Summary
- The Motorola One Action features a larger 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy S7 has a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a higher resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels, resulting in a sharper pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the One Action is powered by the Exynos 9609 chipset, whereas the Galaxy S7 utilizes the more powerful Exynos 8890 Octa.
- Both phones have a 12 MP rear camera, but the S7 benefits from optical image stabilization (OIS) and superior low-light performance.
- The One Action has a 3500 mAh battery, slightly larger than the S7's 3000 mAh, but the S7 supports wireless charging and faster 15W charging.
- Build quality favors the S7 with its glass front and back, along with an aluminum frame, compared to the plastic back of the One Action.
- Lastly, the One Action runs on Android One for a cleaner software experience, while the S7 uses Samsung's TouchWiz UI, which may include additional features but can be less streamlined.
