The Moto X series from Motorola usually flaunts powerful hardware and is priced attractively. The Moto X30, and the just-released Moto X40, follow this design principle. Motorola refrains from attaching the "Pro" moniker to the Moto X40, but the Android smartphone does pack Qualcomm's latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC.
