If you didn’t know, Motorola was the first brand to launch a phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SOC last year. The phone was Moto X30, and it launched initially in the Chinese market. Since the Snapdragon summit is taking place this month, everyone is curious to know which brand would be the first to launch a phone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SOC.
Well, it seems like Motorola wants to be one of the first, if not the first. That’s because an upcoming Motorola flagship has been spotted on TENAA, reportedly with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. This could be the successor of the X30, i.e., the Moto X40.
The TENAA listing showed the design of the phone, and as we can see, the back has a matte finish, and the camera module has a glossy finish. There is a square-shaped camera module with three camera sensors. The camera module says “50MP,” so at least one of the camera sensors has a 50MP sensor. It also looks like the display has curved sides, which wasn’t the case with Moto X30. The model number of this phone is “XT2301-5”. Since the Moto X30 had the model number – ‘XT2201-2’ / ‘XT2201-6’, it makes sense if this upcoming flagship launches under the Moto X series.
Speaking of the specifications, this phone has a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ OLED display with 10-bit color depth, a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and 12MP telephoto. There is a 4,950mAh battery with 68W fast charging. The weight is around 196g, and the thickness is 8.5mm. TENNA listing reveals the CPU clock speed as 3.0GHz, so we are not 100% sure if this is indeed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
