The 50 MP main camera uses the OmniVision OV50A as the image sensor and takes 12 MP shots via 4-in-1 pixel binning. Thanks to its large aperture of f/2.4 and the optical image stabilizer, it takes surprisingly good and low-noise shots in low residual light. Daytime photos are also convincing with natural colors and a lot of detail, even in dark areas of the image. Motorola's logo is one of the most distinctive in the world of mobile phones. Having been one of the first companies to cut the wire, everyone should be aware of the impact that Motorola has had on the smartphone industry. That's perhaps not been so pronounced in the era of the modern smartphone, with the Moto G - a decade ago - perhaps being its biggest moment in Android phones. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 1% of all devices are better.

The Motorola Edge 40 looks to take on the busy mid-range market with key features including a lightweight, thin design, a responsive 6.55-inch 144Hz display, a 50MP main camera with the widest aperture around and rapid 68W charging. Equipped with impressive features and decent specifications, the Motorola Edge 40 is a perfect choice that is available at a starting price of Rs 34,999. The phone offers a slip-free grip as it is light in weight and is easy to carry. Through headphones the phone can automatically select particular Dolby Atmos modes so you can customise the sound. The duplication of a Dolby Atmos app and a spatial audio toggle is confusing, but in our experience, you'll get the most immersive sound by enabling both. Video performance is rather solid with OIS smoothing out jittery hand movements – at least when using the main rear sensor – with fun video modes like Portrait Video and a unique stabilisation mode that’ll work when rotated a full 360 degrees further improving the experience. It caps out at 4K@30fps both on the front and rear, with the former being fairly unique in the mid-range market. Performance The Motorola Edge 40’s display measures 6.55 inches and it’s a Full HD pOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, plus a small punch-hole selfie camera.All these phones are perfectly good in their own right, although the Motorola Edge 40 offers better battery life and faster charging than the Pixel 7a, and snappier performance than the Nothing Phone 1 (and looks more stylish in my opinion); while you’ll prefer it over the iPhone 13 mini if you like your phones to be of a more conventional size.

It’s just frustrating that the phone’s auto-refresh rate setting doesn’t ever crank it up to the full 144Hz, instead capping out at 120Hz. If you want the smoothest refresh rate possible, it does come at the cost of overall battery life. It’s only when running truly demanding games, however, with no such overheating when playing simpler games like Stardew Valley and Survivor.io for over half an hour. In my time testing the phone, it was fast and responsive, with no lag. Whatever I was doing, I never once thought, "Hmm, this is annoying, I need more power." The Dimensity 8020 didn't call attention to itself at all – it just quietly got on with the tasks at hand without protest, and I consider that an admirable quality. We test every mobile phone we review thoroughly. We use industry-standard tests to compare features properly and we use the phone as our main device over the review period. We’ll always tell you what we find and we never, ever, accept money to review a product. The design is closely related to that of the Moto Edge 30 Fusion with the design and build much the same, but it boosts the waterproofing over the older phone which was only IP52.The Motorola Edge 40 step up in positioning over the Motorola Edge 30, instead looking more like an update of the Edge 30 Fusion. This makes it closer to the flagship Edge 40 Pro, which is perhaps reflected in the asking price. At this price, it's designed to undercut flagship phones without too many compromises in performance - and in reality, there aren't too many compromises. This phone runs smooth, charges fast and puts in a good showing for itself. If you're looking for a compact smartphone offering great performance, then it's certainly worth considering the Edge 40. This is all confirmed by benchmark tests too, with the Edge 40 scoring 3542 points in the Geekbench 6 multi-core test. For context, the Google Pixel 6a scored 2900, while the slightly cheaper Samsung Galaxy A54 scored 2703. In fact, it’s not far from the Realme GT 3’s 3842 and that uses the (year old) flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
