Moto Edge X30 Will be The World’s First Phone to Launch With Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 September 25, 2023

The Moto Edge X30 is planned to be released on December 9th, but it has already made headlines due to its use of the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU. Though little is known about the remainder of its specifications, the Lenovo-owned brand did provide a few information via a live image of this forthcoming flagship phone.

According to the posters, the phone has a 6.67-inch OLED Full HD+ display with symmetrical top and bottom bezels. The display has a refresh rate of 144Hz, HDR10+ compatibility, and 10-bit colours.

The Edge X30 is believed to be the world’s first smartphone powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU. The phone is rumoured to have 8GB/12GB LPDDR5 RAM as well as two UFS 3.1 storage options – 128GB and 256GB. However, there is no option for expanded storage here. The device, however, will come preinstalled with My UX 3.0, which is based on Android 12.

The Moto Edge X30 will have a big 5,000mAh battery that supports 68W fast charging and, happily, will come with a fast charger.

The Edge X30’s camera will be a huge 60-megapixel punch-hole selfie camera. The phone’s back camera configuration will have a 50MP primary camera with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth sensor. According to previous reports, the dual 50-megapixel lenses will be joined by a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The Moto Edge X30 is set to make its formal debut on December 9 and will go on sale in China on December 15. However, there is no news on when the phone will be offered in other countries.
