Moto X50 Ultra Launch: Moto’s next-gen flagship arrives in China on May 16

Motorola is gearing up to unveil a new high-end smartphone in China soon. The upcoming device is the Motorola X50 Ultra, which is expected to be a rebranded version of the Edge 50 Ultra recently launched in Europe. But an official teaser has confirmed the release date of the X50 Ultra for the Chinese market.

To recall, the Edge 50 series is nearing its global release, consisting of the Edge 50 Pro, Edge 50 Fusion, and Edge 50 Ultra. The Edge 50 Fusion is set to launch next week while the other two have already been released in certain markets. And now, the Chinese version, dubbed the Motorola X50 Ultra, is also set to debut on May 16.

Looking at the teaser, we can see the device in a Biege color option. But since the Edge 50 Ultra also comes in Black and Peach Fuzz variants, we can expect the China release to also include these colors. Since it’s a rebranded Edge 50 Ultra, the specifications are likely similar between the two models. So the X50 Ultra could sport a 6.67-inch pOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate and 2500 nits of peak brightness as well.

Under the hood, it is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC that is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. The device would likely run on the Android 14 OS out of the box. For photography, the rear may offer a 50-megapixel triple camera setup while the front offers a 50-megapixel selfie shooter. A 4,500mAh battery pack could power this device with support for 125W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.
