Motorola One Power, the affordable smartphone by the Lenovo-owned company that was launched in India back in September with Android 8.1 Oreo, has now been spotted on Geekbench with Android 9.0 Pie. The latest development comes months after an Android Pie soak test programme was announced for the Motorola One Power. The smartphone maker also revealed that it would release Android Pie for the Motorola One Power sometime by the end of this year. The handset is notably a part of Google's Android One programme that is mainly aimed to offer timely software updates.

Ahead of any formal schedule, a Geekbench listing has surfaced showing a Motorola One Power with Android 9 Pie. This suggests that Motorola is presently testing an Android Pie update for its latest affordable smartphone. Importantly, Product Manager Abhishek Kumar at the sidelines of the Motorola One Power India launch revealed that Motorola would start taking registrations for the Android Pie soak test by mid-October. The update was expected to reach through a stable channel by the end of the year.

Apart from the Android 9 Pie, the Geekbench listing shows the Motorola One Power with a single-core score of 1,274 and multi-core score of 4,508. The benchmarks have been uploaded online on November 2. This means the smartphone could receive the latest Android version sometime in the coming days.

It is worth noting here that Motorola has a strong record of delivering major updates to its smartphones. The company recently started rolling out Android 8.1 Oreo for the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus in India. The company also brought Android Oreo to the Moto X4 and Moto Z2 Play earlier this month. However, it reportedly restricted the Moto G6 Series to only one major Android update and abandoned the Moto E5 lineup from receiving even the next big software version. The Geekbench listing was first spotted by MySmartPrice.

There is a dual rear camera setup that includes a 16-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor, with support for 4K video recording.
