Motorola took the wraps off the Motorola One Action on Friday. The device has as its mos spectacular feature which will also be its strongest selling point the Action Cam. The tech giant has released a slew of promotional videos flaunting the action camera and other features in real-life action.

The Motorola On Action utilises a 21:9 aspect ratio and has a rotating camera so the camera automatically shoots stills and videos in landscape even when held in portrait mode. The action camera equally features a 117° ultra-wide-angle lens.

Since it an action camera that will be used even while on the move, the phone was expected to have Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) but that is missing. Instead, Motorola added digital stabilization on the camera. One of the promo videos shows how effective that is.

The company also hypes the low-light performance of the One Action’s Action Camera in one of the promo videos. As a reminder, the Action Cam is a 16MP sensor, which uses 4-in-1 pixel binning to improve low-light performance (this gives it effectively 2.0µm pixels).

Here’s a video demonstrating how the camera still shoots in 21:9 aspect ratio even when held in portrait mode. It doesn’t give that immersive fullscreen view while shooting its all good in the end.

Other features of the One Action which Motorola is promoting is the timelapse and cinemagraph modes. heck them out from below.

Sony Xperia Ace vs Xiaomi Mi 9 SE vs Google Pixel 3a: Specs Comparison

In a world in which phablets are dominating the scene, it is becoming every day harder to find valid smartphones with compact dimensions. In 2019, mobile phones even passed the 7-inch display diagonal and, with foldable phones, they are becoming even bigger. But there are still a few compact phones out there and we decided to write a specs comparison between three of them. We are talking about the Sony Xperia Ace which is the successor of the XZ Compact line-up, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE that is an affordable variant of the Mi 9 and the Pixel 3a which is currently the most affordable Google phone. All of them are compact and lightweight, but which one is worth your money? Here you should find it out.

Design

When it comes to compact phones, dimensions are more important than design, especially in a comparison like this. Sony Xperia Ace is the most compact phone here and it measures only 140 x 67 mm. That is amazing if you want a phone that is easy to use with one hand or to keep in a pocket all the time. While the Xperia Ace is the most compact one, the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is definitely the most beautiful due to its suggestive glass back and the narrow bezels around its waterdrop display. Unlike its rivals, it has a real premium design just like flagship phones. But it is much bigger than Xperia Ace.

 

Display

The best display experience is provided by the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE as it is the only to be HDR-compliant, so it is able to reproduce colors better, especially in multimedia content. The Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is also the only to have a Super AMOLED panel by Samsung and an in-display fingerprint reader. At the second place, we got the Google Pixel 3a which still got an OLED display but no HDR technology. On the other hand, it has louder stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack which are not present on the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. Sony Xperia Ace has the smallest display with a diagonal of just 5 inches, but it is just an average IPS panel. Stereo speakers and 3.5 mm jack are present on the Xperia Ace as well.

 

Specs & Software

The hardware comparison leaves no doubts: Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is stronger thanks to its better Snapdragon 712 chipset. Further, unlike its two opponents, it features 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. Google Pixel 3a and Sony Xperia Ace are only available in the 4/64 GB configuration. On the other hand, the Google Pixel 3a comes with stock Android and, given that it is a Google phone, it is more secure and it will be updated faster and in a more constant way with the latest major Android versions and security patches. That is why Pixel 3a is the perfect phone for developers.

 

Camera

Google Pixel 3a borrows its rear camera sensor from the vanilla Pixel 3 and this means that it provides a flagship-class camera experience. Despite it has just a single camera on its rear side, it wins the camera comparison thanks to a higher-end sensor and a more advanced algorithm, as well as optical stabilization and astonishing performances in low-light conditions. Right after, we got the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE with its versatile triple camera including a 48 MP high-end sensor, a telephoto lens, and an ultrawide sensor.

 

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE is not so incredible when it comes to battery life, while Google Pixel 3a and Sony Xperia Ace are much better thanks to their better software optimization, with just marginal differences in most of the scenarios. Overall, Google Pixel 3a is the most convincing one and it also features a very fast charging technology.

 

Price

While Google Pixel 3a starts from €400/$443 and Sony Xperia Ace costs €396/$440, Xiaomi Mi 9 SE carries a starting price of just €280/$310. At the end of the day, I would personally go for the Google Pixel 3a because of its flagship-class camera, better Android experience, but Xiaomi Mi 9 SE has a higher value for money. You should choose the Sony Xperia Ace only if you want a real compact phone with a very small size, otherwise, its rivals are better devices in terms of specifications and potentialities.

Redmi M1908C3IC full TENAA specs: HD+ display and a massive 5000mAh battery

The Redmi-branded Xiaomi phone with the model number M1908C3IC was seen on TENAA yesterday but only the images were revealed. The full listing has now been published and it reveals it will be the Redmi phone with the biggest battery capacity ever.

Based on the TENAA listing, the Redmi M1908C3IC has a 6.2-inch screen. The centered-camera hints at the screen having a waterdrop notch. There is a 2.0GHz octa-core processor paired with 2GB, 3GB, or 4GB of RAM. The phone will also be available with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of storage depending on the RAM variant. Thanks to a MicroSD card slot, owners will be able to add up to 512GB of extra storage to the device.

Xiaomi M1908C3IC TENAA

The images show it has dual rear cameras. TENAA says the primary camera is a 12MP sensor but doesn’t mention the secondary sensor. There is an 8MP camera in front for selfies.

The Redmi M1908C3IC also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and runs Android 9 Pie. However, its main selling point is its massive battery capacity stated as 5000mAh by TENAA. This is the biggest battery capacity for a Redmi device. Though the Mi MAX 2 trumps it with its 5300mah battery.

TENAA says it supports fast charging even though the 3C certification only mentioned 5V/2A charging.

The Redmi M1908C3IC measures 156.3mm in length thanks to its reduced bezels. However, it is quite thick at 9.4mm while its width is 75.4mm. It also weighs 190 grams. TENAA says it will be available in Black, Red, Blue, Pink, White, Green, Purple, and Gray.

While we are still in the dark regarding its official name, we can’t help but think it will launch as the Redmi 8. The display size, camera configuration, and the fact that it has a 2GB RAM version are similar features of the Redmi 7. Only time will tell if we are correct.
