The Motorola One Power smartphone with Snapdragon 636 has been launched in the Indian market to take on the popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. To be manufactured in India, the new Motorola One Power is powered by a 5,000mAh battery, has a display notch, and is part of the Android One programme, meaning it will get timely Android updates. The company - which will turn 90 years old tomorrow - has developed the smartphone in partnership with Google, it says. It also said it will enter segments such as Internet of Things, cloud, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Taking a dig at Xiaomi's new Poco F1 - which does not support HD video streaming on platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video - Motorola said its new smartphone has the Widevine L1 licence to support HD video streaming.
