Today is without a doubt Samsung’s big day, but after getting a little bit of attention at the beginning of the week (emphasis on “little”) with an official Edge 30 Pro teaser, Motorola is (inadvertently) stealing some more of the Galaxy S22 family’s thunder with help from none other than Evan Blass.
While the official marketing labels of all these unreleased and unannounced handsets are left up in the air by Blass, the same is actually not true for their cryptic codenames, which should make it a little easier to discover more information about the “Hawaii+”, “Dubai”, “Rogue”, “Rhode”, and “Austin” down the line. For the time being, the following images are pretty much all we have.
At least three high-enders on the horizon
Motorola Hawaii+
Motorola Rogue
That’s a lot of high-end devices for just one year, and knowing Motorola, we wouldn’t be surprised if there were actually even more in the pipeline.
The Hawaii+, Dubai, and Rogue will apparently share a 50MP primary shooter, further adding to the inherent confusion surrounding this far too extensive product portfolio. Interestingly, the triple rear-facing camera modules all look different, and while the Hawaii+ and Dubai are set to adopt a centered hole punch, the Rogue is tipped to go with an under-display selfie camera in order to move one step closer to the totally bezelless dream.

Motorola is not ignoring the mid-range segment either
Although the Motorola “Rhode” doesn’t look all that different from the aforementioned (and aforepictured) “Dubai”, the fact that there are both 5G-enabled and 4G LTE-only variants in the works suggests this thing will probably occupy a lower place on the brand’s (and the market’s) food chain.

Finally, the Motorola “Austin” is definitely the humblest of the five phones leaked today, with a 50MP Quad Pixel camera in tow of its own, but a way less attractive design including a centered hole punch, a relatively thick top bezel, and an absolutely massive “chin.”

Intriguingly, there’s a good chance this onslaught of new Motorola devices will either be unveiled or commercially released at once on April 3, although dates shown in leaked press renders are obviously not always 100 percent reliable.
