It’s not just Oppo who’s launching its Find X5 flagship series today, Motorola has also taken its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered Edge X30 smartphone to global frontiers. The Lenovo-owned company has rebranded the Edge X30, launched in China last year, to Moto Edge 30 Pro for the global markets. That said, let’s look at the specs before moving on to the price and availability details.
Though the company launched two variants of its flagship phone in China, the under-display selfie camera variant has not found its way to the global markets. Still, one of the highlights of the Moto Edge 30 Pro is the 60MP (f/2.2) punch-hole selfie camera on the front.
Under the hood, the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset from Qualcomm powers the Moto Edge 30 Pro. You will also find up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage (a step up from the Chinese variant). It runs near-stock Android 12 with Motorola’s My UX 3.0 skin on top. The device supports “Ready For,” which allows you to mirror the phone to an external device, like a TV or desktop display with ease.
Moto Edge 30 Pro comes equipped with a 4,800mAh battery and supports up to 68W fast charging (or 30W, differs with location) via the USB Type-C port. It also supports 15W wireless charging, which is great to see on a flagship from Motorola. Moreover, the device has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor (which doubles as the power button) and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. Also, a dual-SIM slot, 5G network, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC help round up the connectivity options.
The Edge 30 Pro is priced at $900 in the US, but it will eventually go up to $1,000 once the introductory period reaches an end. The device is priced at Rs 44,999 in India and will exclusively be sold via Flipkart, starting from 4th March. This price includes a Rs 5,000 flat discount being offered to SBI card users. The Moto Edge 30 Pro will retail at Rs 49,999 in India once the introductory offer ends.
