it if the screen aspect ratio wasn't as elongated and the punch-hole wasn't as huge. Oh, and now that there are droves of Moto One phone options - Hyper, Action, Zoom, Macro - the water has become somewhat muddied.

If anyone looking for a low-cost phone asked for guidance, I'd recommend taking a look at the One Vision. While the Motorola One Vision isn't the best mid-range on the market, it's worth considering. The Motorola One Vision costs $455 CAD outright at Koodo.

This latest phone has some nice little extra features, it also is Android 9 and has a pure Android operating system so no skin added this is called Android One but this means with no extra skin to slow it down it is really fast.

The Motorola One Vision doesn’t redefine what a handset this cheap gets you in the way that the Pixel 3a does but it still manages to give it a shiny new coat of paint. It’s rare to find a $499 handset that looks and feels this good and, if nothing else, the Motorola One Vision articulates a much clearer idea of what a more expensive Motorola phone could look like. It might be more concerned with style than substance but it’s been a while since you could honestly say that about a Motorola phone.

The Motorola One Vision redeems Motorola's Android One-powered series and delivers a fun, ambitious budget phone that's far from perfect, but full of surprises.

There’s a lot to like about this smartphone such as overall smooth performance, acceptable camera quality, Android One operating system and more. However, the most touted feature of the phone which is its 21:9 relatively taller aspect ratio is something which is only useful if the more contents are made available by providers. As of now, the screen just shows big black letterboxing at both top and bottom which compromises on the overall viewing experience. However, at the price of Rs 19,999, Motorola One Vision caters most of the users' requirements for day-to-day usage. Those who are Motorola users and look forward to upgrading from their previous Moto device can buy this phone. For the rest, there are several other smartphones from brands like Xiaomi, Samsung, Honor that offers much better value for money.

The Motorola One Vision attempts to solve the pain-point of good imaging and a good display and in that, while the One Vision's display takes time to get used to, it's actually quite helpful in both ergonomics and visual experience.The One Vision's camera however is largely inconsistent especially while shooting under tricky conditions, but it does have one of the sharpest night modes. As for the performance, it's nothing extraordinary but does allow games to run smoothly. Read the full review to find out more.

Motorola has proven itself to make excellent phones at affordable prices and the One Vision appears to be no exception. This is a gorgeous device with some specs and features you wouldn't expect for under £300 including a decent screen and a 48Mp camera.

The Motorola One Vision stands out from the crowd as the phone is an Android One device, which is rare in this price segment. Nokia is the other brand that is still making Android One phones but is not as value-for-money as this one. While the phone may look taller, it is quite easy to handle but yes, it may not be for everyone. It does offer good performance, a capable camera, clean and smooth software, and almost good battery life. In short, if you don’t mind the taller 21:9 aspect ratio and a pretty big punch-hole in the top-left corner, you should go for it as the phone offers an overall good experience and is also priced good at Rs. 19,999 in India. It can be purchased exclusively through Flipkart.

The Motorola One Vision is definitely a good looking smartphone and gives very smooth user-experience, thanks to the Android One software experience. With a 3500 mAh battery, you can expect a day of usage without having to reach for the charger, that said, it comes with fast charging. The camera department could have been a lot better. Moto could have helped with 6 GB of RAM and better software for the camera; hoping that they fix it soon with required updates. If you are looking for a no-frills smartphone with good user experience, you would not be disappointed.

The tall display and egregiously large punch-hole may be off putting at first glance, but the well-supported software, surprisingly smooth performance, highly competent cameras, and sub-£300 price tag make the Motorola One Vision a great option in the hotly-contested affordable phone battleground. That’s all for our Motorola One Vision review. Let us know your thoughts on Motorola’s mid-ranger in the comments.

As reviewers, there are so many things that we have to keep in mind before delivering a verdict on a smartphone. Most of the time, phones earn recommendation due to the value and features they offer for the price, excluding the flagship ones that lead the way for budget phones. If I had to judge the One Vision solely based on features, it may not fare well with many phones that are priced cheaper than this. The battery life is just average and the cameras, despite packing some intelligent technology, don't perform as expected -- may be an update could fix this. Even the display, which is the One Vision’s highlight, isn’t great -- the LCD panel performs average and the oddly big hole-punch cutout for the camera does more harm than the old trusty notch.

With HMD Global’s Android One-toting Nokia entourage currently lost in a haze of decimals and pluses, the Motorola One Vision stands out as one of the most accomplished and, in spite of its ambitious Vision-ary pitch, straight-talking Android One propositions currently on the market. It also redeems the Motorola One line after the lackluster first attempt threatened to damage Motorola’s standing as a leading mid-range phone maker. The tall display and egregiously large punch-hole may be off putting at first glance, but the well-supported software, surprisingly smooth performance, highly competent cameras, and sub-£300 price tag make the Motorola One Vision a great option in the hotly-contested affordable phone battleground.

Thanks to Motorola One Vision’s tall body and punch-hole screen, the phone stands out in the crowd. It offers smooth performance, a good screen, a powerful speaker and a camera with OIS. Motorola One Vision offers nice low-light photography that is great for a mid-range smartphone. However, Motorola One Vision has a below-average battery life, the build is too thick, and the big punch-hole is an eye-sore. But all in all, Motorola One Vision is not a bad deal. While there are other alternatives available at this price range, the phone is worthy enough to make it to the list of phones to buy under Rs 20,000.

The Motorola One Vision has its flaws, but it delivers a most comprehensive experience in its segment. The phone’s tall aspect ratio screen is a delight to watch videos that are optimised for a wide viewing experience. Its camera might not match the versatility and quality of its competitors with triple-camera modules, but its night mode is one of the best in the midrange segment. The phone’s overall performance is smooth and the stock Android Pie operating system is swift and sleek to use.

The Motorola One Vision stands out with its appealing design and 21:9 display with a hole punch, a combination that is not found on any other phone in the Indian market right now. Stock Android is a big plus for users who want a clean software experience without any bloatware.

We'd have even greater things to say about it if the screen aspect ratio wasn't as elongated and the punch-hole wasn't as huge, but this Moto takes the fight to Sony and beats the Xperia 10 hands down.

If you’re after a mid-range Android phone with near untouched Google software, you could do a lot worse than the Motorola One Vision. The phone gets all the basics right and thanks to that Android One user experience it’s blissfully bloatware free. It’s also guaranteed to get updates to newer versions of Android, which is rare on phones around this price.

Motorola redoubled its efforts after the disappointing Motorola One, and came up with the much improved - if quirky - Motorola One Vision. It’s an improvement in virtually every department, and a worthy budget phone contender with a beautifully pure OS.

The Motorola One Vision at first looks like a repackaged Moto G7, but it may be more than that with its 21:9 aspect ratio display and powerful-looking rear camera.

The Motorola One Vision doesn't have the wow factor of its arch-rivals, but from what we've seen it gets nearly all the basics right and could be one of 2019's best mid-range smartphones as a result.

This isn't just another mid-range phone with no personality, it's a well-priced and specced handset with unique appeal; nowhere else will you get a 21:9 aspect ratio paired with a hole-punch front-facing camera. It outsmarts its Sony Xperia 10 competition, too, although whether you'll see any genuine point in the elongated display is up for debate.

The Motorola One Vision has what it takes to be a good mid-ranger and thanks to the cinematic screen and its punch-hole selfie shooter - the Vision can stand out in a crowd. Digging deeper, we found also the optical image stabilization helps the Vision to deliver one of the best low-light photos in this class, too. Unfortunately, the battery life is below average, while punch-hole's size is both an eyesore and on occasion an obstacle to the cinematic immersion. With those two the purchasing decision becomes much harder and very depended on how keen you are on stock Android. If you are into that then the camera alone can easily make you pick the One Vision over the HMD alternatives. If it's not a big deal to you then all boils down to which competitor is the cheapest in your market.

All things considered, for a price of around $300, this phone still offers excellent value for the money. It is fast, has tons of storage, the new tall and narrow format is easy to get used to, it’s comfortable for one-handed use, and its Night Vision photos turn out surprisingly great. And if those are your priorities, the Moto One Vision delivers.

Model: Motorola’s jump into the punch hole display scene comes in the form of its latest smartphone, the Motorola One Vision. For a start, its screen is a 6.3 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1.080 x 2.520 pixels in an aspect ratio of 21:9. This gives it a pixel density of 432 pixels per inch. The entire front panel is covered in Corning Gorilla Glass. According to some reviews, the screen’s color accuracy is not perfect but its 464 nits brightness is enough for normal usage under sunlight. The One Vision has a dimension of 160.1 x 71.2 x 8.7 mm, which is rather small for that screen size. To achieve this, the screen is maximized from edge to edge giving it a bezel less display. The front facing camera is embedded into a hole placed at the top left of the phone. This gives the phone a screen-to-body ratio of 82.5 %, which is pretty good for a mid-range device. At the back, there is a fingerprint scanner that works precisely and very quick. Interestingly, the One Vision features an Exynos 9609 processor which is more commonly used in Samsung phones. This is paired with a Mali-G72 GPU, 128 GB of built in memory and 4 GB of RAM. The internal memory can be expanded by installing a micro SD memory card. With all this specs, the phone can deliver some great performance in terms of multi-tasking and even gaming. This is made better with a clean version of Android, Android One.
As for the camera, the One Vision has a dual camera setup on the rear, one 48 MP wide angle sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor to assist with portrait images. At the front, there is a 25 MP single camera embedded into the punch hole. Unfortunately, this is not a wide-angle lens and getting photos of a wide-angle selfie is quite important these days. The Motorola One Vision has Bluetooth 5.0 for faster communication and the 3.5 mm earphone jack at the bottom is the rather important but not so common these days. The phone comes with a 3.500 mAh battery that supports 15 W fast charging via its type-c port. The phone is shipped in two colors, bronze gradient and sapphire gradient. The One Vision is a rather interesting phone but there are some serious competition for it. The main one is the Samsung Galaxy A50. It has a much better AMOLED display and even better specs to match it. Sure, there is a notch, but the punch hole surely isn’t worth that much more. Besides, the A50 has an under-display fingerprint scanner and a triple camera setup for the main, rear camera.
