Back in early December Motorola took the wraps off the Edge X30 flagship for the Chinese market, launching it as the first phone to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. In the meantime, it has been rumored to make the jump to global markets (including India) under a different name: Motorola Edge 30 Pro.
Now a new rumor from a usually reliable tipster claims the device will be announced for India and other international markets at some point in February. Interestingly – or rather, weirdly – enough, it could have a different name in India. So it would go as Edge X30 in China, Edge 30 Pro in most global markets, and something else in India. That’s… an interesting strategy for sure.
The global Edge 30 Pro could have more color options than the China-only Edge X30, which only comes in black and white.
Whenever the launch finally occurs, expect the global handset to sport a 6.7-inch 1080×2400 144 Hz OLED touchscreen, 8/12GB of RAM, 128/256GB of storage, a triple rear camera system (50 MP main with OIS, 50 MP ultrawide, 2 MP depth sensor), a 60 MP selfie cam (which may or may not be of the under-display variety), and a 5,000 mAh battery with 68W fast charging (zero to 100% promised in 35 minutes). It should run Android 12 from day one.
