Editorial report
Motorola Edge 40 technical sheet
The Motorola Edge 40 suits buyers who want a light, slim phone with a standout display and fast charging. Its main trade-off is the 4400 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time.
Its 6.55″ pOLED display runs at 144 Hz, among the best rates of its time, and combines 402 ppi with 1200 nits. The 90.8% usable surface is also among the best. The body weighs 167 g and is 7.6 mm thick, while IP68 protection covers dust and water resistance.
The 50 MP main camera uses a 1/1.55″ sensor better than most and an f/1.4 aperture among the best, alongside optical stabilization. It records 4K at 30 fps. The Dimensity 8020 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage puts the hardware above most phones of its time. 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and eSIM give connectivity the same standing. 68 W fast charging is better than most, while 15 W wireless charging is among the best.
With a NeoScore of 7.3, the Edge 40 stands better than most phones of its time and is especially compelling for display, weight and camera priorities. Its launch price was typical, but the phone is a bargain.
