It's fair to say that Lenovo-owned Motorola has fallen behind its competitors this year in a few respects. The company launched the budget Moto E5 series and the lower mid-range Moto G6 series in April, but the phones don't compete particularly well against competitors from the likes of Xiaomi, Asus, Honor, etc. The Motorola Moto Z3 Play was then launched in June with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC, but its relatively high $500 price tag made it a tough sell against flagships such as the OnePlus 6. To compound matters even further, Motorola launched its 2018 flagship, the Motorola Moto Z3, in the US this month with a last-generation SoC (the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 instead of the newer Snapdragon 845).
Now, at an event in China, Motorola has launched the Moto P30, a new mid-range phone with an iPhone X-style display notch and the Snapdragon 636 SoC. The company also launched the Moto Z3 and the Moto E5 Plus in the country. Specifications of the Moto P30 are noted below:
