Motorola Teases New Smartphone Featuring Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC and Curved Display

Motorola has announced its imminent launch of a new smartphone in India. While the specific details like the name and release date remain undisclosed, the company has started teasing some key specifications ahead of the official debut. The hints suggest that the upcoming device will likely belong to the mid-range category, similar to the rumored Motorola Edge 50 Fusion.

Through a series of posts on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Motorola has unveiled that the upcoming smartphone will feature a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. This chipset is commonly found in mid-range smartphones, indicating that Motorola’s new device might target the same market segment.

The company has also shared an image featuring a rectangular object with a fast charging animation, hinting at potential support for rapid wired or wireless charging in Motorola’s upcoming device. Additionally, the teaser reveals a third object resembling a smartphone camera lens, though it’s unclear which camera the company is referring to.

In a previous teaser video posted on X, Motorola hinted at a smartphone with a curved display, showcasing rounded edges on the left and right sides of the screen. The video briefly displays the rear panel with the iconic Motorola “batwing” logo embedded in a small depression. Furthermore, the video confirms the imminent launch of a Motorola Edge series phone.

Recently, Motorola announced via a press release that it would host a launch event on April 3, teasing a “fusion of art and intelligence.” While specific details about the smartphones to be unveiled remain undisclosed, the teaser echoes the same themes of intelligence and art shared on X.

As the launch event draws near, speculation suggests that Motorola may introduce the Moto Edge 50 series in India, with the teased smartphone possibly being the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion or Edge 50 Pro. Given the mid-range Snapdragon chipset hinted at by the company, the former model could debut soon, with further details anticipated in the coming days.
