Motorola One
The Motorola One is a reasonably priced smartphone that offers interesting features such as Android One and a Dual Rear Camera but with its habit of not getting the exposure correct in photos and other smartphones, at a similar price, offering better camera specs (and often image quality), it may not be the first choice for photography fans. However, it does have some lovely design features - slim bezels and a top-notch - that make it appear more premium than it actually is but style doesn't trump substance in this instance.

The Motorola One, despite its smooth and stylish package, cuts the wrong corners and ultimately falls flat beside the even cheaper Nokia 7.1. It’s a disappointment, especially given how remarkably well Motorola’s $200 to $300 Moto G line strikes that balance of price and performance.

Fica claro que o objetivo da Motorola com este novo aparelho é experimentar com um novo formato de celular, cujo design certamente lembra o iPhone X. Permanece, porém, a dúvida sobre o real relação entre custo e benefício, considerando-se que o Moto G6 sai mais barato, com direito a tela e câmera ligeiramente melhores.

Motorola’s first notched phone is a decent budget device and its first to use Android One. But the brand's latest experiment places taste over value and disappoints in the key battleground – the camera.

The Motorola One is a slightly confusing device, hovering around the same price as the firm's excellent Moto G6 Plus. What's on offer here is a display with a notch and Android One, but in the context of the competitive mid-range market, the Motorola One doesn't quite match up to rivals in various ways. It's good but not great.

A fine phone to use, but not the best value for money given the performance and camera versus the stiff competition out there right now.

A tasteful, likeable Android.

Is the Motorola One a major improvement on the Motorola Moto G6 Plus? No, not especially. I’m not a huge fan of the notched display, but it’s the non-HD resolution which irks me most. For a £269 smartphone, in 2018, it’s disappointing.

The Motorola Moto One Macro might seem like a strange addition to the line-up, focusing on macro photography, but it does have the advantage of offering something a little different - and not asking you to pay huge amounts on money to get there.Good,...

Hands on: The Motorola One is an attractive mid-range smartphone with a strong feature set that should help it stand out from the crowd.

Hands on: Then again, the Motorola One could prove to be another smash hit for Motorola in Europe, just like the Motorola Moto G6 was in 2018. It’s relatively cheap, it looks nice (if you don’t mind the notch), and it will definitely be able to handle some heavy multi-app use.

With all the rumours around the Moto One, there was a time when we thought it would be the stand-in new flagship for the brand. But that's not the case, instead think of this mid-ranger as a Moto G6 Plus with a notched screen and Android One...

Le Moto One profite de tous les biens faits d'Android One. Malgré une bonne prise en main, il n'a ni l'élégance ni les performances de ses concurrents. Son appareil photo peine à convaincre également. Pour moins de 300 euros, vous pourriez vous tourner...
