The euphoria over Motorola's mega-success with Moto G in India was drowned soon after Xiaomi and Honor entered the market with compelling phones at surprising prices. The market has since been largely dominated by Xiaomi, with Honor, Oppo and Vivo also getting their fair share of the mid-range market. Motorola is trying to change that again with a new and aggressive vision and a promising device, the Motorola One Power, priced at Rs 15,999.

While the Motorola One Power is equipped with the essential features that make it a compelling mid-range device, its selling point is the mighty 5,000 mAh battery. Also, by boarding the Android One train, Motorola is racing to outdo companies like Nokia and Xiaomi who have also introduced powerful mid-rangers in the segment like the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Xiaomi Mi A2 respectively.

We were able to spend some time with the Motorola One Power and while our review is still a work in progress, the phone appears to be a promising and interesting proposition. This is what I have come to think of the smartphone after using it for a short time.

From the moment I picked up the Motorola One Power in my hands, I couldn't help but admire the simple yet seemingly durable build quality. But the robustness and the large battery result in a bloated look and heavy phone, which is much more than what we usually see.
