for Motorola Edge 40 5G Case, Fashion Multicolor Magnetic Closure Leather Flip Case Cover with Card Holder for Motorola Edge 40 Pantone 5G (6.55”)

Product Information

The Motorola Edge 40’s display measures 6.55 inches and it’s a Full HD pOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, plus a small punch-hole selfie camera. It’s worth noting that the Motorola Edge 40 has a similar curved-edged display as the Motorola Edge 40 Pro. While many Android phones have slightly curved displays, I had a bit of an issue adjusting to this one in particular. Whether it’s because of the phone’s slightly thinner frame compared to larger phones, my fairly big hands, or the fact that I'm used to using much larger phones than the Edge 40, I found that the curved display edges made typing or gaming a little awkward, although if you have smaller hands, or don't hop between phones as often as I do, then this may not be an issue for you. Flip the phone over and you’ll find a high-res 32MP selfie camera with quad-pixel tech that more than suffices for casual selfies and video calls. In my time testing the phone, it was fast and responsive, with no lag. Whatever I was doing, I never once thought, "Hmm, this is annoying, I need more power." The Dimensity 8020 didn't call attention to itself at all – it just quietly got on with the tasks at hand without protest, and I consider that an admirable quality.

As for my personal experience of reviewing phones, I've been writing about and reviewing mobile technology since 2014. Prior to joining TechRadar, I worked at Digital Trends in the mobile section, and before that I was at Android Central, writing about Android phones on a daily basis. Motorola's issue with software remains the timeliness of updates, with the Edge 30 series being among the last Android phones to get Android 13. In contrast, the likes of Samsung and Oppo release updates rapidly after Google rolls them out to its Pixels. If rapid software updates are something you care about, you should look elsewhere. On the other hand, considering the dwindling excitement around Android updates – as evidenced by the Google IO 2023– it may not be much of an issue. It’s also a 5G chipset, ensuring you can take advantage of Australia’s fastest mobile broadband networks. As you’d expect, it only supports sub-6 GHz 5G and not the US-centric millimetre wave version.

Once again, if you want top-of-the-line excellence, be prepared to shell out for the Edge 40 Pro. While all aspects of the Edge 40’s performance are sufficient, you’re ultimately getting what you pay for.

Essentially, if you’re a fan of watching movies on the go, you’ll love what the Edge 40 Neo has to offer. Cameras Android 13 on the Motorola Edge 40 looks a lot like Google's. (Image credit: Michael Allison / Future) When it comes to photography, the Moto Edge 40 retains the 50 MP main shooter with optical image stabilisation and the same 1.55-inch sensor. It also switches from f/1.8 aperture to f/1.4, letting in more light but offering a slightly shallower depth of field. Overall, the Motorola’s Edge 40 design is aesthetically pleasing and well balanced, but you might want to give some thought to your choice of material, which in turn will dictate your choice of colors. The camera setup, and the main 50MP sensor in particular, performs well considering its price point, capturing not only detailed, vibrant images in well-lit conditions but in low-light scenarios too. It’s not quite up to the level of flagships or even the mid-range Pixel 7a, but it’s one of the better implementations in the budget phone market.

Motorola’s new Edge 40 is a pleasure to use

All up, you still score plenty of premium features at a mid-range price point, with the added bonus of a longer battery life and IP68 ruggedness to help protect your investment. It’s a solid mid-range handset but, if your sights are set a little higher, wait to see what else the Edge 40 range delivers in the months ahead. The only time I noticed any kind of slow-down was shortly after setting the phone up – but in all fairness, it was installing 90+ apps at the time. Once that was out of the way, the responsive performance resumed. Other than integrating it into my daily life as my main phone over the testing period, I also ran benchmarking apps to compare the Edge 40’s performance to other top Android phones. This included Geekbench 6, in which the Edge 40 landed an average single-core score of 1109 and an average multi-core score of 3578, as well as GFX bench.

When it comes to multimedia, the pOLED display offers deep, rich colours while bringing HDR content to life thanks to the high screen brightness. The whites may be too cool for some tastes, but you can easily adjust the colour temperature and saturation. Meanwhile, the earpiece doubles as a second speaker, so you can get true stereo sound with good stereo separation. While it retains the 50 MP main shooter, the overall camera array is scaled down from the Moto Edge 30. QualityAt the heart of the Motorola Edge 40 Neo is MediaTek’s mid-range Dimensity 7030, coupled with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage as standard – an impressive combination for the price tag.

The Classic Series 2.0 real leather flip wallet case cover by 32nd is designed exclusively for the Motorola Edge 40 Neo. Ensuring easy access to all your phones functions while maintaining its slim profile. The Motorola Edge 40 runs Motorola's MYUX software, powered by Android 13. It's a very Pixel-like OS that's clean and unobtrusive. It can’t quite reach the lofty heights of 4K@60fps or even 8K@24fps, but the 4K@30fps video is more than enough for capturing the moment, and thanks to OIS, it’s relatively shake-free too. Performance Performance is also surprisingly solid from the Dimensity 7030 chipset, likely aided by the plentiful 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage should be ample for most budget users.Next up is the YBROY Case for Motorola Edge 40 Pro.

They aren’t as good as the cameras on the much better-specced Motorola Edge 40 Pro, but they aren’t bad either. They're just fairly average. The Motorola Edge 40 is not the best camera phone; it’s not even the best one you can get from Motorola, nor is it second best, with the Edge 30 Ultra still on sale.
