Last Updated on November 9, 2021 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

Motorola had launched the Moto Edge S Pro and Moto Edge Lite handsets in China a few months ago. Now, the company is gearing up to launch another Edge series smartphone. Lenovo Mobile Division General Manager, Chen Jin, took it to the Chinese social networking website Weibo to share a teaser of the upcoming launch. The teaser shared shows an ‘X’ which confirms that the upcoming handset will be called Moto Edge X. Mr. Chen further claimed that the upcoming handset will offer powerful performance and will meet users’ expectations.

Rumours surrounding the upcoming Moto handset have been floating on the web for the past few days. If rumours are to be believed, the Moto Edge could come equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 processor that is expected to be announced later this month. To those unaware, Snapdragon 898 is expected to be announced during the Snapdragon Tech Summit 2021 which is scheduled from November 30 to December 2, 2021.

There is a good chance that Motorola uses Qualcomm’s current-gen top-tier silicon—Snapdragon 888—on the upcoming smartphone. To those unaware, even a year after the announcement, Moto doesn’t have a Snapdragon 888 powered smartphone under its portfolio yet.

Unfortunately, Moto decided not to reveal anything else about the upcoming handset. However, we hope that the company will reveal key specifications and features of the upcoming smartphone via more teasers. The Moto Edge X might come with a 144Hz refresh rate AMOLED display.

Recently, a Motorola smartphone with model number XT2201-2 made an appearance on China’s CCC certification website. It could be the upcoming Moto Edge X. The certification website revealed that the upcoming Moto handset will support 68.2W fast charging. The phone is expected to feature a 108MP camera and 4,500mAh battery. We will have to wait for more teasers to learn more about the upcoming Moto Edge X.
