Motorola has come out to present two mobile phones in recent days, and the most important of them is the Moto X40 ; a very competent high-end that brings cutting-edge specifications to the table, where we can highlight the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and a 50MP triple camera.

Possibly this mobile ends up becoming the Motorola Edge 40 once it reaches the international market, so perhaps more than one is interested in knowing it. Similarly, you may also be interested in learning about the Moto G53 , which was introduced at the same time.

The Moto X40 begins its proposal with a 6.7-inch AMOLED curved screen with FullHD+ resolution (2,400 x 1,080 pixels) and a 165Hz refresh rate. It is a panel with curved corners, 10-bit color depth and support for the HDR10 + standard, so it meets the quality quota that we would expect from a mobile in this price range.

Another aspect that meets expectations is the processor. In a sense, it’s powered by the blazing new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 , a chip we’ll be getting pretty familiar with in 2023 as we’ll see it in almost every flagship. Be that as it may, the chip is accompanied by 8/12GB of RAM and 128/256/512GB of internal storage.

To power the terminal there is a 4,600mAh battery that is not surprising due to its capacity, but rather fast charging, reaching 125 watts , so in a matter of minutes it will be at full capacity.

The photographic section does not disappoint in the least. This breaks down as follows:

  • 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization
  • 50MP wide angle lens
  • 12MP depth sensor

Additionally, the selfie camera is a total surprise, boasting a 60MP front-facing sensor .

Lastly, the operating system that brings the Moto X40 to life is My UX, which is based on Android 13 . In terms of connectivity, we can say that it handles the following standards: 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC.

Availability and price

At the moment the Motorola Moto X40 is only official in China, where it was presented in two colors (blue and black) for a price that starts at 459 euros in its 8/128GB version.
