On Wednesday 9th October, Motorola announced a more cost-effective intermediate smartphone with macro lens camera in the Indian market. The Motorola One Macro as the name implies alloes to take macro photos with above-average quality with the help of dedicated macro sensor.
Triple camera and special sensor for macro
The device has three rear sensors: the main has 13 MP, aperture f/2.0 and records videos in Full HD and 60 frames per second, or in slow motion with 120 frames per second. There is a 2 MP sensor that recognizes images in depth and makes photos with the blurry background of high quality.
The macro sensor, which gives the name to the smartphone, has 2 MP, aperture f/2.2 and pixels of 1.75 µm. It captures images at a minimum distance of 2 centimeters, allowing bokeh photos without the need for post-processing.
There is no dedicated telephoto sensor, but the device uses the information from the other three sensors to create photos in this style. The autofocus is improved from the built-in laser feature with set of cameras. The front camera has 8 MP and aperture F/2.0 for selfies.
Specifications
One Macro is a low-cost smartphone, but it has a good hardware configuration, with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The processor is the Helio P70 from Mediatek, and the graphic chip is Mali-G72.
