HIGHLIGHTS
* Moto Edge 40 Pro renders have been leaked before launch.
* The design appears very similar to the Moto X40 in China.
* Moto had previously launched the Moto X30 as Edge 30 Pro globally.
Motorola has a penchant for making great budget Android phones and upper-midrange devices, but they seldom captivate public attention.
The Motorola Moto X40 was one such phone that flew under the radar when it made its China debut in December.
The phone’s launch is imminent in the international market, and a few leaked renders are now shaping our expectations.
The Moto X40 Pro could be re-badged as the Edge 40 Pro for the rest of the world, being Motorola’s first phone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.
Now, thanks to leaker Evan Blass on Twitter, we have our first look at the phone’s possible design.
Motorola may no longer be the market leader that it once was decades ago, but that has not stopped the brand from launching a range of interesting devices in the smartphone space. Case in point — at the recently concluded Mobile World Congress 2023, Moto showcased a rollable smartphone concept, resembling its Rizr range of sliding mobile phones from decades ago. Alongside such bold experiments, the brand also launches regular devices, and the latest of the bunch is expected to be Moto Edge 40 Pro.
Moto Edge 40 Pro: what we know so far
According to a report by Android Police, citing renders published online on Twitter by noted tipster Evan Blass, the Moto Edge 40 Pro is expected to launch in global markets soon.
Ahead of this launch, Blass shared a host of renders of the smartphone on Twitter, showcasing its full design including the rear camera module.
The design appears unchanged from the China-exclusive X40, with a curved display wrapping around the vertical edges, a triple-camera array in a square camera bump with “50MP” branding, and ridiculously thin bezels all around.
The Moto Edge 40 Pro could use its Chinese sibling’s 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display with a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, IP68 water and dust resistance, and a USB-C port.
If the dimensions remain unchanged, the phone could measure 6.35 × 2.9 × 0.33 inches and weigh just 7.02 ounces.
A 4,600mAh battery should provide sufficient screen-on time and 125W wired fast charging should be standard, along with support for 15W wireless and reverse wireless charging.
The camera array should comprise a 50MP f/1.9 primary camera with OIS, another 50MP ultrawide, and a 12MP macro telephoto lens, with selfie duties handled by a 60MP front-facing camera.
While Blass or Android Police did not tip any specifications, if the X40 and Edge 40 Pro turn out to be the same, then we have a host of specifications at hand.
These include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, a 6.7-inch 165Hz full HD+ display, a 50MP + 50MP + 12MP triple rear camera setup with 2x optical zoom, Wi-Fi 6E and 5G connectivity, and a 4,600mAh battery with 125W fast charging.
In Motorola’s product lineup, the Edge 40 Pro should be marketed as a successor for the Edge 30 Pro, which made its way stateside as the Edge+ in 2022.
We hope to see this phone in the flesh sometime soon, but there’s no telling when that might be.
