Edge 40 review: Style and substance | Trusted Reviews Motorola Edge 40 review: Style and substance | Trusted Reviews

With a capacity of 4400 mAh, the Edge 40's battery has grown noticeably compared to the Edge 30 (4020 mAh), but is still not particularly large by midrange standards. The battery runtimes are nevertheless more than respectable due to energy-saving functions. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms).

Emissions - Good stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos

According to Motorola, the Edge 40's HDR10+ compatible OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels is supposed to have a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits. The smartphone even surpasses this mark in our tests, achieving up to 1345 cd/m² in the APL18 test. Elsewhere, the phone is curvy, not only in terms of the edges of its display that disappear seamlessly into the sandblasted aluminium frame but the rear edges and rounded corners too. It’s also very thin at just 7.6mm, further adding to that lightweight feel. This all adds to that premium, comfortable in-hand feel.

Accessories and Warranty - 68-watt power supply included

Motorola has equipped the Edge 40 with a dual-camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide camera. 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. The average temperature for the upper side under maximal load is 43.9 °C / 111 F, compared to the average of 32.7 °C / 91 F for the devices in the class Smartphone.

The Edge 40 still achieves a very good 1042 cd/m² and is thus practically on par with the Edge 40 Pro (1055 cd/m²). It clearly outperforms its Edge 30predecessor with its maximum brightness of 655 cd/m². With the brightness sensor deactivated, the OLED display achieves a maximum of 510 cd/m², and 3.41 cd/m² at the lowest brightness level.

It’s still incredibly lightweight – one of the lightest around at just 172g – and sports a new vegan leather finish. The display is excellent and there's no shortage of power, boosted by decent battery life and fast charging - with the charger included in the box. That makes for a great day-to-day experience of living with this phone. The Motorola Edge 40 stands out in the mid-range market not only due to its thin, lightweight design and unique vegan leather rear that completely covers the camera housing, but the experience it delivers.
