Today, Motorola unveiled two new devices – one from the X-series and one that will probably be the cheapest 5G device from the company in the near future. For now, they are only available in China, but should eventually reach the rest of the world.
Moto X40:
The new Moto X40 will arrive with a curved display on the front with the center punch-hole notch. It comes with almost bezel-less sides and feels premium in terms of design. The device might likely have metallic chassis running on the sides with the power button and volume rockers on the right.
The back got that matte finish with a weird squarish camera module protruding out of the body. It features triple cameras with two aligned vertically and a third one placed beside it with LED flash. It measures 8.5mm thick and weighs 197g.

Moto G53 5G:
Motorola’s Moto G53 boasts 5G connectivity. In spite of this, it is disappointing in some respects as a follow-up to the 4G-only Moto G52. Despite Motorola’s confusing line-up, the 5G-equipped Moto G51 has some better specs.
