Summary
- The Motorola One Action features a larger 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2520 pixels, compared to the 5.2-inch display of the Sony Xperia XA2, which has a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the One Action is powered by the Exynos 9609 chipset with 4GB of RAM, while the XA2 uses the Snapdragon 630 with 3GB of RAM, giving the One Action an edge in multitasking.
- The camera setup on the One Action includes a 12 MP main sensor and a 16 MP ultrawide lens, whereas the XA2 has a single 23 MP rear camera, which may offer better detail but lacks versatility.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the One Action at 3500 mAh versus the XA2's 3300 mAh, though the XA2 supports faster charging at 18W.
- Build quality differs as well, with the One Action using a glass front and plastic back, while the XA2 has Gorilla Glass 4 and an aluminum frame.
- Finally, the One Action runs Android 9.0 (upgradable to Android 11) under the Android One program, while the XA2 launched with Android 8.0, which may impact the software experience over time.
