I got 2 of these when they were 87 bucks a few weeks ago at walmart
I missed that deal. Was it is the Motorola One or the Motorola One Action?

One a side note, Motorola's phone naming schemes are terrible.

I am not that familiar with this phone but it seems pretty interesting from a specs perspective.

Pros:
4GB RAM
128GB storage
MicroSD up to 1TB
NFC
IPX2
3.5mm jack
Face unlock+fingerprint reader

Neutral:
21:9 aspect ratio
The "action" camera seems fairly unique
Performance numbers on the Samsung Exynos 9609 look reasonable for this price range

Cons:
Screen not scratch resistance
Single speaker
Reviews on the camera are less than positive(To be fair, it isn't common to get an exceptional camera in a $200 phone)

Seems to be the same price most places. Looks like the discount is coming from Motorola.

For me, personally, I struggle with a 21:9 aspect ratio. It generally makes text smaller and harder to read. On the other hand, someone with better eyesight than me might appreciate the extra pixel real-estate.

It has also been a long time since I had a phone that wasn't scratch resistant. I am not sure how I feel about that.

Anyone that's looking to get this phone at best buy can get another $100 off by taking advantage of this deal. Just bought this yesterday with no hassle whatsoever.

There's almost no reason to buy this phone anymore when the successors (Moto G Power and G Stylus) can be had for the same or less money.

You can get a Moto G Power for less, and it goes on sale pretty often. It's a better and cheaper phone than this.

Sold the one I got at Wally pretty quick due to the weak antenna but I gotta say that I really liked the 21:9 aspect ratio.

I have Moto One Action (while it's not top of the line, I'm plenty happy with it).

From what I was seeing in the differences below

Pros (Action): Action has NFC, neither Stylus nor Power have NFC ( I was looking for a mid-level phone w/ NFC)

Cons (Action): Action doesn't support as many bands like 71
Action has smaller battery
Action has slightly worse camera specs (but do'nt know impact in real life)
Action only support Cat 6 while Power supports LTE-A Cat 13/5.

Action: Exynos 9609
Stylus/Power: Qualcomm SDM665 Snapdragon 665

I bought this phone on release and it was a good phone but why the hell did it need 4 mediocre cameras. Recently dropped it to death. I would probably spend the 50 extra and get the focus with a nice camera

I scored the same deal at $87. It is the Moto One Action. Upgrading from Moto X4, it is very snappy. This sale price makes me even more thrilled I got it!

This can be combined with the $100 gift card Tracfone offer.
