Motorola One Power States Why Lenovo Should Stay Aggressive in India
Since the acquisition of Lenovo, Motorola has been a different company- it stopped rolling out software updates and behaved like a Tier-I brand relying completely on marketing. There isn't a single attractive launch of Motorola in India this year, but the Motorola One Power changed that. The One Power is a clear example of why Lenovo should stay aggressive in the Indian market.
Priced at Rs 15,999, the Motorola One Power is an Android One handset taking on the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and Nokia 6.1 Plus, not with the price, but with the hardware.
Motorola One Power: Specifications and Pricing
The Motorola One Power is the Lenovo-owned company's first Android One smartphone to launch in India. The phone packs a 6.2-inch Full HD+ display on the front, coupled with 18:9 aspect ratio and 2.5D curved glass. Internally, it's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, clubbed with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. A dedicated microSD card slot helps in expanding the storage.
The phone rocks dual rear cameras of 16MP+5MP, followed by a 12MP front-facing camera. The USP of the smartphone is the massive 5000mAh battery which refuses to die on a single charge. As we have pointed out in our full review, the One Power is the best battery smartphone out there right now. Being an Android One handset, it runs a stock version of Android 8.1 Oreo with little customisations.
The phone is priced aggressively at Rs 15,999, same as the Nokia 6.1 Plus which also offers the Snapdragon 636 chipset.
