Motorola is gearing up to launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Moto X40. The device will compete with other upcoming SD8G2 flagship phones like the Xiaomi 13 series, OnePlus 11, iQOO 11 series, and Vivo X90 lineup. The 3C authority in China is said to have certified the device, and now the TENAA telecom authority has given it the green light (via. TechGoing). Hence, these certifications suggest that X40 may indeed launch this year.

The Moto X40 can be seen flaunting an OLED punch-hole screen with curved edges. Rumors are rife that the screen will support a 165Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. The volume buttons and a power key are available on the right side of the X40.

The screen seems to be embedded with a fingerprint sensor.  It is speculated that the device will come equipped with a 60-megapixel camera for snapping selfies.

The square-shaped camera module available on the Moto X40’s back houses three cameras and an LED flash. The camera setup is said to be headlined by a 50-megapixel camera. It will be paired by a 12-megapixel telephoto camera and another 50-megapixel camera that will be capable at capturing ultra-wide as well as macro shots.

The matte appearance of the phone’s back suggests that it may sport a leather finish. The Moto batwing logo is placed towards the center of the back panel.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Moto X40 is expected to arrive in 8 GB and 12 GB RAM variants. The device is expected to support 68W fast charging. The next-generation Motorola flagship is likely to run on Android 13 OS. At present, there is no word on the price of the X40. As far as the launch is concerned, it may go official in November or December of this year. The same device is expected to be released with the “Motorola Edge 40 Pro” moniker in the global market.
