Originally, there was going to be a single smartphone launch event next week. But now, two of the conferences that got postponed this week may take place next week. Hence, the number of events has increased to three.

The biggest conference of all will be Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event for its next-gen foldable phones. Whereas, the second most important one will be by Motorola, which is again for a foldable handset.

The third and final event will be by OnePlus to debut its latest flagship smartphone in China, which went official internationally a few days back.

Talking about the handsets, the Motorola Razr 2022 is the company’s third-gen foldable smartphone. It will compete against the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Further, the Moto Edge X30 Pro is the world’s first smartphone with a 200MP main camera. Finally, the Moto S30 Pro is a flagship killer smartphone.

Lenovo-owned Motorola is gearing up to launch the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra in the global market. The same device will release with the Motorola Edge X30 Pro moniker in China.

Ahead of its August 2 launch, the general manager of Lenovo China mobile phone business department, Chen Jin has hinted at the pricing of the upcoming Moto X30 Pro. According to a MyDrivers report, Chen Jin revealed that the Moto X30 Pro will be priced higher than the Moto Edge X30.

For those unaware, the Motorola Edge X30 with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset launched with a 2,999 yuan (about $445) starting price tag back in December 2021. So it is pretty obvious that its successor that’s coming with the new and improved Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset will be priced higher.

However, that’s not the only reason for the increased price tag as the device will also debut with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP1 primary camera sensor. This camera sensor is quite large, reaching 1/1.22 inches, has a unit pixel area of ​​0.64μm, and supports ChameleonCell pixel synthesis. It is also quite expensive, which is likely the reason for the price hike with the device over its vanilla variant.

Motorola Edge X30 Pro specs (rumored)

The Moto X30 Pro, according to previous rumors, will sport a 4.500mAh battery with 125W fast charging, a 6.73-inch P-OLED FHD+ 144Hz display, and up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, with up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Additionally, wireless charging will be supported.

The X30 Pro will be the first smartphone in the world to sport a 200-megapixel camera. A 12-megapixel telephoto lens and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens will be attached to this camera. A 60-megapixel front camera will be available for selfies.
