Introduction
The Motorola One Fusion + looks like a lovely phone with a rich feature set. One Fusion + is Moto's second phone with a flawless screen thanks to a pop-up selfie, and is trying to give a big bang for its € 299 price. Its HDR10 screen, uninterrupted at the time, is perfect for movies and games. Then there is the powerful Snapdragon 730 chip - one of the best options for the midrange category.
There is more. Fusion + packs a quad-standard camera on its back - standard, ultrawide, macro, and depth - but offers a variety of shooting options, including Night Vision.
Then there is the huge 5,000 mAh battery which should last at least two days by Moto rating. We'll see about this a little bit, you bet.
One Fusion + clean boots OS 10 clean, but not part of the Android One distribution. It's the purest version of Google with a host of unknown Moto add-ons here and there, including dedicated Mode and a standby screen.

Like many other Motorola budget phones, it also packs this waterproof nano-coating, which provides a basic ban on cheating between the phone's cast and its ports. This is far from water and is like peace of mind, but it can save your Moto once or twice in an accident. And we can all do it inevitably. And in case you were wondering about the typical One Fusion model - you probably never heard of it. The standard (and cheaper) version is limited to Latin America and the Middle East, and Motorola has not participated in any of the wide-release plans.
Design, Making, Operating
The Motorola One Fusion + is a well-designed phone with invisible paint and a screen with no holes. As it is a budget device a few cuts have to be made along the way, but it is all together in the end. The front is entirely Gorilla Glass, and the rear is a single plastic one. Of course, there is no standing frame, the back panel covers both sides of the fence and its back. We have the Twilight Blue version in that it has two different shades of dark blue mix, and an S-like surface texture below.
Unfortunately, while all these layers of paint and plastic look good, the back is a digital fingerprint, and everything will deteriorate very quickly. The combined case is helpful, even if it removes the cool look. It is a difficult decision. So, the star of the show is definitely a 6.5 ′ ′ screen, named after Total Vision. It is the second Moto image so far with a free design and the name really deserves it.
The selfie camera is housed in a pop-up module with engines on top of Fusion + so there was no need for a pixel pile.
The good news is that this is really the best way to get a more focused viewing experience. But if you’re expecting a screen below the bezel, you might be disappointed - One Fusion + has a noticeably large chin under the display. Low-density bezels are common in the midrange, especially when the panel is a single LCD as it can be as small as OLED and requires more space, while its driver is often hidden under a pointed chin.
However, for the € 299 phone, this is probably the most premium screen you can get with high resolution, HDR10 support, and cutting that, so we welcome that bezel. In fact, we think it would be better to have it when using the phone with one hand. The pop-up module is the same as all the other add-ons we have come across - with the engine and you can hear the underlying equipment as it goes up or down.
It has a 16MP Quad-Bayer selfie camera and nothing more. Module pops only when needed and installed fall detection and appears automatically if you get One Fusion + free-kick.
There is one very small earring at the top of the screen, which is almost invisible. Unfortunately, Motorola has chosen not to include the LED notification light in Fusion +. As we mentioned above, the phone has about 1cm sides, but the outer frame is part of the back panel - something we used to like to be empty in the past.
Good touch, even if done as part of a cost cut. On the sides of the panel, you will find all the buttons, a 3.5mm jack and a USB-C port, there is also a hybrid-SIM tray at the top, and a speaker at the bottom. Fusion + puts Google's Computer Assistant key over its volume and does just that - pleads Helper. We were unable to enable its operation. The plastic One of the Motorola One Fusion + is beautiful, there are no two ways to it. The two blue hues change gracefully, and the subtle texture made by S looks really nice nearby. If you want to keep this beauty, regular cleaning should be like a fingerprint of love and an overdose.
The quad-camera shows just a little bit and is made in the form of a 3 + 1. A single-LED flash is all around us, too. One Fusion + has its own back scanner and the Moto logo is painted all over. It is always of the same type and works seamlessly.
The Motorola One Fusion + measures 162.9 x 76.4 x 9.6 mm and weighs 210g. That’s not a sleek, or light 6.5-inches, but what we would expect from a phone with a large 5,000mAh battery. And when we used it we felt it was strong, but not shorter or softer than expected. The Motorola One Fusion + felt hand in hand, guilty or not, safe and strong, and we loved the time we spent with Motor. It is a highly constructed wire and its non-slip water retention adds an extra dimension to its shape. It’s a great call, and if you have a good heart with that, you’ll love it as easy as we did.
Layout
The Motorola One Fusion + packs an IPS LCD 6.5 ′ ′ screen in 1080p with 20: 9 features. The panel has no cutouts or anything, and is protected by a Gorilla Glass clip, an unspecified update. The Total Vision screen, as Motorola calls it, is 396ppi sharp. It supports HDR10 and thanks to Widevine L1 DRM, you will be able to enjoy high-quality HDR10 content from Netflix and popular. We measured maximum brightness when 454 nits in manual mode, and 562 nits in auto mode. That’s almost in the middle of the LCD, and we’ve seen the panels brighter. Still, we had no problems even on very light days.
The dark levels of the One Fusion + screen come out well, and, and generally, the panel offers an excellent measurement of about 1400: 1. The minimum light to the left of the bar is 6.2 nits - good. Colour reproduction is always good in One Fusion +. Saturday's default mode has a DeltaE rating of 4.3 compared to the DCI-P3 limits, and we naturally rated DeltaE 2.0 directly in terms of sRGB.
Battery Life and Charging
The Motorola One Fusion + puts a massive 5,000 mAh battery, which should last more than two days for normal use according to Motorola claims. The phone supports TurboPower fast charging and the 18W charger supplied also includes about 30% of lost battery in 30mins. Note that Motorola claims that the phone is charging at 15W, which means that the adapter you receive comes in excess to get the job done.
Unexpectedly, the One Fusion + turned out to be the best maker in our battery test with an endurance rating of 136 hours. It did a great job in all the tested situations - video, calls, web browsing and stand-alone functionality.
Speaker Test
The Motorola One Fusion + has a single speaker that shoots down the fence. Don't cry too much, and get 'Good' points from our test. One Fusion + also offers equal audio output with a good presentation of bass, mids, and highs.
Audio Output Quality
The Motorola One Fusion + has excellent audio quality.
Android 10 with my UX
Motorola has gained a lot from Android stocks on its smartphones, even those that are not part of the Android One app - like the One Fusion + here. However, there is a wide range of custom features that are well integrated into the Moto App. Car Actions is a smartphone communication system - including a karate chop for turning on or off, twisting to move the camera app, action of fingerprint sound, accelerometer silencing accelerometer.
The Moto Display has one-way single in One Fusion + - Peek Display - a non-existent display. It will display notifications and allow you to interact with them right there on the lock screen and will alert you when you select your phone. The directional display, a feature found on some Car phones, is not in Fusion + because the selfies camera is hidden and cannot track your face all the time.
There is a new custom feature that lets you customize the look and feel of your Moto. You can play the size and shape of the icons on the home screen, change the system font, and choose a colour to highlight quick toggles. Moto Game Time is a set of company mobile game development tools. Allows you to filter calls and notifications, block Fire Actions, performance section allows you to turn off active brightness. The floating game floating icon in Toolkit gives you instant toggles for calls and notifications, access to your choice of dual messaging apps and access to full game time settings.
The Motorola One Fusion + relies on touch detection with one long long button in the middle. Swipe upwards to take you to the home screen, the edge swipe pops up the latest apps menu, with a tablet swipe (left or right) to switch between last used apps. If you want Back, just swipe anywhere from the edge of the screen. If, on the other hand, you want to have three ancient button navigation, you switch to it from the settings. All this aside, the rest is as good as Android 10 as Google intended it to be. The Motorola One Fusion + also supports FM radio and there is a pre-installed app for that. You don’t see it every day, not least.
Performance and Benchmarks
The Motorola One Fusion + is powered by the Snapdragon 730 chip - one of the most popular midrange platforms from Qualcomm. The Indian version of Fusion + works on the Snapdragon 730G chip, which has a slightly different GPU clock but in a different way - similar to the 730.
Both 730 and 730G CPUs are the same - octa-core processors with two Kryo 470 Gold (Cortex-A76) processors built at 2.2 GHz, and six Kryo 470 silver (Cortex-A55), operating at 1.8 GHz. They are all built-in an 8nm LPP area and that is why the power works so well.
Both chips also have the same Adreno 618 GPU. But one in the 730G clock is 75 MHz higher and stays at 575 MHz. This is the only difference between the two groups.
One Fusion + is sold in only one setting with 6GB RAM and 128GB UFS2.1 storage. We had a few benches, and the CPU moulded it as a very good player. The Kirin 810 processor is more powerful, but it's only available on the smallest Google phone now. The Snapdragon 720G counts the higher part, but has a higher clock speed (2.2GHz vs 2.3GHz). The same thing applies with graphics - Huawei beats it all, but Google is stepping in. After that the Adreno 618 inside the Snapdragon 720G (Redmi Note 9 Pro) is a bit better than the Adreno 616 as part of the Moto's S730 chip.
However, GPU performance is sufficient in the classroom. Throwing all the ingredients together in Antutu, One Fusion + is in line for Realme 6 Pro and Redmi K30. Once again, Huawei's Kirin 810 proves to be superior, while the S720G-powered Redmi Note 9 Pro offers fire with fodder.
The Motorola One Fusion + offers many bangs for its attractive price and shows solid numbers every time it tests, no matter the functions. In the end, the sharpest challenge - to play - doesn't just happen in Fusion +, but it's a good thing.
Quad Camera with Macro and Deep Snappers
The Motorola One Fusion + has a quad-rear camera with three snappers and 2MP deep sensors. There is a 64MP main scanner, an 8MP ultrawide spray, and a 5MP macro image. One LED flash is nearby, if you need it. The main camera uses a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL Plus GW1 1 / 1.72 "sensor with 0.8µm pixels and f / 1.8. The autofocus detection section is supported.
The ultrawide camera uses an 8MP Samsung ISOCELL S5K4H4 1 / 4.0 "sensor with 1.12µm pixels behind the f / 2.2 lens. Focus is optimized. with 1.12µm pixels. Supports autofocus between 4cm and 10cm. This camera can capture 720p videos. The deep camera has a 2MP OmniVision OV2180 sensor. The pop-up selfie camera offers a 16MP OmniVision OV16A1Q 1 / 3.06 "sensor with 1.0µm pixels and a Quad-Bayer filter. Bayer module, selfie cam takes 4MP photos automatically, but this one can be set to 16MP shooting output if necessary.
Motorola has been installing its own custom Camera program on the best-selling Android software, and so has One Fusion + as well. It is straightforward and works with a swipe action switch between stills, video, and enhanced modes (tapping on thumbnails also works). A quick set of settings is available in HDR viewer (Auto / On / Off), Flash modes (Auto / Off), self-timer (Off / 3s / 10s) and active photos (Auto / On / Off). There is also a shortcut in the settings menu in the view. Night Vision Camera and Macro camera can be found within the Modes selection. Manual mode is accessible from other changes in the viewing screen - not additional modes. Allows you to drive on your ISO (100-3200), shutter speed (1 / 6000s-1 / 3s), or exposure compensation (2EV to + 2EV to 1 / 3EV and 0.5EV upside), and selecting a white balance with a light temperature (marking normal types of light), and you can manually change the direction - all is normal.
Image Quality
The main camera saves 16MP automatically and the one we took during the day went well, especially at this budget stage. The pictures have a very nice contrast and a strong range, and are true with the colours of life. No visible noise. Sharpening is one of the most aggressive choices we can make, but it does not harm the overall quality. We shot pictures with Auto HDR as intended by Motorola. And it causes all the time during the day. It tightens the strongest range, too - it also removes noise. There may be several loss of detail due to HDR, but it is not visible, and we suggest leaving the HDR setting to Auto. There is a high resolution of 64MP and it does a very good job. 64MP images look like a real auction with special details, great contrast and colours. They can’t be achieved with Auto HDR, so their range is huge not as great as the default images. Note that shooting at 64MP takes a few seconds and one image weighs about 30MB.
The Fusion + has an 8MP ultrawide camera and its images increase by 16MP when stored. And they are far from good - the details are very bad. The images fit perfectly inside because of the 13mm lens, their contrast and colours are very good, as there is a strong width, but these images will not go further.
The 5MP macro cam has a dedicated shooting mode, and is very focused on the themes. The photos don’t go over in detail or separately, but they’re great. We offer Motorola points to make macro mode easier by giving this camera autofocus capabilities - a few donors.
2MP depth sensor comes in handy when shooting graphics. 16MP graphics taken with a large camera go well - lots of detail, great contrast, and subject separation is enough for this class. Mental-blurring looks good, too. If Auto HDR decides not to rip, you will get images that are not very good. We recommend leaving Auto HDR on a regular basis - as intended by Motorola.
Night Vision is available on the One Fusion + main camera and does a great job of making the night image brighter, colourful and contrasting. It comes with a lot of detail in the most beautiful images and shadows, and makes for a picture of a blossoming night, with a twist of certain details and sharp. Ultrawide photography is no worse than any other similar night camera, but the up to 16MP makes them look bad. You can see what's in the pictures, either 16MP or 8MP. We doubt that anyone will be using this camera under extreme conditions.
Selfies
The Motorola One Fusion + selfie camera is in the pop-up module with the engine and pops up every time you switch to selfie mode. The snapper has a 16MP Quad-Bayer shooter behind the f / 2.2 lens centred lens. It saves 4MP photos automatically, as it should, but if you want - you can set it to save 16MP enhanced images instead. 4MP images display beautiful details, colours and contrast. Powerful distance is limited, but Auto HDR helps to extend that much. Photos are possible with a selfie camera and are not bad - subject separation is not perfect but mask algorithm is blurred and the results are acceptable. We've seen the best, but we've also seen the worst.
Video Recording
The Motorola One Fusion + records 4K @ 30fps videos and 1080p @ 30 / 60fps videos with its main camera, while the ultrawide and macro snappers are limited to 1080p @ 30fps clips. 4K exposure from the main camera has good resolution details, even if we were expecting more of the video embedded at 50Mbps video bitrate. The colours are well filled and the contrast is good. A strong distance can be they were high, but not bad either. 1080p clips shot at 30fps are great across the board - details, contrast, colours. They are not excessively sharp, while the dynamic range is limited.
After that Full HD videos at 60fps from the main camera are not very poor in detail and the processing tries to hide this with excessive pressure. You should stay away from this mode. The 1080p clips from the ultrawide camera are very soft, but otherwise very good. You can use electronic stabilization in any camera and in any mode, or it could only work in 1080p @ 30fps mode on the main camera. Maybe a software update will fix that.
Wind-up
The Motorola One Fusion + joins a wide range of attractive budget offerings. A mid-range phone, with some high-tier components, and yet - one is quite cheap. Really, it provides your big belt and you won’t be disappointed in the event you get it.
One Fusion + has a lot to offer - the HDR10 notch screen is still a plethora of visuals, and many will love it just because maybe not for romantic lovers, but still. Then there are its snappy hardware and a large battery that will allow for long playing sessions, or days of normal use.
The camera was amazingly beautiful, day and night, and it works in many ways enough to compel you to take creative photos. The ultrawide camera needs some upgrades and you definitely hope Motorola will get it out in the end.
Lastly, a clean and fast Android 10 with Moto enhancements will be a delight to use for Android cleaners. Renewals are often done on Moto phones, so that's another bonus. Of course, there are a lot of cool offers, so let’s take a look at a few.
Alternatives
The Motorola One Fusion + costs € 299 in Europe and comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Realme sells 8GB + 128GB Realme 6 for the same price and its exciting offers with a 90Hz screen, the same input power, and the same quad-camera. The Realme 6 beats the Moto with a larger upgrade rate, faster charging, and a better ultrawide camera, but the One Fusion + has a free HDR10 screen, better battery life, and a bigger speaker.
Then there is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro. Its 6GB + 128GB model is cheap at around € 40 per Moto, while compatible with Moto’s speed and camera capabilities, its screen has punch-holes and its MIUI is anti-vanilla Android. If you are OLEDs, then the Samsung Galaxy A51 is a good alternative. It has a 6.5 inches Super AMOLED with a small punch-hole, great playback capabilities and a uniform camera design. Its battery life is very low, but there is no water protection, and the screen does not support HDR10.
Finally, if you can travel without Google services, the Huawei P40 Lite would be a good choice. The Kirin 810 is a medium-sized and excellent gaming console, its quad-camera camera for the same setting is good in quality, and the battery life and charging speed are unique. The good news is that the P40 Lite is about € 100 cheaper than the moto. It remains to be seen if that is how important Google stuff is to you.
The Decision
The Motorola One Fusion + is among the best phones you can buy cheap. It has an excellent immersive screen, excellent game performance on the go, smart camera flexibility, and amazing battery autonomy. That’s why it’s really easy with One Fusion +. If your budget is around € 300, it should be at the top of your shortlist.

Using a selfie camera with its own questions - it is slow and there are concerns about trust over time but we think it should be good
