Motorola is gearing up to launch a new smartphone in the X series called the Moto X40. The upcoming smartphone was teased by a Lenovo executive who did not reveal much about it. The Moto X40 could succeed the Moto Edge X30 that debuted in China last year. It is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It earlier surfaced on the China Compulsory Certification (3C) database with model number XT2301-5.

Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo Mobile Business Group, via a post on Weibo, teased the arrival of Moto X40. He asked users about their expectations from the upcoming phone. The post doesn't divulge much information about the smartphone but, as mentioned above, it is speculated to be a new flagship smartphone. The smartphone could succeed the Moto Edge X30.

The Moto X40 will be reportedly powered by the unannounced Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It is said to get a full-HD+ display and could include 50-megapixel primary camera.
