Qualcomm just recently announced its latest top-notch Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and several brands are now expected to launch new phones with this chip in the coming months. Lenovo’s General Manager of the mobile business arm has confirmed that the Moto X40 series will be powered by the same chip by sharing smartphone’s AnTuTu score.
The Moto X40 is said to arrive anytime this month. Motorola is yet to give any confirmation on this, but a lot has already been leaked about the upcoming Moto 5G phones. The brand will likely unveil it as Moto Edge 40 series in the global markets.
Motorola is expected to announce two phones in China this month – Moto X40 and Moto X40 Pro. Both of them will likely pack the same Snapdragon chipset and the difference will be in other departments. The Pro model is said to come with support for 125W fast wired charging tech and AMOLED display. It could have a curved screen with punch-hole design and a triple rear camera setup, as per the leaks.
The standard model, on the other hand, is said to come with an OLED panel, which will operate at 1080p resolution and refresh at 144Hz. It could pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 68W fast charging tech. The back camera setup might reportedly include two 50-megapixel main and ultra-wide-angle sensors, just like the Moto Edge Plus. The company could replace the 2-megapixel sensor with a 12-megapixel camera for better imaging results.
The Moto X40 is also said to launch with up to 18GB of RAM, which is pretty huge but might not be of use for many. The device could be made available with up to 512GB storage model. Both the models will likely be IP68-rated for protection against water and dust. The upcoming Motorola 5G phones are expected to run on the latest Android 13 OS out of the box.
