- Motorola confirmed to launch a phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen1 Plus chipset and a 200MP primary camera.
- The handset could be the Motorola Frontier that has leaked a few times.
- The handset may debut alongside the Moto Razr 3 foldable phone.
Motorola has officially confirmed to launch a new flagship phone in China sometime in July. The handset will have a 200MP primary camera sensor on the back, which makes us believe it could be the long-rumoured Motorola Frontier. Motorola says the new 200MP camera will offer a great photography experience and can be seen as a big leap forward from the current 108MP lens. The handset will come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen1 chipset that went official recently.
Motorola Frontier’s launch date hasn’t been revealed yet but it will arrive in China in July and should probably be expanded to other markets, including India and Europe later this year. The handset may debut alongside the Moto Razr 3 foldable phone.
