Editorial report

Motorola Moto X40 technical sheet

The Motorola Moto X40 suits anyone looking for a high-performance Android phone with a fast-refresh display and powerful wired charging. Its trade-off is a 4,600 mAh battery, with less capacity than most phones of its time.

The 6.7-inch OLED display runs at 165 Hz, a refresh rate among the best of its time; its 500-nit peak brightness is lower than that of most phones from the period. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage make for a strong hardware package: RAM and storage exceed what most phones offered, and its 1,332,050 AnTuTu points put performance among the best of its time. Storage is not expandable.

For photography, the 50 MP main camera includes optical image stabilization, while the telephoto camera provides 2x optical zoom, among the greatest ranges on phones of its time. The main camera's f/1.9 aperture is less bright than that of most. Connectivity is among the best, with Wi-Fi 7, 5G and NFC. Wired charging at 125 W and wireless charging at 15 W also rank among the strongest offerings of the period, despite the lower battery capacity. With IP68 protection, Android 13 and an overall NeoScore of 7.7, the Moto X40 is best suited to buyers who prioritize performance, a fast display and charging.
