June 15, 2025
A few months afterMotorolalaunched theMotorola Onein several international markets, the company has announced it will bring its newAndroid Onesmartphone to the U.S.
Starting November 9, you can order the phone online through Best Buy for $399. You can wait another two days if you want to pick up the phone in-store, though the same $399 price applies.
Keep in mind that you can only get the Motorola One in black if you buy it online and in white if you buy it in-store. It is a GSM-only phone so, while it should work withT-MobileandAT&T, the Motorola One will not work withVerizonandSprint.

Finally, a Motorola representative toldEngadgetit had no plans to bring the Motorola One Power to the U.S. The Power model differs from the standard device by offering a bigger screen, larger battery (5,000mAh), and a faster chipset (Snapdragon 636).
Even when compared to its Power stablemate, the Motorola One brings plenty to the table. As a refresher, the phone features a 5.9-inch display with a 1,520 x 720 resolution, rear 13MP+2MP cameras, 8MP selfie camera, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and a 3,000mAh battery.
Most importantly, the device runs a clean version ofAndroid 8.1 Oreoand is part of Google’sAndroid Oneprogram. Not only does Android One mean security patches for three years, but major updates toAndroid 9 PieandAndroid Q.
The good news is that there aren’t that many Android One smartphones in the U.S. for the Motorola phone to compete against. The bad news is that the ones that are available are relatively more affordable. For example, theNokia 7.1costs $350 and features the more powerful Snapdragon 636 chipset. TheNokia 6.1is also an Android One smartphone, packs the Snapdragon 630, and costs $230.
With that said, the Motorola One serves as another option for those who want a cleanAndroidexperience and do not want to pay an arm and a leg for the privilege. Looking to buy the phone? You can pre-order it via the button below.
