UPDATE [23 August, 12:30 PM] –
Motorola is once again taking risks and baking new features into its budget phones. That too features like an action camera experience. The Motorola One Action derives its name from the action camera, a 16MP ultra-wide lens that can capture 117-degrees field of view, baked on the rear. The important thing to note here though is the alignment of the sensor. It’s mounted 90-degree off-axis.
Yeah, the action camera is mounted perpendicular to the smartphone as Motorola states that most people shoot video with their phone held upright. Hence, it rotated the camera sensor so you won’t have to rotate the One Action, which does sound a little weird to me. Motorola touts the video capabilities of its 16MP action camera, which comes with EIS on board. This sensor is paired with a primary 12MP (f/1.8) sensor and a 5MP depth camera for better portraits.
Motorola One Action has been priced at 259 euros (Rs 20,500) for the lone 4GB+128GB variant in European countries. It will be available in 2 color variants namely Blue Denim and White Polar. There is currently no word on an India launch just yet, but it should be following suit to the One Vision really soon. Stay tuned for more updates.
