Editorial report

Motorola Edge 40 Neo technical sheet

The Motorola Edge 40 Neo suits anyone who values a smooth display and a light phone; its performance is typical of phones from its time. The 6.55-inch pOLED display runs at 144 Hz, among the highest refresh rates of its time, and its 402 ppi density is better than most. At 172 g, the phone is also among the lightest.

The display fills nearly the entire front, with a 90.1% screen-to-body ratio among the highest of its time. The phone also resists water and dust with an IP68 rating. Those features make it a compelling fit for buyers after a light device with a prominent screen.

Performance remains typical, while this version pairs 12 GB RAM with 256 GB storage. The 50 MP main camera has a 1/1.55-inch sensor, larger than in most phones of its time, and optical image stabilization; a 13 MP ultrawide camera is also included. The 5000 mAh battery has typical capacity for its time, but 68 W charging is faster than most phones of its time offer. Connectivity is among the best, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC.

The Edge 40 Neo’s strongest points are its screen, low weight and connectivity. It is a well-rounded choice for anyone who puts those features ahead of performance that does not rise above the norm.
