I got my wife a Motorola Edge 40 Pro. She is very happy with the pictures. Especially at night, she got better pictures than iPhones and Samsung phones. She adores the Motorola shortcuts and gestures. Also, she's a businesswoman and the 125W fast charging is absolute awesome. When you plug the charger in it looks like it's counting random numbers, not charging :)) .
I see in this days a lot of people speak about the camera. Much more than anything. look at the whole phone that it presents, not just at a camera that you can always replace with a much better performing one from a DSLR or mirrorless. a good camera on a smartphone really matters, but still, you can't judge a phone just from this point of view. the camera offered by the Edge 40 Pro is a good one. On the video side, it behaves really well, very good stabilization. Overall 165Hz, 125w charging, OLED display, IP68, Dolby Atmos, Dolby vision, I think it offers a good price-quality ratio.
This phone costs half of what a Galaxy S23 Ultra costs. It has same specs, except for the cameras. Are the cameras worth twice the price? Not for most people, especially for people who don't live on social media. And this still has amazing cameras, can even do 4k60 on the front camera.
i think there was some issues of importing photos in this review because i refuse to believe that there's a camera system taking such bad pictures in 2023-2024
hi gsmarena, would you please include a section in your reviews about haptic feedback? You sometimes mention it, but I would love to see it in every reviews! 😊 For me it is usually the display quality, speakers quality, battery life and haptic feedback when I am deciding to buy a new phone. Thanks! 👍
Protip for moto owners - the navigation buttons at the bottom can be changed by bypassing the settings by pulling the settings widget "3 buttons" to the desktop (option under to select under "shortcut to specific settings") - you will then enter a submenu that is not normally available in the normal settings 😃
I do like the price point that Moto are hitting, but when they are competing with phones like OnePlus and pixel pro, I really think they need a stand out feature. I'd love to see them bring back expandable memory slot and headphone jack, wouldn't cost them much but would be something that makes them stand out. The lackluster camera is nothing really when you can run a gcam port. They also need to sort out their security and OS updates, they are way to slow and alot of the time they flat out skip months at a time
According to DxOMark this placed within a few points of the S23+ in the camera comparison, and beats it in both battery and charging speeds, I think stock android is probably the best skin so at 799 for the Edge+ 512GB (the US variant coming this month) its an awesome deal.
Reason why flagship phones don't have expandable storage is that micro sds are considerably slower than the onboard storage and would in fact actually slow down the phone if it were used, hurting customers experience
@@LTEAndroid Phones install speed critical stuff on internal memory anyway. Only thing you can store on SD card are photos, documents and other media. It doesn't slow down the phone. Not including SD card slot is way to charge premium for higher internal memory models.
wow that is genius and I didn't know that exist thanks dude. I look forward to trying the google camera apk and seeing if that software works well on other android devices. But going through with what you said, I think you might as well get a Sony, that is the only phone I know that has both a headphone jack and a SD card slot. And with this gcam if it is legit will help solve sony's auto photos instead of it needing to be always done manually.
Wish you'd spend as much time on the Ready For desktop mode that you glossed over in a single word as was spent on the cameras. Sick of every review being little more than a camera review while ignoring features that are actually different and provide exceptional functionality.
Everyone talking about camera quality ... but if you compare phones in the same 700e range now ... there is no competition. This phone is far the best. If you go 1000e + then you get better camera quality.
People just love to complain, comparing Motorola flagship to other brands flagship which often cost $1000+ is unfair as there'll be obvious reason why the Moto cost way less...in this case the camera (which doesn't even bad it'll do the job just fine).
especially when the previous versions had periscopes 🤦♂️, they are like oppo which settled for 2x for two generations after a successful find x2 pro/reno 10x zoom
Honestly in terms of specs the Motorola delivers a lot, but it lacks of a unique selling point. Something special that makes it stand out in a crowd of flagships, which is why it is not as popular.
The only thing that Motorola can do is price this phone really aggressively. They ask for flagship prices with a decent camera which is why Motorola isn't everyone's choice or recommendation.
I think Motorola gets overlooked because they always releasing these low-budget slightly to mid-range devices that all look the same perform the same cameras the same. Whenever they release devices like this on the higher-end a lot of people aren't ready for these devices because they're overshadowed by the galaxy s20 ultra-zoom of the world the Google pixel pros of the world the iPhone pro Max's of the world. These devices don't really get talked about and even rarely reviewed because of Samsung Apple and Google chokehold on all the consumers. I have the Motorola edge 30 fusion I am shocked that it doesn't get a lot of credit or how good it is for the pricing. Who knows that might change with the release of this current higher end device from Motorola
Olá , sou do brasil ... Tambem possuo um Edge 30 Fusion , aqui no pais nao tem nenhum celular para bater o preço e o beneficio dele , cameras traseiras sao as mesmas deste topo de linha ( com excessao da telephoto) e a frontal ser 32MPx, a Motorola é muito competente mas temos que saber escolher o celular perante o beneficio e preço e nao sair comprando o mais caro do momento
moto is offering good phones in case of designs, display, performance and software, but there has always been downside in camera and software updates if they can get this fixed they will crush competition
Look at it as them intentionally nerfing themselves. I've been using an Edge 20 Pro for some time now and gcam does wonders for the camera. Don't get me started on the software. The recent update to android 13 was a thing of beauty. The only thing stopping me from fully getting into it was the lack of a headphone jack.
@@avatarspirit57 bruh really? What good is a camera if you have to use Gcam 😂, and their software updates are so so late and they don’t even give 2 years of updates on their midrange smartphone
Gonna wait on it a bit. In my country it's only being sold WITHOUT the 125W charger in the box...granted price is below msrp but still feels like a rip-off, probably because retailers keep the msrp on display making it look like the phone is on sale. Pretty shitty tactic and i know i can't blame Motorola on this, it's the retailers
No, I wouldn't say it 'destroys' the Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixels' Tensor 2 chip is more than a match for the Snapdragon, the Pixel has a better screen (no phone needs a 144hz refresh rate, let alone 165hz.) The Pixel will get updates before the Motorola does, and it's a far better looking phone compared to the Motorola snoozefest. Plus the Pixel 7 Pro takes some of the best photos of any phone right now.
nope, moto doesnt even have the basics to destroy the pixel 7 pro. people buying smartphones at this price usually look for a good camera and software, something the moto lacks. a phone with a 165hz screen that doesnt even reach 165hz in auto mode isnt even remotely close to matching the base model pixel 7, let alone the 7 pro

I have an Edge 30 Pro coming from a Motorola One Zoom. I loved the camera on that one (3x Telephoto was especially nice). Really not liking the heavy contrast on the newer models. Outdoor and night shots look solid, but all indoor shots have darker colors to them which is annoying.
Why are the making phones with 165hz when the screen res is only 1080p ? 1440p is the first thing I look for in a phone. 90hz is enough for me. Text doesn't look that sharp on a 400ppi screen.
For ppl saying "just install Gcam" It's been a year and if I go in xda now there is a post describing the best gcam port and there's like 47 caveats to it, so yeah unfortunately there's no rock solid solution for moto's camera issues

With Android 14, the EDGE 40 Pro, Motorola's flagship, should be improved and customized (as all other cell phone brands do) in various ways, for example: the alarm clock that does not work in energy saving mode or with the cell phone turned off; the photo gallery which has few editing functions and does not allow you to go back; photographic digital zoom optimization with AI; etc.
Moto Edge 40 pro is PRO in almost everything except cameras. But it offers other "bonuses" in return: charger, ready for, etc. I like the slim form factor. If you like drawing, the Samsung Ultra is the one. I like both. Mho (my humble opinion).
that's what I do with my moto but it isn't perfect nor a replacement. it might not be completely stable or make photos better in all situations, processing might take longer and video/stabilitzation are usually better on stock camera
What good is 3 year OS upgrade support if it takes 3 years to receive a single OS update? Speaking from my experience with Lenovo moto phones, moto never again ;)
Hey will another xiaomi phone I hope you take a look at Is the xiaomi 12 turbo it's got the snapdragon 7 plus gen 2 at the moment it's only available in China I'm hoping that xiaomi will release it globally
Why don't they fix their cameras? I don't understand, they are making good phones, just fix cameras and updates, is it that tough? Don't they have an r&d team?

@@wausjackbauer128 lenovo doesn't know how to optimise the camera as per hardware capabilities due to which they lag behind but before lenovo they had good cameras
I have Edge 30 Pro and I not happy with it. Software update is too slow and has many bugs. Android 13 update make it worse. It has oled but disable aod function. My next phone will not Moto anymore. :(
I really like this phone but I'm disappointed that it's only in boring black. I dont mind the back being black but only if the side rails are a silver metal color brushed or shiny. They dont seem to make that simple classy color scheme anymore for some reason. When you make the metal rails black too its another level boring
what is the use of a 165hz refresh rate? even the most competitive gaming phones utilize 120 or 144hz, there is only so much you can actually notice on a limited space display like a phone screen. and it doesnt even reach 165hz on auto mode. moto should have put more research and money on the cameras and software instead of using it in a gimmick that users wont even be able to tell the difference
@@djdelarosa25 i can't agree with you, i frequently get every update on my G30. The march one too. Yeah, you can expect 1 or 2 week later for these, but you definetly get it.
@@patachumon compact means you can use it with one hand. Do you know what is compact? Under 6", like the Zenfone 9 🙂 Although yeah, it is not as tall as the Edge, but it is still not compact.
Why do so many empty heads care so much about the camera these days? Most people aren't even professional photographers and there is no difference between 4k and 1440p on a 6-7 inch phone. Not even mentioning the human aspect, 165 hz is just a waste of energy. Ridiculous, this phone ticks all the boxes. What your looking for is not a phone but a better life. Only if people spent more attention to improving themselves and not just their possessions, this world won't be such a shitty place. A world where someone who kicks balls or sings for a living is more valued than those who saves lives. Such a pitty.
As a huge fan of your channel I want to ask you a question that would make me choose my next flagship purchase From your usage & your pure unbiased opinion can you tell me which is more smoother in everyday usage & which has better optimizatied animation Motorola edge 40 pro or s23 ultra I don't need a pushing limit camera All I need is the smoothest experience that I can get from Android experience So, I hope you answer Your answer will make my decision So,it is much appreciated Thank in advance
Either will do. One UI 5.1 brings big optimisations to the S23 Ultra. I watched a review and he said that 120Hz is the sweet spot for most people. This might help, but you can watch GSMArena's review of the S23 Ultra.
Do not buy Motorola it's updates situation is shameful. Moto edge 30 series is yet to receive Android 13 update. Plus security update is still at 1February recieved at March end.
Watching edge 40 pro on my edge 30 pro 🥲 I love Moto's software of stock Android plus some moto features and speed+battery on moto phones are great too... I will try it out once price drops 😛
@@user-mj9ol4bz1l that was a great phone by moto not sure how's battery life on that now surely degraded a bit but when i owned it i loved that phone battery was fine too with 2730mah 😊 gcam does wonders in moto z2 force plz try it.
I think I'll wait for the moto 40 ultra and see what it offers. Calling a phone a pro with sub standard cameras is unforgivable especially if your offering the latest snap dragon gen 2 chipset...

Hi are you going to review the Motorola edge 40 neo
I always respect moto...love the new razr flip also💯💯💯
Impressive BUT I am so over curved display
GSMArena is Best...Love you❤GSMArena❤
i like that they are providing usb pd support.
can you compare it with google pixel 7 pro ???????
If you dont take pictures is a solid fast smartphone!🙄...could be perfect for me
what is the use of a 165hz refresh rate? even the most competitive gaming phones utilize 120 or 144hz, there is only so much you can actually notice on a limited space display like a phone screen. and it doesnt even reach 165hz on auto mode. moto should have put more research and money on the cameras and software instead of using it in a gimmick that users wont even be able to tell the difference
When is it getting released in dubai?
If that phone had good cameras and micro SD card expansion and supported SDXC I'd 100% buy it.
My last one first into flames a week ago almost in my hands
i wish this phone came officially in my country :(
Any one know the release of Moto Edge 40??
@GSMArenaOfficial Tablets lineup is long due. Both budget & high-end. A comparative review is a must.
which phone 0 to 30 min full charge & excellent Vedio quality under 350 euro?
Ook, in your opinion better this or Oneplus 11???
Now 10 bit or 12 bit colors overlooked by OEMs they are focusing mainly on refresh rate.
it has a 10bit display
What about the version in USA?
How long does it take to fully charge?
@@donaldchristtrump567 Really? Less than 30 minutes?
I've been really happy with my 2022 30 pro Motorola
Every time Motorola flagships have an average camera. They should do something about that.
When does the 512gb come out in the UK?
Would it kill you to finish the Find X6 Pro review?
One thing i would definetly mention is that it costs much less than a Galaxy s23. It is WAY CHEAPER!
Correct
And it's better
Moto software support is sketchy, though. They take so long to release updates.
@@djdelarosa25 i can't agree with you, i frequently get every update on my G30. The march one too. Yeah, you can expect 1 or 2 week later for these, but you definetly get it.
@@patachumon the only upper hand Samsung has is the camera. This phone has SD 8+ gen 2 too.
@@patachumon compact means you can use it with one hand. Do you know what is compact? Under 6", like the Zenfone 9 🙂 Although yeah, it is not as tall as the Edge, but it is still not compact.
Buy the Chinese version of this Edge 40, the X40 at $500 and flash the international rom on it.
How many years of software support/android updates ?
3/4
Why do so many empty heads care so much about the camera these days?
Most people aren't even professional photographers and there is no difference between 4k and 1440p on a 6-7 inch phone.
Not even mentioning the human aspect, 165 hz is just a waste of energy. Ridiculous, this phone ticks all the boxes. What your looking for is not a phone but a better life.
Only if people spent more attention to improving themselves and not just their possessions, this world won't be such a shitty place.
A world where someone who kicks balls or sings for a living is more valued than those who saves lives. Such a pitty.
Calm down, it's not that deep...
I want flat design industrial like iphone
Does this phone come with a factory fitted screen protector at all please?
Nope, but gorilla glass victus doing its job well. Just a few minor scratches after 7 months of moderate usage, with no screen protector
beautiful design ❤️
As a huge fan of your channel I want to ask you a question that would make me choose my next flagship purchase
From your usage & your pure unbiased opinion can you tell me which is more smoother in everyday usage & which has better optimizatied animation
Motorola edge 40 pro or s23 ultra
I don't need a pushing limit camera
All I need is the smoothest experience that I can get from Android experience
So, I hope you answer
Your answer will make my decision
So,it is much appreciated
Thank in advance
Either will do. One UI 5.1 brings big optimisations to the S23 Ultra.
I watched a review and he said that 120Hz is the sweet spot for most people.
This might help, but you can watch GSMArena's review of the S23 Ultra.
Both will do what you need it too. I personally use an s20+ ànd I have no làgs or stutters using the phone.
I'd lean more towards the s23 ultra because of additional features like the spen and probably an overall better display and a pretty good camera setup
The s23 ultra surely + its years of software support
@@youngleon25 Ultra costs alot of money. Nobody should be buying that.
Very good hardware, I worry about the software tho
Lenovo is terrible for updates 3 updates a year and after 2 years 1 patch a year . Not worth the money
when it will launch in india????/?
When it come in India???
what color it have?
Do not buy Motorola it's updates situation is shameful.
Moto edge 30 series is yet to receive Android 13 update. Plus security update is still at 1February recieved at March end.
Watching edge 40 pro on my edge 30 pro 🥲 I love Moto's software of stock Android plus some moto features and speed+battery on moto phones are great too... I will try it out once price drops 😛
espera el 50 bro si tienes el 30 el 40 es como una version super ultra del 30 no es mucha diferencia
watching on a moto Z2 force im 13
@@user-mj9ol4bz1l that was a great phone by moto not sure how's battery life on that now surely degraded a bit but when i owned it i loved that phone battery was fine too with 2730mah 😊 gcam does wonders in moto z2 force plz try it.
Me too 😁
Watching in my Moto g stylus really I love Motorola phone
When it will release in India ?
I think I'll wait for the moto 40 ultra and see what it offers. Calling a phone a pro with sub standard cameras is unforgivable especially if your offering the latest snap dragon gen 2 chipset...
Camera is not everything
Pixel 7 pro also has 50 mpx camera
@@lordlopes2424 yes but the price is still way too high for that garbage camera
@@kbtriplesix
Bro you buying a smartphone only for the camera then buy an iPhone 14 pro max and a S23 ultra and let people have great smartphones
Relax and run gcam port lads 😅 at least its got decent hardware
The american version is better too. 5100mah with 512GB for $799. I dont twke pics or videos with my phone, so don't care about that.
Still no android 14 update..
in my country coast expensive and i will spend too much money for only 3 years support is quite stupid
no mention of headphones l jack
Is there always on display or it still need to knock on?
No always on display :(
hi i wanna phone to make You tube content ( cinematic videos ) which phone suitable for me
Years are passing day by day but Motorola is not doing great in camera. Motorola is very weak in camera image processing.
true
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Love Moto but their promotion of their products is rubbish. Never even heard of this till i was randomly scrolling through Amazon
Realme 9 reviews please
1:19 at that price 1080p is not acceptable
