| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Looks snazzy - the plastic chassis is finished in 2 colour gradient, which fades from a darker to a lighter shade as you cast your eyes downward
- The front has pleasingly rounded edges and slimline bezels with a tear-drop notch that look striking, for a phone at this price
- Decent fingerprint sensor at the back
- Vibrant, large 6.5-inches IPS display - the images on the screen have a good amount of pop thanks to the display’s reasonably high contrast
- Motorola continues to keep the software on it's phones clean, and simple - it's basically stock Android with a few useful Moto add-ons
- Decent performance from the dated MediaTek Helio P35 - the phone feels fast when jumping from app to app and there's no issue in regular use, thanks to the clean and light software Motorola uses
- Good triple rear camera setup - a 16MP primary module, a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor
- The primary camera takes decent photos in daylight conditions and the HDR image processing also does a good job at boosting the saturation of the scene and images have a pop in them
- Low-light shooting is surprisingly good for the price - images appear bright, and the camera does an excellent job of teasing textures out from the shadows without adding too much visual noise
- The macro camera is a lot of fun to play around with - it’s capable of capturing intricate details on the smallest objects, from a macro distance of 2 cm
- The 8MP selfie camera does a good job at taking clear sharp photos and it also offers a selfie portrait mode, which works well
- Excellent battery life from the 5000 mAh battery - a full charge will easily last you for 2 days of regular use
- The Motorola Power Lite offers clear software, excellent battery and a good set of cameras for the price, if that's all you're looking for, it does the job well
|
- Glossy gradient back - looks nice, though not quite as eye-popping as the colour options on Redmi smartphones
- Decent build quality and tactile buttons
- Good 6.1-inch HD+ display - produces bright and vivid colours, making it great for watching videos on YouTube
- True to Motorola style, you get clean and simple stock Android (+ a guaranteed update to Android 10) - mind you it's not an Android One series phone though despite the 'One' moniker
- The minor Motorola additions to stock Android are those that make the user experience even better - there are the Moto navigation gestures as well as the Moto Display, both of which make it easier to live with when compared to any other stock Android phone
- Very good performance for the price bracket with a solid MediaTek Helio P70 chipset (similar to Snapdragon 660) - both day-to-day use, and gaming is smooth
- Laser autofocus is super fast
- One of the key highlights of the One Macro of course is it's unique (for the price range) 2MP macro camera that gives you some very interesting close-up photography options (the macro mode is available for both the still and video mode)
- It's very impressive in actual performance too, in fact surprisingly so - whether its daylight or under artificial light, the macro camera on the One Macro takes quite detailed photos - the colours are vibrant with good contrast levels and high brightness, and there isn't a lot of post-processing with the colours which means you mostly get what you see - and the lower 2cm focal length means that you can go quite close to your subject to get the photo you wanted
- The portrait mode uses the 2MP depth camera and it impresses too with good levels of edge detection
- Decent 8MP front camera
- While the One Macro only has to make do with a single loudspeaker but with the Dolby Atmos tuning, it is fairly good
- Very good battery life with a combination of a 4000mAh cell, stock Android, and an HD+ display - you can comfortably stretch this up to 2 days on a single charge, with moderate use
- Fast charging support (though the included 10W fast charger isn't the most powerful)
- On the whole, the One Macro looks like an excellent stock Android option in the under 10k price bracket, that will please the Android purists - it's worth buying not just for its unique macro camera, but also as a great all-round budget phone
|
| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- At 200g, the phone is reasonably hefty
- It also picks up greasy fingerprints a little too easily
- Sunlight legibility isn't great
- However, this is not the most powerful phone at this price and gaming on this phone is a no go - the Realme Narzo 10A and C3 both offer outstanding performance at this price
- No fast charging
- However, if you want a bit more power in your phone the Narzo 10A is an excellent phone at this price, though it's not for stock Android lovers
|
- Like other glossy back phones, it will be a tough job to keep the phone clean and free of scratches - you will be better off using the bundled case
- The resolution could have been better - there are 1080p competitors available
- The main 13MP rear camera is more average though - in daylight, the photos wear a warmer tone and most of the details are softened - the dynamic range is also average - it's not quite a match to the other top camera phones in this price range
- As light levels fall, the main camera starts struggling with exposures and sharpness (and there is no 'Night mode')
