Motorola Moto One Power running Android 9 Pie gets spotted on Geekbench
As far the Geekbench scores go, they are a bit lower than what we recorded while reviewing the phone.

Motorola launched the Moto One Power late in September and being a part of the Android One program, it ran Android Oreo 8.1 out of the box. Android Pie was promised before the end of the year and latest reports suggest that the wait shouldn't be too long.The Motorola One Power was recently spotted on a popular benchmarking app, Geekbench, running Android 9 Pie. Spotted first by Chinese publication IT Home, the phone was benchmarked on 2 November with the operating system being the only change.[caption id="attachment_5246521" align="alignnone" width="1024"]

The clock speed, however, is the same as other Snapdragon 636 powered smartphones benchmarked on the website.As far the single-core and multi-core scores are concerned, they are marginally lower than what we at Tech2 recorded while reviewing the phone. As per the scores, the One Power running on Android 9 Pie had a 1274 single core score and a 4508 multi-core score, while the unit running Android Oreo 8.1 scored 1343 in the single-core test and 4952 in the multi-core test.[caption id="attachment_5505471" align="alignnone" width="1280"]
