Motorola has launched the world's first phone with an action camera.

Powered by a 3500mAh battery, the 6.3-inches device is part of Google's Android One programme.

Motorola, unlike other brands in the market, does not seem to believe in launching all-in-one phones. Instead, they latch on to one particular feature and create a device that does it best! After the success of Motorola One Vision, which was a photography maverick, the newest member -- the Motorola One Action -- caters to the millennials' video craze. Firstly, the device lets you shoot videos by holding the device vertically in landscape mode, and view it vertically in portrait mode. In other words, you don't change the way you normally use your phone to make calls, and still capture videos in a 21:9 ratio, which is standard for cinema broadcast. This is possible thanks to the Motorola One Action's triple camera setup with a 117 degrees 16MP ultra-wide action camera, a 12MP main camera and a 5MP depth camera, with shot optimizations and night-mode enhancements. To make sure that your videos are shake-free, the device comes with AI-driven features that allow you to move with a moving subject and still get crisp and sharp videos with advanced image stabilization.

Powered by a 3500mAh battery, the 6.3-inches device is part of Google's Android One programme, which means guaranteed updates and Google Assistant innovations. Powered by the Exynos 9609 chipset, the device weighs around 160 grams and comes in a 4GB + 128GB configuration at Rs 13,999, a good price for a device that takes your video needs seriously.
