Motorola announced the Moto Edge X30 as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone in December 2021 in China. The Edge branding was later dropped for the Chinese market. The X30 was rebranded as the Motorola Edge 30 Pro in the global market in January this year. There is a possibility that the company may release a new flagship phone in China by the end of this year. This seems possible as an alleged X-series flagship phone has bagged approval from the 3C authority of China.

A new Motorola phone with an XT2301-5 model number has appeared in the database of the 3C regulatory body. The listing reveals that it is a 5G phone, which may ship with a 68W charger. It seems that it could be the next X-series flagship phone, which may debut by December this year as a successor to the Moto Edge X30. So, it looks like the XT2301-5 might be sold in China under the name Moto X40 or something similar.

The leaked roadmap of upcoming Motorola phones revealed that the company’s upcoming flagship phones for the global market are codenamed Bronco and Canyon. These devices are speculated to be released in the global market as the Motorola Edge 40 and the Edge 40 Pro.

The Moto X40 heading to the Chinese market may get rebranded as the Edge 40 Pro in the global market. The alleged Moto X40 / Edge 40 Pro is expected to arrive with a 165Hz FHD+ OLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM, a 60-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide + macro) + 12-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit.

It is best to take the report with a grain of salt and wait for more news to find out what the final marketing name of the Motorola XT2301 really is.
