Motorola Edge 30 to launch in India on May 12
Motorola is gearing up to introduce its mid-range smartphone, the Edge 30, in India. According to an official post, the device will be launched in the country on May 12. To recall, the handset made its debut in the European markets last week with specifications such as a 144Hz AMOLED display, a 50MP triple rear camera setup, Snapdragon 778G+ SoC, and a 4,020mAh battery.
Why does this story matter?
The Motorola Edge 30 is touted to be the world's thinnest 5G smartphone (at 6.79mm) and a good alternative to the Edge 30 Pro, if you find the latter a bit pricier. The phone offers premium design and features at a fraction of the cost of the Pro model. In India, it will be the first-ever smartphone to get a Snapdragon 778G+ processor.

The Motorola Edge 30 has triple rear cameras, including a 50MP (f/1.8) main snapper, a 50MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth camera. On the front, it has a 32MP (f/2.4) selfie snapper.
The phone houses a Snapdragon 778G+ chipset
The Motorola Edge 30 is backed by a Snapdragon 778G+ SoC, paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The device boots Android 12-based MyUX and draws power from a 4,020mAh battery which supports 33W fast-charging. Connectivity options on the device include 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and a Type-C port.
