Motorola is expected to soon announce the Moto X40 in China. It will be one of the first phones to come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. The same device is expected to debut early next year with the Motorola Edge 40 Pro moniker in the global market. Chen Jin, Lenovo Group General Manager for Mobile Division, revealed the X40’s AnTuTu benchmark score before the launch.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip will be rivaled by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200. A recent report revealed that the D9200 scored 1,266,1012 on AnTuTu. Now, the screenshot that Chen Jin shared shows that the upcoming Moto X40, which has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, has gotten a higher score of 1,312,901. It appears that the SD8G2 may offer slightly better performance over the D9200 chip since there is no vast difference between the benchmark scores of both chips.
