Motorola is gearing to unleash the Moto Edge X powered by Qualcomm’s forthcoming flagship chipset in December. While the rumor mill has been calling the chipset as the Snapdragon 898, a new report from today claimed that the U.S. based chip maker will announce it with the “Snapdragon 8 Gen1” name. According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the Lenovo-owned company is planning to launch dual flagships in China in December. These models are said to be powered by an existing Snapdragon 8-series chip and the next-generation 8-series SoC.
The tipster claimed that in a bid to launch dual flagship phones, Motorola will also announce a phone powered by the Snapdragon 888+ chipset. This chipset has powered some flagship phones such as iQOO 8 Pro, Vivo X70 Pro+, Red Magic 6S Pro, ROG Phone 5S, Honor Magic 3 Pro, and Meizu 18s. As it is known, the Snapdragon 888 Plus is an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 888 SoC.
The tipster did not share any information on the specs of the upcoming Snapdragon 888+ SoC powered flagship. Considering that the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 powered Motorola flagship will carry the Moto Edge X moniker, it is likely that SD888+ could also arrive as an Edge series phone. He added that this device will carry a low price.
Moto Edge X specifications (Rumored)
Reports have revealed that the Edge X will have a 6.67-inch OLED FHD+ 144Hz display, up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 68W fast charging. It will come preinstalled with MyUX based Android 11.
The Edge X may feature a 60-megapixel front-facing camera. Its back panel may house a 50-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera unit. This model is speculated to debut with the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra moniker in Europe in January.
