Motorola One Action Has A GoPro-Like Camera Specifically For Active Users

In its latest mid-range smartphone, the One Action, Motorola wants to amaze consumers with its camera. Like the Galaxy Note 10 Samsung has recently announced as well as other phones this year, Motorola’s One Action features a triple-camera setup.

However, Motorola has taken a step up and offers users an important featured found in GoPro cameras. The feature in question is filming action shots, commonly used by back flippers, skydivers, or skateboarders. While the Motorola One Action isn’t the first to have a feature supporting active lifestyles, this phone’s camera relies on physical hardware instead of only software to upgrade its photography.

Featuring a primary 12MP lens along with a 5MP depth lens to generate better portraits, the smartphone also sports a 16MP camera in the middle with a 117-degree ultrawide view. In addition, the company has chosen a position for the lens so that it can still capture landscape videos in case of being held vertically.

Its goal is to give users a more natural, easier way to record wide-screen videos while they hold the phone during adventurous activities.

Notably, the action camera uses pixel binning, which combines multiple pixels to produce better low-light shots and video stabilization. Hence, it generates 4MP photos.

Besides cameras, Motorola One Action has an edge-to-edge full HD+ screen measuring 6.3 inches, featuring a cutout to house a 12MP front-facing lens located in the upper left corner.

It seems that this phone is far more premium compared with its Moto E6 thanks to the higher resolution screen and the glass back which make the One Action look nice. However, the cutout on the front is a little larger than those on the Galaxy S10 phones from Samsung.

Meanwhile, the action camera seems to do its job but it captures landscape videos while being held vertically and will record vertically if flipped horizontally.

The phone will come to Mexico, Brazil and many countries in Europe this Friday at a price of around Rs 20,781, with three color options: aqua teal, pearl white, and blue. It may later come to the US market in October, excluding the aqua teal variant and the price for US buyers remains unknown.
