The post Super Deal: Get Motorola Edge X30 for as low as $399 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Motorola officially launched the Moto Edge X30 Under Screen Camera Edition in China as scheduled. As the name suggests, the smartphone’s front-facing camera is housed underneath its display. The device was first teased in December at the Moto Edge X30 launch event.

The newly released Moto Edge X30 Under Screen Camera Edition is the same as the Moto Edge X30. The only difference is that its 60MP selfie camera is nested below the display.

The phone arrives in a single 12GB + 256GB memory configuration. It is priced at ¥3,999 ($630). But for a limited time, it will be sold at a discounted price tag of ¥3,499 ($551). The handset is already up for pre-order in China. It will be available for purchase starting March 30.

At the same time, Motorola has also dropped the price of the regular Moto Edge X30 by ¥400. Hence, it now costs ¥2,799 ($441), ¥2,999 ($472), and ¥3,199 ($504) for 8GB + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB, and 12GB + 256GB memory variants respectively.

The device was already the most affordable smartphone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. With the price cut, it has now become even cheaper.

The same phone is sold as Motorola Edge Plus (2022) in the US and Motorola Edge 30 Pro in other international markets. Though it offers the exact set of features, it costs way more in these markets. For example, it is priced at $999.99 in the US and ₹49,999 in India.

A couple of months ago, in December 2021, Motorola took the wraps off the Moto Edge X30 flagship smartphone, which also happens to be the world’s first smartphone to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

Now, the company is all set to launch a new variant of the smartphone called Moto Edge X30 Under Screen Edition, which as the name indicates, features an under-display camera sensor. The company had earlier revealed that the phone will go official in Spring.

Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo China’s Mobile Phone Business department has revealed that the Moto Edge X30 Under Screen Edition will be launched in the Chinese market in the month of March but no specific date has been confirmed.

Apart from the change in the front-facing camera’s positioning and sensor, we expect almost all the specifications of this new upcoming smartphone to remain the same as the standard model available in the market.

The phone is likely to feature a 6.7-inch OLED Full-HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 576Hz touch sampling rate. It will offer a 100 percent DCI P3 color gamut, HDR10+, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Lenovo was the first phone manufacturer to ship Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset on its flagship Motorola Edge X30 back in December 2021. The phone was not the best in its segment, considering the alternative offerings from other competitors such as Xiaomi, Realme and Huawei. But considering its relative starting price of around 600 USD, the Motorola flagship was great for those who did not have much stretch on their budget.

Just when we thought that the standard Motorola Edge X30 would be the only flagship from Lenovo in 2022, a new listing on 3C Certification states that a new Motorola smartphone has been certified for electronics safety and it may be a new member in the Motorola Edge X30 family.

The news comes from ITHome, where they have spotted that 3C Certification recently listed a Motorola smartphone bearing the model number XT2201-6. From the listing, the Motorola XT2201-6 is stated to support 68W fast wired charging, which is currently exclusively available on the Motorola Edge X30. 

Another indicator that the Motorola XT2201-6 may be a new member of the Motorola Edge X30 lineup is its model number. The Motorola Edge X30 was launched in December 2021, but leaks started pouring out as early as early November 2021 with the model number XT2201-2. Considering that both the model numbers share the same XT2201 code, it may seem that the Motorola XT2201-6 may be a Motorola Edge X30 Ultra.

Although there has not been any other leaks or rumours directly regarding the Motorola Edge X30 Ultra, there have been a lot of leaks recently regarding the Motorola Frontier, Motorola’s next flagship which could bear the market name of Motorola Edge X30 Ultra.

An earlier leak by Evan Blass showed off renders of the Motorola Frontier, which is Motorola’s entry into the ultra-premium smartphone space. The leaked image shows the Motorola Frontier from all angles in a lustrous, metallic grey finish on the back. And the front display features very narrow bezels on all sides, with exaggerated curves on both the left and right sides of the phone to provide more screen real estate for the user.

As for the rear triple camera setup, it houses a major camera island equipped with a rumoured 194-megapixels sensor, which is expected to be the ‘S5KHP1’ sensor manufactured by Samsung. As for the other 2 cameras at the bottom, it is rumoured to be the 50-megapixel Samsung SKJN1SQ03 ultrawide sensor and the 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 telephoto camera for zoom shots.

The post Upcoming Motorola Smartphone Spotted on 3C Certification, A New Member to the Motorola Edge X30 family? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Ever since the launch of the new flagship smartphones rocking the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, we have been testing them against one another to bring you more clarity on their performance in various scenarios.

And today, the Gizmochina team brings you the Gaming performance of Xiaomi 12 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro, the iQOO 9 Pro, and the Moto Edge X30, to answer the frequently asked question of which amount these is the best for gaming.

Benchmark tests

To kick things off, we first put all the devices through the usual Geekbench 5, 3DMark, and Antutu Benchmarks to get a baseline.

The iQOO 9 Pro puts the best overall performance in Geekbench scoring 3840 points in the multi-core test and 1225 points in the single-core test.  It is worth mentioning that the Realme GT 2 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro managed to outshine the iQOO 9 Pro in single-core performance with 1264 and 1229 points respectively. However, the device had a sizable lead against them in multi-core tests landing it in the first position.

The iQOO 9 Pro also scored the highest in the Antutu benchmark with 1,020,542 points and is followed closely by the Xiaomi 12 Pro which managed a score of 993,852 points. Surprisingly, the OnePlus 10 Pro takes the cake in the GPU-intensive 3DMark Wild Life test with the best peek out of all five devices with 10,069 points.

However, peek performance is not a good metric to display the real-life performance of smartphones as it omits the prolonged use case. So next up, we subject the five Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagships to the 3Dmark Wildlife extreme stress test which repeats the same stress test 20 times in a row.

In this stress test, the OnePlus 10 Pro started headstrong however its performance went down from round 8 due to thermal throttling. The iQOO 9 Pro was the only device to maintain durable performance output with excellent stability across the stress test. The Motorola Edge X30 also performed well offering almost 70% stability through the test however it was also the hottest running phone among the five devices. Unfortunately, the Xiaomi 12 Pro wasn’t able to complete the test due to its overheating limit.

Gaming framerate and heating test

But benchmarks are not always indicative of actual game performance so we quickly loaded up some games in the five flagships to test which one is the actual performance king when it comes to gaming.

First up, we tested PUBG Mobile which was a breeze for all five devices. All of them managed similar average FPS numbers in the range of 59-60 FPS. But in Genshin Impact, the devices started showing gaps in thermal and frame rate performance.

The Realme GT 2 Pro gave us the biggest surprise with its highest average FPS numbers at 57.6. However, once we factor in the heat produced by the smartphones, the iQOO 9 Pro emerges as the true winner of this test by offering 54.5 FPS on average while remaining almost 4-5 degrees cooler than the Realme GT 2 Pro.

For our third and last game test, we ran Nimian Legends at 2k resolution and the highest graphic settings the game has to offer.

This time around, the Motorola Edge X30 stands out from its competitors with an average of 46.2 frames per second but the phone also got as hot as 56 degrees celsius which made it really uncomfortable to hold. Apart from the Edge X30, the other four devices remained close to each other giving 39-40 FPS on average.

Conclusion

If we only look at the framerate data, the Realme GT 2 Pro and the Moto Edge X30 offer the best performance out of the bunch. However, when we consider the thermal performance of the devices and their stability in maintaining consistent frame rates, the iQOO 9 Pro emerges as the undisputed king of gaming devices out of the five.

The post Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Gaming Performance Test: Xiaomi 12 Pro vs OnePlus 10 Pro vs Realme GT 2 Pro vs iQOO 9 Pro vs Moto Edge X30 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Among the first companies which released a flagship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, there are two brands that a lot of people would never expect. Motorola is not one of the main smartphone brands, yet it released the first device with the best Qualcomm chipset for 2022. Another device came up from Vivo’s sub-brand iQOO. Vivo is yet to release a phone with this processor, but its sub-brand already did. The Motorola Edge X30 and the iQOO 9 Pro share an important thing in common: an aggressive price tag. This will help these brands to grow up in the flagship segment. This is a comparison that will highlight the differences between their specifications.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Vivo iQOO 9 Pro

Design

In my opinion, the iQOO 9 Pro has the most attractive design for two reasons. First of all, it has a beautifully curved screen at the sides and a very high screen to body ratio of close to 90 percent. Further, it comes with a very original glass back, especially in the BMW M Motorsport Edition coming with the iconic BMW M Motorsport colors. On the other hand, the Motorola Edge X30 is still a good option with its beautiful aesthetics and its water-repellent body protected by Gorilla Glass 5. However, the Motorola Edge X30 is less impressive because it has a lower screen to body ratio and a flat display.

Display

The display of the iQOO 9 Pro is actually superior to the one found on the Motorola Edge X30. It is an AMOLED display with the LTPO technology (adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz for low energy consumption), one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, as well as a fast and accurate in-display fingerprint scanner. The Motorola Edge X30 is equipped with a great panel: an OLED display with one billion colors, an even higher 144 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. However, due to the lower Full HD+ resolution and the absence of other advanced technologies such as LTPO and Dolby Vision, it loses the comparison.

Specs & Software

As already mentioned, the iQOO 9 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30 are powered by the same chipset: the octa-core Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. The chip is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.1 native storage, but with the iQOO 9 Pro, you can get more internal storage: up to 512 GB instead of just 256 GB. This is what makes the difference between the hardware departments of these devices. The operating system installed on both the devices is Android 12, customized by Origin OS Ocean and MYUI, respectively.

Camera

If you are in need of the most advanced cameras, then you should go for the iQOO 9 Pro without thinking twice. It has a 50 MP main sensor with gimbal stabilization which is actually superior to the classic OIS systems. It adds a 50 MP ultrawide camera with a wide 150° FOV, as well as a telephoto sensor with a 16 MP resolution, OIS, and a 2.5x optical zoom. The Motorola Edge X30 has a 50 MP main sensor as well and a 50 MP ultrawide camera but with a lower FOV. The telephoto lens gets replaced by a useless 2 MP macro camera, but the front camera is actually better with its 60 MP resolution.

Battery

The battery of the Motorola Edge X30 is bigger with a capacity of 5000 mAh and it is able to provide a longer battery life. But the iQOO 9 Pro supports faster 120W charging and, unlike the Edge X30, it even supports wireless charging.

Price

The starting price of the iQOO 9 Pro roughly translates into €795/$899, while you need just €420/$475 for the Motorola Edge X30. The iQOO flagship wins the comparison thanks to a better display and superior cameras, but the Motorola one provides a higher value for money. Which one would you pick?

The post Motorola Edge X30 vs iQOO 9 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Ever since its launch in December 2021, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC has been featured in flagship devices from various brands. But which of these devices offers the best optimization for the new SoC right now?

To answer this question, the Gizmochina team has pitted the Xiaomi 12 Pro, the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro, the iQOO 9 Pro, and the Moto Edge X30 against one another to see which device offers lower app opening and loading times as well as how well the devices manage their RAM.

We have used the latest stable version of the system for testing which will be listed below. We have not made any changes to the phone’s settings and are running them on their factory setup. For example, by default, every phone has RAM expansion on so we haven’t turned it off. And going by that logic, we have also avoided any high high-performance mode because they don’t come enabled out of the box and most people don’t use them for basic tasks.

Also, for every test, we have given a score out of 5 points. So, 1st position gets 5 Points, 2nd gets 4, 3rd gets 3, 4th gets 2 points and 5th position gets 1.

APP loading time test

So let’s begin with our first test which focuses on app opening and loading times. For this test, we used multiple apps including Twitter, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, and more as well as some games like Temple Run, Candy Crush, PUBG mobile, and Genshin Impact.

All the smartphones were fast at opening lightweight apps however, the Realme GT 2 Pro surprisingly came on top in loading times with being able to quickly open Google Chrome, the camera app, and other heavy apps like Adobe Premiere rush, and PUBG Mobile. The OnePlus 10 Pro came at second and the iQOO 9 Pro and the Moto Edge X30 followed it for a close third.

The most surprising result in this test was the Xiaomi 12 Pro which was sometimes way faster than other phones however, lost to them while opening the majority of apps. This may be due to the device not killing any of the background processes.

RAM management test

For RAM management, we ran 16 apps back to back while minimizing the previous app. This time around, the Xiaomi 12 Pro reigned supreme with a perfect 16/16 score followed closely by the Realme GT 2 Pro and OnePlus 10 Pro. The Moto Edge X30 was the most underperforming device in this regard due to its 8GB ram capacity compared to other devices which operate on 12GB. However, the most disappointing device for RAM management was the iQOO 9 Pro which only managed to keep up with the other devices a mere 4 out of 16 times.

Conclusion

The Realme GT 2 Pro offers the best overall performance with 74 Points. The device goes unchallenged in the app opening test and comes in a close second for RAM management.

The OnePlus 10 Pro also offers good performance and manages to secure the second spot overall with 65 points.

The Xiaomi 12 Pro performs the best when it comes to RAM management but struggles in app opening time due to not killing any background processes.

iQOO 9 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30 come in 3rd and 4th positions respectively, which is understandable for the Motorola phone because of its lower RAM capacity, however, the iQOO 9 Pro might be facing some optimization issues in its current software build which is hindering its RAM management capabilities.

A few days ago we learned that the OnePlus 10 Pro will probably be launched in the global market in February. But it won’t be alone: the next month will be one of the most important of the year because a lot of flagships will debut globally. One of them is the Motorola Edge X30, rumored to soon hit the global market under the Motorola Edge 30 Pro moniker. Both these flagships are equipped with the most powerful Qualcomm chipset and they feature amazing specs sheets: are you wondering which one offers the highest value for money in the Chinese market? We will try to let you find out through this comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and Motorola Edge X30.

OnePlus 10 Pro vs Motorola Edge X30

Design

The design of the OnePlus 10 Pro is very original: you will either love it or hate it. But if it matches your tastes, then this device will be aesthetically amazing. It comes with premium materials including a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass and an aluminum frame, as well as an elegantly curved screen with the Gorilla Glass Victus protection and very narrow bezels. The Motorola Edge X30 has a glass back as well, but its design is less impressive with its flat display and a less original rear cover. However, it has a water-repellent coating which may turn useful for those who often use their phones in the rain. The dimensions, thickness, and weight of these phones are very similar.

Display

The best display belongs to the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is an amazing AMOLED panel with LTPO 2.0 technology providing an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and very low energy consumption. The display shows up to one billion colors with the HDR10+ certification and a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels. It includes the Gorilla Glass Victus protection and an in-display fingerprint reader. The only advantage provided by the Motorola Edge X30 is a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but for the rest, it is an inferior display. We are talking about an OLED panel with one billion colors, the HDR10+ certification, and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels which does not include an in-display fingerprint reader (it is side-mounted).

Specs & Software

There are no differences between the hardware departments of the OnePlus 10 Pro and the Motorola Edge X30. They are both equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform running at a max frequency of 3 GHz and built at 4 nm. Even the memory configurations are the same: you get either 8 or 12 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The important difference is the software: the former runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12 which is a better user interface if compared to the MYUI found on the Motorola Edge X30. Further, it may get longer software support with three years of major Android updates.

Camera

The OnePlus 10 Pro is undoubtedly a better camera phone, even though the Motorola Edge X30 features great cameras. The OnePlus 10 Pro comes with a 48 MP main sensor with omnidirectional autofocus and OIS, an 8 MP telephoto camera with 3.3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 50 MP ultrawide camera. With the Motorola flagship, you get an amazing 50 MP main camera and even a 50 MP camera just like its rival, but it lacks a telephoto lens and replaces it with a useless 2 MP macro camera. On the other hand, it has a better selfie camera with a 60 MP resolution.

Battery

The battery capacities of these devices are exactly the same (5000 mAh), but the OnePlus 10 Pro will likely last more on a single charge because of its LTPO 2.0 technology and the adaptive refresh rate. Further, it is able to charge quicker thanks to 80W fast charging. Last but not least, unlike its rival, it features 50W wireless charging.

Price

You need just €420/$477 to purchase the base variant of the Motorola Edge X30, while the OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €650/$738. The OnePlus flagship wins the comparison because it offers a better display, superior cameras, faster charging, and wireless charging. But Motorola released a phone with a higher value for money thanks to a very affordable price.

Back in December 2021, Lenovo was the first phone manufacturer to ship Qualcomm’s latest and greatest, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset on its flagship Moto Edge X30. However, camera performance for the device was quite average compared to the competition (our Edge X30 review here), but Lenovo is looking to improve the phone’s camera performance in its next update.

The news came from Lenovo’s Senior Product Manager in China, Chen Jin. Chen, under his Weibo username “Amazing Bro”, confirmed that the Moto Edge X30 will be receiving a major software update by Lenovo before the Lunar New Year(February 1, 2022), hinting that the update will be available to users before January ends.

As for the features that the upcoming major software update will bring, Chen mentions that the Moto Edge X30 will sport improved camera software than the current camera software on the Moto Edge X30 and the video recording on the new camera software is described as jaw-dropping. Chen also shared that the new update will include support for video recordings in higher fps, allowing for smoother movements in videos.

As for security improvements, Chen emphasizes that the Moto Edge X30 will now have a new “Privacy Space” mode after the major update. Chen did not mention the highlights of this new mode, but the mode may work similar to Xiaomi’s Second Space, where the phone allows you to use 2 totally different spaces on your phone — one for work and one for leisure purposes with games, social media, and video-sharing platforms.

In the post, Chen also brings his regret that the software team was not able to develop a solution for a more stock Android-like notification center and notification shade, because Lenovo wanted to release the major update before the Lunar New Year. The update will roll out to Moto Edge X30 devices in China by the end of January 2022.

As for the hardware on the Moto Edge X30, it features a 6.7″ OLED HDR10+ display and comes with 8GB / 12 GB RAM and 128GB / 256GB internal storage. The smartphone comes with a triple rear camera setup flaunting a 50MP, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS main camera, and 50MP + 2MP secondary ones. For your selfies, you have a 60MP HDR wide-angle camera in the front.

Powered by the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Octa-Core processor, the smartphone runs on Android 12 based MYUI 3.0. It is fueled by a large 5000mAh Li-Po battery and supports 68W fast charging. This means you can charge your phone from 0 to 100% in just 35 mins. Motorola Edge X30 comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and is available in Black and White colour variants.

If you are interested in the standard Moto Edge X30, the phone is now available for order at Giztop for $599.

The post Moto Edge X30 will Receive a Huge Camera Performance Boost in Its Next Update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Lenovo-owned Motorola launched its latest flagship smartphone in the form of Moto Edge X30, making it the world’s first smartphone to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

One of the company’s executives has taken to Weibo to share an image of the retail box of an upcoming smartphone which is a special edition for the Moto Edge X30 featuring an under-display camera sensor.

The upcoming smartphone, dubbed Moto Edge X30 Under-Screen Camera Edition, is expected to get officially launched soon in the Chinese market given that the phone has been teased by Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo’s China Mobile Phone Business.

However, apart from the image of the retail box, there’s nothing known about the smartphone, including its launch date, availability, specifications, or pricing but we expect more information to surface online in the coming days.

While the specifications remain unknown, we expect them to be the same as the original model. The phone will come with a 60-megapixel front-facing camera sensor and will become the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered smartphone to have an under-display camera sensor.

It may continue to feature a 6.7 inch OLED Full-HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 576Hz touch sampling rate. It will offer a 100 percent DCI P3 color gamut, HDR10+, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. On the backside, there will be a triple-camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor. The phone will be running the Android 12 operating system and powered by a 5,000mAh battery with support for fast charging.

Are you ready for the best 2022 flagships? If you are looking for the most advanced hardware department at the best price, then you cannot ignore the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro this year. These devices have nothing to envy the most expensive phones in the market, but their prices are simply amazing. The former will probably hit the global market until the Motorola Edge 30 Pro moniker and the latter is coming soon in the European market as well, after being launched in China and India. Given that these devices carry similar price tags, we think it is time for a comparison between the specifications of the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Realme GT 2 Pro

Design

The Realme GT 2 Pro is definitely one of the most attractive phones released this year in terms of design. The Paper White and the Paper Green color options of this handset are made with a special bio-based polymer which resembles the sensation of the paper. It is a very sustainable material reducing carbon emissions and it even makes the phone more original and beautiful, without renouncing to great build quality. This design is definitely better than the one of the Motorola Edge X30 which is a classic phone with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and an average look. But the Motorola flagship is water-repellent, which is a cool feature for those who want to use their phones while it is raining.

Display

The Motorola Edge X30 has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate, but the best display of this comparison belongs to the Realme GT 2 Pro. It is equipped with an AMOLED panel sporting the LTPO 2.0 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and very low energy consumption. The display shows up to one billion colors, it has a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification. This display has a higher image quality including a better color reproduction and a higher level of detail. The Motorola Edge X30 has an OLED display with one billion colors as well, but with a lower Full HD+ resolution and without the LTPO technology.

Specs & Software

The best advantage of the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro is definitely their processor: an amazing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform which is currently the most advanced SoC by Qualcomm, running at a max frequency of 3 GHz. Given that they have the same SoC and the same max amount of RAM (up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM), they will likely offer the same level of performance. But with the Realme GT 2 Pro, you can actually get more internal storage: up to 512 GB. Last but not least, its software department is more advanced as it is the Realme UI 3.0 based on ColorOS 12 and Android 12. I tested the Realme UI 3.0 thoroughly and I found out that it offers a lot more features and more optimization.

Camera

The rear camera setup of the Realme GT 2 Pro is superior to the Motorola Edge X30. It is composed of a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main camera with omnidirectional phase detection autofocus and OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 3 MP microscope lens with 40x magnification. The Motorola Edge X30 comes with two 50 MP cameras including an ultrawide one and a 2 MP depth sensor, clearly inferior to the Realme GT 2 Pro, but it has a better 60 MP selfie camera.

Battery

The battery capacities of the Motorola Edge X30 and the Realme GT 2 Pro are the same: 5000 mAh. But the latter will most likely last more in a lot of scenarios thanks to its efficient display with the LTPO 2.0 technology.

Price

The Motorola Edge X30 has a starting price tag of €420/$476 in the Chinese market, while Realme GT 2 Pro starts from €542/$615. At the end of the day, the Realme GT 2 Pro wins the comparison thanks to a better design, display, and rear cameras. But the Edge X30 is a lot more affordable, so its value for money is higher.

Motorola Edge X30 and Xiaomi 12 have an important thing in common: they are the world’s first phones equipped with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. And that is not all: despite being powered by the most powerful chipset out there, they are even available at great listing prices as they are not among the most affordable phones in the market and they provide a very high value for money. That is the reason why a lot of people with a good knowledge of the actual smartphone market are wondering which one they should buy. This is a comparison between the specifications of the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phones.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Xiaomi 12

Design

If you want the cutest design, then I think you should choose the Xiaomi 12. First of all, its dimensions are a lot more compact. Further, the design of the camera isle is somewhat very modern and well-made. The handset is thinner than the Motorola Edge X30 and it has a higher screen to body ratio: two other added values for a device like this. The Motorola Edge X30 has a water repellent coating which may turn useful under the rain and in other situations, while the Xiaomi 12 has more resistant glasses thanks to the protection provided by Gorilla Glass Victus by Corning.

Display

The specifications of these displays are very similar on paper, but the Motorola Edge X30 offers something more for those users who want more. With its wider diagonal of 6.7 inches, the Motorola Edge X30 is a better option for gaming and productivity, while the Xiaomi 12 has a very compact display and it is not the best for the ones who play advanced games and work with their phones. Further, the Motorola Edge X30 has a higher 144 Hz refresh rate which provides a smoother viewing experience. For the rest, these displays do not differ too much: they are OLED panels with one billion colors, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification.

Specs & Software

As already mentioned, these phones are fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, and for this reason, they are two of the fastest and most powerful phones in the whole Android world. In both cases, they provide up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. They both run Android 12 but are customized by different user interfaces. Note that the Xiaomi 12 has an in-display fingerprint reader, while the Motorola Edge X30 has a side-mounted scanner which is less comfortable.

Camera

The Motorola Edge X30 is a better camera phone and this is its biggest pro if compared to the Xiaomi 12. It is equipped with two rear cameras sporting a 50 MP resolution and an additional 2 MP macro camera. The 50 MP ultrawide camera is what makes the difference, as well as its amazing 60 MP front camera making it one of the best phones to shoot selfies. It is worth mentioning that there is a special edition of the Edge X30 with an under-display front camera.

Battery

Thanks to its bigger dimensions, the Motorola Edge X30 has room for a bigger battery: with a capacity of 5000 mAh, it offers 500 mAh more if compared to the Xiaomi 12 and it is able to last more on a single charge. The Xiaomi 12 has a smaller battery, but it supports wireless charging, unlike its opponent. And we are talking about very fast wireless charging technology, thanks to 50W power.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi 12 in China roughly translates into €510/$580 at the actual change, while the Motorola Edge X30 begins at €420/$480. The Motorola Edge X30 wins this comparison thanks to better cameras and a bigger battery, as well as a wider display. But you should note the Xiaomi 12 is currently the most compact last-generation flagship with Android.

This month, Motorola launched the Edge X30 as the world’s first smartphone with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. As of now, the flagship phone is limited to the Chinese market and its global presence was a question. Today, a report revealed the launch timeline of the Edge X30 for the Indian market.

According to 91Mobiles, the Motorola Edge X30 will hit the Indian market by late January or in early February. If this is to be believed then it could be a tough competition to the flagships from popular Chinese phone brands like Xiaomi, Realme, and OnePlus.

As far as the specs are concerned, the Indian unit is expected to have the same internals as the Chinese model.

Motorola Edge X30 Specifications 

The Moto Edge X30 comes with a 6.7-inch OLED display with an FHD+ resolution. It has a crazy high 144Hz refresh rate and a 576Hz touch sampling rate. The phone features 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and HDR10+ support.

Other specs of the phone include a triple camera system with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP tertiary sensor. One of its highlights is the 60MP selfie shooter.

In addition, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 octa-core chipset paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. It packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 68W fast charging technology. It runs on Android 12 out of the box and has MYUI 3.0 custom skin in China.

The Motorola Edge X30 is the most powerful flagship in the market: if you are looking for the best phone for gaming or multitasking, then it is the best choice for you. But is it also the best device if we consider other aspects different from performances? In order to find this out, we decided to compare the Motorola Edge X30 to a lot of other flagships from the last generation. We published a comparison with Samsung Galaxy S21+ and Xiaomi 11T Pro, as well as another comparison with the OnePlus 9 Pro and Vivo X70 Pro+. Now it is the turn of an OPPO flagship to challenge the Motorola Edge X30: we are talking about the amazing OPPO Find X3.

Motorola Edge X30 vs OPPO Find X3

Design

The OPPO Find X3 has one of the best designs made in 2021. It has been dubbed “impossible surface” because it is full of curves, even when it comes to the camera module. The OPPO Find X3 offers a glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as water and dust resistance. It also comes with a display sporting curved edges on the front side. The Motorola Edge X30 is definitely less impressive with its plastic frame, it sports a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 but the aesthetics are nothing special if compared to the OPPO Find X3, but it has a water repellent body.

Display

The displays of the Motorola Edge X30 and the OPPO Find X3 are very close to each other, but the OPPO Find X3 should provide a higher image quality. It shows up to one billion colors and it has the LTPO enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. Further, it supports the BT.2020 and the HDR10+ standards. The Motorola Edge X30 is able to reach a higher refresh rate (up to 144 Hz) but with lower image quality. The OPPO Find X3 is equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader, while the Motorola Edge X30 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Both the phones feature stereo speakers, but they lack a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

The Motorola Edge X30 is way better than OPPO Find X3 when it comes to the hardware side. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform which is the flagship mobile SoC by Qualcomm for 2022, while the OPPO Find X3 is fueled by a Snapdragon 870 which is not even the best Qualcomm’s chipset for 2021. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The operating system installed on the Motorola Edge X30 is Android 12, while the OPPO Find X3 is based on Android 11 customized by ColorOS 11.

Camera

If you need the best rear camera department, then choose the OPPO Find X3. It is equipped with a 50 MP main camera with omnidirectional autofocus and OIS, a telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, a 50 MP ultrawide lens, and a 3 MP microscope sensor with 60x magnification. On the other hand, the Motorola Edge X30 offers a better front camera with a huge 60 MP resolution.

Battery

The battery of the Motorola Edge X30 is bigger and its processor is more efficient, that is the reason why its battery life is longer. The OPPO Find X3 has a smaller battery but, unlike its rival, it supports wireless charging, and it is even fast thanks to a power of 30W. Motorola Edge X30 relies on 68W wired charging and it lacks wireless charging.

Price

The Motorola Edge X30 is available in the Chinese market with a starting price of €420/$475, while you currently need about €550/$623 to purchase the OPPO Find X3. While the Motorola Edge X30 offers a better SoC and a bigger battery, the OPPO Find X3 has a better design, a superior display, and better cameras. Which one would you pick?

The battle between the Motorola Edge X30 and the other flagships continues. Given that it is currently the only handset with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 inside, a lot of people are curious to know whether or not it offers a higher value for money than all the other flagships. That is the reason why we are comparing it to the other high-end phones from several manufacturers. A few days ago, we published the comparison between Motorola Edge S30, OnePlus 9 Pro, and Vivo X70 Pro+. Now, it is time to compare it to the Samsung Galaxy S21+ and the Xiaomi 11T Pro.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G vs Xiaomi 11T Pro

Design

The most original design, the most beautiful look, and the best build quality belong to the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G, at least in my opinion. It has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, front glass with the same protection by Corning, and an aluminum frame. Further, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. The silver medal goes to the Xiaomi 11T Pro which provides a glass back, an aluminum frame, and the IP53 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.

Display

On the paper, the most advanced display is the one of the Motorola Edge X30. It is an OLED panel showing up to one billion colors with a 144 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. But the Xiaomi 11T Pro is not so far: it has one billion colors as well, but the refresh rate is lower (120 Hz). However, the refresh rate does not impact the image quality. The less impressive one is the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G as it shows just 16 million colors, but it is the only one with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

The king of the hardware is the Motorola Edge X30: as already said above, it is the world’s first phone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G and Xiaomi 11T Pro are at the same level with a Snapdragon 888 chipset, but the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G stops at 8 GB of RAM, while the Xiaomi 11T Pro has a configuration with 12 GB of RAM. All the phones run Android 11.

Camera

On the camera side, it is a hard fight between Motorola Edge X30 and Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G. The former is a bit more interesting because of its outstanding 50 MP main sensor and a 50 MP ultrawide lens, as well as an amazing 60 MP front camera that supports 4K video recording. But the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G has an amazing 64 MP telephoto sensor, unlike its two rivals. Xiaomi 11T Pro is inferior with its 108 MP triple camera.

• Read More: Motorola global smartphone shipments to cross 53 million units in 2021: Lenovo Exec

Battery

The Motorola Edge X30 should provide the longest battery life because it has the same big battery capacity as the Xiaomi 11T Pro, but with a more efficient processor. On the other hand, the Xiaomi flagship has the fastest charging technology out there, with a power of 120W.

Price

The Motorola Edge X30 debuted in China with a €420/$475 starting price, Xiaomi 11T Pro costs €600/$680 in the EU, and it is currently easy to find the Samsung Galaxy S21+ 5G for €800/$906. There is not a definitive winner of this comparison, but the Motorola Edge X30 looks a bit more interesting due to its better chipset, great cameras, amazing display, and a big battery.

Motorola released the world’s first flagship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 three days ago and it is already a huge success. During the first sales, 10.000 units have been sold in less than three minutes. But the Motorola Edge X30 is not the only amazing flagship available in its price range. Despite it coming with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the Motorola Edge X30 is not a top-tier flagship. That is why a lot of people are wondering whether they should opt for the new flagship due to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor or they should consider an older top-tier flagship but with an inferior chipset. This comparison between Motorola Edge X30, OnePlus 9 Pro, and Vivo X70 Pro+ tries to answer this question.

Motorola Edge X30 vs OnePlus 9 Pro vs Vivo X70 Pro+

Design

If we exclude the amazing leather variant of the Vivo X70 Pro Plus, I personally prefer the design of the OnePlus 9 Pro. First of all, it is the most compact phone. Further, it has a curved screen at the edges and a minimalistic camera module on the back. The rear is made of glass and the profile is made of aluminum. OnePlus 9 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, just like the Vivo X70 Pro+, while the Motorola Edge X30 is just water repellent. The Motorola Edge X30 takes the last place, it does not have a curved screen and it is built with fewer premium materials.

Display

Despite the Motorola Edge X30 featuring the highest refresh rate with 144 Hz, it does not offer the best display. The OnePlus 9 Pro and the Vivo X70 Pro+ have better panels with a higher Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels and 1440 x 3216 pixels, respectively. They show up to one billion colors with the HDR10+ certification and diagonals of 6.7 and 6.78 inches, respectively. Unlike the Motorola Edge X30 coming with a side-mounted fingerprint reader, the OnePlus 9 Pro and the Vivo X70 Pro Plus have in-display fingerprint readers.

Specs & Software

The most advanced hardware department is guaranteed by the Motorola Edge X30 as it features the best Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform. Currently, the Motorola Edge X30 is the most powerful out there and it will be soon joined by Realme GT 2 Pro and Xiaomi 12. Alongside the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, there are up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. The silver medal goes to the Vivo X70 Pro+ fueled by a Snapdragon 888+ mobile platform, but the OnePlus 9 Pro is closer with its Snapdragon 888.

Camera

If you are looking for the best and most versatile camera setup, then you should go for the Vivo X70 Pro+ without thinking twice. It has a 50 MP main sensor with OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, a 48 MP ultrawide camera with gimbal OIS, and a 12 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. The Motorola Edge X30 wins the front camera comparison with a 60 MP snapper supporting 4K video recording.

Battery

The Motorola Edge X30 is the king of battery life because it features a bigger 5000 mAh battery. But unlike the Vivo X70 Pro+ and the OnePlus 9 Pro, it lacks wireless charging.

Price

Motorola Edge X30 starts from €420/$472 in China, just a half of the prices of the Vivo X70 Pro+ and the OnePlus 9 Pro. The Edge X30 is definitely inferior overall because its rivals offer better displays and cameras, but it provides higher performance and longer battery life, which is the reason why its value for money is very high.

Last week, Motorola officially launched the Moto Edge X30 flagship smartphone in the Chinese market, making it the first phone in the world to come powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

Motorola surprised everyone by launching the world’s first phone fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform: the Motorola Edge X30. Besides being equipped with the best processor in the Android market, it is even a flagship killer and it hitten the shelves with a modest price tag. But is it the best value for money flagship or you can actually find something better? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing it to other mainstream flagship killers. After comparing the Motorola Edge X30 to the lower-end Motorola Edge S30, here is a comparison with the recent Xiaomi 11T Pro and OnePlus 9RT 5G.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Xiaomi 11T Pro vs OnePlus 9RT

Design

If you are looking for the design with the most premium materials, then you should choose the Xiaomi 11T Pro. It has a glass back, an aluminum frame, and a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. Besides having a more premium design, it is even more resistant thanks to Gorilla Glass Victus and the IP53 certification which indicates that the phone is dust resistant and splash resistant. The Motorola Edge X30 comes right after with its glass back and water-repellent design, but the OnePlus 9RT 5G is actually the most compact and the thinnest handset because it has a smaller display and a smaller battery.

Display

On the paper, the most advanced display belongs to the Xiaomi 11T Pro. It has an AMOLED panel by Samsung with a diagonal of 6.67 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, one billion colors, a 120 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and the HDR10+ certification. The phone is also equipped with stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon. Right after, we got the Motorola Edge X30 packing a 6.7-inch OLED display with one billion colors, a (higher!) 144 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution, and the HDR10+ certification. The OnePlus 9RT 5G comes with an AMOLED screen as well, but it displays a max of 16 million colors. On the other hand, it is the only one with an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

With the Motorola Edge X30, you can get the most powerful hardware department in the whole smartphone market. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform offering a solid improvement in performance if compared to the Snapdragon 888, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both Xiaomi 11T Pro and OnePlus 9RT 5G are fueled by the Snapdragon 888 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage. The Motorola Edge X30 runs Android 12 out of the box, while its rivals are still based on Android 11.

Camera

The Motorola Edge X30 offers a way more interesting camera setup. It has a 50 MP main camera with OIS, a 50 MP secondary ultrawide camera, a 2 MP depth sensor, and an amazing 60 MP front camera. The Motorola Edge X30 Special Edition has an under-display selfie snapper. The silver medal goes to the OnePlus 9RT 5G and its 50 MP main camera with OIS paired with a 16 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera.

Battery

Motorola Edge X30 should provide the longest battery life due to its 5000 mAh battery and its efficient mobile platform, followed by the Xiaomi 11T Pro. But the latter supports a faster charging technology with a power of 120W.

Price

You need just €420/$475 to purchase the Motorola Edge X30 in China, while the OnePlus 9RT 5G starts from €440/$517. The Motorola Edge X30 wins the comparison thanks to its better chipset and cameras: we believe it currently offers a higher value for money.

Motorola Edge X30 vs Motorola Edge S30

Design

Motorola Edge X30 and Edge S30 debuted with attractive and water-repellent designs. They do not have an IP certification, but they still offer protection against water. The Motorola Edge X30 is built with more premium materials as it comes with a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and making it more elegant, while the Motorola Edge S30 is entirely made of polycarbonate with the exception of the front glass. The Motorola Edge X30 is thinner and lighter than Edge S30, and it is even more compact thanks to the presence of a smaller display with a higher screen to body ratio. The fingerprint readers of these handsets are side-mounted.

Display

One of the most important advantages of the Motorola Edge X30,(even more important than the processor) is the display. While the Edge S30 offers a disappointing IPS panel, the Edge X30 has an OLED display that can show up to one billion colors with a 144 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10+ certification. With a diagonal of 6.8 inches, the Edge S30 has a wider display, but it is an inferior LCD panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate and the HDR10 certification. With the Motorola Edge X30, you actually get a higher image quality under every aspect. Further, it is equipped with stereo speakers, while the Edge S30 has a mono speaker. This is an important difference when it comes to multimedia and music listening.

Specs & Software

The best memory configuration of these two devices is the same: 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage; what changes is the processor. The Motorola Edge X30 has the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that is currently the most advanced mobile platform in the Android market, while the Edge S30 has the predecessor Snapdragon 888+. Even though the Edge S30 has an inferior processor, most of the users won’t notice the difference because in both cases we are talking about two of the best processors out there. Note that the Edge X30 runs Android 12, while the Edge S30 is still based on Android 11.

Camera

There is no challenge: the Motorola Edge X30 is way better than Edge S30 if we talk about the cameras. It is equipped with a main 50 MP camera with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. The Edge S30 has the same 2 MP depth sensor, but the remaining cameras are inferior: a 108 MP main sensor without OIS and a 13 MP ultrawide sensor. Last but not least, the Edge X30 is one of the best selfie phones thanks to a great 60 MP front snapper.

Battery

Both Motorola Edge X30 and Edge S30 feature a 5000 mAh battery, but the former will most likely provide a longer battery life in every scenario because its display and its processor are more efficient and they consume less energy. Further, the Edge X30 has a faster 68W charging technology.

Price

The starting price of the Motorola Edge X30 in the Chinese market roughly translates into €420/$475, while the Edge S30 starts from €280/$317 in China. Motorola still did not announce when these handsets will make their way outside China. Overall, the Edge X30 is a much better device due to a superior display, better chipset, great cameras, and faster charging. It is definitely worth spending more on it.

Chen Jin claims that the aluminum alloy frame allows the device to offer a thermal conductivity of 130W/mK. He further added that the smartphone also feature Corning’s Gorilla Glass on the front and back for protection, while the AG Glass process also allows it to offer a great hand feel as well.

Talking about the device, the Moto Edge X30 features the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, along with 50 megapixel triple camera module on the rear. On the front, sports a 6.8 inch display that offers 144Hz high refresh rate and up to 576Hz touch sampling rate.

Chen Jin stated that improvements in performance arrives at a time where VR technology is becoming more popular and the world is shifting towards the metaverse.

We are heading to the last month of this year which also brings us closer to the festive season. In December, there are phone launches from top Chinese smartphone brands thanks to the vouch of the availability of the recently announced Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. That said, there will be more mid-range phones coming out than budget-centric phones. Some of the confirmed and rumoured phone launches are from brands like Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, Redmi, and Micromax.

1. Motorola Edge X30(Edge 30 Ultra) 

Motorola is expected to launch one of the worlds first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered flagship smartphones. Reportedly, the company will launch a device dubbed Motorola Edge X30(a.k.a Edge 30 Ultra) on December 9. The company on its social media handle has confirmed its arrival. Although there are only a few days left for its release, there’s still not much to learn about its specs.

So far we know that it could feature a 6.67-inch screen with a 144Hz AMOLED display. It is expected to have great cameras with a 50MP + 50MP + 2MP triple rear camera setup and a single 60MP selfie lens.

2. Xiaomi 12

Next up we have the upcoming Xiaomi 12 which will be another Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered device. The smartphone is rumoured to launch on December 12 booting with the new MIUI 13 software skin.

A recent report revealed that the smartphone will come with a triple camera system at the rear and will have an AG Glass body. The phone is expected to have a 50MP primary lens. Our exclusive screen protector leak of the Pro variant confirmed that the device may have a punch-hole screen with thinner bezels.

3. OnePlus RT 

OnePlus RT a.k.a the OnePlus 9RT has been in the news for a long time. The smartphone is already available in the Chinese market selling with the moniker 9RT, however, the phone will debut as the OnePlus RT in the Indian region.

Unfortunately, the Indian launch date of the device is yet to be known but since many details are known, we expect it to debut soon. What we know is that the OnePlus RT may come at a starting price of Rs. 39,999 and will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC.

4. Redmi K50 series

Xiaomi’s Redmi is expected to launch the Redmi K50 series in the Chinese market. However, the exact date is unconfirmed. But, the leaks have taken over the internet and revealed plenty of the series’ details.

The Redmi K50 is expected to come with four different chipsets like the Snapdragon 870(a mid-range model), Snapdragon 8 Gen 1(flagship model), Dimensity 7000, and Dimensity 9000(game-centric model). All the phones in the series will boot on the upcoming MIUI 13 and are expected to debut by the end of this month. Later, these models could launch globally with different monikers.

5. Realme Narzo 50A Prime, Realme C35

Realme has been quiet for the last couple of weeks and that could mean that the company was working on a few phones under wraps. Recently, the company touted that it will soon launch a premium flagship smartphone and it was later revealed to be the successor of the Realme GT, the Realme GT 2 Pro.

Anyway, this premium flagship is nowhere to be expected to launch this month as the phone is yet to pass plenty of certifications before it releases. What could arrive are two budget-centric phones – the Realme Narzo 50A Prime and Realme C35.

Both the Narzo 50A Prime and the C35 will supposedly be the extensions of the 50 series and C-series respectively. That said, expect entry-level specs with big batteries as the key feature.

6. Xiaomi 11i, Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge

Xiaomi recently launched the Redmi Note 11T 5G in India and it looks like another Note 11 series phone may land in the market but with a different moniker. Xiaomi is expected to bring the China-exclusive Redmi Note 11 Pro+ in India with the moniker Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge.

The Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge is expected to bring a whopping 120W fast charging support and a 6.67-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is expected to come powered by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity SoC. The Xiaomi 11i, on the other hand, is expected to be another device with some downgraded specs sheet over the HyperCharge model.

7. Moto G200 

The Snapdragon 888+ powered Moto G200 5G is expected to land in India after its initial European release. The flagship phone is expected to come at an aggressive price in the region. The exact launch date is yet to be known but it is touted to debut this month itself.

The Motorola G200 comes with a 6.8-inch punch-hole LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Its major highlight is the 108MP triple rear camera system which is accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP depth sensor.

8. Micromax Budget phone

Indian phone maker Micromax on its Twitter handle confirmed that it will launch a new smartphone soon. Netizens expect that the new phone may debut this month itself. This device could be the Micromax In Note 1 Pro which recently passed a few certifications.

The Micromax In Note 1 Pro is powered by the MediaTek MT6785 SoC a.k.a the Helio G90 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. The phone is expected to bring major improvements over the vanilla In Note 1. It is expected to have a big battery with fast charging support. It may come with improvement cameras.
