SeekerMotorola One Macro
The Motorola One Macro has proved once again that you don’t need to spend hundreds of pounds to get a great smartphone. The display, battery life and speakers are all a pleasant surprise, while the undeniable shortcomings in some areas of the camera shouldn’t be a dealbreaker at this price point. Budget offerings from the likes of Xiaomi, Oppo and Honor might outdo it on the spec sheet, but if stock Android’s your thing this is hard to beat.

If you're looking for an affordable smartphone with plenty of power and a long battery life, you've got it. The camera isn't quite convincing.

It’s a solid phone at an appealing price, but unlike its siblings, with the Motorola One Macro you can really see where compromises have been made.

The Moto One Macro has a great design, dependable battery, a good screen, nice software and a reasonable chipset. It is a very well thought-out device - but its main attraction, the macro camera, is a big let-down.
