INDIA: Motorola has finally confirmed that the Moto X40 will be available for purchase on December 15 after numerous teasers and leaks. Motorola has reportedly confirmed the launch date in a post on a blog site.
The upcoming Moto X40 will be the company’s first smartphone with Qualcomm’s most recent Snapdragon 8 Gen-2 chipset.
Via several teaser posters, Motorola has revealed the phone’s Snapdragon 8 Gen-2 chipset, 4600mAh battery with 125W fast-charging support, and Android 13-based MyUI 5.0. The phone is rated IP68 for water and dust resistance.
There will be two versions of the phone: one with 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage and the other with 12GB RAM and 256GB of storage.
The display has a rounded edge, as shown by the shared posters. There are three cameras on the back, one of which is a 50MP primary camera.
A punch hole in the center of the screen on the front houses the phone’s selfie camera. Along with a 50MP primary camera, the rear camera setup may include a 12-megapixel telephoto lens and an ultrawide angle lens with 50 megapixels.
