Moto X40 will debut in China in December. This upcoming flagship smartphone from Motorola is also confirmed to offer IP68-rated water resistance. Earlier this month, it was revealed that the Moto X40 will be among the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. However, the exact launch date, design, and specifications of this upcoming handset are still under wraps. A recently surfaced TENAA listing suggests that the flagship smartphone might make its debut in two storage configuration options.
