The Motorola Edge 40 has officially arrived in the European market, just days after the Edge 40 Pro made its debut. Priced at €550 (approximately Rs 49,499), the Motorola Edge 40 brings a premium set of specs — including a 144Hz OLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor, IP68 water resistance, and 68W fast charging — to a wider audience. Here is a full breakdown of everything you need to know.
Motorola Edge 40 Display and Design
The Motorola Edge 40 features a 6.55-inch FullHD+ OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. The panel runs at a 144Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate, making it one of the smoothest screens in its class. Brightness tops out at 1200 nits, and the display carries HDR10+ certification for richer colours and deeper contrast.
On the design front, the phone is available in three colour options in the European market: Nebula Green and Eclipse Black — both finished in vegan leather — and Lunar Blue in an acrylic finish. The device is IP68 certified, meaning it is fully resistant to dust and can withstand submersion in water.
Processor, RAM, and Storage
Under the hood, the Edge 40 runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 octa-core processor built on a 6-nanometre fabrication process. This chip is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The phone ships with Android 13 out of the box, and Motorola's near-stock interface keeps the experience clean and responsive.
Camera System
Photography on the Motorola Edge 40 is handled by a dual rear camera setup. The primary shooter is a 50-megapixel sensor with a large 1/1.5-inch sensor size and a wide f/1.4 aperture, enabling strong low-light performance. It is paired with a 13-megapixel macro-vision ultrawide lens with an f/2.2 aperture for wide-angle shots and close-up detail.
For selfies and video calls, the phone carries a 32-megapixel front camera with an f/2.4 aperture, capable of capturing sharp, detailed portraits in a variety of lighting conditions.
Battery and Charging
The Edge 40 is powered by a 4,400 mAh battery. Motorola has equipped it with 68W TurboPower fast charging, and the company claims that just 10 minutes on charge is enough to provide a full day of backup. The phone also supports 15W wireless charging, a relatively rare addition at this price point, adding flexibility for users who prefer cable-free top-ups.
Key Features at a Glance
- Support for 14 5G bands for broad network compatibility
- In-display fingerprint sensor for fast and secure unlocking
- IP68 certification for dust and water resistance
- Dual stereo speakers tuned with Dolby Atmos for immersive audio
