I think that GSMArena don't like Motorola phones. Well, Motorola One has score 3,6 and Motorola One Zoom has the same score, but is way better than Motorola One, which is shit phone in every aspect. Motorola One Zoom definitely deserves better score.

Got this phone and what can I say. I expected more. But then again this phone is enough for everyday tasks. Only the existance of xiaomi phones keeps this phone down. And though Xiaomi creates great phones, it feels like they release like 5 phones every week. The prices are way low for reasons I don't want to think of...
My 5 Cents:
- photos could be better, I hate the 3x zoom but like the regular lense (weird gsma does different)
- I like the overall smoothness of the device, be it the smooth vibration motor, the nice OLED screen or the lagfree, close to stock UI
- I hate the "pill" and rather have the gesture control of miui
- I wish it had 6Gigs of Ram, 4Gb is a fail
- the 675 is a great processor
- the back-design is outstanding besides all the same looking apples, samsungs (cept note), huaweis, oneplusses (i like the glowing batwing)
- it's bezels are pretty thick (coming from a mix3) and the rounded corners arent round -> that's ugly
- 128GB ROM is great, take that pixel 4
-> biggest failure of this phone: it needs to be 300$ not 450$!

I was looking forward to this phone since the in hands review stated that its build quality was flagship level. I agree with the review and the others saying, main problem this phone has is its price. if it was priced on the same tier as the Moto One Vision then it would be a good deal.

SigmaR, 24 Oct 2019No it's not. There are far better phones for that price.
O... morewhich exactly?
Mi 9(T) - no OIS, only 2x Zoom
OnePlus 7T Pro - double price
Realme, Oppo, whatever - lack US/EU LTE bands
sure, if one reduces a phone's specs to playing Fortnite at 60fps, there is enough competition.

Or much cheaper with same performance. So while not a bad phone overall, the quality/price ratio leaves to be desired

Please not the all caps just incase you have poor eye sight.
All being said, this is one of the better mid-ranger of 2019 so far.
ALL BEING SAID, THIS IS ONE OF THE (BETTER) MID-RANGERS OF 2019 SO FAR.
Have a wonderful day!

At £299, this handset is a winner.
At its current price, I agree with GSMA review conclusion.
Motorola have not helped themselves by quickly rushing out inferior handsets soon after the release of the Moto Zoom. I think they should have given this handset a full 6 weeks of focused promo so that it could gain some positive momentum from the industry.
All being said, this is one of the better mid-ranger of 2019 so far.

Panda King glass get scratched far too easy = wasted money! A simple tpu case, preventing shattering if dropped, combined with Gorilla glass 3 is a minimum requirement for me to spend any money on a new phone!

Impressive audio performance, but they left out the Dolby audio software. I am curious how do they compare to LG V series.

Whackcar, 22 Oct 2019"It's a bulky and heavy device" Edit your reviews for Pi... moreExactly! That's the reason I sent it back. That's the reason I'm not getting the Pixel 4 XL and going for the Pixel 4 only.

8MP Telephoto with OIS
In combination with 5MP depth sensor that's quite a thing.
Yet to see how it hooks up with other giants in the market.

[deleted post]In what world is a sd 675 worth 399 Euro when a sd 855+ device costs the same ?

I think the main sensor of your unit is somehow faulty. Because it's the same camera which is also used in Moto one vision. One vision takes perfect photo with this sensor which is much cheaper also.

This phone is proof of just how far ahead of the game on price-performance the likes of Realme are right now. If you don't trust those brands - and in the context of the Huawei ban and ongoing trade shenanigans it's understandable you wouldn't - this is a good solid phone, colliding head-on with the Galaxy A70 and its own teardrop-notch 1080p OLED/Snapdragon 675 combo.
But for the same money you can get an 855-powered device that doesn't get much else wrong either. And if you're scared off by Chinese brands, Motorola is owned by a Chinese firm too! So as far as I'm concerned it's basically a Galaxy A70 without the selling point that gives it any chance of justifying its premium over equivalent Realme and Redmi devices.
