I'm still using it 8hrs a day in 2024. Best sound ever heard for music. Richest tones, like in Dolby digital.
It keeps me 10-11 hrs on browsing.
Only disadvantage is the sound volume on recording video, which is lower than others.
Great phone in my opinion.

(Samsung 8K doesn't even reach a 200 bit rate, so the details on this 675 phone are still less compressed XD)

    And the Snap 680 even loses in both CPU and GPU part to the 675. It's just sad

    It's just sad.

This phone isn't lagged down by an annoying skin like samsung s series. It also already has the newest version of Android thanks largely to the limited altered UI. It makes it nearly as quick as a flagship and they added some great features. The twist to open camera and shake twice to turn on flashlight are great additions. If you want a different skin download a launcher and customize it to your heart's content. I always pick moto because of the near stock Android and great value. This is one of the best phones I've had in recent years and I got it for $450. Can't beat that!

        I virtually love everything about The Moto One Zoom BUT I'm not much fan of stock android @all. I was already planning of obtaining the phone but got discouraged when I found out about the stock android on it after watching the review. I wish Motorola had included their own customized UI skin on the device.

            Anyone knows where is location of NFC chip on Motorola One Zoom? NFC enabled in settings but can't connect with other devices...

                only the price is wrong. now you can find it at 269€ at Amazon Spain, and for me still makes perfect sense.

                Still a really good display, great camera with fine results, sold and great materials. Excellent battery life.

                    "For whatever reason, photos taken in this mode appear noticeably sharper than regular 12MP ones. The general softness is almost entirely gone. Granted, some of that could be due to the lower output resolution. However, even when pixel-peeping, results do look better."

                    How 'for whatever reason' that was possible? Oversampling.

                      With that SD675 chipset, the camera won't perform in the equal level as a flagship-tier smartphone. But the fact that you can have a 3x optical zoom on a midrange chipset is totally insane! More than that, you also have FM Radio receiver. I only see that on an LG or USA variant of Samsung flagship, but even that only offers 2x optical zoom.

                        I understand this review. I think the negatives are a bit exaggerated. The camera in my opinion is excellent for normal use.

                        In my opinion since Motorola has lowered the price to $349 it is a great value. The phones you compare are not readily available in the U.S. and have limited cellular band support and no warranty or after sales support. Xiaomi has incredible hardware but the lte bands are limited and the OS has ads built in.

                        The zoom does have a couple major issues in my opinion which are the lack of wifi calling support and lack of Android One adoption. They should have it in another series. Motorola one should be sononmous with Android One. Otherwise it would be pretty close to perfect for the cost.

                        There are advantages to the 675. It uses less power, has latest architecture and advanced features. Combined with the 4000 mAh battery the phone lasts a long time on a charge. Also as far as performance is concerned the 675 is fine for most people.

                              Provided that Motorola One Zoom and Huawei P30lite had the same price, which one would you choose? I don't play games, just regular everyday tasks - calls, social media, taking photos,... I had Huawei P8 lite and P10 lite and I was rather satisfied (except for the quality of pictures).

                                  Not sure if it is just my device but the display looks grainy when looking at a white screen. It seems as if the display glass is tainted.
