On top of that, it’s the world’s first phone that will appear with a 200 MP primary camera, which is also rumored to seem on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Highlights

1. The phone has a flat 6.7-inches OLED panel accompanied by a 144Hz advanced refresh rate.
2. As for the hardware section, you will attain the 4nm Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset that will manage the heavy processing power.
3. In terms of the camera setup, a 200MP triple camera setup comes with a 60MP selfie lens.
4. Moving to the software end, the phone will equip the latest Android 12 based on the MYUI 4.0 custom skin.
5. Lastly, the battery department delivers a relatively small Li-Po 4610 mAh capacity that is charged by 125W wired and 50W wireless chargers.

Design and Display

The company unveiled the Moto X30 Pro in two marvelous shade options including White and Black. Both of them look classic and more appealing once you hold the back panel. The curves can be felt on the edges, while the company innovates with a camera module design layout that somehow looks pretty similar to the Infinix smartphone cut out.

Anyway, the built quality looks pretty premium and sleek. If you prefer a glossy design layout, go with the White shade option, while if you are looking for a professional-looking device, the Black color variant is not a bad deal either. It’s up to you what you choose since everything has its own taste and preference when it comes to colors.

The rear glass has coring gorilla glass, we were expecting the Victus glass, but anyway, the glass built looks outstanding in both colors option. On the other hand, the 6.7-inches OLED panel renders impressive colors, while at the same time, you can adjust color saturation according to your needs. Following this, the phone also offers a 144Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+ crispness that enhance the overall user experience.

Furthermore, the device does have slim bezels on the front screen, which makes the display look more curved. On the other hand, since the phone has an OLED display having an under-display fingerprint scanner is a common thing. The company also added an optical Face ID security feature that will ensure your phone privacy and security. As a thumb rule, you can also utilize a pattern or pin setup to unlock your phone.

Although you won’t receive any under-display selfie camera, the curved panel gives an infinite view and renders 10-bit colors that further improve the overall viewing experience of this phone. In the outdoor condition, the phone can easily go up to 1250 nits, which is quite impressive. Moreover, it includes splash resistance coating, which is more or less useless in daily usage.

Memory and Internal

The 4nm Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset is the heart of the Moto X30 Pro as it handles everything inside the system properly. The performance aspect does improve with the latest chipset, while it doesn’t have overheating issues like the previous gen chipset at the same time. Speaking of the processing powers, the phone quickly provides a 3.19-GHz cloaking speed for your long gaming session and multitasking.

Now that we talk about gameplay, let’s discuss the visual aspect of the phone. To support FHD-resolution gaming, the company also added an Adreno 730 GPU, which will boost the graphic to the next level. On top of that, you won’t notice any lags while playing games like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty at the maximum resolution settings.

A big thanks should also be given to the 144Hz refresh rate, which will make sure you won’t get any jester in your gameplay and enhance the touch response and fluidity on the screen. For heavy usage, you modify the setting to always 144Hz refresh. But it will drain the battery faster. But if you are not a heavy user, we recommend you stick with the Auto-refresh rate feature.

In terms of the software layering, the company renders its MYUI 4.0 interface, which integrates pretty well with Android 12. But sadly, you have noticed lots of bloatware apps inside the android system. Although most of them can be removed, they will appear once again while you are updating apps on Wi-Fi. Apart from this, the customization factor will help you make a personalized interface experience.

Finally, let’s talk about internal storage and RAM, which will be sufficient for your daily activities. If you are normal users who play games casually, binge-watch content, and check social media feeds, then going with 128GB space and 8GB RAM is more than enough. But if you can expand your budget slightly, you can also check out the 256GB to 512GB storage variant accompanied by 12GB RAM.

Camera

We have taken various photos and videos through the Motorola Moto X30 Pro camera module from day to night, and the camera quality is soberingly constant throughout the entire usage. First, we have tried taking photos in the daylight, the color saturation and contrast are punchy out from the screen, and the AI software delivers superb results. The 200MP primary lens does its job precisely.

Plus, you won’t notice grains or oversaturation in the lowlight photos, while at the same time, the native camera app will produce finely detailed photos with night mode. The blacks are managed properly so that you will get a flagship-level camera experience without any problem. In terms of the portrait mode, the software handles edge detection in a pretty easy manner.

On top of that, the dynamic range will attain through a 50MP ultra-wide lens. The ultrawide shots are quite crips and have decent contrast of colors. Following this, the triple camera module ends with a 12MP telephoto lens that will render 2X optical zoom, which will eventually aid in improving the details of the photos. As for the front display, it’s a bold move to house a 60MP selfie camera.

The dot-notch selfie camera grants astounding results the outdoors as well as indoors. Plus, you can also utilize various features of the native camera application to present the best self on social media platforms. Besides this, you can also use different filters to adjust the skin tone and have fun tweaking with other camera settings.

In terms of video recording, the primary camera setup can easily record up to 8K videos with proper gyro-EIS support with optical image stabilization support. The ultra-wide lens can shoot up to 4K videos without any hassle and slow-mo features are also available to create various format videos. Aside from this, the front display camera can also go up to 4K resolution at 30fps, but it doesn’t have proper image stabilization software support.

Battery and Others

Having better battery life depends on how the software optimizes the performance and provides the best result to attain a long-lasting screen time. But if you are a heavy user who wants to utilize the full potential of the Motorola Moto X30 Pro can easily give you more than five hours long screen time via a Li-Po 4610 mAh battery. In general, you can easily squish out a day’s worth of battery life if you are just checking your social media feels.

Moreover, you can play long gaming sessions through this device and even after 4+ hours of usage, around 18% of the battery still remains during our usage. Furthermore, we have also streamed content on Youtube, which consume more than half of the battery in less than three hours. If you want long battery life, we recommend you to charge using the original adapter and USB cable.

Speaking of charging support, the Moto X30 Pro utilizes a 125W fast charge that only takes than 20-minutes to refuel the battery. Isn’t that great? All you need to do is plug your phone for 10-minutes and there you have 50% battery fueled. Besides this, the phone supports 50W wireless charging support. Finally, let’s talk about the price point. The starting price is around $550 (Rs 43,490 in India) approx, which is appropriate according to the overall features and specs.
