Moto X40 — the purported successor of the Moto Edge X30 — specifications have surfaced online. Motorola appears to be working on a successor to the Moto Edge X30 that debuted in China last year.

Furthermore, this smartphone has been reportedly spotted on the China Compulsory Certification (3C) database. It is expected to arrive later this year sometime after the debut of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

According to a report by ITHome, citing tipster Digital Chat Station, the purported Moto X40 may feature a full-HD+ display and a 50-megapixel primary camera. This Motorola smartphone could be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
