Motorola One hands-on: a budget iPhone X clone
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2024
- Motorola officially announced the Motorola One and Motorola One Power at IFA 2018, a pair of mid-range Android One phones that offer a sleek, budget-friendly spin on Apple’s iPhone X design. But they’ll only be available in Europe, Latin America, and Asia - sorry, U.S. customers.

Would you buy a Motorola One or Motorola One Power if you could?
Yes!!!!
lmao
Nope
Pocofone
The Verge Oneplus ❤️
Lenovo ruined Motorola. I miss the golden days of Motorola especially the Moto X Pure edition.
Exactly.Look at the processor.Still 625.Its embarrassing.Even the cheap 150 dollar phones have 636
The pure edition came out under Lenovo...
Get over it, msn.
Buy the One Power and take a cup of coffee and..
Breath
Exactly
I did own Moto X Pure Edition but its poor battery put me off. I prefer the Glorious G Series, the series that put Motorola as Budget King in India. Those are nostalgic days for me :)
Snapdragon 625 Not a midrange chip anymore
more likely to be “outdated entry-level ”
it has been released for 2 years
Snapdragon 625, while still capable, is really starting to show it's age. Maybe it's a cost cutting method but we should've moved beyond that chipset by now.
They're now a processor for lower midrange phones, which is why they used it on Mi A2 Lite (also first used on Mi A1)
Agreed. Should've atleast put 630, which itself is pretty easy on the pocket these days. Nokia phones (similar clean software) with the 630 are going for as little as approximately 270 dollars where I live.
Anthony Turner 636 is better
Ikr. Like: there is even a snapdragon 845 now
*Rage comment mentioning the Pocophone F1*
Hugo Peregrina in India these phone gonna get raped
@@AbbasDalal1000 Ikr, this phone is dead on arrival. Motorola is always just a little too late.... Rip
It's not good for the u.s. just not enough LTE bands
Xiaomi Poco F1 and A2 as well as nokia 7 plus beast this out of the park and is cheaper
They also incorrectly mention how it's "close to stock android" because it's Motorola, that's incorrect, the phone IS STOCK android and that's because it's Android One
@@LzysGraphics Right on that
@@LzysGraphics they have been stock Android even before Android one.Moto g1 has been stock
Noooo way, The poco F1 is effed up with terrible durability and hardware while the A2, is kinda good but still it’s microphone is screwed up so therefore the only phone good enough is the Nokia 7
Also the Nokia 7’s price is more
I rather Buy a Essential for 249 Dollar.
Yeah but that's not a realistic price. The company is losing hundreds of dollars per sale.
A strong choice, but you won't get 3+ years of security updates with that. I can't imagine that Essential will still be around in 3 years.
@@ichinichisan AT least they said 2 years and It already has Android 9 so i am good
@@SixFingeredAmish thats true yes
Yeah right has all the essentials, except the headphone jack smh
Moto X 1st generation was one of the most innovative smartphone ever
I 100% AGREE!!!! mine is showing its age, plays pokemon go flawless, will NEVER get rid of it! Plz moto, give us a updated version of moto x with 1080p display🙏
But why did they have to make the notch so wide? This phones doesn't have all the sensors that the iPhone needed to cram in at the top. It's almost like it created a notch just to look like an iPhone
its exactly what they did
Francis hahahaha haha
There's a lot wrong here with this preview and it seems that The Verge didn't look at the market for midrange phones for quite a while. These are a few points about what's wrong with the information presented here:
1. The Snapdragon 625 is not 'in line with the market'. It's an old soc that isn't acceptable to use anymore because it's three years old and has had two upgrades already. I wonder if Lenovo will bump against the limits with the promised upgrade to Android Q, which might not be supported on this 2015 hardware
2. Android One is pretty common at this price range. Nokia has it on all phones, Xiaomi has it on a few phones and there are more. Updates promised for three years is also normal with Samsung being the only exception. Even Huawei pledged to keep midrange phones up to date and so had Lenovo with their Moto G6 phones.
3. A notch is no feature, it's a necessary evil. Also: why is it so big when there's no infrared hardware like on iPhone X?
4. The Motorola One isn't exactly cheap over here in Europe: it's more expensive than the more powerful, better equipped Moto G6 Plus, from the same company.
All in all, I expect a preview to point out these things. I know for a fact The Verge is a legit journalistic enterprise, but previews like this can fuel a suspicion that Motorola's bought positive coverage. That's not possible at The Verge, I know, but a lot of people know what I know about the smartphone market and the state of midrange phones at this point and can point out where this preview lacks insight.
The 625 has been out for 2 years, but yeah, it's been out for too long now and needs to retire. In regards to this hands on putting Moto in a positive light, I think it'd be interesting to see the competition just to show how average Moto offerings are. Particularly with phones like the Xiamio Mi A2 or Poco F1.
Lenevo killed Moto.
I would really buy a moto z3 play or a g6.....
I don't want people to mock me by saying that I couldn't buy an iphone X so I got a clone.
How about you buy a phone that's good from your point of view and not worry about others mocking?
You should be the one mocking the iPhone X owners for spending 1000$ on a phone without a headphone jack ...
@@felixbublitz101 I tell them that they have bought a really bad phone by spending $1000 already. But people, always seem to love apple, no matter what.
@@GaneshShanmugasundaram but neither I nor others (usually) like this phone. I don't like copied phones. And, I do not care (usually) what others say.
Me too, for me the real deal break of this phone, and others like xiaomi, is the design that is almost a copy from iPhone X
Motorola One
GSM Arena: ''Unfortunately, no, it's not glass and has a very distinct plastic feeling to it. Even the accented rims around the camera lenses are plastic - again not the best material for durability. As we already pointed out, it would probably be a good idea to just keep the Motorola One inside a case.''
A'm really confused!
These are Lenovo phones with Motorola's branding, just to sell them at a higher price.
So true
I don’t get it what is a patent for a lot of the phones are clearly a copy of iPhones so what is the patent for all the budget phones are going to take over eventually if they look just like the other phones
Nice to see that Motorola is giving priority to India as an important Mobile market, Thanks Moto hope you will launch it with an aggressive pricing.
I love Android One....fast updates,wish many manufacturers adopted this
All budget phones are now worthless couse of the Pocophone F1 jesus it’s incredible what 299 can get u now
That'd be true if it ever came in the US to begin with
Agree
Xiaomi deals in user data.
The profit margin for their phones are generally around 5%.
@@GaneshShanmugasundaram is this true??? Please elaborate...
@@saniaasan here's a better explanation:
th-cam.com/video/esUOQpKNLsE/w-d-xo.html
Why would you copy a notch?
YouFGras Shut up idiot
Because it's a stupid attempt to be modern and seem different.
Anthony Turner which has failed miserably!
The status bar elements are really awkwardly placed -- they need more margin near the screen's rounded corners. I feel like these Android phone manufacturers have a disconnect between industrial design and software design Apple's phones don't.
This is awesome 😃😃
Eagerly waiting for Motorola One Power to come in India
its actually available in the USA at Best Buy and can be used on GSM carriers
Moto one looks better than other but still i will prefer to have cameras in center ...
I hate iphone for not giving camera in center 😞😞😞
“Motorola is android the way you want it” i agree! i’ve always been infatuated and it was my favorite android
I don't like the fact that most of the newest phones have thickened lateral bezels, despite having their up and down bezels narrowed
Muh right ear suffered terribly during that outro
Cheap trick used by Android one phones to be releasing at this time of the year with Android 8 and deliver 2 updates and be done with it rather than releasing these a month or two later with Android 9
Varun Dharmavaram correct bro. I hate this trick. Launch mob with old Android verison, provide new verison asap. Company, "Boom there u have one major update". 😡 😡
No The Quality of accessories is horrible . Previously Moto phone have update issue.
But it is Android one edition so update should be faster.
but the charger and battery is very bad
I watch all videos from you guys, keep making like this, love u guys
Most exciting design from Moto
Pocophone: hold my beer
One power has 5000 mah battery. Forgot to mention.
Android One revives my love for Nexus, since I am an Nexus owner
The 625 delivers great battery life
Why no another phones make fingerprint reader plus as a logo, That's really cool.
Almost every company is making a budget iPhone X clone
Everyone I tell you
Except Smasung and HTC which I applaud. At least for now anyway..
... Sad how low Android has gotten.
lenovo ruined motorola brand
No value of putting a "notch" with a big "chin" below. When the smartphone makers will stop copying 'apple'. You simply can't be and beat apple.
You shouldn't be and CAN beat Apple.
Aviral Sharma they can't beat Apple at all.
Only samsung and apparantly huawei can beat apple.
Chris selling low priced, subpar phones with a bloated mutated version of Android by Huawei doesn't equate to Apple. Samsung competes with other Android manufacturers primarily. Apple has their own ecosystem, silicon and product line that cannot be matched by either of them.
They lost their way and dont know how to be uniquely different anymore. Such a shame because that's the very reason why I left Apple in the first place.
It does not matter if the phone looks like an iPhone, people do not buy Apple iPhones because of the looks of the devices. People want the Apple ecosystem and the software.
It's not cheap for that form factor. It's cheap because of it. Notched screens seem to be the cheapest available and most budget phones have them.
It doesn't matter if it has copied iPhone. If price is good, one should take it
Pocophone F1 already killed these phones! Dang Moto, I’m so sad you guys couldn’t put more power in these ones! No go for me.
It’s in the 200$ range you’re welcome 😉
What's the point of the notch if there's also a bottom chin? Just have a top bezel the same size for symmetry!
The notch is a temporary concession, so odd that just because Apple does it Android makers think that it's a feature. Apple only did it because they had to have a FaceID camera.
"Apple sucks"
*year passes*
"WE TRIED TO MAKE IT LIKE APPLE YOU LIKE IT PLEASE BUY IT IT HAS A NOTCH BUT ALSO IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE FACEID JUST A BACK SIDE FINGER READER"
Does Verge even keep a track of the phones available at lower prices with the "iPhone clone" moniker?
Could anyone tell me since when is the huge-iPhone-X-notch-and-still-big-bezels style considered to be a selling point of a phone?
Buying this
Wait I take back my comment. This is actually awesome design.
Can't believe that the company that made the world's first mobile doing this 😔😔
I'm proposing to buy an Android One phone to escape all the bloatware Samsung continues to push to my current device. However, as I understand it photos are saved to the Google Cloud which is not something I want because it means I have to go online in order to view them.
So my question is can this behaviour be avoided by having photos saved to internal storage, or possibly to an SDcard by using a camera app?
its 150 usd now in KSA
Eu amo essa logo da Motorola lembra os RAZR
the sound quality of the ifa videos are poor - why?
I'm considering the Motorola One for a 2 week trip to Mexico, and don't really want to travel with my Note9, since it'll cost me a lot more if I break it. Can anyone tell me about their experience with the Moto One?
He said the same thing about 5 times.... Could've been a 1.5 minute long video
We live in a society where saying the product a clone is taken as compliment m
People will be thinking I got an iPhone X having this phone out.
Actually on Amazon, the Moto one is less than $200
Wait is it coming to America?
Stop calling every phone an iPhone clone.
When it is an iPhone clone... it is an iPhone clone.
I have Motorola g5s plus..is it good to have notch?why ppl have been discarding notch any reason
when is the date to launch in India?
I get it. You love your iphone.
Honestly it is a sleek device. Obviously it's meant to be a cheap clone of the iPhone X. However the software is gonna be awesome!
Notch+Chin = iPhone Clone !
Love it.
Pricing will be Important in India . 🕵️
How much price and when is launching in India
Still Pocophone F1 has a SnapDragon 845 at $300 with an iPhone X face unlock technology and more.......
verge.. you get a C+ on this review... he needs more panache.... that quirky vergeness
Well, first of all, this is NOT review but hands-on since this phone is not available yet in the market. And secondly, this is verge, they're always and forever comparing it to apple product.
It's a 3 minute hands on about basic specs and information.
Co
Will this phone work in USA? If I buy this phone in India, will it have good connectivity of internet there for TMobile service?
Wtf, I'd stick with my Xiaomi Mi A2 lite thanks!
Oh man, how did a mistake such as incorrectly stating that it is close to Stock Android because it's Motorola pass through editing? The phone is STOCK android because it is Android One. 1:25 "being Motorola phones..." 2:42 "running Android One" Corrected towards the end
How's your experience with Xiaomi Mi A2?
@@anthonyt425 great phone so far! No significant slow downs using over 60% storage will have to see slow down over time
Francisco, thanks for bringing that up, You're definitely going to want to get a screen protector, the screen is not as good as flagships and even most budget devices, it gets scratched by a lot of things.
Awe... It's super cool with light price tag.
Love from India.
Charles Xavier what did you see?
The essential phone was the first device with a notch not the iPhone 10. FYI 🙄
One power price ?
Please Do Camera Review of One Power
It's a literal EXACT clone of the iPhone X
Im using motorola and i love it
quanto custa ?
PSA: $300-350 is not budget. It's mid-range. $100 phones are budget. That's all.
Completely agree. I think the rapid increase in phones has seen a disoriented perception in pricing. It's almost like how 1+ is a great value despite being over $500 now.
Thats your budget lol. Not for the smartphone market.
Moto C, an LTE phone for $89. That's budget. Unless you don't think it's part of the smartphone market to fit your definition. a.co/d/g7vJrGD
The reason I searched this phone is that I wanted to ask why? why the notch yet there's a slight chin. The point is to eliminate the bezels but notch is supposed to house the camera... Motorola, what's on your mind? "lenovo"? srsly tho... take Motorola seriously.
“Hey it’s xhqwwym with the verge”
I miss my old Milestone
Why no one power for europe :(
Half the people complaining about this phone don't even live in a market where the phone will be sold
Any news about the quality of low light photos?
*Who's next with a notch*
So none of these phones have nothing to do with the US.... Ok... Thanks for the review?
Since when is 299€ a good price for a phone with a snapdragon 625..?
As i know Motorola one have plastic frame not a metal one
You could record 5 minutes of a refrigerator and it would have more personality than Hiam.
Finally, Nokia and Motorola has caved in for the notch. Apple just ruined the budget Android market with a single phone and Samsung isn't working for it.
Apple foots the R&D bill and every other company just copies it whats new lol
First logo ive seen in the fingerprint scanner, not sure if i like it or not
the thing about android notches is they don't need a notch. They are just mimicking the iPhone to boost sales which is sad. They have a notch and a HUGE BOTTOM BEZLE which makes no sense and looks ugly.
For $300 buy a Pocophone.....motorola...just sell it at $100... people will go crazy.
should i buy nokia 6.1plus or motorola one power??
Is this phone are having ois or eis camera?????
Remember when the oneplus One was top end and $250?
Bless you.
What is the battery capacity of motorola one power
