Snapdragon's Flagship processor for 2022 is Snapdragon 8Gen1. Yeah, They've changed their naming style. In 2019, it was SD865. This year, it was supposed to be SD875 but it was SD 888. We thought next year it would be SD 898 but it's completely different. Snapdragon 8Gen1.

Last year, Motorola was one of the first Smartphone Manufacturers to use Snapdragon 888 in smartphones. This time around, they were able to become the first company to use Snapdragon 8Gen1 in a smartphone. Their Latest flagship, Motorola Edge X30 is the first smartphone to be powered by Snapdragon 8Gen1.
Talking about the camera setup of the smartphone, there are 3 cameras in the back.
  • 50MP Main Camera
  • 50MP Ultrawide Camera
  • Depth Sensor

    This smartphone has a whopping 60MP Selfie camera. I think the same sensor will be used in Samsung S22 Ultra.

    The other thing is this smartphone has a special version which has an under-display front camera which is also a 60MP Sensor. And that's the only difference between the Special Edition and the Normal Edition. This smartphone was able to surpass the 1Million barrier is Antutu Benchmark and it's the First Android to do that.

    The design of the smartphone looks normal. Nothing Extraordinary. Usually, flagships use an Under Display Fingerprint Sensor. But this one has a Side-mounted sensor. Under display sensor can be compromised by tempered glasses or cut on the finger. So, I think going for a Side Mounted sensor is not that bad.

    This has a 5000Mah battery which can be charged by a 68W fast charger. This can fully charge the smartphone within 40 minutes. But this smartphone doesn't have wireless charging which is something most flagships have. I think it's done for cost-cutting.

    Alongside the flagship, Motorola released another smartphone namely, Moto S30. It's mostly identical to Moto X30 but it has some major differences. It's powered by Snapdragon 888+ which is this year's flagship processor. It has a bit larger display but it's an LCD panel. And fast charging has been dropped down to 33W but the battery capacity is the same.

    The camera setup is dialed down, a 108MP main sensor without OIS, a 13MP Ultrawide sensor - no Auto Focus, and as usual, a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is only 16MP here.

    Recently, Motorola has officially released its smartphones in Sri Lanka. But it's not clear whether they have intentions to bring their flagships here. Let's see what's gonna happen.
