In October 2023, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. The official statement released after the chip’s launch listed several brands that planned to incorporate it into their devices. These included Asus, Honor, iQOO, Meizu, Nio, Nubia, OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, Redmi, Red Magic, Sony, Vivo, Xiaomi, and ZTE. Notably, all brands except Vivo and Sony have already introduced smartphones powered by the SD8G3. Although the Vivo X100 Ultra, featuring this chip, is expected to debut in April, the Sony flagship is anticipated to be unveiled in the first half of the year. Interestingly, it was surprising to see that Motorola was not mentioned in the list. A fresh leak suggests that the Lenovo-owned brand will indeed launch a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone in the next few months in China.
Motorola’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone incoming
According to tipster Wisdom Pikachu, Motorola is working on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and it will go official in Q2 2024. That’s it; there is nothing else known about the mysterious phone.
Motorola releases its flagship phones under the X-series in China and the Edge-series in the global market. To recollect, the company unveiled the Moto X40 featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip in December 2022, and the same device was rebranded as the Motorola Edge 40 Pro for the global market in April 2023.
While there is no confirmation yet, there is a possibility that Motorola’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 may launch as the Moto X50 in China. The same device may get repackaged as the Motorola Edge 50 Pro in the global market.
Hopefully, the rumor mill will spill more details about the mysterious Motorola flagship phone in the coming weeks.
