Of course, you’ll have to wait a little to actually check out Qualcomm’s hot new ultra-high-end processor in action inside a commercial Moto X40 unit, especially if you don’t live in China. Regional sales in the world’s largest smartphone market are only scheduled to kick off next Thursday, December 22, presumably followed by a global expansion under a couple of other names at some point during the first quarter of 2023.
Moto X40 – key strengths, features, and selling points
Interestingly, Motorola (or should we say “Lenovorola”?) continues to sit out the screen resolution wars, equipping the 6.7-inch OLED X40 with a fairly modest (by flagship standards, at least) 2400 x 1080 pixel count. On the bright side, the undoubtedly gorgeous panel does promise to get incredibly bright and accurate at showing no less than a billion colors (just like the aforementioned ROG Phone 6 Pro).
Other specs and an irresistible pricing structure
Around the front, the 60MP single selfie snapper sounds largely unchanged from what the X30 provides in that department as well, while an IP68 water and dust-resistant glass body, 15W wireless charging support, and up to 12 gigs of RAM paired with as much as 512GB internal storage space complete a spec sheet that doesn’t really have many important things lacking.
