The Motorola Edge 40 Pro has officially arrived on the global stage, bringing a flagship-grade experience anchored by a blistering 125W fast charge, a 60MP selfie camera, and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. Launched first in the European market, the Edge 40 Pro signals Motorola's intent to compete at the very top of the smartphone ladder, with an India launch expected in the coming months.
Motorola Edge 40 Pro: Design and Display
The Edge 40 Pro sports a quad curved front design built on an aluminum frame. Both the front and back panels are shielded by 3D Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, and Motorola has applied an anti-fingerprint coating so the handset stays smudge-free during everyday use. The phone carries an IP68 rating, making it dust and water resistant. It measures 161.16 x 74 x 8.59 mm and weighs 199 grams.
Up front is a 6.67-inch FullHD+ POLED punch-hole display with a 1080 x 2400 pixel resolution running at a smooth 165 Hz refresh rate. An in-display fingerprint sensor, also protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, handles biometric unlocking without any rear-mounted sensor cluttering the back.
Performance and Software
Powering the Edge 40 Pro is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, built on a 4-nanometer fabrication process. This is paired with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 internal storage — plenty of headroom for heavy multitasking and large media libraries. The phone ships with Android 13 layered with Motorola's My UX 4.0 skin, which stays close to stock Android while adding a handful of Moto-specific gestures and customisations.
Camera: 60MP Selfie and Triple Rear Setup
Photography is a clear highlight of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro. The front camera is a 60 MP shooter with an F/2.2 aperture, aimed at delivering crisp, detailed selfies and high-resolution video calls. On the back, Motorola has configured a triple-camera array:
- Primary: 50 MP, F/1.8 aperture
- Ultra-wide: 50 MP, 114-degree field of view, F/2.2 aperture
- Telephoto: 12 MP, F/1.6 aperture
The wide F/1.6 aperture on the telephoto lens is notably bright, which should help with low-light zoom shots.
Battery and Charging
The Edge 40 Pro packs a 4,600 mAh battery and supports three charging methods. The headline feature is 125W wired fast charging, which Motorola says can take the battery from 0 to 50% in just 7 minutes and reach a full charge in approximately 20 minutes. Beyond wired charging, the phone also supports 15W wireless charging and 8W reverse wireless charging, letting you top up compatible accessories directly from the phone.
Connectivity
The Edge 40 Pro is a dual-SIM device with support for both 5G and 4G networks. Motorola has included 14 5G bands — covering global frequencies as well as bands used in the Indian market. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
