Motorola One: A Smartphone That Knows No Bounds

The sub-Rs-15K price bracket in India is extremely populated with smartphones from various vendors across the globe. However, when you name drop a brand like Motorola, you will surely be greeted with affirmations as this is a brand that has stood the test of time and you know for a fact that you will get a quality product; something which its rivals can’t quite claim to offer.

In step the Motorola One, a handset that’s been around from March this year. The Motorola One boasts some interesting specs which rivals can’t offer and if you want these features from another brand, be sure to pay through your nose for it.

The Motorola One as the name suggests runs on the Android One program. This means that you get a smartphone with an uncluttered OS that’s not just buttery smooth but also a pleasure to use. Being an Android One device, with the Motorola One you are assured of prompt security updates and be first in line to Google’s newest upgrades.

The handset sports a 5.99-inch HD+ IPS LCD display and since it comes with the trendy notch design, you get an 80.3 per cent screen-to-body ratio. To keep your mind at ease, the brand has also added a Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top which can survive a few accidental drops.  Under the hood, you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset that’s clocked at 2GHz which ensures that you can have a few ‘Chicken Dinners’ in your relentless PUBG Mobile gaming. Motorola has spared no cost by adding a 4GB LPDDR3 RAM that’s paired with 64GB of onboard storage which is enough to keep a ton of apps. Expect multi-tasking to be a cinch as well as apps can be easily pulled up from the background without any hassles.

As far as optics go, the handset features a dual camera setup on the rear with the primary sensor being a 13MP lens that’s assisted by a 2MP depth sensor. With the combination of the two, you should expect great shots in most lighting conditions. And due to the depth sensor, you can get great bokeh shots. If selfies are your jam, then there is a very capable 8MP shooter loaded up front.

Apart from being an Android One handset, the other major selling point of the handset is the battery added here. The Motorola One comes with a 3000mAh battery that’s optimized to perform at its best without heating up under load.

With the brand getting ready to debut a few more models from its One series, we can expect them to cement its place in this smartphone category.
