This year, a number of smartphone OEMs have jumped on to the Android One bandwagon and while Motorola isn’t new to it, it has launched two new devices with Google’s vanilla Android. Those are the Motorola One and Motorola One Power. These aren’t new devices if you’ve been following us since they’ve been on the rumour mill for a long long time.
Of the two, the Motorola One is the more modest in terms of specs and price while the One Power has beefy specs. Both devices vary all across the board. It costs €299 and will be available more widely across the globe in countries like Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific countries in the coming months. While the Motorola One Power will be available in India starting in October. It’s exact pricing is not yet known and both devices will get Android Pie later this year.

Yep, good ol’ moto. An sd625 for 300 euro in 2018. So that would make the one power sd636 500 euros? Gtfo!
The only interesting thing is 5000mAh battery but it is not enough to leave my Lenovo P2
Yet more low/mid range smartphones for an already congested market. Going to have to have something major to make them stand out from the competition.
