Motorola One Macro

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

80	What Mobile | Saf Malik Overall, the Macro One plus delivers what it sets out to do – deliver a budget phone that allows users to take great close-up photographs. Whilst it achieves its main aim, delivers a great battery life and just about delivers in terms of specs it also leaves much to be desired. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Sean Cameron The Moto One Macro has a great design, dependable battery, a good screen, nice software and a reasonable chipset. It is a very well thought-out device - but its main attraction, the macro camera, is a big let-down. Read full review
80	India Today | Amritanshu Mukherjee The One Macro is meant to offer good macro photography and it does that with flying colours. If you are a photography enthusiast interested in close-up photos, this is the phone you should choose. Read full review
77	NotebookCheck | Florian Schmitt The Motorola One Macro convinces with its pure Android, the chic exterior and the long battery life. The camera is rather average Read full review
76	Firstpost | Kshitij Pujari The macro lens is great, but most everything else is just average, and performance is su-par. Read full review
70	Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy Motorola's line of One phones offers clean design, elegant software, and competent performance across the board. The Motorola One Macro offers all of these things at the lowest price of them all. Read full review
70	The Indian Express | Shruti Dhapola If you want to buy a stock Android phone with the option for macro photos, then the Motorola One Macro is worth considering. But otherwise Realme 5 or the Redmi Note 7S offer better overall performance considering they are priced closely. Read full review
70	Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow In some areas, the Moto One Macro really shines, but with every single positive there's a negative. It feels cheap, the battery takes forever to charge, and the display suffers from wildly inaccurate colours. It's fun to shoot things up close, and it has a long-lasting battery, but that's about all there is to it. Read full review
70	Tech.co | Tom Fogden The One Macro isn't a bad phone. In fact, it performed reasonably well across the board in our testing. However, it didn't really blow us away. Sadly, the screen and processor speed left us feeling fairly underwhelmed. Read full review
70	Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe Really, the One Macro needs to be seen for what it is: a budget handset with a big battery life and fuss-free software. In those regards it performs well, for a long time, and it won't break the bank to get you there. But its presence feels like a bit of a gap-filler. Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets | Aditya Shenoy We would have liked the One Macro to have been a part of Google's Android One programme since it guarantees better software and security updates. Camera performance in low light could do with some improvement too. Other than that, the Motorola One Macro did not give us much to complain about. Read full review
70	Australian PC World | Fergus Halliday The Motorola One Macro is a fast, clean and highly-usable phone with a nifty trademark feature and longer-than-average battery life. Read full review
67	Android Authority | Dhruv Bhutani The Motorola Moto One Macro delivers the goods if fast performance and a clean software build are all you crave. However, the quality of the materials and imaging performance just don't match the high-end experiences offered by competing devices. Read full review
60	MobileTechTalk | Siddu Munjal Motorola has pleasantly surprised me with what they have been able to do with a phone for such good value. Whilst it is by no means perfect, I would say this is probably the perfect first smartphone for a child or somebody slightly older as this would introduce them to the world of Android.

60	Gadgets Now | Utkarsh Saurbh The Motorola One Macro looks to be a very smart buy for people looking for a durable and trustworthy phone with good cameras... Read full review
