Gino76ph, 10 Sep 2019There is only 1 dedicated Samsung store in Central London. And I highly doubt the people there... moreI did some Google research to find out the truth about A50. Also my father has one which is few weeks old. It is good device at the price. Screen is good, color looks great, cameras are also good enough.
Anyway as for updates, Samsung gives very less frequent updates to the mid range devices compare to the S series. I agree with that.
I have noticed that you are very specific about the cameras. This Moto Action and Zoom has some unique camera set up and there is no doubt. So, if you care only about the cameras, then you can go for them. But the battery life is really short.
As for me I really want a secondary device now. Samsung will release some new models in next few days in India in budget segment. I am eagerly waiting for them.

And I highly doubt the people there are knowledgeable enough to know if an A-phone is IP-rated or not. They would still go to one corner or go to their computer and research it. Believe me I know.
But, may I ask whereabouts you found out if the A50 is water-resistant?
I have many reservations about the A-class of phones by Samsung. for one, updates maybe not as often as the S-line. The cameras are not as good as say a mid-range Nokia phone.

Even so some of the phones are either not fully charged, software is not updated or on demo/retail mode. So, its kind of a hair-ripping/teeth-grinding exercise hence you are "limited" to website like this or on Youtube.
I would like a phone that has:
1. Wide angle (wider field of view) in front & rear cameras
2. a selfie camera with 12MP & above with lower/wider aperture and bigger pixel + quick autofocus...than my Galaxy S9+.

But there is no confirmation about A70.
You should visit a Samsung Shop nearby to get more confirmation about these data. Only those guy can tell you the accurate information.

Gino76ph, 08 Sep 2019Having the S9+ I am underwhelmed by the rear camera seemingly not-so wide angle lens/less FOV.... moreI will advice you to visit a multi brand store and take demo of various devices. Now a days most mid level devices comes with triple camera set up, so you can have wide choice.
And in few days many new devices will come, so a little wait will be better.
As for me I will go for Samsung as usual. I will go for M20 or the upcoming M30s. For me the screen (must be HD), battery (should last one day at least) and build quality is important. I am not in much mobile photography.
Will buy separate digital.camers in few months to take some casual shots. My cousin brother has a Cannon DSLR and he is serious photography hobbyist, and I have seen the outputs of it.
Anyway this my thought. Hope it will help. Regards.

Tried this a bit on a local store, on price its almost same to vision, so ill pick the other one (looks and feels better). They are great on width but theyre a bit too tall for my taste. The hole is not that big like in video reviews, i liked the screen and the pie experience. Looks like a good mid range device competition.

First, they are very good. My father bought... moreHaving the S9+ I am underwhelmed by the rear camera seemingly not-so wide angle lens/less FOV. For example is when i am taking a photo of my wife standing beside a London phone box (as the foreground) and a musical theatre at the background the top portion of the theatre is cut from view. I hope that kinda makes sense.
Another dissapointment I want to share is the underwhelming front selfie camera of the S9+. Colours and sharpness are all washed-out and poor, unconvincing dynamic range and again wide angle it is not.
I understand the S9+ is still considered a "high end" phone but the fact is its now an old flagship phone and there are other great midrangers out there that I think can stand up to it.
All i am looking for are cameras that has wider field of view (i.e. wider angle lenses), a selfie camera above 8MP and a not too shabby dynamic range, decent/above average low light photos and decent EIS stabilization.

Gino76ph, 07 Sep 2019I am torn between 2 Motos: the One Action & the One Vision.
I'm downgrading my Galaxy S... moreHonestly you should go for Samsung A50 or A70.
First, they are very good. My father bought A50 and it looks so great. Even I am thinking to buy Either A30 or M30 from myself.
Second, Samsung mid range devices are not great for gaming or has great camera. But still they deliver successfully what we expected from them.
Third, I am also looking looking to replace my 3 year old broken On7 pro device. And my budget is 10k to 15k. I noticed many devices are there from Chinese brands, with more performance. But again I will not play any game, so those device es are not good for me.
Fourth, I have read the reviews if authentic buyers of Moto Action. I was always dreaming of having a Moto device since Moto G days, but always thier devices have disappointed me. So, when I saw the Moto Action with a Exynos SoC, I was very excited. But after reading the user reviews, I am done with these devices. Why?
1. Fast battery drainage. The battery of Moto One recharge very fast.
2. The weird display ratio of 21:9, which may be great for watching videos, but not for apps, many apps don't support this display. And if you can't run your apps on it, it is useless.
3. Some call and network issues. My device is for calling, if I can't make a call correctly, I will not buy a device.
Overall I have decided to stick to.Amasung again like last 5/6 years. I know my device will not be a powerhouse or have new innovative features..but I know it will not create any new stress for me.
In between I tried Lumia 540 and those Microsoft guys successfully screwed up my life for a year.
Regard and respect.

I am torn between 2 Motos: the One Action & the One Vision.
I'm downgrading my Galaxy S9+ to a more reasonable and modest phone.
I need to find a phone with a slightly wider angle front & rear cameras, something with decent/above average night photos (with somewhat less noise), a decent/above average 2-3x zoom (with somewhat less noise), natural-looking photos and not oversaturated, a "loud enough" stereo speakers (75dB & above), fast updates (similar to Android One) and a camera that has decent/above average dynamic range (less overblown highlights on the background like sunlight or artificial indoor lights).
Comments and advice please.

I was really excited to see this model from Motorola. I noticed the Samsung 79xx SoC which supports HDR and some reviews in YouTube also showing playing PUBG at HDR mode.
Then the screen supports 21:9 and full HD unlike Mi A3 which has disappointed.
Last but not least ten Cameras looks fantastic. I have checked and not seen any other device with 3 rear camera set up at this price.
So, I was searching for a secondary device to enjoy Amazon Prime, Hotstar and Netflix after the end of the working day to relax. And probably I will check my YouTube channel about travel in few weeks. Last but not least I am also a music fan and the Dolby Atmos

When it comes to front & rear cameras which one is better is strict terms of dynamic range, better low-lights (have built in night mode), true wide angle (to include more in the frame), better stabilization (OIS vs EIS or having both) and a clearer audio (192kbps or higher) when recording video for both cameras between the One Action and the One Vision)?

RAM might not be that sufficient when compared to features and OS.
Battery capacity is not good, 3500 mAH is nothing for this.

Ra, 24 Aug 2019R u mad moto company, mobile thiknees 9.2 mm and battery only 3500mah, waste of money......Really wished they bumped up the battery on this model, I am not sure who to blame the Exynos from Samsung or Google for the lousy software causing the battery drain...
