Last year in December, we got the Moto Edge X30 by Motorola, which launched as the world’s first phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SOC. So far, that phone has not launched outside of the Chinese market, but it is expected to launch outside China soon. Now, the phone has bagged BIS certification, and if you do not know, BIS stands for the ‘Bureau of Indian Standards. All the devices need to be BIS certified before they are launched in India, so this suggests that the launch is happening soon.
As we know, the Moto Edge X30 has a 6.7-inch OLED with a Full-HD+ resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. There is a big 5,000mAh battery with support for 68W fast charging. Under the hood, the phone has Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, and it is paired with 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM along with 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The triple camera setup on the back includes a primary camera with the 1/1.55-inch 50MP OV50A sensor and OIS. For ultrawide photos, there is another 50 Megapixel sensor (ISOCELL S5KGM1). Finally, the third camera is a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, Moto Edge X30 has a 60-megapixel camera. Finally, Android 12 runs out of the box.
Now, in China, Motorola launched two versions of this phone. One had a hole punch on the front for the selfie camera, whereas the other had an in-display selfie camera. We do not know whether both the variants are coming to India or only the one with a hole punch cutout.
Anyways, in China, Moto Edge X30 launched at ¥3199, which translates roughly to around ₹37,000. So, if the phone launches in India, expect its price to be somewhere around ₹40,000.
