The phrase “new is well forgotten old”, like no other, reflects the dynamics of Motorola's development. It seems that the company did not pass by the popular hashtag # 10yearschallenge, because back in 2009, every second passer-by was holding a push-button mobile phone of this brand, and now, in the era of technology and artificial intelligence, the brand returns to us with hot new products filled with functions from top to bottom and opportunities. Motorola One Hyper - in our honest and detailed review!
Content
From the mere mention of the brand name, something familiar is in Russian hearts. So much we had to go with these phones. And the company began its journey back in 1928, but why do we need these chronicles? Let's go straight to the main thing.
Motorola arrived in Russia in 1993 and until 2011 successfully developed on the market. However, nothing lasts forever and soon the overwhelming success began to decline. Strong competition unsettled the developers, and amid serious losses, the company was forced to split into two camps. Motorola Mobility was taken over by the Chinese brand Lenovo, while Solutions was taken over by tech giant Google. It is fair to say that as a separate organization Motorola no longer exists, as they say - only the name remained from the former legend.
The position of the first camp for 2019 turned out to be much more successful, after all, the Celestial Empire knows how and to whom to sell. By the way, the guest of our review belongs to Motorola Mobility!
Little is known about the release of the smartphone, but we managed to get detailed information about the appearance.
It is not surprising that it is in China that all gadgets have been produced too large for several years. Motorola One Hyper, for example, has a 6.4-inch screen diagonal. Users' hands only have to get used to the sixteen-centimeter dimensions. In a man's palm, the phone lies confidently, while in a woman's, and even more so, a child's, it prepares an escape every second.
This can cause a number of inconveniences, primarily due to the materials. The base supposedly consists of glossy plastic, which collects dirt quickly and loves scratches. Secondly, the surface is slippery, so along with the novelty, we advise you to immediately look at the case. However, this has its advantages. As we have already found out, the Motorola line is created under the auspices of Lenovo, which means that all models have the same design (and why be wise?). There are no backlashes or gaps on the case. The camera consists of two small sensors located in the upper left corner. The One Hyper counter was immediately hidden. Like Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi smartphones, a circular fingerprint notch appeared in the middle. It reacts quickly, but, like everyone else, will refuse access if the surface is dirty or the fingers are wet. The developers surrounded it with an LED ring or, better to say, an original sensor that reacts to charging or messages.
The brand also brought some interesting things to the display. The queen of this release is the pop-up camera, undeniably associated with Men in Black. This solution fully reflects the idea of a frameless screen. One Hyper has done the best job!
Standard set:
The model is made in two colors to choose from: blue and black.
The range is small. Perhaps, behind the dark colors, the brand tried to hide the soiling of the case, but you can't hide anything from us!

It is necessary to collect information about a new product literally bit by bit, about the price, or even at all, just guess. The phone will probably fall into the budget segment, despite the tricks with the front camera. Let's find out why!
A huge 6.4 ″ display is covered with an IPS LCD liquid crystal matrix. It is quite cheap, but we do not recommend writing it off. For example, in Hollywood, the IPS matrix is adored. It reproduces saturated colors without distortion, in general it is much more durable than the same Amoled, and also very bright. With such a large screen, its qualities are truly irreplaceable. The image remains unchanged regardless of the time of day. The smartphone supports the reading function so that the eyes do not get tired of blue.
Resolution 1080 x 2340 pixels, and their density reaches 403 ppi. One Hyper plays detailed games and 4K videos with ease, which is great for a cheap phone. It is also easy to read books, watch movies with it, because the font and size of the icons can be adjusted for yourself, but we will talk about this in the next section.
The insides of One Hyper brand will also delight us. Judging by the official announcement, the phone will run on Android 9.0 (Pie). Many developers want to get it or repeat it. Android has top-notch features such as gesture, predictive, battery control and privacy. The transition between applications is fast, no more than 3 seconds. The widgets are optimized, and if desired, the desktop can be completely changed.
The Android One shell, which is separate from all Google releases, will complete the picture. Its first advantage is regular updates. It is not necessary at your own risk and peril to download a convenient, but recently released firmware from a third-party site. With this shell you will be one of the first to receive development notifications.
The second plus is the reduction in energy consumption. The system carefully monitors applications in the background (often extending the life of the smartphone by 1-2 days). Also, the model will be preinstalled with basic applications, such as antivirus, library of music, books, optimization, and they will not have to waste memory or charging.
The third is simplicity. By logging into one application, you can easily log in to another. All linked cards and passwords are also saved.
Interesting fact! According to rumors, after the release of One Hyper, it will update to the fresh Android 10, which will give it a chance to get into the TOP of the best smartphones of 2019.
Inside the Motorola One Hyper, we also found a nimble Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor, which easily overtook the previous and subsequent versions. Just look at the tests.
Geekbench:
Antutu benchmark:
As you can see, the difference is significant. It is a processor 11-nanometer chip with 8 cores distributed over 2 clusters. The first has 4 powerful cores with a power of 2 × 2.0 GHz Kryo 460 Gold and 6 × 1.7 GHz Kryo 460 Silver, complemented by the world's best AMR architecture. They are responsible for challenging tasks and 3D games. Gamblers criticized the chip, as online shooters such as Asphalt 9 will seriously freeze. In contrast, WoW players praised the performance. Another cluster took the remaining 4 cores for system adjustment and simple tasks. Critics point out that the speed and results are so high because of the Adreno 612 video processor. In general, the phone's power is increased by 20%.
One Hyper has a 4000 mAh non-removable battery. The figure is good in terms of the world standard, but remember that our phone has a six-inch screen, and everything will fall into place. The value for Motorola is low, its maximum is 1 day using the Internet and listening to music. In standby mode, it will last for 1-2 days. Streams video to smartphone for 13 hours. The fast charging function corrects the situation a little (there are no exact indicators), however, One Hyper is not at all suitable for active gameplay.
We're getting to the most interesting part of our review. As already mentioned, the camera in the new product is not simple, but everything is in order!
The main camera consists of two lenses. The first is 64 megapixels, with an aperture of f / 1.8. If you have understood a little that now, we will try to explain and, most importantly, illustrate. The brand has endowed the camera with incredible value, we are not afraid to compare its quality with Apple products. Photos are sharp, the colors are rich, especially on a sunny day. Noise and fading have been eliminated in evening images, largely due to the aperture. This value is average, so brands often use it in budget smartphones. The aperture allows you to take a good photo regardless of lighting and angle.
The picture will be complemented by the second lens - 8 megapixel wide-angle. Most likely, it was conceived for shooting video, which, by the way, is displayed in 4K HD quality at 30 frames per second.
Finally, let's move on to the unique 32MP pop-up front camera. Its other name, more sophisticated, is a motorized lens. The term came to us from the world of photographers. Now selfies with Motorola are turning into professional shots, because one of the advantages of the lens is easy editing and image editing. The depth-of-frame function also adds magic to the pictures. The photos are as if they are alive, in good quality and without glare.
We should all follow the example of Motorola. Despite the complete collapse, she rose from the ashes and prepared hot new items that, you can be sure, will still have time to outshine the leaders of our time. This model perfectly combines high performance and exemplary cameras. Although other manufacturers are used to giving preference to either games or photographs. At the moment, even the date of the official release is not known, let alone the price. We hope One Hyper brightens up someone's life with its unique features!
