Introducing the Motorola Edge 40 Pro: A High-End Smartphone at an Affordable Price

Motorola is once again stepping up its game in the smartphone market with the release of its latest flagship model, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro. This new phone is set to hit the European market soon and will also be made available in South America in the coming weeks.

The Motorola Edge 40 Pro comes with impressive specs, starting with a base model that has 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This puts it on par with some of the best phones out there, including the latest flagship models from Samsung, Apple, and Google.

Despite its high-end specs, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro comes at a more affordable price point compared to other flagship phones. At €900/£800, it costs less than a Samsung Galaxy S23+. This makes it an attractive option for consumers who are looking for a high-quality smartphone without breaking the bank.

The Motorola Edge 40 Pro boasts a sleek and modern design, with a 6.7-inch OLED display that offers excellent color accuracy and a fast 144Hz refresh rate. It also features a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, which provides lightning-fast performance and smooth multitasking.

One of the standout features of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro is its impressive camera setup. It comes with a 108-megapixel primary camera, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and an 8-megapixel telephoto lens that offers 5x optical zoom. This makes it a great choice for anyone who loves to take photos and videos on their smartphone.

Other notable features of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro include 5G connectivity, a large 4500mAh battery that supports fast charging, and an IP52 rating for water and dust resistance. It also comes with the latest version of Android, making it a great choice for Android enthusiasts.

Overall, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro looks like an excellent option for anyone who is in the market for a new flagship smartphone. With its impressive specs, affordable price point, and sleek design, it could be the perfect choice for those who want a high-quality phone without having to spend a fortune.

And the Motorola has certain benefits. For instance, its 6.67" OLED display is a 10-bit panel with 165Hz revitalize rate. It does not have QHD+ resolution (it is FHD+) and isn't an LTPO panel, but the same opts for the Samsung too.

Both phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but as we currently mentioned, the Moto has more RAM. You can't also obtain 12GB on the Galaxy also if you were ready to pay extra. Also, the close-to-stock Android will be upgraded 4 times and the telephone is looking at 5 years of security spots. The extended software support is among the greatest staminas of Galaxy phones and Motorola aims to suit them.

The main 50MP video cams on both are pretty comparable (1.0µm pixels, OIS), the Moto obtains in advance with a 50MP extremely wide component (vs. 12MP) but drops behind with a 2x12MP tele video cam (vs. 3x 10MP). The 60MP selfie webcamera appearances great theoretically but does not have autofocus.

Finally, Motorola equipped the Professional with a somewhat smaller sized 4,600mAh battery (100mAh down on the S23+) but definitely trounces the Samsung in billing speed - the 125W wired adapter can do a complete charge in under 25 mins, the Samsung reaches 58% in thirty minutes. And unlike many phones with very fast wired billing, this does not come at the cost of cordless billing. It is just 15W but that is enough for most use situations.

The OnePlus 11 is one such instance - it does 100W over a cable, cordless billing was cut although it was present on the 10 Professional. Anyhow, this telephone presently opts for €850 for an 8/128GB unit and €920 for 16/256GB.

Unlike both Motorola and Samsung, the OnePlus 11 does have a QHD+ LTPO display (120Hz). Its 32MP 2x zoom video cam is better compared to the Edge's, not with its optics but with its greater resolution sensing unit that enables electronic zoom. This telephone is also set for 4 OS updates and 5 years of security spots.

The Msn and yahoo Pixel 7 Professional regularly drops to €800 (or much less) for a 12/128GB telephone and the 256GB option usually just costs a small premium. This too has a QHD+ LTPO display (120Hz) as well as packs an appropriate 5x periscope with a 48MP sensing unit behind it. Billing for the 5,000mAh battery is slow (23W wired and cordless) and the Tensor G2 is no suit for the Snapdragon in CPU and GPU efficiency (but it has lots of AI power).

What else? A Xiaomi 13 (the vanilla model, the Professional is a lot more expensive) may be a choice, setting you back €1,000 for an 8/256GB unit. Such as the Samsung, this just has an FHD+ non-LTPO display (120Hz), however its 6.36" dimension does help. This does not have the 1" sensing unit of its Professional brother or sister (rather it has a 50MP 1.0µm sensor), it also has an alright 3.2x 10MP tele video cam, plus 67W wired and 50W cordless billing for its 4,500mAh battery.

So, what's it mosting likely to be? Does the Motorola Side 40 Professional seem like simply the front runner you've been waiting on at simply the right price or has Moto missed out on the note? Were you expecting a less expensive Moto 40 rather?
