Confirmed: Moto X40 specifications to include Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, LPDDR5X RAM

Motorola recently launched its Edge 30 series phones in India. The company typically launches its Edge lineup as the Moto X series in China. Thus, it will launch in China as the Moto X40 series later this year. The General Manager of Lenovo China Mobile, Chen Jin, has teased the Moto X40’s debut in China and tipped its crucial specifications.

The Moto X40 will come with an upgraded flagship SoC over its predecessor, the MotoX30. To recall, the Moto X30 launched in December 2021 as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered phone. Let’s look at what we can expect from the Moto X40.
