Motorola is wasting no time when it comes to its latest Motorola Edge 40 Pro phone, which promises to be a top-notch device. Despite some recent wins with the 2022 Razr and Edge 30 ProMotorola hasn’t really been able to reclaim its flagship phone reputation among tech geeks, but this phone can do it.
The Motorola Edge 40 Pro is very curved, with a barely noticeable square corner. The body is made of aluminum, the back panel is covered with anti-reflective glass, and the screen is covered with Gorilla Glass Victus. It is available in two colors, Interstellar Black and Lunar Blue, and measures 8.59mm thick and weighs 199 grams. It may not be the most stylish, but it matches most of this year’s other flagship phones, and the IP68 rating means it’s also durable.

Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and 12GB of RAM with a choice of 256GB or 512GB storage. The battery has a slightly smaller-than-expected 4,600 mAh capacity, but it charges with Motorola’s 125W TurboPower fast charge, which cuts the battery completely in 23 minutes. Motorola claims that a six-minute fast charge will last for a day of use. The Edge 40 Pro also supports 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse charging.
What else? The display is a 6.67-inch pOLED with a 165Hz refresh rate, the phone has two stereo speakers, 5G, and a triple-lens camera on the back. It is topped by a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization, joined by a 50MP wide-angle camera and a 12MP portrait camera. On the front is a 60MP selfie camera. In terms of video, the Edge 40 Pro can record 8K video at 30fps or 4K HDR10+.
Special features include a 2x telephoto mode, a macro mode, and a suite of camcorder features, including a Night Vision setting for enhanced video in low light, horizon lock, autofocus tracking, and portrait video. Android 13 is installed on Edge 40 Pro and supports ThinkShield and Moto Secure security systems, Motorola Ready For platform for connectivity, and is also compatible with Lenovo ThinkReality A3 smart glasses for business use.
The Motorola Edge 40 Pro has been announced for the UK and Europe so far. It costs £800, or about $990, which is comparable to the OnePlus 11 and Samsung Galaxy S23.
Considering the specifications, this is a big deal, but a lot of the phone’s success will depend on how long Motorola maintains the software, as well as the quality of the camera. It will be available from Motorola’s own online store very soon.
