Motorola has unveiled two new smartphones — namely, Motorola One and Motorola One Power. Both of these new phones are based Google’s Android One operating system.
Motorola One is powered by a 2.0 GHz Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor. It features a 5.9-inch HD screen along with a 13MP dual camera system at the back and an 8MP front camera.

Both models support TurboCharge which can provide up to 6 hours of battery life in 15 minutes (in One Power) or 20 minutes (in One). ‘One Power’ can provide up to two days of battery backup, according to Motorola, while ‘One’ can go on for a full day on a single charge.
Mototola One and One Power will be among the first smartphones to receive Android 9 Pie when it arrives next year. Both models will receive guaranteed security updates for three years.
