Motorola Edge X30 specifications

Body

The weight of Motorola Edge X30 is about 6.84 oz with battery, which is average compared to most of the smartphones with same size. The dimensions of this Motorola smartphone are average (6.44 x 2.99 x 0.33 inch). Smaller smartphones are more compact and easier to carry around, but they may have smaller displays that can be harder to read and interact with. A Nano SIM is a small (12.3 x 8.8 x 0.67 mm) chipcard that is used in smartphones as a subscriber identity module (SIM) for connecting to a cellular network.

System

The Motorola Edge X30 comes with Android OS v12.0 out of the box, but it is upgradable to the next OS. Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software. The Edge X30 utilizes Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset. This octa-core CPU is managed by an advanced scheduler that allocates tasks to the CPU for speed and power efficiency in real time.

The Edge X30 utilizes Adreno 730 GPU. A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized chip that is primarily designed to handle and accelerate the processing of graphics and visual data. It is responsible for rendering images, videos, and animations on a smartphone screen. Adreno GPUs are designed to work in conjunction with Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. The latest Adreno GPUs support advanced graphics features such as high dynamic range (HDR) rendering, virtual reality, and augmented reality applications. We use AnTuTu app to measure general processing performance. AnTuTu Benchmark is the most popular benchmark app for Android phones.

Display

The Edge X30 features a 6.7 inch POLED display. POLED technology allows for innovative and unique designs, such as curved or wrap-around displays, which can enhance the aesthetics and ergonomics of devices. The 6.7 inch display should be large enough to provide a comfortable viewing experience for your needs, whether it's reading text, browsing the web, or watching videos. The size of the screen is measured diagonally, from corner to corner. A larger screen typically requires more power to illuminate, which can impact battery life. The display of Motorola Edge X30 is multitouch capable. Multitouch technology enables the device's touchscreen to detect and interpret multiple touch points on the screen simultaneously.

Memory

The 8 GB of RAM on the Motorola Edge X30 should be more than enough to handle their daily needs without any major issues. Having more RAM in a smartphone can provide benefits in terms of performance and multitasking. When you have more RAM, you can keep more apps and processes open in the background without slowing down the device. 128 GB of internal storage should be more than enough for their needs. The Edge X30 has 128 GB of internal storage. The memory and the internal storage of the Motorola Edge X30 (8 GB) cannot be expanded.

Camera

The Edge X30 offers multi-camera setup on its back. The advantages of a multiple camera setup provide more versatility and creative possibilities, allowing you to capture a wider range of subjects and scenes with improved image quality and specialized features. The main camera of the Edge X30 is equipped with autofocus. An autofocus (or AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. Very few Android cameras come without autofocus. The main camera of Edge X30 has optical image stabilization (OIS) to counteract camera shake. Optical image stabilization is a must for anyone shooting without a tripod with a long lens or in low light conditions.

Connectivity

The Motorola Edge X30 supports the latest 5G network technology. It is the successor to 4G (Fourth Generation) and offers significant advancements in terms of speed, capacity, latency, and overall network performance. The Motorola Edge X30 like all modern smartphones, is capable of connecting to Wi-Fi networks. Wi-Fi allows devices to connect to the network from anywhere within range of the wireless access point, making it easier to work or access the internet from different locations or on different devices.

The Edge X30 smartphone is capable of connecting to Bluetooth devices. Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that allows devices to connect and communicate with each other over short distances. The Edge X30 has a GPS receiver. GPS allows smartphones to determine their precise location and provide accurate navigation and mapping services. This includes turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates, points of interest, and alternative routes.

The Edge X30 comes with NFC (Near Field Communication) functionality. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity technology that makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to make transactions, exchange digital content, and connect electronic devices with a touch. The Edge X30 phone doesn't have built-in FM radio receiver. The Edge X30 has an USB Type-C port. Type-C is a small, reversible connector that can be plugged in to a device in either orientation, making it more convenient to use than older USB connectors that only worked when plugged in a certain way. The Edge X30 smartphone does not have 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Battery

The Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable battery gives the smartphone a good battery backup. The lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery is a thin, light-weight, rechargeable battery. No periodic discharge is needed and charging can be done at random. The battery of Edge X30 isn't removable without voiding the warranty.

Features

Smartphones today come with a wealth of sensors to facilitate a better user experience. The accelerometer is a sensor that measures the tilting motion and orientation of the phone. The Edge X30 phone has a fingerprint scanner. This sensor identifies and authenticates the fingerprints of an individual in order to grant or deny access to a smartphone. This Motorola phones come with proximity sensor. This proximity sensor detects how close the phone is to an outside object, such as your ear.
