I've been using Motorola One Action which I bought in late 2019. It's about to be five years since I bought the phone. The OS gets software update for the next two years from release date, so it will stay up with the time till then.

After that, I recommend people to not play high end games on mid range phones as they won't be able to keep up with the times and the battery will go bad.

Mid range phones can last longer with only social media apps, emails, YouTube, web surfing, etc.

Also, keep in mind to keep the battery between 20% to 80%. Otherwise, the phone will overcharge and the battery life will gradually decrease.

Overall, this is the most durable phone I've ever had. But now since it's very outdated, I might purchase a new Motorola phone by the end of this year... or still keep this one. Who knows?

    bork, 08 Feb 2024I bought this phone in 2020 and it got stolen from me in 20... moreLies, black isn't greyish. Color accuracy is great too. Bought it in 2019 and it's still going strong in 2024.

    The only thing true in your review is that there's light leakage on the screen which are minimal and not noticeable.

        I bought this phone in 2020 and it got stolen from me in 2021. Probably one of the worst screens I have ever seen. Black is greyish, color accuracy is awful, serious backlight leakage, these were just some of the most obvious issues. To be honest, I think that phone was below average even in 2019.

          It is the beginning of 2024, now I want to replace the One action.

          it was a good phone, narrow and very comfortable. unfortunately, new phones are not like that.
          i never got the android 11 update. Thx Motorola.

            Upgrade to LINEAGE OS and you will have a brand new phone, also add Google apps, Motorola junk company, last update was in 2022 for this phone, they support E-WASTE. Should be fined 1 billon dollars. Also you need someone specialized to make the upgrade to Lineage OS 20 (21..etc) if you don't have any tech knowledge.

                arnaudbouvy, 03 Jul 2023Has anyone tested with Lineage or /e/?Yes I'm running Moto One Action In Lineage Os 20. It is so smooth nad fast now than earlier. Battery Backup is quite good and performance is superb,but one issue is airplane mode, it is better to restart the phone than to put it in airplane mode or u have to try again n again airplane mode yo get network back.

                    magnaroader, 22 Mar 2023You all know you can just slap Lineage OS on this phone and... morenot really, because one action already was true google os, with lineage you remove the google services

                      Bought 2 of these phones. First the front glass shattered within 3 days. The second, battery will not charge after drop (with case on phone). Battery life is pretty short. Camera isn't the best and is laggy. The audio was great! *LOVED* the separate fingerprint sensor on back- was placed exactly where my finger would go (no hassle to rearrange how you're holding it in order to login). Phone security was great with multiple options (face/fingerprint/psw). Multiple user profiles. My second phone broke in June 2023 and I never did get the upgrade to Android 11. In fact, my security updates stopped on that phone in Nov 2021. Given the price of the phone, I would have expected... more (better camera, better battery, and especially 3 years of support at a minumum which I did not receive).

                        You all know you can just slap Lineage OS on this phone and the phone performance will be much better, right?

                          this might be the earliest punch hole display phone by motorola. but that cutout size is beyond me, they pretty much improved now. earliest punch hole display phones are galaxy a8s, huawei nova 4 and honor view 20.

                            I had that phone at 2019 and it was a big discovery for me after using nokia3.1.lucky i broke glass on it and got this moto on some super discount.was super fluid and still works with zero problems,just no more updates..Action cam is unique. after i got one fusion plus,loved it because of motorised front cam. but i broke glass again and took g60 with its 6000mah battery. phone runs perfect with its 108mp cam.but honest one fusion plus had longer last battery no matter it is 5000mah. My mom got that phone because of large 6,8 inches display perfect for her age and eyesight and i took beautifull edge 30neo black onyx and totaly fall in love with motorola.After month i took edge 30 fusion also. phone is a killer . now i use edge 30 neo and edge 30 fusion and satisfied more than ever with phones i got. So..Hello Moto :)

                                      Got it since april 7th 2019, and I just broke the front glass 1 month ago, but still works.
                                      Best phone for me . No need for last versions, because after last few updates my battery goes from 2 days to almost 1 day. (talking around ~5h/day, email-half a day, social max 45 min / day., wapp-not a touch fan, so ~1 h /day, gps- waze/maps/other ~1h/day)
                                      No games, just basic office and networking apps.
                                      I'm worried what will I do if it breaks? Thinking to buy another just for backup.

                                        (Rating 2/5)
                                        I just bought this phone in Late 2021. The Motorola One Action is quite a good very low price phone for daily use in 2021, but the more time this phone took the more problems will come along. First I will talk about short the phone's specifications.

                                        Motorola One Action
                                        Screen: IPS LCD 6.3" Display 1080p FHD+
                                        Chipset: Exynos 9609
                                        Platform: Android One - Android 9 (Up to Android 11)
                                        Camera: Tripple Camera
                                        Wide, Telescope, and Ultra Wide (For Action Camera only)
                                        Comms: WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, USB-C 2.0, and Radio
                                        Features: Rear-mounted fingerprint
                                        Battery: 3500 mAh (10W Maximum Charge)
                                        Colour: Pearl White
                                        Price in Thailand: 4500 Baht

                                        Pros:
                                        Having One of the best ROM I've ever used that is pure andriod. One of the best budget action cameras that you can get.

                                        Cons:
                                        Having an IPS LCD screen is lacks color rate if it has an OLED screen it would be better. Using this phone in 2022 is very bad because having an old mid-range chipset is so slow and very lag. Sometimes I met the worst problem with this phone that is it restart itself several times a day. This year 2021 is the last year of this phone getting an Android update that is Android 11. Having very low battery capacity is rough using this phone and ran out of battery at the half of the day.

                                        Conclusion
                                        If you have any other choice in this 5000 baht, I suggest you buy other phones instead. And with longer using this phone you will meet more problems in the future.
