The new Motorola One Zoom is the best phone in
Moto’s current lineup. It has a 6.4” OLED display with 1080p+ resolution and
under display fingerprint and it is powered by a Snapdragon 675 chipset, just
like the Moto Z4. As you can tell from the name, however, the camera got an
upgrade – or three.
The main shooter is still based on a 48MP sensor (0.8µm)
with a bright f/1.7 lens and optical image stabilization (OIS). The selfie
camera is the same as well, a 25MP shooter with 0.9µm pixels. Both it and the
rear cam feature Quad Pixel technology for improved low-light performance.
But while the Z4 had just those two cameras, the
Zoom adds an 8MP telephoto cam with 3x optical zoom and OIS. There’s also a
16MP ultra wide-angle (117°) camera and a 5MP depth sensor. The chassis of the Motorola One
Zoom is built out of polished 6000-series aluminum. The OLED screen is
protected by 2.5D chemically-strengthened glass (Panda King), the back gets
Gorilla Glass 3.
Moto used P2i nano-coating to make the phone
splash-proof. It’s powered by a 4,000mAh battery, which supports 15W TurboPower
fast charging through the USB-C port. You’ll be glad to hear that there’s also
a 3.5mm headphone jack (there’s an FM radio receiver to boot).
The One Zoom comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB
storage. It’s a dual-SIM phone with a three-card slot – two SIMs and a microSD. It will be available starting
today at a price of € 400.
