Motorola X40 Pro renders show the complete design in full glory ahead of the expected launch in December. The alleged device will likely launch as Motorola Edge 30 Pro in the Indian market.

The images show the Motorola X40 Pro aka the Edge 40 Pro design looks familiar to the predecessor aka the Edge 30 Pro except for the rear camera module. There is the iconic Moto dimple in the middle.

The renders showcase a new camera island of the alleged X40 Pro that slightly differs from the previous model. It has a triple camera system enclosed in a square camera module as opposed to a large rectangular one from the X30 Pro. The other nifty detail implies the LED rests alongside the lenses in the module, whereas the X30 Pro had it on the outside.

Motorola’s next flagship phone will be the Motorola X40 Pro, which might debut as Moto Edge 40 Pro in global markets and in India. The handset is expected to arrive with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC and is expected to be launched sometime in December.

The Motorola X40 Pro has a centre-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper and slightly curved edges. The bezels on all corners are pretty narrow so you can have an immersive media consumption or gaming experience. The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge. The top portion houses the speaker grill, while the bottom edge has a USB Type-C port, speaker grill, primary microphone, and SIM tray section.

As for the cameras, the Motorola X40 Pro will have a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a new 12MP telephoto lens. The handset is expected to have a 60MP snapper on the front for selfies and video chats. The Edge 40 Pro is tipped to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage that might not be expandable. The Motorola X40 Pro is expected to have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
