Design

The Motorola One Action bears similarilities in design with the previously released Motorola One Vision. However, unlike the latter, the former has a plastic back rather than a glass one. The device measures 160.1 x 71.2 x 9.2mm and weighs about a 181g. On the front, the device features minimal bezels which is in part due to its in display punch hole selfie camera. The build feels robust and the polycarbonate back rounds the corners as well.

Motorola One Action’s flanks house the volume rockers and power button on the right while the left is bare with just a SIM card slot. On the rear, the device has a triple camera module on the top left with an LED flash right below it. The signature batwing style “M” logo is found in the fingerprint scanner in the middle while the Android One branding can be seen at the bottom.

Display

Motorola One Action features a 6.3 inch LTPS IPS LCD Full HD+ display with a resolution of 2520 x 1080px. Notably, the device has an aspect ratio of 21:9 which is great for watching movies or videos that are also natively filmed at this ratio. Usually, black bars have to fill the top and bottom due to devices having an 18:9 display. The display, as mentioned above, has a punch hole selfie camera which also allows for an unintrusive viewing experience.

Under the hood, the Motorola One Action houses the Exynos 9609 SoC which is manufactured using a 10nm fabrication process. Interestingly, the chipset is also found in the Motorola One Vision as well.

On the front, the device houses a 12MP with f/2.0 aperture and 1.25um pixel size for selfies.
