Motorola One Macro

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.

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.

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.

The Motorola One Macro convinces with its pure Android, the chic exterior and the long battery life. The camera is rather average

The macro lens is great, but most everything else is just average, and performance is su-par.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Motorola One Macro is a fast, clean and highly-usable phone with a nifty trademark feature and longer-than-average battery life.

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.

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.

The Motorola One Macro looks to be a very smart buy for people looking for a durable and trustworthy phone with good cameras...
