Motorola One 5G Ace - Pros and Cons! By Kevin Breeze

What's going on everyone, this is Kevin here coming at you with Motorola 1, 5g, ace, pros and cons. So let's get started now. First, I want to go over the top five pros, and then we'll go over the top five cons now keep in mind that the cons that I am going to be pointing out about this phone are just things that I want you to be well aware of prior to getting it they're, not necessarily things that are dealbreakers, but they are things that I think are a bit important and same goes for the pros, but let's first go over the pros and starting off with number one definitely has to be the cameras. Now, with this phone, we have four different cameras. We have the front facing camera, which is 16 megapixels. We have the main camera, which is 48 megapixels.

Furthermore, we have an 8, megapixel, ultra-wide angle, camera, and we have a 2 megapixel macro camera for close-up images. So with this device we do get a variety of different options when it comes to taking mobile photography. Now, as far as the front-facing camera goes, I'm a big fan of the design that we're getting here with having that hole punch for the camera, I think it gives it a spotless, look and doesn't make it very intrusive at all, and then I'm a big fan of the simplicity of the camera module on the back. Now, here's how things look in the camera app on the device. This, of course, is with the front-facing camera.

Now from here we do have the ability to switch over to portrait mode to get those nice blurred out backgrounds that I know that everybody's a big fan of we can also switch around to the rear camera to get blurred out backgrounds as well with portrait mode then from there we can also turn portrait mode off to take standard images. We can switch over to the macro camera to get nice close-up pictures and then, for a wider field of view, we can switch over to the ultra-wide angle camera. Now I feel like the ultra-wide angle. Camera especially comes in handy when taking photos outdoors, whether that's of a big building or of scenery, maybe you're on vacation, and you want to kind of switch up the way your photos look with some photos in more of the standard form factor, but then others in this ultra-wide view. That's really where having all these different cameras definitely comes in handy now.

As far as video recording goes, this phone supports 4k, video recording with the rear, camera and 1080p with the front now moving on into my second pro about this phone, and that is the storage so with the motor 1 5g ace, we're getting 128 gigabytes of internal storage, and we're also getting micro, SD card expansion. So I definitely think that's a very generous amount of internal storage. Definitely a big fan of getting 128, gigs and what's funny about that, is that the iPhone 12 base model has less storage than this phone, so that device comes with 64 gigabytes of internal storage despite being significantly more expensive than this phone. So Motorola really is giving us a lot of value here, giving us 128 gigabytes of internal storage with the phone now since setting up this phone and also installing some different apps, I still have quite a bit of storage available. You can see I've only used up 19.42 gigabytes, and that also includes the system, software and also the other various pre-installed apps. So it's really awesome how much internal storage we are getting here with the phone now coming in at my third favorite thing about this device, and that is the processor so, with this phone we're getting the Qualcomm snapdragon, 750 g 5g processor, now, obviously that supports 5g connectivity.

But in addition to that expect to get very good performance as well. Everything just runs super smooth. It's not going to be quite as fast as a flagship phone would be like the galaxy s21, for example, but for the majority of people out there, this phone will definitely get the job done for you and will run very smoothly and efficiently. Now I did run a geek bench 5 benchmark test with the phone you can see here. I got a single core score of 661 and a multi-core score of one 2010, so what I recommend doing is running this test on your current phone and then compare those scores to these scores.

To get a better idea of whether this phone is a performance upgrade for you, but most likely it will be now. My fourth favorite thing about this phone definitely has to be the battery capacity. So with this device we're getting a very massive 5 000 William hour internal battery and the phone does support 15 watt fast charging. So there are multiple benefits to having a battery this big. Obviously the first benefit is that you're going to be getting phenomenal battery life with the phone, but the second benefit that I think is often overlooked is that battery degradation, which is something that inevitably happens to every phone, is not going to be nearly as obvious with this device, because considering that we're already getting incredible battery life from the get-go having the battery degrade and hold less of a charge as time goes on is going to be a lot less obvious compared to other phones.

That already give you a small battery from the beginning, so I'm definitely a big fan of the battery capacity that we're getting here with the motor, 1, 5g ace and then coming in at my fifth pro. Obviously there are many more, but these are my top five, but my fifth pro with this phone is that we are getting a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. Now it is kind of sad that this is something that stands out, but nowadays, it is getting harder and harder to find devices that do feature that headphone jack, especially when it comes to flagship phones and upper mid-range devices like this one. So I'm glad that we are getting it and there's certainly no downsides with having this 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, whether you use it on a constant basis or not, but let's now get into the top five cons about this phone with number one being the fingerprint sensor on the rear. Now, in general, I don't think this is a huge deal, because it is nice and easy to reach that fingerprint sensor.

But I am a bit disappointed because I'm a big fan of having fingerprint sensors on the power button, and we are getting that with other devices such as the recently launched Moto G stylus 2021. With this phone instead of having the fingerprint sensor on the back, it's on the power button and I feel like that's super convenient. It makes a ton of sense, considering that your finger typically is going to rest on the power button anyway, anytime that you do want to power on the phone, so it makes perfect sense to have that button. Also double as the fingerprint sensor. You can see it's nice and quick and responsive and works very easily and with the Motorola 1 5g ace, it seems like they could easily put the fingerprint sensor on the power button, and it would have made the phone look a bit more minimalistic but at the same time, be more intuitive and easier to use.

That being said, though, the fingerprint sensor that we are getting here does work very well. It is nice and quick and responsive. So in general it does get the job done, but it could be a little better by having it on the power button. Now. The second con with this phone is the materials.

Now in general, I don't think the materials are terrible, but if you are coming from a more premium device, maybe an older flagship for example, then you might notice the downgraded materials. Now I do like the appearance of this phone. I like this finish on the back, but it is made out of plastic, so it's plastic on the sides and plastic on the back, and if you are used to a phone that does have more premium build materials such as a metal frame. It may be glass in the back instead, then technically. In that regard, this phone would be a downgrade, but thankfully the phone does feel nice and solid and in general I think the back panel looks especially nice here with this frosted silver tone.

If this was glass and if this was metal on the sides, then I think it would make it even more premium than it already is. My third con with this device definitely has to be the display. Now I don't think this is a bad display, but I think Motorola did miss out on really taking things to the next level. Other competitors, such as Samsung, have given many of their mid-range devices. Super AMOLED displays, whereas with this phone we're getting an IPS lcd so again in general, colors are nice.

It is 1080p which I do appreciate. That's definitely a good thing to get, but again if they had given this phone a super AMOLED or an OLED display that really would have taken things to the next level. So it is a bit disappointing that we didn't get that here next. I do want to point out that with this phone there is no water or dust resistance. So if you do have an older flagship phone like a Galaxy S9 or even a Galaxy S8- and maybe you want to move over to this phone- keep in mind that you are losing out on water and dust resistance.

So I'm not sure if that's important to you or not, but all I've got to say, is, do not take this phone into the swimming pool and then finally coming in at the last con for this phone, and that is that we're not getting any wireless charging now. I know that wireless charging is something that you typically only find with flagship phones, but implementing it into different devices really doesn't cost too much, and I do think it is a very nice feature to have, especially nowadays as more and more cars have built-in wireless charging pads and in general, wireless charging gets more and more popular. It seems like a bit of a step back to get a new device in 2021 that doesn't feature wireless charging. Another thing I like about wireless charging as well is that if, for some reason something happened to your charging port- and maybe it stopped working, then at least with wireless charging- you'd have another method to charge up the phone, whereas in this situation you don't, but I hope you've enjoyed this video about these various pros and cons and best and worst things about the Motorola one 5g ace. If you are interested in learning more about this phone and checking in on current prices and availability, definitely take a look at the links in the video description, but I'm definitely curious to know what you think about these various pros and cons.

Do you agree? Do you disagree and are there things that I might have missed out on in this video? Definitely let me know in the comment section below, but this is Kevin here. This is the Motorola one.5G ace, and I'll see you in the next one.
