2-minute Review [Positives]	Well put-together, handsome and premium looking (plastic) design The narrow ergonomic profile helps as it fits snugly in the palm of one's hands - quite comfortable to use, even single-handed Fingerprint sensor at the back works quickly and reliably Responsive face unlock Good overall display quality with good contrast, and outdoor visibility The 6.3-inch, 21:9 IPS cinematic screen is also pretty good for enjoying 21:9 movie content available on streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Being part of the Android One series you get clean, simple stock Android + platform updates for 2 years Of course there are a few useful Moto customizations like a gesture navigation system, Moto Actions (a karate chop action turns on and off the flashlight while the twist motion launches the camera app and both work even when the screen is off), Peek Display (It'll display notifications and let you interact with them right there on the lockscreen plus it'll wake up when you pick up your phone), and Attentive Display (will keep the screen on as long as you are looking at it) The Exynos 9609 inside (similar to Snapdragon 710) delivers dependable performance across the board (day-to-day apps and games), on par with key rivals Good triple camera setup at the rear - 12MP primary + 5MP depth sensor + 16MP ultra-wide, that's rotated 90 degrees, and can be used to capture ultra-wide landscape videos Daylight photos come out pretty good - detail is good and noise is well controlled - dynamic range is good too Portrait shots come out nice too The front camera takes nice selfies with good detail and spot on skin tones - it features a decent, software based portrait mode too Video recording is of course where the One Action gets its name - it's meant to replace your action cam - the phone's ultra wide angle shooter is mounted at a 90-degree angle so that it captures videos in landscape orientation (which is how video is meant to be recorded) when you're holding the phone in portrait (which is how phones are meant to be held) EIS is available on both cams in 1080p resolution at both 30fps and 60fps (though the 4K footage of the main cam can't be stabilized) - and it works well Overall video quality is good (though not exceptional) from both the main and the ultra-wide camera The front camera does 4K video too, which is pretty neat to find on a phone in the One Action's market segment Overall camera performance is good for the price bracket Decent battery life with a 3500mAh battery - you will get the full day with moderate use - there are competitors who are ahead in this area though The One Action is a pretty well priced phone from the Motorola camp, and will get you some good value for money - it's a reasonable alternative to the likes of the Redmi Note 7 Pro (better performance, better camera, better battery, but no Android One advantage), Realme 3 Pro (again, better camera and battery, but no Android One advantage) - it's also especially worth considering, if you’re into producing video content or shooting a lot of action shots	The front has a notch-less display, that spans almost edge to edge, with a pop-up selfie camera mechanism (which is a rare sight in this price bracket) There's a handy button dedicated to the Google Assistant The rear-mounted fingerprint scanner is easy to reach and quick to unlock the smartphone Crisp, large 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel - it is HDR10 certified, and there are three colour modes to choose from - the display is set to the Saturated colour mode by default, but you can switch to the Natural or Boosted options if you prefer The lack of a notch helps make the screen appear immersive, and consuming content on the screen is a pleasure True to Motorola style, you get clean and simple stock Android - 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 Excellent performance powered by one of the best chipsets at this price, the Snapdragon 730G - there's enough grunt to handle day-to-day duties as well as heavy gaming with ease, PUBG Mobile defaults to the High preset Very good quad-camera setup - there's the 64MP primary, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle, a 5MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor In daylight, it manages good shots with ample detail, objects at a distance have decent detail - the phone also enables HDR automatically in bright scenes The ultra-wide-angle camera offers a wider field-of-view at the cost of slightly lower details than the primary camera - it has a slightly different colour tone compared to the primary camera Close-ups turns out quite well - the macro camera lets you get a lot closer to an object Portrait mode lets you set the level of blur before you take a shot - edge detection is good, and the background is blurred properly Night mode works surprisingly well, you've to hold the phone steady for slightly longer - but the output with Night mode is a lot brighter and have improved details in the shadows as well Selfies taken with 16MP selfie shooter has good details - you can also enable portrait mode for selfies, and edge detection is decent - the selfie camera also supports Night mode This single speaker is loud enough to fill a small room and adds to the video watching experience Very good battery life with the 5000mAh battery - it will easily last you for 2 days on moderate use The One Fusion Plus comes with an 18W TurboCharger in the box to help with fast charging Motorola has got the specifications and the pricing right for the One Fusion Plus, making it very easy to recommend - the highlight is its clean, bloatware-free near-stock Android software which provides excellent user experience and the notch-less display is a cherry on top
2-minute Review [Negatives]	The front has a pretty big punch-hole camera - it's hard to miss, and it's also not easy to ignore even after spending some time with the One Action - it's big and it's well inside the display which also forced the software engineers to stretch down the status bar to completely envelop the cutout, actually making it even more visible in a way - it also interferes with content in some apps With the tall dimensions, pocket-ability is not that great, so the phone will tend to protrude out of shallow pockets On the other hand, for videos shot in any other aspect ratio, you'll have to tolerate a huge black bar The ultra-wide camera can unfortunately only be used for video recording, not for clicking pictures Night photography is only ok, and there's no dedicated night mode The included 10W 'fast' charger isn't the fastest - you will get about 30% charge in 30 min, and a full charge in 2 hours 30 minutes	Reaching the top while using the phone single-handed is somewhat difficult Motorola One Fusion Plus feels chunky and heavy, as it is 9.6mm thick and weighs 210g Motorola has positioned all the buttons on the right, which looks cluttered while the left side is bare
