Moto X50 Ultra Teaser Hints at Design, F1 Inspiration; Tipped to Launch Globally as Motorola Edge 50 Pro

Moto X50 Ultra may be unveiled soon as the phone has recently been teased officially. The company teaser hinted at the phone’s design, which is likely to be different from the appearance of earlier models. There is not much known about the handset at the moment, but it has been tipped to be launched globally with slight changes and a different moniker. It is expected to come with upgrades over the last Moto X-series model, the Moto X40, which was unveiled in December 2023.

In the teaser video shared by Motorola in a Weibo post, the upcoming Moto X50 Ultra is shown juxtaposed with Formula 1 clips, hinting at the racing event serving as an inspiration, possibly design-wise. The company has also touted the phone to be an “AI Mobile Phone” (translated from Chinese). We can therefore expect it to be filled with AI-backed features. The company has not yet confirmed the launch timeline or any other details about the phone. Notably, the Moto X40 lineup did not have a Moto X40 Pro or Moto X40 Ulta model.

In the video above, we see the Moto X50 Ultra with a black, faux leather finish. A rectangular rear camera module appears in the top left corner of the back panel with a glossy finish. The split volume keys and the power button are seen on the right side of the handset. We can expect to learn more about the model over the next few weeks.

The Moto X50 Ultra is expected to launch globally, with a few modifications, as the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, a Sparrow News report states. It may carry a 4,500mAh battery with support for 125W wired and 50W wireless charging. A GSMArena report, however, notes that the Motorola Edge 50 Pro is likely to be a rebrand of a vanilla Moto X50 model, if at all there is any. Readers should take these assumptions with a pinch of salt since they are speculative.

The base Moto Edge 40 Pro was launched globally with some minor changes to the Moto X40 model. Notably, the Moto X40 launched with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, a 50-megapixel triple rear camera unit, a 60-megapixel selfie camera, a 6.7-inch full-HD+ curved AMOLED display and a 4,600mAh battery with support for 125W wired fast charging. It shipped with Android 13-based MyUI 5.0. 


The Motorola Edge 40 recently made its debut in the country as the successor to the Edge 30 that was launched last year. Should you buy this phone instead of the Nothing Phone 1 or the Realme Pro+?

Moto X40, expected to launch as Motorola’s flagship successor to the Moto Edge X30, has reportedly been spotted on the Compulsory Certification of China (3C) website database. According to a report, the 3C certification listing for the Moto X40 has backed up the previously tipped specifications related to the smartphone’s charging capabilities. The company has announced the Moto X40 will be launched in China on December 15.

According to the report by MyFixGuide citing unnamed industry sources, the upcoming Moto X40 flagship smartphone from Motorola has been spotted on China’s 3C certification website sporting the model number XT2301-5. The listing reportedly includes details of two chargers.

Motorola will also be unveiling MyUI 5.0, its lightly customised version of Android, alongside the Moto X40 at the December 15 event.

Lenovo Group General Manager for Mobile Division, Chen Jin previously shared the Moto X40’s AnTuTu benchmark score through a post on Weibo, which suggested that the smartphone set a new record score for any smartphone with 13,12,901 benchmark points.

A tip had suggested that the Moto X40 could arrive in 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB storage configurations.

According to another listing on China’s TENAA website, the Moto X40 will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC while being paired with LPDDR5X RAM. The report also suggested the smartphone to sport a hole-punch display cutout, and will be equipped with a triple rear camera setup.
