Motorola One Vision Review of Pros And Cons

Picture of the Motorola One Vision, by Motorola

- Analysis by KJ David


As you may have guessed from its moniker, the Motorola One Vision is an upscale large-screen smartphone whose defining pro is its 6.3-inch 2520 x 1080 FHD+ LTPS 21:9 display , which was one of the widest screen setups on the market as we were checking out its specs. Its expansive aspect ratio could translate to a better grip and viewing experience versus those of some competing smartphones that offer similar screen real estates, but have less-extensive solutions (usually only 16:9 or 18:9).

Regrettably, however, the One Vision is not as competitive when it comes to hardware, running on a middle-class 2.2GHz eight-core Exynos 9609 processor that fails to measure up to the engines powering the leading octa-core models listed here on Phonerated when it comes to raw clock rate. Its 4GB RAM count winds up as a con in our book as well, knowing that a few tantamount smartphones pack at least 6GB on that front.

Photography-wise, the One Vision lines itself up with some of the best imaging-driven smartphones of its era, boasting a 48- plus 5-megapixel dual camera . Its imaging pros and cons include Motorola's Quad Pixel technology , which combines four pixels into one large 1.6-micron pixel as a means of rendering crisp images, and a UHD (2160p) video-recording mode.

Its front-facing camera, which sits on a corner of the display (instead of on a distinct screen notch), sounds promising as well, coming in the form of a 25-megapixel selfie cam , with Cinemagraph leading its perks.

We also find it easy to appreciate this One model's 128GB memory expandable by up to 512GB , seeing that several tantamount large-screen models available at the time of this data-driven review settle for 256GB top-up storage ceilings only. Also, its array of pros and cons relies on a tolerable 3500mAh battery that's decked out with the brand's 15W TurboPower charging technology, promising to replenish up to 7 hours of usage time after a 15-minute charge.

With an IP52-rated water-repellent housing and a 3D Gorilla Glass backing topping it off, the Motorola One Vision makes for a solid choice for high-tier Android buyers who prefer wide displays and highly-competitive cameras.

On-paper Review rating:

Pros:

Rugged:

It is trumpeted as more resistant to water, dust and shocks.

Faster microprocessor:

The speed of its Exynos 9609 microprocessor (2.2GHz) with 8 cores is among the fastest in the current market.

It supports the wireless NFC protocol:

Use the Motorola One Vision to pay for goods (or other applications) at NFC-compatible stores

Huge screen:

We are talking about an above-average screen, making it a phablet: 6.3 inches and a resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels means about 14.36 square inches and an image sharpness of at least 432 dots per inch (DPI)!

Memory can be expanded up to 512GB:

The One Vision doesn't come with an included memory card but it supports up to 512GB in memory expansion, which is convenient to store pictures and video clips shot with the included 48-megapixel (combined with a 5-megapixel sub-cam) camera.

Much higher-resolution camera:

A 48-megapixel (combined with a 5-megapixel sub-cam) camera offers a lot more pixels than most other phones. It also sports the following options: 360-degree Panorama, Active Photos, Auto HDR, Auto smile capture, Best Shot, Burst, Cinemagraph, Cutout, Live filter, Manual, Portrait, Spot Color, Timer, Watermark Night Vision.

Interesting selfie cam:

The 25-megapixel selfie camera offers an interesting resolution.

Cons or Not-so-great Features:

Where is the HDMI port?:

The One Vision can record fancy (3840 x 2160 pixels) videos. Great! But we couldn't confirm whether it had an HDMI port or not. HDMI, which lets you connect to an HDTV, is not essential, but would be great on an HD phone.

Unknown weight:

It's disappointing that we were not able to find information about its weight.
