Motorola “Nio” is a smartphone that’s widely rumored to be Motorola’s upcoming flagship device. Ahead of the official launch, alleged live images of the device have now appeared.
First spotted and reported by Nils Ahrensmeier(@NilsAhrDE), the live images of a Motorola device has appeared on Weibo a few days ago. This device has a dual punch-hole screen at the front, and a Moto G 5G Plus-like quad-camera layout on the back. However, the position of Flash is below the cameras here.
Further, the rear of the device seems to have a color that the tipster says is the ‘Sky’ variant. Apart from this, the device will also have a “Beryl” which could be a Green/Blue color. On the back, there is a “64MP camera” and “Audio Zoom” keywords. On the right, there are volume buttons and power-cum-fingerprint senor button.
The settings on the front image shows it as “Motorola Edge Plus” which means this could just be a prototype. That said, the display on this live image is also similar to a front render of Motorola “Nio” with a dual punch-hole screen leaked a few days ago.
For those who don’t know, a Motorola smartphone codenamed “Nio” and Model number XT2125 has already cleared multiple certifications. So far, we know that a Wi-Fi alliance certification revealing support for Wi-Fi (2.4, 5GHz), and run Android 11.
Similarly, FCC and TUV showed that the device will have 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, NFC, and GNSS, and a 5,000mAh battery with 20W charging. Previous reports said that the device is a flagship running older Snapdragon 865 SoC and a 64MP triple-cameras. However, the latest image contradicts it with a quad-camera image.
Either way, the device will likely have a FHD+ display with a 2520×1080 resolution and a possible 105Hz refresh rate, come with 8/12GB RAM and 128/256GB storage. For cameras, you can expect a 64MP main, 16MP ultra-wide sensors on the back, and a 16MP+8MP(ultra-wide) set up in the front for selfies.
Nevertheless, the Motorola “Nio” is expected to launch as Motorola Edge S in China and a flagship under Moto-G branding elsewhere.
