Hot on the heels of last week's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 unveiling, Motorola has managed to take the lead, in terms of launching a phone running on this cutting-edge silicon. Meanwhile, Oppo's forthcoming Inno Day event looks set to give us a wealth of interesting technologies, including the company's first foldable.

First up, we're delving into the reveal of the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 smartphone, the Motorola Edge X30. Revealed on 9 December in China, the smartphone boasts flagship-level specs that could compete with some of the best. We'll also discuss the Motorola Edge S30, a larger and – relatively speaking – more modest mobile powered by the still-current top-tier Snapdragon 888+.

Next, we're moving on to Oppo's Inno Day teasers. While Oppo Inno Day doesn't officially kick off until next week, the company has teased a bunch of new technology including what's thought to be a new camera-focused NPU (neural processing unit), the next evolution in its conceptual AR (augment reality) glasses, a phone concept with a retractable camera and its first foldable phone – now known as the Oppo Find N.
