Introduction
Motorola appears to be preparing a new smartphone under its Moto One branding, bringing back a product series that has been absent from the company's smartphone lineup for several years.
The upcoming device, reportedly called the Motorola Moto One, has appeared in the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) certification database. The listing reveals its design and confirms support for Qi2 wireless charging with a maximum supported power of 15W.
The smartphone has also appeared on Geekbench, offering an early look at its potential hardware specifications, including Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and a possible 12GB RAM configuration.
Although Motorola has not officially announced the device, these certification and benchmarking appearances suggest that the company is preparing another smartphone for its expanding portfolio.
Motorola Moto One Appears in Wireless Power Consortium Database
The upcoming Motorola smartphone has been identified by the model number XT2771-1 in the Wireless Power Consortium database.
The certification listing includes images showing the smartphone from multiple angles, providing an early look at its overall design.
The leaked images suggest that the device could feature:
- A curved-edge display with a centrally positioned punch-hole selfie camera.
- A square rear camera module.
- Three camera lenses and an LED flash.
- An in-display fingerprint sensor.
- A USB Type-C charging port.
- A dedicated Moto AI button.
The overall appearance reportedly resembles some of Motorola's previous Edge-series smartphones, although the final retail design could differ.
15W Qi2 Wireless Charging Confirmed
One of the most interesting details revealed by the WPC certification is the phone's wireless charging capability.
The listing confirms support for Qi2 Extended Power Profile (EPP), with wireless charging power of up to 15W.
However, there is an important distinction: the certification does not indicate support for the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP).
This means the smartphone can support Qi2 wireless charging, but it may not include built-in magnets for attaching magnetic accessories directly.
Users interested in magnetic accessories may need a compatible magnetic phone case.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Processor and 12GB RAM Expected
Apart from the wireless charging certification, the Motorola Moto One has also appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform.
The listing identifies the processor as Qualcomm SM8845, which corresponds to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset.
Other reported specifications include:
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
- RAM: Approximately 12GB.
- Operating system: Android 16.
- GPU: Adreno 829.
The device reportedly achieved 2,109 points in single-core testing and 8,586 points in multi-core testing.
These results come from a pre-release benchmarking entry and should not be considered final retail performance figures.
If these specifications remain unchanged, the Moto One could target the premium mid-range smartphone segment rather than compete directly with the most expensive flagship devices.
Motorola Could Be Reviving Its Moto One Series
The Moto One name is not entirely new. Motorola previously introduced smartphones under the One series beginning in 2018.
The lineup included devices such as the Motorola One, One Vision, One Action and One Fusion+.
The series offered Android smartphones with different camera configurations, display technologies and hardware capabilities.
The appearance of a new Moto One device could indicate that Motorola is considering bringing back this familiar branding.
However, the company has not officially confirmed whether the new smartphone represents a complete revival of the original One series.
Expected Launch Date and Availability
Motorola has not announced the official launch date, pricing or availability of the Moto One.
Its appearance in the Wireless Power Consortium database and Geekbench suggests that the device is progressing through pre-launch development and testing.
However, certification alone does not guarantee an immediate launch.
More information about the display, camera hardware, battery capacity, charging speed and regional availability is still awaited.
Conclusion
The leaked Motorola Moto One could become an interesting addition to the company's smartphone portfolio.
Its reported Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, possible 12GB RAM configuration and confirmed 15W Qi2 wireless charging indicate a device targeting performance-conscious smartphone buyers.
The absence of confirmed pricing and launch information means that its market positioning remains uncertain.
For now, the biggest development is the possible return of Motorola's Moto One branding, combined with modern hardware and wireless charging capabilities. Smartphone enthusiasts will need to wait for Motorola's official announcement to learn more about the device.
