Motorola could have a 200-megapixel flagship smartphone up its sleeve
In This Article
Rumours indicate that Motorola is planning to launch a smartphone that boasts a staggering 200-megapixel camera and a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
The first-ever smartphone to boast a 200-megapixel camera could be soon set to launch — and unexpectedly, it might be a Motorola.
What’s more, that’s far from the only rumoured flagship-tier spec that’s been reported by the German websiteWinFuture, with the so-called Motorola Frontier seeming on course to be an all-out flagship possibly intended to compete with the likes of theSamsung Galaxy S22orOnePlus 10 Pro.

According to the leak, which was supported by reported images, the smartphone will run on a top-tierSnapdragon 8 Gen 1chipset, boosted with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage space. The 6.67-inch curved pOLED display is said to have an incredible 144Hz refresh rate, a Full HD+ resolution, and HDR10+ support.
As for the camera system, it by no means starts and ends with that headline 200-megapixel sensor; it will allegedly be joined by a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. Even the front-facing camera will apparently boast 60-megapixels.
Such stonking specifications are rare to see in a handset from Motorola, a brand that typically specialises inmid-range smartphonessuch as theMotorola Edge 20 Proand theMoto G60S. While the premium-pricedMotorola Razrfoldable marked a departure for the brand, an all-out flagship such as the rumoured Motorola Frontier would still be a strong statement of intention from this manufacturer.
The same source,WinFuture, states that it will arrive in July of this year — so we won’t have too much longer to wait and see how much truth can be found in these rumours.
