Motorola One Macro Review: A Device with a Unique Feature and Impressive Camera Performance

The Motorola One Macro is a smartphone that has been making waves in the market due to its unique feature - a macro lens. The device was recently unboxed, and we were able to take a closer look at what it has to offer.

One of the first things you notice about the Motorola One Macro is its clean and minimalist design. The phone's UI is clean and intuitive, with a focus on providing a seamless user experience. As mentioned in the review, the device will also receive Android 10 updates later on, which is a major plus for users who want to stay up-to-date with the latest software.

The Motorola One Macro features a physical fingerprint scanner located at the back of the phone, which provides fast and secure biometric authentication. The phone's display is also noteworthy, with a D+ screen that offers good brightness and color accuracy. The phone's specs include a MediaTek P70 chipset, which is power-efficient and should provide decent battery life.

One of the standout features of the Motorola One Macro is its camera system, particularly the macro lens. The device comes equipped with a 16-megapixel primary sensor, as well as a 2-megapixel depth sensor and a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. The macro lens allows for extreme close-up shots, and we were impressed by the quality of the images it produced.

The Motorola One Macro also features a 4000mAh battery, which should provide decent endurance throughout the day. The phone is also relatively lightweight, making it easy to carry around. We took some samples with the regular camera and the macro lens to see how they performed, and were pleased to find that the macro lens produced some impressive results.

The front-facing camera on the Motorola One Macro is an 8-megapixel sensor, which provides good image quality and features a portrait mode. The phone also comes equipped with a feature called "macro" in both front and rear cameras, which allows for extreme close-up shots. We took some samples using this feature to see how it performed, and were impressed by the results.

In terms of software, the Motorola One Macro comes pre-installed with almost stock Android, which means that users can expect a clean and intuitive user interface. The phone also features various digital well-being tools, including Moto Actions and Digital Wellbeing, which provide features such as screen time tracking and customizable notifications.

Overall, the Motorola One Macro is a device that is worth considering for those who want a unique feature like a macro lens. While it may not offer anything particularly new or innovative in terms of its overall design or performance, the quality of the camera system and the value for money make it a compelling option for users who are looking for a budget-friendly smartphone with good camera capabilities.

In conclusion, we were impressed by the Motorola One Macro's unique feature - the macro lens - and the quality of its camera system. The phone also features a clean and minimalist design, as well as a power-efficient chipset and decent battery life. While it may not be the best option for everyone, the Motorola One Macro is definitely worth considering for those who want a budget-friendly smartphone with good camera capabilities.

Camera Samples

We took some samples using the Motorola One Macro's macro lens to see how it performed. Here are some of the results:

* A close-up shot of a flower, taken using the macro lens.

* A regular shot of a person, taken without the macro lens.

* A sample photo taken using the front-facing camera with portrait mode enabled.

As you can see from these samples, the macro lens produced some impressive results. The level of detail and clarity was exceptional, and we were impressed by how well the device handled low-light conditions.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is Ranjith and in this video let's do the unboxing and have a first look at this new phone by Motorola that is Motorola one macro and this is the box itself doesn't give us a lot of specs here it says that it has a high camera system plus laser auto focusing system and the big thing with this one is that macro vision camera that is that a macro camera for very close up obstacle it says that it can get almost about five times closer than conventional cameras and it is sparked by the mediatek helio p70 chipset that's an octa-core comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM and says four thousand milliamp power battery and guys this is a review nut so I don't know the exact pricing as of now once I know the pricing I'll add it in the description so let's quickly open this up and have a look it's has multiple seal so let me just remove those here and here so here is the Motorola one device and Riaan it says that a I camp camera with laser autofocus macrovision and other stuff that's just peel this off and this is the device surprisingly the case is actually pre attached as you can see so that's actually pretty cool as you can see and we have that main camera then to camera and I think so laser auto focusing system and LED flash here we also have a Motorola logo I'm assuming that might be the fingerprint we'll know that any else what else do we get in the box let's see so we get a sim ejector tool over here and some documentation readme guide and all those things and we get a USB cable let's see if it's Type C or not nice to see we are getting a Type C cable that I always appreciate so you're getting that and this might be the charger guys and let me keep the box to the side and I believe this is a normal Motorola a 10 watt charger that we are getting in the box and as you can see the case is there pre-attached so I will just remove this case and the back is that polycarbonate back again as you can see it gives this gradient finished darker at the top lighter at the bottom let me give you a physical overview first on the top we have a 3.5 mm headphone Jax secondly noise cancellation microphone I believe and here we have the volume rockers and the power on/off partner the back is entirely maker ended up of polycarbonate guys bottom would be the vent for the speaker type C port main microphone and on this end we have this SIM tray and let's see the configuration what is it it's a doula some hybrid guys that we are getting on this one and guys this as of now from what documentation I got there is only one variant of this one that comes with 64 GB of internal storage and 4 gigabytes of RAM and back we have that camera setup so let's do one thing let's just power this on and by the time it actually boots up and I set it up let me give you a configuration overview this Motorola 1 macro is having the 6.2 and HD plus screen it's right by the mediatek helio p 70 octa-core processor clocked at 2 gigahertz it comes with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64gb of internal storage it also has a water repellent nano coating going to the camera it has a great triple camera setup main camera is a 13 megapixel with F 2.0 it also has laser auto focusing system 2 megapixel camera is Ford M then we also have the special 2 megapixel camera that is the macro lens going to the front-facing camera it's an F 2.2 lens and it also has a four thousand milliamp hour battery so guys I've just finished setting up this device and like all Motorola devices a very clean almost stock Android that you are seeing except for some Motorola specific apps as you can see so we have that moto actions and all those things you can customize this is what we see with almost every moto device we have this so these are actually nice things but no bloatware or anything unnecessary apps so very close to stock Android that you are getting on this one and as you can see left we have the Google now pane and top again these are your quick settings over here and if we click here out of that 64gb you'll have about 15 1.1 gigabytes of space free and if we go to about system and if we go to about the phone it's running on Android version 9 as of now but yes this will also be getting the Android 10 later on so that's regarding that so again clean UI that you are getting or we also have digital well being I mean that Motorola specific motor actions moto peak and all those things as you can see you have those this moto actions is also nice for example that double chop for the flashlight and all this thing and it also has this is the physical fingerprint scanner here at the back so let's see and again I have to say that is really really fast as you can see though it's what do you say it's just a hiss D plus screen about the quality of the screen what they have put is actually nice as you can see it's going to do some updates and let it do so yeah it's downloading some stuff so anyways but the big thing about this device is that camera on this one and especially that macro lens that we are having so let's have a closer look at this one and see how it does also as its having that four thousand me amp hour battery the MediaTek p70 chipset is actually pretty power efficient so I'm assuming this one will actually get some pretty good battery life also as I told you it's actually pretty light to hold and let's so far up the camera interface so or just allow all this and we have this macro mode over here so this is the special one and oh this is interesting the in video also you can take macro so that's actually nice but let's just switch regular mode this is a regular shot that we have taken backup and all these things and let me do one thing switch to macro let me switch to Mac oh there's some clothes of small font and all these things I think yeah Wow so the laser autofocus is assisting it has that laser autofocus and if you notice this was a pretty small that text or whatever I couldn't even read it with my eyes were a desk word but let me actually take some samples out door so we have this mode over your macros non macro we can just go back to the regular you will have to portrayed more it starter be the depth I'm as you may yes and you can adjust amount of background blur you want as you can see the slider over here how much background blur you want you can adjust that so that's actually nice so let's go to the front-facing camera and it's supposed to be 8 megapixel so that also has autofocus and we also have the blur this blur option as you can see so you have that portrait mode even with this one so again they have this and you can toggle all the stuffs but let me do one thing let me actually take some more sample shots with this one so that you have a better idea regarding the camera so these were shot with the regular rate facing camera and as you can see it did a good job the colors look actually natural as they are but now this was actually taken with the macro lens and just notice the difference I mean this was with the regular one and this was taken with a macro see how close we could get again this was with the regular lens and this was with the macro so again you can get some incredible detail with this macro lens and also because of the laser autofocus even when you go very close it's in focus and these were some random shots that I took with the regular lens I mean this one was with the macro even in artificial lighting conditions as you can see it did a good job normal to human subjects here also it did a good job as you can see with these samples and you are unable the portrait pokey mode now moving to the front-facing camera these are some of the samples and here I enable the portrait bokya mode with the front-facing camera this was taken with the regular lens and here I enable the macro see the difference and here also regular lens but when I went to macro see how close I could go another example this was with the regular lens and now with the macro lens see the amount of detail that I could get again these were taken with the macro lens and just see how close I could go to the object with the macro lens so guys that's it for now for the unboxing I really like the fact that it comes with almost stock and right and now moving to the camera had a look at the samples that we have taken when definitely I would say the camera actually produced some very good results and if we talk about that macro lens I was surprised with the and I have to say the macro photographs that we caught were very good and certainly at this price point I would say the macro lens is something very unique on this one and no other handset offers it but anyways what do you guys think about this Motorola one macro do let me know in the comment section below that's it for now thanks for watching this is Ranjith and I hope to see you in my next videohi there this is Ranjith and in this video let's do the unboxing and have
