MWC 2022: Motorola Confirms 'Flagship Smartphone' Launch

Motorola this week started sending out invitations to media companies for its MWC 2020 press conference, scheduled for Feb 23rd. At present, in a correspondence to Android Headlines, the company reportedly confirmed that it will launch its next flagship smartphone at the issue in Barcelona, marker a major departure from the visitor's recent strategy surrounding its smartphone business organization.

Not only has the Lenovo-owned brand refrained from announcing anything big at the MWC in contempo years, but the company had also quietly withdrawn from the premium segment altogether following poor responses to its Moto Z-series devices, deciding instead to concentrate on its G-series mid-rangers that continue to do reasonable concern in certain parts of the world despite not being able to regain its old glory.

At the Qualcomm Snapdragon summit in Hawaii last December, Motorola announced plans to re-enter the flagship segment in 2020, but not many had expected it to happen this early on in the year. Co-ordinate to Motorola president, Sergio Buniac, the company'due south upcoming premium smartphone will exist the "fastest 5G phone on Qualcomm'due south flagship platform", the Snapdragon 865 SoC. Rumors propose that it might be chosen the Motorola Border Plus, although it is yet to be officially verified by the company.

The visitor is also being rumored to launch a handset with a stylus, but it is expected to exist a separate device altogether. Either fashion, at present that the company is seemingly all set to come out with a new high-end smartphone, it will be interesting to run into if it will be able to compete on even terms with devices from other major vendors, including Samsung, who is also expected to launch its flagship Galaxy S20-series smartphones next month.
