Motorola One Action smartphone: an overview of the characteristics

The Chinese company Lenovo plans to release two more Motorola One smartphones. Among the popular models, the new P30 (Motorola One) and P30 Note (Motorola One Power) delighted with their characteristics. They were released in China last year, it is not yet known about the sale in Europe. The exit was planned for May.

The first reviews of smartphones have already been released, which indicated the weaknesses of the flagships. For buyers, it was important how much the model costs. So Motorola One costs about 24,000 rubles. However, the users did not like the following features: the Motorola One's uniform design, the poor quality of the front camera, and the high cost. The price was not comparable to the hardware. The model was suitable for normal everyday use.

In June, the main characteristics of the new Motorola One Action smartphone became known. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the model? The article will talk about all the news regarding the release of the smartphone.

Specifications Motorola One Action

Well-known insider Evan Blass said that the standard version of the Motorola One will not remain alone in the lineup. It has already been supplemented by Motorola One Power, Motorola One Vision. The release of the Motorola One Action model is expected. These devices should be more specialized, i.e. each version is improved towards certain functions.

The Power model speaks for itself. It features a reinforced battery, so it can go without charging for a long time. The Vision version will delight users with an improved camera. You can take it on trips and take great photos.

What will happen to the Motorola One Action smartphone? It will be equipped technically. The main specialization will be protection and resilience. The body of the smartphone will be improved with shock-resistant materials, it will cope with moisture and dust. The smartphone will be protected from damage by mechanical shock. Fans of outdoor activities, travelers will suit this model. With it, all data will be completely safe.

Appearance

Action will have multiple designs. The sapphire gradient will delight you with formality and sophistication. The golden color also looks beautiful, especially in the sun. Prior to that, the company presented models with only a light gray panel.

The case, unlike the glass Vision (Vision only has a plastic frame), will be made of plastic, which will enhance the protection of the phone. It is not known about the security certificates.

The layout of the main buttons is standard on the One. On the back there is a fingerprint scanner with a branded letter M. In the left corner there is a module with cameras, a flashlight. The unlock and volume buttons are located on the right side of the handy device. The left part is equipped with a slide-out tray for SD card and nano sim.

The developers have not removed one of the main advantages of the One phone. Action will have a common slot for sim and memory card, i.e. you don't have to sacrifice one SIM card to increase memory. Therefore, the phone has dual sim technology.

At the bottom is the speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack and charging.

Screen

The model won't be much different from One Vision. The screen will delight users with a resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels. Diagonal - 6.3 inches. The resolution and diagonal of the standard model are somewhat smaller, but then the phone seemed more compact.

Full HD display is the standard screen resolution for many smartphones. The display is renowned for its high definition due to its increased PPi (pixel per inch). However, it requires increased energy consumption.

Buyers in the One version were not happy with the additional panel at the top. It greatly reduced the size of the small screen. In this version, the developers made a camera embedded in the screen. It's hard to say which option is better. Sometimes this split screen interferes with playing games, watching a movie, etc. However, this solution does not greatly reduce the screen size.

The screen works on an IPS matrix. It reproduces colors with good accuracy. Often many professional design monitors work on IPS. The matrix covers the largest number of shades. This makes the colors more realistic. This screen is perfect for active games, watching movies, photos. Due to the wide gamut of shades, night photos look richer. For travelers, it is important how a smartphone photographs at night, so they need to consider phones with such a matrix.

The liquid crystals of the IPS screen require little current, so the energy is enough for a long time. The screen provides equal autonomy when playing games, watching movies and surfing the web. However, the IPS panel has a long response time, low contrast and black saturation issues. It turns out to be less deep.

Smartphone protection

Chemically toughened Gorilla Glass 3 is standard on many rugged phones. It withstands mechanical shock. The protective glass was introduced in 2013. It has become stronger than version 2 and is more scratch resistant.

IP52 - enclosure with partial dust protection. Of course, a certain amount will still creep in. For a long service, this aspect will not disrupt the operation of a reliable device. The degree of protection provides complete protection against impact. Water droplets do not seriously affect the product. However, you need to be careful near water. The smartphone may not be able to withstand immersion.

CPU

The smartphone has an Exynos 9609 processor from the Korean company Samsung. The GPU keeps your phone running fast. The built-in modem ensures fast communication.

This model provides users with smart new opportunities for photographing due to the mechanism of perception of objects in the external environment. The nimble processor is multitasking. Therefore, the fast response of interface applications is provided by an 8-core 10-nanometer processor.

The processor consists of a 4-core Cortex-A73 (clock speed 2.2 GHz), which handles more difficult tasks, and a 4-core Cortex-A53 (clock speed 1.6 GHz). The A53 is tuned for tasks with low energy consumption. Autonomy is ensured by alternating the work of two advanced processors, so the device can boast of long-term operation.

The bit of the processor is 64 bit, 3 cores of the ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. It shows high frame rates even on the most powerful games.

RAM depends on configuration. You can take a phone with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. This model will be cheaper. There is a device with 4 GB of RAM and 64/128 GB of memory.

Camera

The Action Cam rear camera system has a 117-degree field of view.The phone captures a large number of objects into the lens of the main camera. Therefore, the photos are more saturated. The smartphone has dual LeED flash with touch focus.

The image resolution ultimately turns out to be 12.19 megapixels. Scene selection and autofocus provide sharp, varied shots. A large number of modes with optical image stabilization will make shooting comfortable and high quality. The phone has digital zoom, burst and HDR shooting.

The cameras will be designed for different lighting conditions with improved light capture. On examples of photos, you can see the differences between cameras.

The video has a resolution of 2160 with 30 fps.

The front camera has a resolution of 12.6 megapixels with f / 2 aperture (the Vision has 25 megapixels). For many people, it is important how the phone takes a photo from the front camera. This model has a serious deterioration in resolution.

Battery

The model has a 3500 mAh lithium non-removable battery. Approximate work in standby mode 3-4 days. Of course, the new generation models use more powerful batteries.

The phone fills the gap with the proprietary 15W TurboPower fast charging technology. The technology is needed for urgent recharging of the smartphone not up to 100%. The system works in 2 stages. First, the phone quickly charges up to 70-80%, while the device heats up. At the second stage, the device is charged in normal mode for a longer time. The only drawback of such charging is the heating of the device.

Thanks to this mode, the popularity of models working on it is noted.

Sound

Details on the sound quality are unknown, but the phone supports Dolby Audio while boasting an Audio Codec Qualcomm Acoustic. According to user reviews, the Vision had clear and crisp sound.

Perhaps this device also boasts of this.

The phone has active noise cancellation.

Other characteristics

The smartphone supports FM radio, has Type-C USB. The phone has additional sensors for gyroscope (orientation angles), proximity, light, compass, fingerprint scanner, accelerometer.

Internet supports:

• UMTS (384 kbps);
• HSPA + (HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, HSDPA 42 Mbps);
• LTE Cat 12;
• EDGE;
• GPRS.

Wi-Fi dual band (802.11 a / b / g / n / ac).

GPS supports:

• A-GPS;
• GLONASS;
• GALILEO;
• BDS.

The phone has an NFC chip.

The weight and dimensions of the phones are unknown. However, you can use the Vision model (180 g, 160.1 x 71.2 x 8.7 mm).

The operating system of the phone is Android 9.0. It can please with new functions, an increase in adaptive brightness, which adjusts to the user.

The package should include the following items: usb cord, charger, instructions. The Vision model had a rich bundle, so the box included headphones, a case, and a protective film. The manufacturers did not elaborate on the details. The cord length is average, thanks to Turbo Power the Motorola charging module will store a lot of energy, which will last for 9 hours of operation.

Price

The price of the smartphone has not been specified. Perhaps for the price it will be a more budget option. However, its characteristics differ little from Vision. You need to focus on the average Vision price (21,000 rubles).

Users were satisfied with the functionality of a productive smartphone for its price. In principle, Vision can be called inexpensive. Although the Action phone has a triple module, its selfie camera is reduced in resolution (from 25 Mp to 12.6 Mp). Therefore, innovations equalize each other.

It is important for the user where it is profitable to buy a smartphone. The details of this aspect are currently unknown. The first sales can be seen on AliExpress. The exact date is unknown.

Advantages and disadvantages

The company has improved the rear camera minus the front one. I am glad that the model has retained the same degree of protection. To answer the question: how to choose the right secure smartphone - you need to pay attention to certificates and degrees of durability.

1. Corning Gorilla Glass and IP52. Average smartphone protection;
2. Performance allows you to use your phone for multiple purposes (games, movies, photos);
3. Fast charging (15 V);
4. A good indicator of autonomy;
5. Improved triple rear camera;
6. Variety of designs;
7. Additional memory up to 1 TB.

1. Insufficient dust protection;
2. Embedded front camera;
3. Deterioration of the front camera by resolution;
4. The plastic coating often leaves finger marks.

Unfortunately, the phone cannot be compared in terms of price and quality. However, the main disadvantage can rightfully be considered the deterioration of camera resolution. The selection criteria for many people are now based precisely on the quality of photographs. At the same time, the front camera loses to the Vision models.

Some users noted the large size of the Vision smartphone. Action will be the same size.

Conclusion

Formed conclusions can be drawn when the smartphone is released. It combines the most necessary characteristics, and, therefore, is included in the rating of productive and protected smartphones.

The model is not inferior to its predecessors in terms of parameters. It has no performance gaps, so it cannot be called so specialized. An inexpensive smartphone will attract users with a triple rear camera. In other respects, it is similar to the Vision model. What model should you buy then?

There are three main differences between flagships that you need to pay attention to when choosing:

1. Deteriorated front camera, rear triple (for Action).
2. Improved design, same protection as Vision.
3. You can take different configurations from Action with RAM and memory.
