Motorola One Vision: Unboxing And Hands On

In the month of May, Motorola launched the One Vision mid range smartphone in Brazil, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. The highlighting feature of the device is its display which has an unconventional aspect ratio of 21:9 and a punch hole selfie camera. A month after the debut, the device has made its way to India. In this article, we will unbox the brand new offering from Moto and discuss its features in depth. 

What’s In The Box:

• Moto One Vision
• Silicon Case
• SIM Pin
• Fast Charger
• USB A To USB C data cable
• User Manual
• Safety Information

Display And Design

The Motorola One Vision has a distinguished design accrediting to the tall 6.3 inch display with 21: 9 aspect ratio that sits on the front and a glass back. The display panel has a resolution of 2520 x 1080 px that translates into a pixel density of 432 ppi. As previously mentioned the Motorola One Vision has a punch hole in the display that houses the selfie camera.

Noteworthy, it is the first smartphone available in India that has a display with a 21:9 aspect ratio. The uncommon aspect ratio allows the device to play video content from streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime in its native format. Therefore, despite having a screen size of 6.3 inch, it feels like the video is being viewed on a much larger display. This is due to the fact that the empty space which is usually filled by black bars on both the top and bottom on devices with 18:9 display is absent on the Motorola One Vision.

Talking about the rear of the smartphone, it has a glass back that houses the fingerprint scanner that carries the company branding, vertically aligned dual camera setup and Android One logo. The Android One logo registers that the smartphone is assured to receive two major Android updates for 2 year and security patches for 3 years. 

Battery and Connectivity

The Motorola One Vision is powered by a 3,500 mAh battery which also support 15 W TurboPower charging with the charger provided in the box. Connectivity options on the smartphone include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, dual 4G VoLTE, GPS, NFC and bottom mounted 3.5 mm jack and USB Type C port which can be used for charging and data syncing. The Motorola One Vision also features a variety of sensors which include an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor and a compass.

Camera

The Motorola One Vision has an f/2.0 aperture equipped 25 MP selfie camera which is housed in the punch hole in the display. It also has a dual rear camera setup which consists of an f/1.7 aperture equipped 48 MP PDAF sensor and an f/2.2 aperture equipped 5 MP depth sensor. Notably, the 48 MP main rear camera is the Sony IMX586 sensor which is also present on flagship devices like the Asus ZenFone 6Z and Honor View 20. The smartphone is also capable of capturing 2160p videos @ 30fps while the video from the front camera is limited to 1080p @ 30fps. To produce pictures and videos with reduced blurring associated with motion, it supports OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) technology. 

Chipset, Storage and Other Features

Under the hood, the Motorola One Vision packs the Exynos 9609 SoC which is manufactured using 10 nm fabrication process. The chipset is manufactured by Samsung and the One Vision is the worlds first smartphone with a Samsung chipset except for the Korean companies own offerings. The SoC consists of an octa-core CPU which is clocked at 2.2 GHz and the Mali G72 MP3 GPU.

The Motorola One Vision has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM. Besides, it also supports memory expansion upto 512 GB via the shared SIM slot. Another worthwhile feature of the device is the single bottom firing loudspeaker which supports Dolby sound. The device is also IP52 rated which makes it dust and water resistant.
