The new report comes from TechnikNews in a collaboration with Adan Conway. According to it, Motorola is working on a new flagship that now bears the “Nio” codename. The device bags model number XT2125 and sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset just like the Motorola Edge+. It’s curious to see the SD865 at this point, now that the Snapdragon 865 Plus is available as Qualcomm’s most cutting-edge chipset. Moreover, the phone will come paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of Internal Storage. However, the company will also offer a higher unit with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of Internal Storage. The display will have an FHD+ resolution and we expect the panel to have at least 90Hz of refresh rate. After all, that’s the amount offered by the Edge.
When it comes to the camera department,
the Motorola Nio is said to sport a Triple-Camera setup on the back. While
other companies are betting on Sony and Samsung cameras, Motorola is going with
OmniVision sensors. The main camera is a 64MP OmniVision OV64B sensor with a
wide-angle lens. It also packs a 16MP OmniVision OV16A10 sensor with an
ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2MP OmniVision OV02B1B depth module. On the front,
the device will pack a dual-camera setup. Perhaps, Motorola will adopt a
pill-shaped punch hole setup. It will comprise a 16MP sensor OmniVision OV16A1Q
sensor with a wide-angle lens and an 8MP Samsung S54H7 with an ultra-wide-angle
lens.
Other features include dual-SIM support
and Android 11 straight out of the box. According to reports, Motorola will
launch this phone in Q1 2021. However, this is a rather courageous move from
the company. After all, we expect other OEMs to be pushing its Snapdragon
875-powered phones during the first three months of 2021.
