This teaser video lasts only 24 seconds but quickly takes viewers on an ultra-fast ride featuring a Lenovo-sponsored Formula 1 car. This visual feast depicts how fast the Moto X50 Ultra is and hints at some of the AI functionalities that Motorola has planned for users.

Lenovo - Motorola's parent company - reiterates its drive behind pushing the limits of mobile technology. The smartphone can briefly be seen in the video with such unique attributes as a faux leather back and rear camera array positioned at the top-left corner.

Set to debut initially in China; the Moto X50 Ultra boasts a robust 4500mAh battery supporting 125W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. The device is anticipated to house the 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 application processor, further enhancing its performance capabilities. If Motorola follows its recent naming conventions, the Moto X50 Ultra in China might be recognized globally as the Moto Edge 50 Pro, with a potential variant named Moto Edge+ 2024 for the North American market.

The teaser builds on the recent success of Motorola in the European smartphone market. Despite having ranked fourth among European smartphone makers in the previous year's last quarter, the company was stunned to see shipments grow a staggering 73% in the prior year's equivalent period.

Motorola's resurgence, fueled initially by budget-friendly devices, has now culminated in a return to the flagship tier, setting the stage for a formidable showdown with industry giants like Samsung and Apple.
