2022 seems to be the year of foldable and under-display camera smartphones, and a new report by a reliable industry insider shows that Motorola will be launching a phone with the latter quite soon.
Digital Chat Station has acknowledged that Motorola has been extra keen on releasing flagship-level offerings with high-end chipsets this time around. The Moto S30 with the Snapdragon 888+ and the Moto X30 (Edge 30 Ultra globally) with the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipsets are reportedly already on the way in December. These two may now be joined by another third model with an under-display selfie camera.
Recently, Chen Jin, general manager of Lenovo’s phone division in China, hinted through a post on Weibo that Motorola will officially announce a new generation of Snapdragon 8 Gen1 flagship at the Qualcomm Snapdragon Technology Summit. The phone may very well be the very first to sport the chip, as the Xiaomi 12 with the same is expected to be released only towards the end of December.
As for the under-display selfie camera phone, there is no indication of it being released on the very same day as the Moto S30 and the Moto X30, meaning that it could also be launched in Q1 2022. Apart from this, there isn’t really anything known about the mysterious phone at the moment. But considering that it has now been exposed, more leaks and rumors should be following soon.
At present, there aren’t many phones on the market with an under-screen front camera implementation. Xiaomi and ZTE are the leading two, and if Motorola manages to pull it off well, the tech would give the company quite the Edge.
