The post didn't mention a specific date, but tipster Abhishek Yadav spilled the beans on X, saying the launch is supposedly going down on April 3 (via PhoneArena). The tipster even threw in what seems to be official promo material from Motorola, giving us a sneak peek at the Edge 50 Pro and confirming a set of leaked renders we've seen before.
Motorola India's post also confirms the phone's design, but the company is keeping the specs tight-lipped. It dropped a few tidbits, though, such as a 10MP telephoto lens with 50x hybrid zoom and some AI camera magic in the mix.
According to Yadav, the phone might rock a 6.7-inch pOLED display, packing a punch with 1.5K resolution, a super smooth 144Hz refresh rate, and 2,000 nits of peak brightness. Furthermore, it could be shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for extra protection.

Inside, we're likely looking at the powerhouse Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor driving the device. It's expected to ship out with Android 14 on board. And for juice, it's rumored to pack a 4,500mAh battery with lightning-fast 125W wired charging and support for 50W wireless charging.
Motorola's teasers give us a peek at the handset's curved screens and a waterdrop-style notch right in the middle of the display for the selfie shooter.
