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.

The post Motorola teases a phone with 200MP camera launching in July appeared first on Gizmochina.

Motorola has confirmed that it will be holding a launch event on May 10 in China. The poster released by the brand has no information on the devices that will be announced in the coming week. Recently, the Moto G82 was spotted at the TENAA certification platform with all its specifications. In addition, the company is working on its premium flagship that has a “Frontier” codename. It is unclear whether any of these devices will be unveiled on May 10.

The Lenovo-owned brand has revealed it will be unveiling “something big, something new” on May 10. Hopefully, the company will confirm more details about its upcoming launch event in the next few days.

The Frontier flagship is rumored to come with specs such as a 200-megapixel primary camera and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chipset. It is expected to launch as an Edge branded phone in China, while it is likely to debut in the global markets with the Edge 30 Ultra moniker. However, it seems too early for the phone to go official on May 10 since Qualcomm is yet to announce the SDG1+ chip.

The Motorola Frontier is expected to arrive with specs like a 6.73-ich pOLED FHD+ 144Hz screen with an in-screen fingerprint scanner, a 60-megapixel front camera, and a 200-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide) + 12-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera setup.

The post Motorola’s next launch event is on May 10; Frontier flagship with SD8G1+ expected appeared first on Gizmochina.

Several reports have claimed in the past that Motorola is working on a flagship phone with the “Frontier” codename. It is expected to arrive with two major features. The first one is that it could feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus mobile platform and the second one is that it may come with a 200-megapixel camera. Lenovo China’s General Manager for the Mobile Phone Business department has been teasing its arrival since the past few months. It appears that the executive may have once again teased its arrival.

In the screenshot shown below, Chen Jin can be seen using an unknown Motorola phone on Weibo. It is being speculated that he could be hinting at the arrival of a new Motorola flagship, probably, the Frontier phone featuring the SD8G1+ chip.

Another highlight of this phone is that it may arrive with support for 125W. In March, Jin had showcased an image of a 125W charger, which hinted that the arrival of the Motorola Frontier is not far away. The new Weibo also suggests the same.

The Motorola Frontier is most likely to be announced after Qualcomm unveils the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. It is speculated that the US-based chipmaker will announce the SD8G1+ by early May. The company is also expected to launch the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset alongside it.

As far as configurations are concerned, the SD8G1+ chip is expected to feature Cortex-X2 core, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 cores. It may also include the Adreno 730 GPU. It will be a 4nm chip manufactured by TSMC. As far as Motorola Frontier’s launch is concerned, the company is speculated to unveil it in June. It is expected to arrive with key specs such as a 6.7-inch POLED FHD+ 144Hz display, 200-megapixel + 50-megapixel + 12-megapixel triple rear cameras, a 60-megapixel front camera, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with 125W wired / 50W wireless charging support. This phone is likely to launch with the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra moniker in global markets.

The post Motorola’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ flagship seemingly hinted again appeared first on Gizmochina.

Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus (SM8475 part number) by early June 2022. It could be an overclocked version of the existing Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. Rumors have it that an upcoming Motorola flagship, with ‘Frontier’ codename, could be the world’s first phone to feature the SD8G1. Today, a Weibo user  (via) shared a live image of the Motorola Frontier flagship to reveal the appearance of its camera module.

The leaked image shows the Motorola Frontier’s rear shell has curved edges. The camera module of the device appears similar to the Xiaomi 12 series. As can be seen, the camera module has a main camera on top, and below it are the two other camera sensors.

The edge of the camera module has an LED flash strip and ‘200MP HP1 OS f/2.2″ text imprinted. Motorola’s batwing logo can also be seen on the backside of the device. Its right side has a volume rocker and a power key. The authenticity of the leaked image is doubtful. Hence, it is advisable to digest the leak with a pinch of salt.

Initial reports of the Motorola Frontier flagship claimed that it had a 200MP main camera. In February, reliable tipster Evan Blass released a render of the Motorola Frontier, which revealed a 194MP primary camera. The leaked image that appeared to surface today matches with Blass’ leaked render. However, the only noticeable difference is that it has the 194MP | OIS 1/15″ text imprinted in the camera module.

Motorola Frontier specifications (rumored)

The Motorola Frontier will feature a 6.73-inch P-OLED FHD+ 144Hz display. It will be powered by the SD8G1+ chip, up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with 125W fast charging support.

For photography, it will feature a 60-megapixel front camera and a 194-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultrawide) + 12-megapixel (telephoto) triple camera unit.

Earlier today, a Lenovo executive teased a 125W Motorola charger. This power adapter is expected to ship with an upcoming high-end smartphone from the company codenamed ‘Frontier’. In response to this teaser, a reliable Chinese tipster has now shed some details on this phone and yet another handset.

According to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the Lenovo group is gearing up to launch two new premium smartphones powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon SM8475 chipset (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 manufactured by TSMC). One of them will be released under the Motorola brand, while the other one will bear Lenovo Legion branding.

The Motorola model will flaunt a 6.67-inch FHD+ curved OLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate and a single punch-hole. It will house a 194MP primary rear camera measuring 1/1.5″ in size and a 60MP front-facing camera. Finally, it will support 150W fast wired charging and either 30W or 50W fast wireless charging. Going by the specs, the tipster is clearly referring to it as the rumored Motorola Frontier.

On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion model will also sport a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate and a single punch-hole. However, the panel will be flat instead of curved. Further, it will have a 50MP main camera on the rear and a 16MP selfie camera. Lastly, it will draw power from a 5,000mAh battery and will come with 68W fast wired charging support.

We are looking forward to learning more about these phones as the company has officially started teasing them. Perhaps, we may finally learn their launch date soon.

A lot of things happened last week in the world of technology. For instance, the first gaming smartphones of 2022 made their debut, Microsoft finally brought Android apps to Windows, Google announced Chrome OS Flex, and many more.

We have compiled all these and other important stories from last week in this article as part of our weekly roundup series. Let’s go through them only by one.

As always, we would like to inform you that the stories featured here are based on our opinion and they are listed in no particular order. As your stance may vary, we would like to know your top picks in the comment section at the end of this post.

Top Stories from Last Week

Redmi K50G – A gaming smartphone like no other

On February 16, the Redmi K50G went official in China as the first device in the Redmi K50 series. The gaming smartphone is the successor of last year’s Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. It not only comes with a new branding but also updated specs for a starting price of ¥3299 ($521).

The handset is unlike any other gaming smartphone in the market. It features a subtle design instead of being flashy. There’s also a Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team Edition of this phone.

The Redmi K50G offers features like a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, liquid cooling system, magnetic shoulder buttons, quad speakers, x-axis linear vibration motor, three WiFi antennas, 64MP + 8MP + 2MP triple camera setup, 20MP selfie camera, 4,700mAh battery, and 120W fast charging.

The handset was also accompanied by Redmi’s first gaming router dubbed as Redmi Router AX5400.

REDMAGIC 7 Series – Gaming smartphones with all bells and whistles

The REDMAGIC 7 series includes two models, namely REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro. The duo was unveiled on February 17. The specs of these phones are nearly identical, except for a few additional features on the Pro.

They come with a 6.8-inch FHD+ 165Hz OLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, liquid cooling system, cooling fan, 4,500mAh battery, and 120W fast charging. On the other hand, the Pro model arrives with a dedicated in-house gaming chipset called Red Core 1, an under-display camera, and up to 135W fast charging.

The REDMAGIC 7 and REDMAGIC 7 Pro start at ¥3,899 ($616) and ¥4,799 ($758) respectively. Apart from regular colors, they also come in a transparent edition.

Nothing teases entry into the smartphone category

Carl Pei’s Nothing may soon enter the smartphone category. Cryptic tweets by the executive and the official Android and Snapdragon handles on February 16 hint at an imminent announcement.

So far, the year-old company has one product in its portfolio in the form of Nothing ear (1), a critically acclaimed pair of truly wireless earphones. Other than a smartphone, it is also being rumored to release a power bank called Nothing power (1).

Probably, the firm may reveal more details at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2022, which is scheduled to kickstart on February 28.

HONOR ranked second in China in Q4 2021

Within a year from being sold by HUAWEI to Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd., HONOR’s smartphone shipments reached the second position in its home market China in Q4 2021.

The brand was only second to Apple with a 16.7% market share as compared to 7.5% a year earlier. Though the iPhone maker had a 21.7% share in the final quarter of last year, it only grew 13% YoY, while HONOR’s growth skyrocketed by a 100% YoY.

The HONOR Magic3 was also the most-shipped premium Android smartphone during this period.

realme 9 Pro series brings flagship camera to mid-range

After teasing for days, the realme 9 Pro series made its debut on February 16 at last. The most interesting of the two phones is definitely the realme 9 Pro+.

 The Pro+ looks like a budget smartphone with a huge chin and a 90Hz AMOLED display. But it comes with a flagship 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, which gives tough competition to almost every handset in the segment and above.

The device starts at ₹24,999 for the base 6GB + 128GB memory configuration in India. The brand is also expected to release a Free Fire Limited Edition soon. But its availability in India is a mystery as the mobile game was recently banned in the country by the central government.

Chrome OS Flex makes your old PCs and Macs useful

Chrome OS Flex is nothing but an official Google release of Cloudready whose developer Neverware was acquired by the search giant in December 2020.

With Google at the helm, this fork of Chrome OS designed to run on Windows and Mac could get popular once it releases to the public after the early access. The Mountain View-based tech giant claims that the operating system can be installed on devices that are up to 13 years old.

Though it doesn’t offer all the features of the regular Chrome OS at the moment, it is more than enough to make an old laptop or desktop with less powerful hardware useful.

Possible Pixel 7 series appear in Android 13 code

With the release of Android 13 Developer Preview 1, details of the next-generation Pixels have started emerging. According to a report by 9to5Google, the upcoming Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are codenamed Cheetah and Panther respectively.

They will be powered by a new Tensor chip codenamed Cloudripper. Carrying model number GS201, this SoC will likely arrive with an Exynos Modem 5300 with model number g5300b.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information available regarding the successors of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

Windows 11 users can now use Android apps natively

Microsoft finally brings Android apps support for Windows 11 in the stable channel. Once updated to build 22000.526, users will be able to install a limited number of Android applications from the Amazon App Store.

Unfortunately, the feature is currently limited to the United States. It should be available in more regions in the coming days.

ColorOS hits 500 million users globally

OPPO’s ColorOS has come a long way since its inception. The once hated Android skin by international critics has now become one of the most preferred ones.

At the same time, with the entry of the company into new markets, its shipments are in increasing trend. Hence, it is not surprising to learn that the monthly active users of ColorOS have exceeded 500 million globally.

The number could go even high if OnePlus also switches to ColorOS in international markets.

Motorola Frontier – An upcoming smartphone with a 194MP camera

Motorola is soon expected to release a high-end smartphone codenamed Frontier. Last week, we got to see this phone in a high-quality image in almost all the angles.

The device is rumored to come with a 194MP Samsung S5KHP1 primary camera, a 5MP Samsung SKJN1SQ03 ultra-wide camera, a 12MPl Sony IMX663 telephoto camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ SoC, and a 6.7-inch curved OLED display.

Foldable smartphone shipments increased by 264.3% in 2021

Last week, a report by IDC revealed that the shipments of foldable smartphones totaled 7.1 million units in 2021. For comparison, the number was only 1.9 million in 2020.

In other words, the foldable smartphone market grew by a whopping 264.3% YoY. The market research company forecasts the growth to hit a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 69.9% by 2025.

Motorola looks to be making its debut in the ultra-premium smartphone space with a new device codenamed ‘Frontier.’ We pushed a story last month on the Frontier’s first-ever but not-so-clear renders. But fast forward to now, and we have gotten an actual HD look at the phone, courtesy of leakster Evan Blass.

The leaked image shows the Motorola Frontier from all angles in a lustrous, metallic grey color — although we are pretty sure that the material is actually glass, as with literally every premium smartphone in the market today.

Upfront, there is a curved display with extremely narrow bezels all around and a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. Previous leaks had indicated that the panel would be sized 6.7-inches.

But it’s the rear of the phone that’s the true attention-puller, thanks to its extremely large primary camera. The unit has been revealed to sport a resolution of 194-megapixels, which is easily the highest in the industry. Said sensor is expected to be the ‘S5KHP1,’ manufactured by Samsung.

The primary snapper is joined by a couple of additional lenses, taking the total rear camera count to three. These supporting units were leaked to be 50-megapixel Samsung SKJN1SQ03 ultrawide and 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 telephoto cameras.

Moving on to the Frontier’s processor, the older report claims that the Motorola Frontier will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s successor of sorts, which has a model number of SM8475. The same chip will allegedly also be powering a “derivative” model of the Xiaomi 12 Pro.

As for release, the Motorola Frontier may still be a couple of months or so away considering it’s yet to make an appearance on certification websites.

For selfies, the device is said to feature the same 60MP sensor found in the Moto Edge X30 devices.

The device is said to house an enhanced version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC which will be launching with the codename SM8475 and could be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 “Plus” variant. The device will offer up to 12GB of RAM (LPDDR5) and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. it will run Android 12 out of the box and will come with a 4500 mAh battery with 125 watts fast charging support. The device might also offer 50W wireless charging support.

Other features include Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2, dual SIM support, and a fingerprint scanner under or inside the display.  At present, there is no word on the launch date and final marketing name of the Motorola Frontier 22.
