Editorial report

Motorola X40 12 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet

The Motorola X40 suits buyers looking for a high-spec Android phone with fast charging, but its 4,600 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 125 W fast charging is among the most powerful of its time, and it also supports 15 W wireless charging.

The 6.7-inch OLED display has a resolution of 1,080 × 2,400 px and a 165 Hz refresh rate, among the highest in phones of its time. Its 90% screen-to-body ratio is also among the highest. Performance is better than most phones launched around the same time, and the AnTuTu score of 1,753,149 is among the best. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the X40 is also sold in 12 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 512 GB configurations.

For photography, the main camera's 50 MP sensor measures 1/1.55 inches, larger than that of most phones of its time. Its f/1.9 aperture is less bright than most. The phone also has a 50 MP ultrawide camera and a 12 MP telephoto camera. Connectivity is better than most phones of its time, with 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3. It has IP68 resistance and Android 13, but no Google Services. With an overall NeoScore of 7.6, the X40 stands out for its display, cameras and charging, provided its lower battery capacity and lack of Google Services fit the buyer's priorities.
