Motorola is preparing to unleash the Moto Edge X powered by Qualcomm’s forthcoming flagship chipset in December. While the rumor mill has been calling the chipset the Snapdragon 898 SoC, a new report that came out today has claimed that the USA-based chip maker will announce it with the “Snapdragon 8 Gen1” name.
As per reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, the Lenovo-owned company is planning to launch dual flagships in China in December. These models are expected to be powered by an existing Snapdragon 8-Series chip and the next-generation 8-Series SoC.
The tipster claimed that in a bid to launch dual flagship phones, Motorola will also announce a phone powered by the Snapdragon 888+ chipset. The chipset has powered some notable flagship devices such as the iQOO 8 Pro, Vivo X70 Pro+, Red Magic 6S Pro, ROG Phone 5S, Honor Magic 3 Pro, and the Meizu 18s.
As it is known, the Snapdragon 888 Plus is an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 888 chipset.
The tipster has not shared any information on the specs of the upcoming Snapdragon 888+ powered flagship device. Considering that the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 powered Motorola flagship will carry the Moto Edge X moniker, it is likely that the Snapdragon 888+ could also arrive as an Edge series phone. He added that this device will carry a low price.
Reports have revealed that the Edge X will have a 6.67″ OLED FHD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate, up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 5,000mAh battery that supports 68W fast charging.
It will come pre-installed with MyUX based Android 11. The Edge X may feature a 60MP front-facing camera. Its back panel may house a 50MP+50MP+2MO triple-camera unit.
This model is speculated to debut with the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra moniker in Europe in January.
