Since the release of the latest flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, Android phone makers are now in the race to introduce the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphones. After Xiaomi, Realme, and even Oppo confirmed the launch of their upcoming devices with Qualcomm’s latest high-end SoC, Motorola has decided to get ahead of the game. It has now announced the name and launch date of its 8 Gen 1 smartphone, which is the Motorola Edge X30.
Motorola, via a Weibo post, has announced that it will launch the Motorola Edge X30 as the world’s first smartphone to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. The device will hit the stage on December 9 in China.
For those who don’t know, Xiaomi was expected to introduce the Xiaomi 12 as the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone but turns out, Motorola has won this race. Unless the company decides to announce a launch date before December 9, which is an unlikely situation. The Xiaomi 12 is likely to go official on December 12.
There are a number of other phones that will launch with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip but we don’t have many details on it. We will keep you posted on the same, so stay tuned for more information.
