I mean, going from number 1300 to 9000 in one jump seems wonky. Seeing that D8020 is just a rebranded D1100, means it has better feature sets than the D7000-series (which houses D7200 and theoretically it might include rebranded Dimensity 900) and the newly rebranded D6020 (D700's new name). So purely marketing thing that we tech enthusiast are still figuring out why.

Also, Dimensity 8000/8100 is basically a Dimensity 1100/1200 with newer-gen GPU, support for much faster LPDDR5 RAM, and much better power efficiency (due to TSMC N5 process). D8100 is much more prevalent than its lesser sibling 8000 despite similar in nature, so D8020 branding is used to rebrand the 1100. That also gives MediaTek some headroom to rebrand its mightier duo D1200 into something like "D8050"

    Lol, Motorola crap. They'll break it in an update and then drop all support.

          Anonymous, 02 May 2023At least it is better than the overused SD778. Overused for a reason ,it does what it's meant to do perfectly

                Only 4400 mah battery, & vegan leather back to collect the grease & sweat in your hands. Good choices by motorola

                  Motorola should make a Ducati edition, they are the main sponsor in MotoGP.

                    So D8000 should be way worse than expecting.

                    And yeah. D8100 has 12 core GPU, D1100 only has 9 core old gen.

                      Edge pro should not have had 8g2. This SoC should be for Ultra.
                      Correct would be :

                      40 ultra: 8g2
                      40 fusion : 8+g1
                      40 pro: 7+g2
                      40: D8300
                      40 Lite : 6g1
                      40 Neo: 8100

                          An f1.4 aperture on a midranger is an unusual approach. Hopefully, the chip can support stabilised 4k video though

                                Way better than pixel 7a.
                                This for $550/€550 would be fair.
                                In Europe, xiaomi would easily charge €700 for similar device.

                                  A great Lamborghini with the engine of Mini.
                                  Why didn't Motorola use something like Dimensity 8100 at least?!!

                                        Just check X7 Max and X70 Pro battery life with just 4500mAh batteries!
                                        Or even the Realme 9 Pro+/10 Pro+!
                                        If moto doesn't screw up, it'll easily give 100+hrs endurance in GSMA test.
