Moto X40 unveiled with SD 8 Gen 2 and 165Hz OLED display, Moto G53 offers 5G on the cheap

15 December 2022
There is no X40 Pro, at least not yet. The one thing keeping this from a "pro" label may be the main camera. On the plus side, it is cheaper than the X30 Pro.

Sort by:

So many 8 Gen 2 phones being released and NOT ONE with Band 71.

No no, save band 71 for the overpriced phones. 🤦‍♂️

        Anonymous, 18 Dec 2022From where i'm from people who buy phones and put case... moreMan from 10 people usualy 5 knows which phone they have and you forget to mention many people buy not for them selves but as a gift.
        Phone cover is a good birtday gift or Xmas present.
        So people always dont know which ophone they just know the brand.
        Or they say for example I have Huawei P40 for example.
        Then i ask if they have PO40, Pro, P40, P40 Lite or P40 Lite E but here is not that difficult to see which phones they have because camera island on each fo them looks different.
        But not many phones are like this.
        Last batch fo Xiaomi phones like redmi series of 10 or 11 are completely the same apart range of XXA and XXC.

        But as i said before every single person is different and sometimes they ask a question which litterary kills me and i am person who working 20+ years in shop and i am usually ready for everything after such a long time.

              The X40 is basically an X30 with a telephoto camera, 165Hz screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, and a smaller battery with faster charging. That said, the X40 may go Global as the Edge 40.

                    I assume no.
                    Most other people are same. THey just come to the shop say Hello and ask if we have a cover for samsung for example.
                    But they dont say which model of Samsung. Many models are litterary simmilar on a first look. (Xiaomi, Apple, Sony, Motorola and Samsung are good examples).
                    Usually a customer kills me with how i should know which samsung i have, you are the expert here you must know.
                    Etc. Understanding or trying to understand certain species of people is completely diffucult.
                    Even learning Braille Alphanet in finnish language upside down and reading backwards is a lot easier than trying to understand several species of humans called customers.
                    But thats another story for another long winter night.

                    Working 20+ years in store as a sales advisor past 8 years rnning own phone shop company but still i meet people which teaches me i did ot experienced everything and sometimes they litterary kills me with their questions.

                      Motorola are not the best to update their smartphones !!! I guess they can a lot improve all that !!!

                        People usually put cases on their phones right after they bought the thing and even if the phone was gifted from somebody else, the box probably already has the name of the phone slapped on to it.

                        If someone doesn't even know what the name of the phone that they just bought, I would have more concerns than just the name of the phone.

                        p.s. all the phones you mentioned have very slight differences to their design so "literally the same design" is technically untrue

                        p.s.s. i feel like the word "literally" has lost it's meaning since it's being used in literal AND figurative sense

                          I am letting people having their opinions and options but its boring seeing every single year same thing and simmilar thing.
                          I would like to see a phone and say this is this and this is that.
                          But if you see for example A32s, A52s, A53, A13 4G is litterary same looking phone and you have to check inside which kind of phone customer have to find a case which fits.

                          Man i dont need to educate you when we both know i am right.
                          Same goes for Iphone 12-13-14 where you also can only guess which cover or screen protector will fits unless you check manualy from settings.

                            Phones are tested in certain conditions I.E. water tank with pure unmodified clean water and standing still.
                            Dropping whether accidentaly or niot is not sae scenario. If you werent lucky your phone can die anytime in water. Since noone is willing to give you warranty even an acidental drop can destroy your device.
                            Having or no having IP resistanxe is not an option sice is nothing but ostly gimmick rather would carry a waterproof case.
                            Since no manufacturer making submarines like phones you get a phone with many useless costly gimmicks just like waterproofnes because phone aint submarine right???
                            And honestly i will carry my phone in waterproof case which i can trust way more than IP
                            X rating where manufacturer cant guarantee you anything.
                            Your proof is right here: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_australia_fined_aud_14m_over_misleading_water_resistance_ads-news-54782.php

                            Lastly my arguments like everything else are based on relevant experience and scenarios. Topic above is all you need to know.
                            Case for 2 bucks covers way more than costly IP6X with rubbers and sealings all around your internals in device for 50+ bucks.

                            Finaly if i own a company which makes cell phones i would add em equal to submarine a complete 100% water proof. Something like Meizu Zero and made from amterials way more durable than current phones. Some of theses materials arent that expensive and scarce.
                            But because my company only sells then i have no other choice but to sell whats available and what other comapnies make.

                              Interesting enough. Generic or not, it suits the product rather than costs increase. All depends on price uncle Moto labels your box.

                                    People don't wanna carry their phones to a swiming pool or whatever, they are not planning to use it under water if they are then they misunderstood the waterproofness in the first place. That's just in case if you drop into with water that you have atbleast some hope to recover it because phones with IP certificat has already maximum of how much waterproof it can be which is better then not having IP certificat at all because more options is always better then less. And please don't tell me you would carry your phone in a 2$ cheap IP6X case everyday to be safe from accidental drops into (non salty) water.

                                    So, you're missing the point of these certificats in the first place because all you think of is phone's warranties that are not covering if water breach into your phone. They already have maximum waterproofness and because one OnePlus model without IP certificat has survived a minute in glass of water you can't asume that's what all phone brands are doing because you can't know for sure, you just can't and all you arguments are based on that one example.

                                    Cheers maaaaaaan :D

                                      The Moto G53 might be a downgrade from its „predecessor“, but it‘s also much cheaper. For the price, it covers all the essentials: Fingerprint, fast chip (probably), not too small camera sensor, 128 GB storage, and it even has 120Hz when 90Hz is the standard at that price. I think it‘s not really fair to compare it to the G52, at least if it launches at a similar price to the Chinese price globally.
