Design
Motorola phones have always been distinguished by a specific design. For a long time, the company was not influenced by the fashion trends in the market, but finally inclined to adopt the so-called notches. We see one in the Motorola One. This device is primarily characterized by the fact that on the front side does not offer anything special. On the back, it looks interesting. The body of the smartphone is made of glass-like plastic. It is this that covers the rear.
Display
The screen diagonal of the Motorola One is 5.9 inches. The display is IPS with HD+ resolution (1520×720 pixels) and 19:9 aspect ratio. The pixel density per inch is 287 ppi. This indicator is not impressive, but it is not a reason for dramas. You'll have no problem reading the information on the screen.
Performance
Under the casing of Motorola One is embedded an old-fashioned processor. We are talking about Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 combined with Adreno 506 graphics. The RAM is 4 GB.
Once you start working with the smartphone, you find that despite the initial doubts about the performance, the device copes excellently with different workloads. In everyday use, the One works flawlessly. It performs all tasks, there is no stalling. Of course, this is not a phone on which a gamer will whirl.
Cameras
The main module in the Motorola One consists of two cameras located on the rear panel. The first one is a 13-megapixel one and the second one is a 2-megapixel one. The main lens focuses using PDAF phase detection. The second, which has a lower resolution, measures the depth of the frame. That is, it is loaded with the bokeh effect.

The Motorola One's front-facing camera is 8-megapixel. The quality of selfies is good.
For video, you can expect a maximum 4K resolution and 30 frames per second. In Full HD mode, you can shoot at 60 or 30 frames per second.
Fingerprint scanner
In the Motorola One, you also get a fingerprint scanner to be assured of the security of the data in it. It's always active. The scanner works satisfyingly fast and accurately.
Autonomous operation
At Motorola, they have opted for a 3000 mAh battery. This is a common indicator for mid-range devices. With moderate use, Motorola One will serve you a day and a half. Don't worry about being left without a charge. The device supports Turbo Power fast charging technology. It takes about 80 minutes to raise the charge from 0 to 100%.
