Motorola One Hyper has finally been launched after a flurry of last-minute leaks. It is the first Motorola-branded Android phone to come equipped with a pop-up selfie camera module that houses a 32MP sensor at $399.99.
The phone is already up for grabs in the US, Latin America and some European markets in Deep Sea Blue, Dark Amber, and Fresh Orchid colour options.
Motorola One Hyper is also the first phone from the company to pack a 64MP main camera and a full-screen display devoid of a notch or hole-punch. It is powered by the ageing octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SOC and is protected by a layer of p2i nano-coating.
The dual-sim (Nano) Motorola One Hyper runs vanilla Android 10 with a few in-houses features such as Moto Actions and Moto Display thrown into the mix. It features a 6.5-inch full-hd+ LCD display with 19:9 aspect ratio and a pixel density of 395ppi.
Motorola One Hyper offers 128GB of inbuilt storage that can further be expanded via a microsd card (up to 1TB). Connectivity options on the phone include 4G LTE, Wi-fi 802.11/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, A-GPS, LTEPP, SUPL, GLONASS, and Galileo.
The phone packs a 4,000mah battery that supports 45W Hyper Charge technology. However, the retail package will come equipped with a 15W Turbopower charger, while the 45W charger will be sold separately in some regions.
Sensors onboard the Motorola One Hyper include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, compass, fingerprint sensor, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and a SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) sensor. Dimensions of the phone are 161.8 x 76.6 x 8.9mm and it tips the scales at around 200 grams.
The phone has a plastic build with a water repellent design, and has a USB Type-c port and 3.5mm headphone jack.
