Moto X40’s launch date seems to be drawing near. The device has been recently spotted on certification platforms like 3C and TENAA. At the same time, Chen Jin, the general manager of Lenovo’s China Mobile Phone Business Department, has started teasing the arrival of the Moto X40. Today, he confirmed two of the main features of the device.

Several reports have claimed that the Moto X40, which will be rebranded as the Motorola Edge 40 Pro in the global markets in the coming months, will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. In the screengrab of Chen Jin’s Weibo post, he can be seen hinting that the X40 is equipped with a “new flagship platform” and LPDDR5X RAM. The new flagship platform that he is talking about appears to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, which is expected to launch next month (November).

Its predecessor, the Moto Edge X30, went official as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone in December 2021. With 3C and TENAA certifications already under its belt, it appears that the Moto X40 could be one of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phones to launch this year.

The Moto X40’s specifications haven’t yet appeared on TENAA. It only shows images of the phone, whereas its 3C certification reveals that it may be able to charge at 68W.
