Author’s Opinion
Motorola One is a mid-range budget smartphone. There was no need to launch this device as it is too overpriced. It conflicts with its own devices like Moto G7 Power and Motorola One Power which are available at the same price and with better specifications (better according to Motorola but in real life, they are worst according to us).
Talking about the competition in this price range of around 14K, the real competitors of this smartphone are Samsung Galaxy M20, Redmi Note 7 Pro, Galaxy M30 and Zenfone Max Pro M2. So, the competition in this price range is very high.
If compared with the competition, the smartphone stands nowhere close neither in terms of specification nor in any other aspects.
Overall, We don’t recommend Motorola One to buy in this price range. However, at the time of writing this article, our first recommendation will be Redmi Note 7 Pro (Flash Review).
Note: These are my initial impressions of the smartphone. For Full Flash Review, Stay tuned with our Instagram Page.
Motorola One is available for purchase at below-mentioned stores:
