Motorola General Manager Chen Jin posted a live image of the smartphone, face-up, with no visible notch or hole punch, as spotted by Sparrows News. Calling the under-screen camera a "radical choice," Jin stated that there was an increase in user demand which prompted the company to launch a "special version" of Moto Edge X30 as the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered smartphone to feature an under-screen camera.

The upcoming smartphone has also been tipped to feature a triple camera setup, with a 50-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The smartphone is tipped to feature a 2-megapixel depth sensor, while the front is expected to feature an under-display 60-megapixel selfie camera. Previous reports also tip the flagship Motorola smartphone to feature a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Previous reports had suggested that Xiaomi was aiming to launch the Xiaomi 12 series as the first smartphones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in mid-December, but it appears that Moto Edge X30 is likely to be the first handset to do so, with the company confirming the December 9 launch date. The smartphone is tipped to feature a 5,000mAh battery with support for 68W charging, and could run on Android 12 out of the box, according to reports.
