The market for smartphones with in-display cameras is about to get crowded. Samsung was the first company to launch the Galaxy A8s with this feature. Several other smartphones including the Honor V20 and Huawei Nova 4 also have this feature. The renders of the Moto P40 spotted online show that it will also have an in-display selfie camera. A post shared on Twitter leaks the specifications of the Moto P40.
The Moto P40 has an all-glass front and back build that looks very premium. The device sports a 6.2-inch HD+ display with a high screen-to-body ratio. The display of the smartphone has a small punch-hole which accommodated the selfie camera. The front 12 MP camera is equipped with an f/1.75 size aperture which also supports AI functionality.
The Moto P40 is kitted with the 675 SoC which consists of an Octa-Core CPU and Adreno 612 GPU. The Snapdragon 675 is a 64-bit chipset that is manufactured using 11 nm technology. The smartphone is powered by a 4,132 mAh battery which is likely to support fast charging.
The rear of the smartphone houses the fingerprint sensor, Dual camera setup, and the Android One branding. The Android One branding indicates that the device will get the latest software updates for at least two years. The dual rear camera setup consists of 48 MP + 5 MP sensors along with a Dual LED Flash.
The leak does not provide much information about connectivity options of the P40 but those can be retrieved from Qualcomm’s website. According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 675 SoC has 802.11 ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, 4G VoLTE support and NFC support. Thus all these options will be available on the P40.
The Moto P40 will be available in two RAM + ROM configurations which are as follows:
6 GB + 64 GB
6 GB + 128 GB
The launch date of the Moto P40 is currently unknown but the company might showcase the device at the upcoming MWC which is scheduled for 25-29 February 2019.
The Motorola One Power was launched with Android one and promised quick updates to next iterations of Android OS. The company has kept its initial promise of updating the phone to Android 9.0 Pie before the end of 2018. The update starts rolling out today and is a staggered release so all may not see it immediately.
Along with the new OS update, the Motorola One Power will also get a performance boost, and improvements to battery management according to Motorola. The One Power will also now support face unlock and swipe gestures, native to Android 9.0 Pie. Since the Motorola One Power is an Android One device, it is much easier for the brand to push out security patches and OS updates.
The Motorola One Power went on sale in October and is still available for a price of Rs. 15999. The One Power was Motorola’s response to the growing demand for an online only device. Because, Motorola is now operating in the offline market the prices for its devices have risen. The Motorola One Power was answer to the growing demand for a good all rounder device at the fifteen thousand price mark.
The One Power has a HD+ screen with an 19:9 aspect ratio along with a storage capacity of 64 GB expandable up to 256GB via a dedicated microsSD card slot. 4GB of RAM and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 Octa-core processor. The Motorola One Power has a 16 MP + 5 MP main camera setup with a 12 MP front camera.
With the launch of the Honor 8X, competition in the crowded mid-range segment has shot up. With smartphones such as the Realme 2 Pro and the Moto One Power present in the same price range, it can be confusing as to which of the three is better. We compare the features to help you decide what might be a better pick for you
Design & Build Quality
The Realme 2 Pro and the Honor 8X are the most stylish out of the lot, but the Moto One Power is appealing for those who are looking for a more subtle design. The Honor 8X is arguably the best looking device out of the three with a gradient finish. The Moto One Power does not have a glass back like the other two, but it sports a clean matte finish. The Moto One Power has a metal unibody design with a rigid frame. In our review we extensively tried to bend the phone but it survived.The Moto One Power is a tad bit heavier than the other two owing to its mammoth battery.
The three phones are similar in dimensions with subtle differences due to their build types. The Honor 8X has the biggest display out of the three with a 6.5 inch FHD screen. The Realme 2 Pro is the second biggest with a 6.3 inch display and the Moto One Power has a 6.2 inch display. While the Realme 2 Pro and the Honor 8X share the same 2340 x 1080 px display resolution, the Moto One Power lags behind with a 2246 x 1080 px resolution . The Realme 2 Pro has a waterdrop notch while the other two sport a bigger, conventional notch. The displays on all three devices have good viewing angles.
The Realme 2 Pro runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset which is better than the Moto One Power’s Snapdragon 636. While pitting it against the Honor 8X’s Kirin 710, it had lower scores on benchmark apps. We tested the benchmark scores of the on Antutu and had the devices plugged in to a charger while doing so. This was done because the Realme 2 Pro’s processor is clocked down by the company to optimise battery life. We tested the 4 GB RAM variants of the Moto One Power and the Honor 8X and the 8 GB RAM variant of the Realme 2 Pro. The Realme 2 Pro is also the only one out of the three devices to offer an 8 GB RAM variant.

The Honor 8X leads in terms of storage as the device has 64 GB and 128 GB variants, with a memory expandability of upto 400 GB. The Realme 2 Pro also has 64 GB and 128 GB variants but the Moto One Power only has a 64 GB variant.
Checking out what’s under the hood, the Moto One Power dwarfs the other two with its 5,000 mAh battery. The device also has fast charging support. With these two features, battery backup will never be an issue for Moto One Power users.
The Moto One Power has a 16 MP + 5 MP primary camera and can shoot 4K videos at 30 fps. The Realme 2 Pro has a 16 MP + 2 MP primary camera and the Honor 8X only shoots 1080p video. However, both the Realme 2 Pro and the Honor 8X have a 16 MP front-facing camera opposed to the 12 MP front-facing camera on the Moto One Power.

The other two devices have their custom UIs based on Android which are favoured by some users. The Realme 2 Pro and the Honor 8X also have a Face Unlock feature. All the three devices have a fingerprint reader for security.
The Motorola One Power made a mark for itself and is one of the better phones from Motorola we have seen in a while. Motorola also got the pricing right with the device, giving it a good response from fans. However, Realme launched the Realme 2 Pro with a bunch of features and the price has pitted the devices against each other. So, here we take a look at the Moto One Power and Realme 2 Pro, head to head.
Display:

With a resolution of 2340×1080 pixels and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, the Realme 2 Pro provides an immersive visual experience at 409 ppi. Not lagging behind, the Motorola One Power gives a similar performance with its 6.2-inch, Full HD display. At 2246 × 1080 pixels, it gives us a density of 402 ppi.
Both of the devices house the front camera in the notch. The Realme 2 Pro has a water drop style notch and the camera is placed along the middle of the top bezel which gives the device a really clean look. On the other hand Motorola One Power has a wide notch with the camera placed on the it’s right side.

The Motorola One Power is no slouch either. It is powered by the Snapdragon 636 with Adreno 509 GPU. The device mostly runs lag free during basic tasks and even while playing casual games.
Both the devices come with fingerprint scanners and are equally good in unlocking the device. Additionally, the Realme 2 Pro has a lightning fast face unlock.
RAM & Storage:
This the segment where the Realme 2 Pro really emerges on top. The Realme 2 Pro offers upto 8 GB of RAM compared to the Motorola One Power’s single 4 GB RAM variant. The higher RAM allows the Realme 2 Pro to run even excessively RAM hungry games smoothly.

This is the area where Motorola goes all guns blazing and leaves the Realme 2 Pro in dust. The Motorola One Power has a massive 5000 mAh battery compared to the Realme 2 Pro’s much smaller 3500 mAh battery.
Realme 2 Pro has a good battery life with everyday use. But, the Motorola One Power with its massive battery lasts even longer and outperforms the Realme 2 Pro in this department. Additionally the Moto One Power has fast charging capability and a fast charger included in the box. While the Realme 2 Pro also has fast charging capability, it is disappointing that the company hasn’t included a fast charger in the box.
Verdict:
There is no clear winner in this contest as both phones have their pros and cons. The Realme 2 Pro has water drop notch display, higher RAM, better camera and AI integration. But the Motorola One Power also stands out with its massive battery, solid build quality and the clean stock Android experience.

The Motorola One Power carries a new stylish design from Motorola. It breaks away from the conventional Moto design and has a notch and a vertical rear camera setup. The device has rounded edges and is well built. The device does not have a premium feel but is very sturdy to hold. The display is impressive and has surprisingly good viewing angles. The notch and thin bezels provide for a large screen and enhanced viewing experience. The Moto One Power has a very smooth interface as it is Motorola’s first device in India with Android One.
