Two upcoming Motorola phones have been approved by the CMIIT authority of China. The model numbers of the two devices are XT2251-1 and XT2243-2. The former appears to be the Motorola Frontier flagship, which is expected to launch soon in China.
The Chinese tipster who spotted the CMIIT listing claims that the XT2251-1 could be the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship, which may be released in July. The XT2243-2 appears to be an Edge series. Unfortunately, the CMIIT listings have no information on the specs of these smartphones.
Recent reports have revealed that Motorola’s Frontier flagship will debut as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 powered device. While it is expected to launch in global markets as the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra, there is no word on its moniker for China.
The device is rumored to house a 6.8-inch FHD+ 144Hz refresh rate display, a 60-megapixel front camera, and a 50-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit. The SD+8G1 powered phone may ship with 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.
A recent leak revealed that the Motorola Edge 2022 is also in the works. It is expected to arrive with key specs such as a 6.5-inch pOLED FHD+ 144Hz display, a Dimensity 1050 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of storage, a 32-megapixel front camera, a 50-megapixel (main, with OIS) + 13-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (depth), and a 6,000mAh battery with fast charging support. It is unclear whether the XT2243-2 model number belongs to this device.
