This panel offers 270 pixels per inch which is not ideal. The company has used the octa-core MediaTek Helio P70 processor in Motorola One Macro.
For graphics, it has Mali-G72 GPU whose speed is 900mHz. Motorola One Macro has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, it is possible to expand the storage using the hybrid SIM slot.

The handset comes with dual 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.2 and 6 navigation system support. Talking about software, the smartphone runs on stock Android 9 Pie with September security patch.
Surprisingly, Motorola One Macro is not a part of the Android One program. Motorola has told Gadgets 360 that the device will get one major OS update, i.e. Android 10, and two years of security updates. Recall that Android One phones get software updates for two years and security updates for three years.
The UI is just like stock Android with custom icon packs. You get an app drawer on the handset and swiping right from the home screen opens Google Assistant. There are a few Google apps installed on the device along with Moto and Device Help apps.
Motorola has also changed the gesture navigation and you will get Android 10 style navigation. We did not face any problems while navigating and multitasking on the device. Android Pie’s Digital Wellbeing feature and parental controls are also built-in.
Performance and battery life of Motorola One Macro
we first Realme 3 ,review) MediaTek Helio P70 processor was tested during the testing. This device has 4 GB RAM so we did not feel that the phone slowed down at all. The phone manages easily while multitasking between multiple apps. Fingerprint sensor and face unlock feature unlocks the phone faster.
The viewing angle of Motorola One Macro is good. We tried playing PUBG Mobile on the Motorola One Macro, with the game set to the medium preset and graphics balanced and frame rate set to medium by default. We didn’t face any issues while gaming at these settings. After playing for 15 minutes, four percent battery was consumed and the phone got slightly warm.
The Motorola One Macro is also capable of running games at high frame rates but while doing so, we found the phone to be a bit warm on the back panel. To bring life to Motorola One Macro, a 4,000 mAh battery has been provided. In our HD video loop test, the smartphone lasted 17 hours and 30 minutes.
During usage with WhatsApp account active, using Google Maps for navigation and playing PUBG Mobile for more than an hour, the phone lasted a full day. The charger supplied with the handset charges the phone up to 28 percent in 30 minutes and up to 51 percent in an hour. It takes more than two hours for the device to be fully charged.
Motorola One Macro Camera
Motorola One Macro has a triple camera setup at the back. At the top is a 2 megapixel macro sensor which is the specialty of this phone, its aperture is F/2.2. The primary camera is 13 megapixels. Its aperture is F/2.0. It has a 2 megapixel depth sensor. It has a separate laser autofocus module for fast focusing.
Motorola One Macro has an 8-megapixel front camera with F/2.2 aperture. The camera app is well laid out. Swiping right from the viewfinder reveals all the other shooting modes. Apart from Portrait, Panorama, Slow Motion and Timelapse, there are also Cutout, Spot Color, Cinemagraph and Macro modes. We found these modes very interesting.
Photos taken with the Motorola One Macro were average and distant objects lacked detail when zoomed in on the larger screen. During the day, the phone focused quickly and HDR was automatically enabled and this helped in capturing bright scenes properly. The camera UI suggests that we should switch to the macro camera if we are very close to a subject.
The macro camera captures shots at only 2 megapixel resolution. The thing to note is that macro shots captured more detail as compared to shots taken from the primary camera sensor. The Motorola One Macro gives the option to set the level of blur before taking a shot in portrait mode. The details are acceptable considering the price.
Low-light camera performance was below average and the phone took a little longer to take each shot. Lack of sharpness and grain were also visible in landscape shots. Smartphones keep noise under control in most circumstances. Selfies taken with the handset were good, detail in selfies taken in low-light was average.
Once again we found that the camera performance of this phone was a bit weak compared to other handsets in this price segment. The primary and selfie camera is capable of recording video at 1080 resolution. The smartphone can also record videos using the macro camera.
our decision
Motorola has named this smartphone One Macro so that the macro camera in the handset can be highlighted, so let’s talk about this first. The macro camera gives good close-up shots. The smartphone comes with clean stock Android, powerful MediaTek Helio P70 processor, RAM and storage.
We would like to see One Macro also become a part of Google’s Android One program to ensure that the handset gets better software and security updates. The phone’s camera performance in low-light needs some improvement. Apart from this we do not have any complaints with the phone. The thing to note is that Realme 5 Is also a good option and this handset also comes with macro lens and wide-angle camera sensor. Also Xiaomi Redmi Note 7S ,review) is also an option, let us tell you that this handset of Xiaomi comes with full-HD + display.
