Motorola Edge 40 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Kshitij Pujari]()
Verdict
The Motorola Edge 40 stands out with its sleek design and impressive features, including an IP68 rating and wireless charging. Despite minor drawbacks including heating and less-than-ideal battery life, it`s a strong contender in the mid-range segment.
Pros
- Excellent design
- Decent display
- Refined, bloat-free UI
- Comes with IP68 certification
Cons
- Can overheat at times
- Battery life could be better
Design and display
+
Motorola Edge smartphones have adopted slim profiles and narrow designs over their past few iterations. The Motorola Edge 40 takes up on this and refines it further with a vegan leather back which is premium to the touch. Very few phones will be able to offer the kind of look being pulled off by the Edge 40 and it decidedly makes the device appear more expensive than it actually is. Also as mentioned above, the phone has an IP68 rating making it highly durable against water and dust. Motorola claims that the Edge 40 is the thinnest phone from its stable with this rating at just 7.6mm of thickness. I have the Nebula Green colour variant which adds to the device's visual appeal. The phone has a dual-camera setup on the back arranged vertically and a dual LED flash setup on the side. Finally the phone packs in Dolby Atmos-powered stereo speaker setup and a USB Type-C port at the bottom. With its highly lightweight in-hand feel, premium finish, and durability certifications, the Motorola Edge 40 is clearly a winner in the design department.

As far as optics are concerned, the phone comes with a 50MP OmniVision OV50A sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter. On the front is a 32MP selfie camera which is also an OmniVision lens. In short, the Edge 40 snaps reasonably good photos that are rich in detail and offer a wide dynamic range, expected in this price range. The default resolution is 12.5MP which combines four pixels into one for greater clarity although there is also a full resolution 50MP option as well. Apart from that I quite like the sensor's quick autofocus and shutter speeds for capturing fast-moving objects. Exposure levels are metered and can be manually adjusted to your satisfaction in the viewfinder. In terms of the colours, saturation levels remain a tad bit high but the overall tonality of most scenes can be considered neutral. For example, if the sky has a heightened shade of blue then the flora just below has controlled colours.

Performance and software

The Motorola Edge 40 comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 SoC, which is a shade lower in performance metrics than the 8100, released last year. At times the handset's thin design restricts its thermal envelope leading to some throttling. The phone does bang in good scores on benchmarking platforms with Antutu showing a result of 714,606 and Geekbench 6's multi-core test outputting 3,677. Despite this, the Edge 40 has a tendency to heat up a bit during strenuous tasks. All this to say your regular smartphone usage remains unaffected but something like playing BGMI for long periods of time at Extreme 60fps settings will burn through the battery rapidly while also introducing a bit of lag. The phone comes in a single 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage variant.

Battery
+
The Edge 40 packs in a 4,400mAh cell which is certainly a feat given the phone's super slim dimensions. While its capacity is more than the Edge 30, compared to some traditional 5,000mAh offerings from Realme or Xiaomi, the Edge 40 can seem a bit lacking. The device has a screen-on time of around 5 hours, which can be pushed to about six hours on moderate usage. I would call it just about acceptable, although you do have 68W charging that can juice up the phone in less than an hour. Impressively the phone also does 15W wireless charging which adds a bit of convenience.
