Oppo has confirmed that it will announce its next foldable phones, the Find N2 and the Find N2 Flip, on Dec. 15. Oppo will not be the only company to release new devices on the specified date. Today, Motorola released an official confirmation that the Moto X40 will break cover on Dec. 15.
The Moto X40 will arrive as the successor to the Moto Edge X30, which debuted in December 2021. Since Motorola is no longer using Edge branding for its devices in China, the Edge X30 will be called the Moto X40. There have been some rumors that claim that Motorola’s upcoming flagship will be called the Moto X40 Pro. However, as of now, the company is yet to confirm the said moniker.
Hence, the next Motorola flagship, arriving on Dec. 15, will be called the Moto X40. Rumors surrounding the device have claimed that the X40 will be rebranded as the Motorola Edge 40 Pro in the global market. The global launch of the device is expected to happen in Q1 2023.
A Motorola phone with the XT2301-5 moniker was approved by the TENAA and 3C authorities of China in October. This device is most likely to launch as the Moto X40 in China. Shown below is a recently leaked CAD render of the Moto X40.
Moto X40 specifications (rumored)
The Moto X40 will feature a 6.67-inch OLED display with curved edges. It will offer a Full HD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform will be present under the hood of the Moto X40. It will arrive with up to 18 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. The phone will run on My UI 5.0-based Android 13 OS.
The X40 will have a 60-megapixel camera for snapping selfies. The rear shell of the device will have a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera. It is likely to arrive in 4,500mAh and 5,000mAh battery variants. While it has been spotted with a 68W charger at 3C, it may come equipped with up to 125W fast charging. The X40 is also said to be an IP68-rated device.
