One Action
GoPro-style landscape-only action cam phone.
The Motorola One Action is a mid-range Motorola smartphone released Aug 2019, with a launch price of $350. It pairs the Samsung Exynos 9609 with a 6.3" FHD+ 21:9 IPS display, a 12 MP + 5 MP depth + 16 MP action cam main camera and a 3500 mAh, 10W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 62/100 — Vertical-grip landscape video. Standout strengths: action cam shoots landscape held vertically — clever solution and android one + 21:9 display. Main trade-off: exynos 9609 modest.
