Motorola Edge 40: Two-minute review
The Motorola Edge 40 is an elegant Android phone that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using for the duration of the review period, offering a svelte design, competent cameras, a long-lasting battery, and fast charging at a competitive price.
If the Motorola Edge 40 Pro is going up against the flagships of the smartphone world, the Edge 40 faces off against their more modestly-equipped siblings. It’s smaller than the Motorola Edge 40 Plus, has less powerful components and a less impressive set of cameras, but at £529 (approximately $690 / AU$1,015) compared with the Edge 40 Pro’s £799 (approximately $1,045 / AU$1,535) it’s a compelling package.
Certainly, you don't get all the bells and whistles of a much more expensive flagship phone thrown in here – there’s no there’s no dedicated zoom camera, variable refresh rate display, or 12GB of RAM, for example. but you do get an experience that’s mostly fast, fluid and reliable. Alongside the Edge 40 Pro, the Edge 40 is certainly one of the best Motorola phones you can buy.
