Back in October 2019, Lenovo-owned Motorola launched a budget smartphone called Motorola One Macro in India. This handset debuted with Android 9.0 Pie when Android 10 was already out. Now, more than a year later from its release, the phone is finally receiving the Android 10 update when other devices have started getting Android 11.

Motorola was once known for rolling out faster updates. At times, the company used to deliver monthly security patches even before Google. But with time, the firm’s update delivery degraded over the years. Sadly, OnePlus is also turning towards the same fate.

That said, the brand had been delaying the Android 10 update for the Motorola One Macro for a very long time. But now, finally, the update is live in India with build number QMD30.47-19.

It weighs around 1.46GB in size and is being seeded out in batches. As of now., it seems to be only available for users who were part of the beta program (soak testing). But the build should be available for other users in the coming days.

Anyway, if you own this handset, then head over to Settings to check whether your unit has received the Android 10 update.

The post Motorola One Macro with Helio P70 and macro lens launched in India for Rs. 9,999 (~$140) appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Motorola One Macro is an upcoming smartphone with quad rear cameras. Last week, we reported that the phone may launch this week in India but we didn’t have a specific date. While Motorola India is yet to confirm the launch date, leaked promo materials have revealed the device will indeed be unveiled this week on Wednesday, October 9.

The leaked promo materials which were posted on Twitter by Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) reveal that the Motorola One Macro will be unveiled on Wednesday, October 9.

The materials also mention features such as lag-free multitasking, rapid charging, a processor with power-efficient performance and of course, macro photography. No specific details about the phone’s specs were mentioned.

Seeing as there are only two days left to the launch, it is surprising that Motorola itself hasn’t announced the launch date. The last post on the official Motorola India Twitter account was on Friday, the 4th of October and it was a teaser for the upcoming phone. The official Instagram account is no different.

The Motorola One Macro utilises a gradient finish on the rear panel which appears to be made of glass. The panel houses a quad-camera setup arranged vertically at the top left corner. Three of the camera sensors and an LED flash are encased in a module while a fourth sensor, likely the macro lens, is located at a separate module at the top.

The power button and the volume rocker are on the right side of the device while the SIM tray is on the left side.

Last year, Motorola joined the Android One program with its Motorola One and Motorola One Power smartphones. It followed them up with the Motorola One Vision this year. There are reports there will be two new phones called the Motorola One Action and Motorola One Pro; renders of both phones have already leaked. But it seems Motorola has more phones planned. A new leak has revealed there will be another device which will launch as the Motorola One Macro.

The name of the device was revealed by Evan Blass (@evleaks) in the early hours of today. We have no reason to doubt the leak since he originally leaked the name of the other Motorola One Vision before it launched and that of the Motorola One Action and Motorola One Pro too.

There are no details regarding the specs of the phone or its design. We also can’t tell if it will launch this year or it is just a trademarked name. The Motorola One Action and Motorola One Pro are yet to launch, so the Macro might arrive much later.
