Moto Edge 40 features a 6.55-inch FHD+ 144Hz pOLED display with HDR10+ support, which makes it great for watching movies and playing games. The display has a resolution of 1080x2400 pixels, with a pixel density of 402ppi. The phone has an 8-bit display which is not the latest technology but still delivers a good viewing experience. The 144Hz display on the device definitely gives you an edge over other devices by delivering a smooth experience.
The Edge 40 features a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset, rebranded Dimensity 1100. It comes with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM which is a bit of a letdown and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The device should not have a problem handling multi-tasking. To give an idea about performance of Dimensity 8020, its performance is somewhat similar to Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 but with better GPU Performance.
One of the highlights of the Motorola Edge 40 is its camera setup. It has a dual-camera setup on the rear, including a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 13MP ultrawide angle lens with a 120-degree field of view which doubles up as a macro sensor. The phone has a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
The device has a 4400mAh battery, which should provide enough power to last all day if you're not a heavy user. Additionally, it supports 68W fast charging, which is decent. The phone also has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, which should provide peace of mind to users who may accidentally expose the phone to water.

The phone runs on MyUX, which is Motorola's take on Android 13. The software comes with several customizations and features that should make the user experience more enjoyable. The phone has Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and dual-SIM (1 nano SIM + 1 eSIM) support. The device has an aluminum frame, and comes wtih a leather or plastic back. Motorola Edge 40 comes in three color variants to choose from: Eclipse Black, Nebula Green, and Lunar Blue.
The device comes with a 68W TurboPower charger, a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable, a SIM tool, and a protective case, which is a welcome addition. The phone weighs 167g and is 7.49mm thick, making it easy to carry around.
In conclusion, the device is good for customers looking for a sleek and light-weight device at this price point. The only downside to the Motorola Edge 40 is its price, which may be a bit steep for some customers. Additionally, while Motorola has made strides in improving its software, there is still room for improvement in terms of timely updates.
