Motorola One Action debuts in India; price, specs

Lenovo-owned Motorola launched the new mobile One Action series in New Delhi on August 23.

The highlight of the Motorola One Action is its photography hardware. It houses feature-rich triple-camera module with an Action camera (no mention of MP count) with Quad Pixel technology, 2.0um pixel size, F2.2 aperture, and Ultra-wide FOV (Field-Of-View) 117-degree. It is backed by 12MP main camera with F1.8, 1.25um pixel size, PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) and a 5MP depth sensor.

On the front, it houses a 12MP with F2.0 aperture and 1.25um pixel size. It will also support face unlock security.

Also, One Action’s triple camera is touted to be the industry-first 117-degree ultra-wide action video camera, which allows users record videos holding the phone vertically and can fit four times more surrounding environment in the frame than any rival phone in the market.

"Through a unique combination of hardware and software innovation we’ve made it possible to finally film an amazing ultra-wide video while holding the phone more naturally in a vertical position. And when you play it back horizontally, you can relive all your action-packed memories in full screen. Enhanced Video Stabilization keeps things smooth, so shaky clips are now a thing of the past. Last but definitely not least, 2.0µm Quad Pixel technology delivers four times more light sensitivity for sharper, brighter videos in any situation," Motorola said.
