Live: see a new Motorola phone launched with our Moto Edge X30 launch live blog
Refresh
If Motorola does launch the Edge X30 in China today, then rolls it to other regions under a different name later, it wouldn’t be the first time the company has done this.
Earlier in 2021, the Moto Edge S showed up in China – then popped up globally a few months afterward as the Moto G100.
We’ve heard a few rumors about what the Edge X30 could be when it comes out everywhere else. We initially thought it would be the Moto G200, an idea which was quashed when that phone debuted as something totally different.
The Edge X30 could come globally as the Moto Edge 30 Ultra, a mobile we’ve been hearing a few rumors about, though some of those rumors make it sound like a different device to the Edge X30.
It’s totally possible that we won’t see the Edge X30 globally at all though, as Moto seems to be making a big push in China, so it could be debuting exclusive mobiles there as an attempt to win market share.
Motorola has already teased the gaming capabilities of the Edge X30 – we say that because one of the first official images of the mobile it shared, which you can see above, had a picture of a game being played.
The company also teased the Moto Edge X line before the X30 name was confirmed, and implied this was a line of gaming phones.
While today is a ‘big tech launch day’, with the Moto Edge X30 coming in a few hours and the Realme GT Pro 2 expected at some point too, it’s not the only event we’re expecting before the turn of the calendar.
We’re also expecting the Xiaomi 12 to get unveiled before the year is out, possibly before Christmas.
You may be asking ‘what’s that got to do with the Moto Edge X30’ – well, these three mobiles are all expected to compete pretty closely, being top-end phones toting the new Snapdragon chipset.
Because Xiaomi is a very established brand, and Realme has been teasing its first-ever top-end phone for quite a while, Motorola is going to need to really wow us today to keep pace with these rivals.
Welcome to our Moto Edge X30 live blog – we’ve got a few hours to go until the event kicks off, but there’s some more information and insight we have to share before the start time.
