Motorola posts teaser of high-end phone without ultra-wide-angle camera

Motorola has placed a teaser for the X30 Pro, a phone that will probably come out in Europe as Edge 30 Ultra or Frontier. In the teaser, the brand shows the focal point of the three cameras and it shows that an ultra-wide-angle camera is missing.

Cameras Motorola X30 Pro

The teaser shows the focal length of the three cameras on the back as 35mm, 50mm and 85mm. Most smartphone cameras have a primary camera with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 24 to 28mm, while ultra-wide-angle cameras are usually between 13 and 19mm.

Motorola calls the 35mm camera ‘the human eye’, the 50mm camera ‘the eye of the heart’ and the 85mm camera ‘the portrait eye’. The phone mentioned, the X30 Pro, is the brand’s most expensive phone for a release in China.

It is exceptional that a smartphone with three cameras does not have a wider field of view than 35mm. The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra also has a primary camera with a 35mm lens, but it adds a 16mm camera for ultra-wide angle shots.

Motorola Frontier

The phone will probably be released in the rest of the world as Edge 30 Ultra, codenamed Frontier. That primary camera has a maximum resolution of 200 megapixels and is therefore probably the first or one of the first phones with a camera sensor with that resolution. It is probably the Samsung HP1, with a surface area of ​​82.5mm² and an optical size of 1/1.22″. This makes it a large sensor for a smartphone, but not the largest so far.

The subsidiary brand of Lenovo does not say when exactly it wants to present the X30 Pro. Earlier rumors pointed to a presentation next month.
