Priced at Rs 15,999, the Motorola One Power seems the company's new beginning in the right direction.
Business
Standard : Chinese smartphone manufacturer Motorola,
now owned by Lenovo, has for a while been trailing in the mobile
phone segment, thanks to its delayed software upgrades, pricey new
launches and irregular product refreshes. However, things look set to
change with the company’s new Motorola
One Power smartphone.
Unlike
any other Moto-branded smartphones, this one has a new design, modern
notch-based screen, a capable hardware and the Android One promise of
timely software and security upgrades. Interestingly, it is the 5,000
mAh battery that makes this phone an attractive bet in the mid-range
smartphone segment.
Design
and display
In
terms of outlook, the Motorola One Power looks nothing like any other
Moto-branded smartphones. It has a metallic body with plastic on top
and bottom, and antennas underneath. The phone has a tall stance due
to a mammoth 6.18-inch screen of the 19:9 aspect ratio on its front.
The screen has a notch on top to accommodate the front camera, soft
LED flash, earpiece and sensors. Compared with other smartphones in
the same segment with notch-based screens, the Motorola One Power’s
notch is neither too big nor too small in size. However, it would
appear to some that a smaller one would have been better.
Speaking
of the display output, the screen is vivid and has ample brightness
to stay legible in bright sunny outdoors. The colour rendition is
good and the overall pixel-per-inch (PPI) density is satisfactory,
thanks to a fullHD+ panel. However, due to its curved edges, the
on-screen content gets cropped and that is noticeable while watching
multimedia content like images and videos.
Coming
on to the back side of the device, there is a dual-camera module
placed vertically on the top-left corner. The camera module protrudes
from the chassis, making the phone uneven when kept on flat surfaces
like table. Thankfully, there is a metallic rim keeping the glass on
the camera module safe from scratches. The back is also home to a
circular fingerprint sensor with the Moto logo embossed on it. The
sensor’s placement is well within the reachable zone while you
access it with your index finger.
Overall,
the design of the Motorola One Power is nothing extraordinary, but it
looks refreshing when compared with other Moto devices. But if you
compare it other companies’ offerings, the new design is neither
interesting nor exceptionally innovative; it resembles the likes of
the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.... Read
