Alongside, the Lenovo-backed brand is also working on a special edition which is said to go official next month in the global market. Which is the new Motorola Edge X30 variant is currently under development and what all differences it will offer compared to the standard variant? Read on to know:

Motorola Edge X30 Under Screen Edition Launch Set In March

It is also yet to be revealed if the company will launch the special variant of the Edge X30 in India and the remaining markets in the same month or later.

Motorola Edge X30 Under Screen Edition: What New Hardware We Can Expect?

The Motorola Edge X30 Under Screen Edition is likely to feature the same set of specifications as the standard Edge X30. But what would set this model apart from the previous model would be the presence of an under-display camera for selfies.

Motorola is yet to clear the air surrounding the design and the selfie camera specications of the Edge X30 Under Screen edition. However, the major possibilities is the brand will just shift the selfie camera module’s placement under the screen and keep the sensor specifications same as the standard Motorola Edge X30. This means the company would likely stick to a 60MP selfie snapper on the Moto Edge X30 Under Screen edition.

Other key specs such as the Snadragon 8 Gen 1 processor combined with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage confirguration and a 50MP triple rear camera module will also be present on the new model.

One of the easiest ways is to use a separate web browser altogether and launch WhatsApp web with a different account or mobile number.

If in case you are using Google Chrome or Safari as your default web browser on your respective Windows and macOS laptops/ PCs, launch a different app and get started with WhatsApp (use a different account here). Mozilla Firefox, Internet Edge are some of the options for Windows users.
