What the critics say (scores are out of 100)


100	T3 \| Josh Levenson The Motorola One Action is one of the best budget smartphones money can buy. Read full review
100	Expert Reviews \| Nathan Spendelow One Action is Motorola's most well-rounded phone yet, possessing all the credentials to go toe-to-toe with smartphones that cost much, much more. Read full review
91	TechAeris \| Alex Hernandez There are a lot of great choices out there and it is starting to become harder to recommend just one. But the motorola one action should at least be on your shortlist of phones to consider. Read full review
80	MobileTechTalk \| Craig Bradshaw For that cash, you're getting a good triple camera setup, but not top-tier. You're getting a 6.3-inch 21:9 display, but not AMOLED. You get a fingerprint scanner, Type-C USB, Android One, as well as the elusive 3.5mm audio jack. All of this adds up to a compelling package. Read full review
80	Android Authority \| Oliver Cragg Motorola's experimental budget phone doesn't entirely stick the landing, but if you want a cheap handset with smooth performance, clean software, and a quirky, GoPro-like video camera, the Motorola One Action is well worth a look. Read full review
80	The Indian Express \| Mohammad Faisal Motorola One Action has a tall build that can be used easily with one hand, a good screen, smooth performance, nice sound, and gameplay sessions are good as well. The added bonus of the Action cam is a welcome addition and the high level of stabilisation in video recording is really commendable. Read full review
80	India Today \| Amritanshu Mukherjee It's comfortable to use, looks handsome and offers a smooth Android experience. Not many phones at this price manage to do that. Read full review
80	Mashable \| Natasha Mathur Motorola One Action is a smartphone that offers a smart video camera packed with an equally smart software, at a very affordable price point. Although the phone doesn't do much to excite on the design front, its good enough performance and Android One makes it a great buy for anyone wanting a good, well-rounded smartphone experience.

80	Trusted Reviews \| Andrew Williams A solid affordable Android with an interesting, if not essential, GoPro-like action camera feature. Read full review
80	TechRadar \| Jon Mundy If you're looking for an affordable phone that excels at video, meanwhile, you can bump the One Action up to the top of the list. Read full review
80	Stuff \| Tom Morgan Camera gimmicks aside, the Moto One Action is a well-rounded phone for sensible money. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint \| Mike Lowe Ignore the seemingly gimmicky camera setup for one moment - which, it has to be said, captures steadied and smooth video - and the Moto One Action impresses for how well it performs overall at this price point. Read full review
78	phoneArena \| Preslav Kateliev Motorola One Action arguably delivers better stabilization and better sound recording than a budget GoPro. To top it off, it's an Android phone - you will be able to instantly sync, upload, or even remix your clips straight on the phone. Read full review
78	NotebookCheck \| Marcus Herbrich Even without the action camera, the Motorola One Action offers a good overall package. Read full review
70	Neowin \| Rich Woods ... it's a decent enough phone, even if it's not enough to get me excited. Frankly, I'd recommend holding off until Motorola announces the Moto G8 and see what that device has to offer. Read full review
70	91mobiles \| Nitansh Rastogi All in all, Motorola One Action is an interesting offering and worth considering if you're an Android purist or love shooting action videos. The fact that it's priced...lower than its sibling without involving too many compromises also makes it a compelling proposition. Read full review
70	Gadgets Now \| Shaurya Shubham The action-camera like video footage is just as it was described, which makes it a good smartphone for shooting stable videos in almost any situation. Read full review
70	OtherMobile News \| Paul Lipscombe If you want something with the latest Android OS and regular security updates then look no further than the Motorola One Action Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets \| Nadeem Sarwar This phone stands out because of its unique aesthetics and supports that with reliable performance, decent cameras, and clean software. Read full review
68	What Mobile \| Paul Lipscombe It has the look and feel of a high-end smartphone and comes with the latest Android OS, which will also give you a greater sense of security. Read full review
