Our quick take
Moto One Macro - 3.5 / 5
Design: A more budget G8 Plus
- Dimensions: 157.6 x 75.41 x 8.99mm / Weight: 186g Rear-positioned fingerprint scanner Finish: Space Blue, Ultra Violet IPX2 water repellency 3.5mm jack
Display & Performance
- 6.2-inch display, 1520 x 720 pixel resolution (270ppi) 4000mAh battery, 10W charging via USB Type-C MediaTek Helio P70, 4GB RAM 64GB storage + microSD slot No NFC (so no contactless)
Let’s go macro! Or not
- Main camera: 13-megapixel, f/2.0 aperture, 1.12µm pixel size Depth sensor: 2MP, f/2.2, 1.75µm Macro: 2MP, f/2.2, 1.75µm Laser autofocus
To recap
The Macro should be seen for what it is: a budget handset with a big battery life and fuss-free software. Buy it for the cameras and you’ll be disappointed, though, which is somewhat a contradition to the name. Yes, it can do close-up shots, but we’d rather spend a little extra, shelve the macro stuff, and buy the better-specified Moto G8 Plus instead.
