Motorola will be hosting a launch event in China tomorrow (August 2) to unveil the Moto Edge X30 Pro and Razr 2022. According to certifications, the company may announce yet another phone called Moto S30 Pro (XT2243). This device has been now spotted on Geekbench.

A few days back, almost entire specs of the upcoming Moto S30 Pro leaked via TENAA. Now, the smartphone has appeared on Geekbench revealing its chipset.

TENAA listings don’t describe the name of the chip and neither does Geekbench. But we can get the exact configuration of SoCs from the latter to find out their names.
