- Analysis by KJ David
The Motorola One Zoom is a semi-high-end smartphone that might have put too many of its eggs into the photography basket, leaving it with a middling 2GHz-only eight-core Snapdragon 675 processor 
and no more than 4GB of RAM to work with. In comparison, several of the fastest phones found here on Phonerated run on roughly 2.5GHz engines coupled with at least 6GB of RAM.
Adding to its cons on the hardware front is a 128GB internal memory , considering that a good number of other 2019 releases with closely-comparable specs offer twice as much native storage, at 256GB. Note, though, that it supports up to 1TB's worth of top-up memory 
. A tolerable 4000mAh battery is on board as well.
Its biggest pro comes in the for of a premium-class (as of this on-paper review) quad camera setup . It is composed of a whopping 48-megapixel primary lens infused with Motorola's Quad Pixel technology and optical image stabilization (OIS), a 16-megapixel ultra-wide lens for wide shots of up to 117 degrees, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens enabling up to 3x optical zooming (10x hybrid zoom), and a 5-megapixel depth-of-field lens tailored to portrait photography.
Also part of its imaging pros and cons is a 25-megapixel selfie cam accompanied by a screen flash function, Cinemagraph, and the same Quad Pixel technology powering its main camera.

Up front, this One model touts a wide 6.4-inch 19:9 FHD+ (1080p) OLED display furbished with a 2.5D Panda King Glass panel, while the rest of its body is made of a 6000-series aluminum frame and a 3D Gorilla Glass 3 backing. It also features Motorola's signature P2i splash-proof nano-coating.
With a coating of either Cosmic Purple, Brushed Bronze, and Electric Grey topping off its list of pros and cons, the One Zoom primarily calls out to tech-savvy mobile photographers who can live with less-than-premium hardware components.
On-paper Review rating: 
The One Zoom can record fancy (3840 x 2160 pixels) clips. 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.

We are talking about an above-average screen, making it a phablet: 6.4 inches and a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels means about 15.57 square inches and an image sharpness of at least 402.75 dots per inch (DPI)!
The Motorola One Zoom doesn't come with an included memory card but it has a slot for up to 1000GB of memory expansion, which will be convenient to save videos and pictures shot with the included 48-megapixel (combined with a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor) camera.
A 48-megapixel (combined with a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor) camera offers a surprisingly higher resolution than most other camera phones. It also includes the following options: Active Photos, Auto Smile Capture, Cinemagraph, Cutout, Live Filter, Night Vision, Panorama, Portrait, Portrait Lighting, Spot Color, 10x hybrid zooming.
The 25-megapixel selfie camera offers an interesting resolution.
