Moto edge 40 took my attention from Samsung Fe and as well as from nothing phone 1. I'll really go with moto edge 40 and will choose a well balanced phone even if I've to compromise from camera and software updates. Camera is not that bad in Moto and can go well in many scenarios. Moto has rocked this time 🔥
To me an average camera performance is much more adjustable than an inconsistent CPU performance. I have personally recommended many S21 FE, considering their requirements were camera and long term updates. But, personally, I have recommended my own brother Edge 40. Edge isn't necessarily better, but, inherently a much more balanced phone as compared to S21 FE.
Only the battery is an issue in S21 Fe but other than that, its just an killer option in the other compartments. Rounded corners are notorious for mistouches so i dont see that as an advantage and the lack of software updates and its late delivery and lack of better protection of screen just doesn't make the Edge 40 relevant to last longer in future.
Motorola has nailed the competition with Edge 40, One of the perfect smartphone of 2023. I would go with Moto as it balanced every aspects of a perfect smartphone with great end user experience.(samsung S21 Fe is a great device though). Eventhough motorola release updates a bit slow, they are bugs free and pretty reliable.
Yes the updates are bit slow,we have to wait approx 2 months.but one thing for sure Motorola updates are safe and don't cause any bugs or gets lines on displays.
@@Beautygalleryss yes bro, it's true, I don't know why people are crying over monthly updates . where most of the monthly updates provided by many brands are crippled and ruins the device experience. It's a lot better to have stable updates a bit late.🤗 .Motorola has build in hardware and software security features like Thinksheild and Motosecure for peace of mind 🕊️.No worries brothers.
Great review/comparison btw. I would definitely go for Edge 40 but the only thing that bugs me is inconsistent updates. I am more of an software geek would like to receive constant security updates and embellishments. Still Edge 40 trumps S21 FE.
I picked up the S21FE over the Edge 40 for the significantly better camera performance. Since my priority is that, as of now, I don't regret the decision. For most users who don't prioritise the best camera in the segment, Edge 40 would be the better option.
I am also planning to buy SAMSUNG S21FE 5G . Q.1 is there any heating issues while using the camera. Is camera stopps due to heat ? while using camera. Q.2 how is the potrait photos ? Comparable to Vivo x90 or dslr ? Q 3 . Actual Screen on time with 60Hz and 120Hz
@Shubham Katara 1. Heating is there as of now. Not only with camera usage, but even with regular constant usage. However, there were no performance issues, and the camera never turned off or never got any warning, nor did the phone with constant usage (unlike Pixel 7a). I used to use it without any case or protection. And with a case, you won't notice the heating in regular usage. 2. Cannot compare with dslr, even though the phone takes really good portraits. And I haven't used the vivo phone that you mentioned. 3. Battery and screen on time is just average, to be honest, at 120Hz, with always on display. An sot of 4.30 for moderate use and 5.30 for very light use. Putting it in 60Hz, without any always on display, sot should go for another 30 mins minimum.

There are some problems with Motorola as a brand no one talks about - 1. It's really tough to find a good quality screen protector and case for moto devices. 2. The resale market is very bad for moto devices, no one wants to buy moto devices, if they buy prices are low. 3. Service centres are easily available for samsung, but it's not easy to find good moto service centres. 4. If some feature of device is not working properly and just needs a small update to fix, it takes months of time for bug to be fixed. I dont care about fast Android updates but bug fixes are also very slow.

I've been using s21 fe for almost 2 months now. The only issue is the Exynos chipset it comes with. Not many people might have noticed but s21 fe is equipped with a higher version of DAC which when paired with decent wired earphones really enhances the music experience. Gaming can be a headache with this device. This Exynos chipset isn't very well optimised with 5G connectivity I would say as the connection isn't very stable as compared to my other 5G device that I have.

I personally picked edge 40, since camera is not my priority and google cam does a good job. Overall daily usage and features wise I am happy with edge 40.
I took moto edge 40 and used for few days and I can definitely see battery drain in moto. Also, overheating issue even in normal usage is quite common.

I have used Motorola, Samsung and right now using iPhone 13. My 2 cents on this matter is if you are on a tight budget, go for Motorola as you get stock Android experience which is amazing. If you have a budget of 40-50k or more, go for Samsung S series for Android or iPhone for iOS

Nice comparison Ershad bro. I watch your Tamil reviews regularly. I also like the way you explain and like it since your previous channel days. The details that you provide is great and I would suggest also including Android auto performance when comparing Android phones in mid-range and above segments. I see many phones heat up a lot when connected to Android auto. Also see if you can include gps accuracy info as well. As always, wonderful job by you and your team.
Both phones are really good n neck to neck at this price. Even though Motorola has litt8weak cameras i would go with Motorola for better battery and SoC. Cameras can be improved with GCAM probably
is camera2api enabled in moto edge 40 ? I have been searching here and there and found not a single legitimate video is available for gcam on moto edge 40😢😢😢
It's very difficult to get a Gcam mod for a Mediatek chip. It's not a moto problem, it's a MTK problem. That's one of the main reason why tech enthusiasts don't buy MTK phones
I bought samsung s21fe 1 year back and these are my cons:- it will heats up quickly like i am holding an hot pan and charging will also discharge fastly on heavy usage 5hr-5:30hr roughly,and while gaming for an hour it will starts the lag in the game like 60fps is starting after a 30min it will drop to 48fps(pokemon unite)and it catchs pretty heat and the software also gets slow while it heats and i you can see clear lag on camera department also while it gets hotter. Pros:-as he told in the video But i was satisfied with this❤
Gcam for Edge 40 is awesome infact its one of the best phones which supports all features of gcam, after tuning it takes better pics than even pixel 7a yes on front camera too, moto has promised that camera updates are coming so moto edge 40 anyday over s21fe
FI’ll just go for the edge 40 idc much about the cam tbh the edge display with 144hz faster charger in box better performance makes it a good deal for 30k …2..3y updates are fine
For my Mother I had taken Motorola Edge 40 over Samsung S21fe because of it's curved display it feels very good for them and also dual dolby atmos speakers and As my parents were using Samsung mobile way back since they changed to Nokia keypad phone I would recommend them edge 40 because I use to buy Samsung for them at minimum budget at very midrange phones like M51, A52 phones they don't provide premium look at all. Thanks to Motorola and wish it come back strong with very less cliché and hope best for future
Please make a detailed review of vivo V27 pro vs Samsung galaxy s 21 fe 😊. And if you are going to compare vivo V27 pro vs pixel 7a then please include samsung galaxy s 21 fe with the two phones please for me 😢😢😢
9:51 Samsung's GOS(APP) Runs in background always because when it encounters a game being played it takes care of the phone to prevent overheating, battery loss, frame drops and performance lag . So when it finds the phone throttling hard it automatically reduces the performance to tale care of the phone .So practically it's good for your phone..
The Exynos chip is THE major disadvantage for S21 FE. it's the root cause behind battery, heating and performance issues. other than that it's a good phone with great cameras and flagship features. from what I've seen so far edge 40 is better in most aspects other than camera. i may have had second thoughts about buying S21 FE if edge 40 was available 2 months ago. Moto even has IP68 and wireless charging. Another unbelievably stupid decision from Samsung on S21 FE is the lack of adaptive refresh rate. even their 15k phones has it. i know it can only switch between 60 Hz and 120 Hz but even that matters a lot for a phone with such a horrible battery life. there's an indirect way to simulate adaptive refresh rate through settings>routines, but still it's nowhere near the real thing. It's unfair. Another problem u might see is that 5g will be automatically turned off if u r downloading big files (since 5G is free now). it's basically because of the heat, so if anyone else face the same problem keep the phone under a fan when you're downloading. it works. also it might be a problem for all phones, not just Samsung. there are other factors like software and hardware reliability to consider if u r gonna use the phone for long. so maybe u should wait a couple of months to get detailed reviews before buying edge 40. S21 FE, other than the exynos issues, has been top notch in terms of general software and hardware quality. You will have the Samsung flagship experience.
@harek frnd if you don't care about battery backup and processor performance it's a great deal at 24.5k. You won't get a better overall camera phone under 40k. If you play games or want good battery back up, then look elsewhere.
Hey switching off the 120hz refresh rate will improve the battery life? And will a moderate user heating issue, no gaming just social media and Netflix?
@@gammacapitals5832 yes, reducing refresh rate will improve battery life and even help reduce heating. If you don't game, and use it in reduced 60 Hz refresh rate, then you should be fine in terms of over-heating and you'll be getting better battery life too. Only other ways you can heat up your phone is continuous usage of cameras and continuous 5G in high speeds. PS - don't expect it to be completely cool. It'll get warm from time to time even in normal usage. But definitely not to uncomfortable levels with your usage pattern.
Camera comparisons are not fair based on samples from stock cam.. Even a sub 10k Poco takes great portraits with a Gcam Mod.. None of the chinese brands have figured out tone reproduction or HDR anyway.. but those capable hardware work v well with Gcam Mod software.. I would love to see Ershad talking more about OMV sensor on Edge 40 vs IMX sensor on S21... One thing none of the youtubers have touched till now is Frame loss in 4k video.. Stock camera on my Realme Pro Plus is pathetic in 4k with stuttering frames... But record the same on Open camera.. I get excellent footage.. much like what gcam does to stock camera
Actually Motorola is consistent with updates! UA-camrs must take note that Moto provides updates to their phones on the day or the week when it's successor launches! For ex: Moto Edge 40 will receive Android 14 update when Edge 50 launches it's the same for Edge 40 Pro after launch of Edge 50 Pro! It means they are very consistent and reliable with software updates ! It's just that their schedule is very different and late!
The best thing about this video is, at the end of comparison, he also gives a conclusion for each segment which is really helpful! Thank you for being so good at what you do 🙌
Was able to get a US model of the s21FE that comes with a snapdragon 888 instead of the exynos processor. The s21 FE camera was already flagship level and with the 888 processor so is the performance, it beats the moto edge40 hands down.Overheating, mostly during summer months, is def a concern though.
i own s21 5g . Though it is different from s21 FE , I completely agree with exynos 2100 performance and heat control (thermal stability) part . i am sometimes annoyed by low thermal stability and low cooling efficiency and battery life issue part .
The problem with Exynos isn't instantaneous. It's long term. Wait out for another year or so and let your S21FE get some updates. You will see. And yes, I am saying that from personal experience. 🫠

@@psedowoodo3334 I have been using my current phone for 2.5 years, Redmi K20 Pro. I have been using Redmi for a long time, now kind of want to shift to some other brands. At first, I was inclined towards Samsung A34. But the waterdrop notch is a deal breaker for me. Pixel 7a is too pricey currently. Poco has a track record of motherboard issues. So it only leaves me with Edge 40. And the specs seems the most balanced against its competitors. Would you recommend buying the edge 40? I really want to buy it.
I am a S21 FE user for last 7 months and what I didn't like in S21 FE is 1) display brightness (low in outdoor ☹️), 2) average battery backup. Otherwise it's overall good phone❤

Hi , I'm thinking of buying Moto Edge 40, but have one doubt, hope you can answer this. There are many videos & discussion threads stating that UPI payment apps like PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM App, & Paytm UPI app doesn't work well on Moto devices, and even setting up these apps on a Moto phone takes a lot of efforts without any guarantee of success. Since I am a regular user of all these apps in my day-to-day life, their flow-less working is a must for me. Could you please try to setup and use these apps on your review unit and tell if I can go ahead with buying a Moto or should I consider some other phones?
I wish It had Sony 766 sensor for Rear and also Sony sensor for front and it would be nice also 4700 mah battery would be great. It would be the best phone in the segment 🔥

The details that you provide is great and I would suggest also including Android auto performance when comparing Android phones in mid-range and above segments. I see many phones heat up a lot when connected to Android auto. Also see if you can include gps accuracy info as well. As always, wonderful job by you and your team.
What are your thoughts about s21 fe snapdragon 888 processor?? Would SD powerred s21fe perform better than edge 40??
Motorola should really look into software updates or else its a very good option
Both phones are really good n neck to neck at this price.
Even though Motorola has litt8weak cameras i would go with Motorola for better battery and SoC.
Cameras can be improved with GCAM probably
is camera2api enabled in moto edge 40 ?
I have been searching here and there and found not a single legitimate video is available for gcam on moto edge 40😢😢😢
It's very difficult to get a Gcam mod for a Mediatek chip. It's not a moto problem, it's a MTK problem.
That's one of the main reason why tech enthusiasts don't buy MTK phones
@@4urandy i think once phone gets delivered to people en masse, someone will figure out the most compatible version
If camera is not the major requirement then just go for edge 40 without any second thought.👍
What about the battery backup of mito edge 40?
What about the battery backup of mito edge 40?
@@bijoynag8312 If u r a normal user then no need to worry much. It has a very decent battery back up.
also camera differences aren't much its just like 19-20 ratio !
I bought samsung s21fe 1 year back and these are my cons:-
it will heats up quickly like i am holding an hot pan and charging will also discharge fastly on heavy usage 5hr-5:30hr roughly,and while gaming for an hour it will starts the lag in the game like 60fps is starting after a 30min it will drop to 48fps(pokemon unite)and it catchs pretty heat and the software also gets slow while it heats and i you can see clear lag on camera department also while it gets hotter.
Pros:-as he told in the video
But i was satisfied with this❤
The Edge 40 cameras are good enough it seems. With little editing they're as good as any photos. For the price it's a good deal.
Gcam for Edge 40 is awesome infact its one of the best phones which supports all features of gcam, after tuning it takes better pics than even pixel 7a yes on front camera too, moto has promised that camera updates are coming so moto edge 40 anyday over s21fe
Which Gcam MOD did you use for your Edge40?
Can you share that mod?
FI’ll just go for the edge 40 idc much about the cam tbh the edge display with 144hz faster charger in box better performance makes it a good deal for 30k …2..3y updates are fine
Finally a Comparison from Ershaad in a long time that makes sense and is useful.
For my Mother I had taken Motorola Edge 40 over Samsung S21fe because of it's curved display it feels very good for them and also dual dolby atmos speakers and As my parents were using Samsung mobile way back since they changed to Nokia keypad phone I would recommend them edge 40 because I use to buy Samsung for them at minimum budget at very midrange phones like M51, A52 phones they don't provide premium look at all. Thanks to Motorola and wish it come back strong with very less cliché and hope best for future
Is Gcam support on both the Devices?
Please make a detailed review of vivo V27 pro vs Samsung galaxy s 21 fe 😊. And if you are going to compare vivo V27 pro vs pixel 7a then please include samsung galaxy s 21 fe with the two phones please for me 😢😢😢
What about 256gb internal storage in edge 40 and 128gb ii n 21fe
Thanks! This is the review that I was waiting for.
That means motoroala have 1 sim only??
9:51 Samsung's GOS(APP) Runs in background always because when it encounters a game being played it takes care of the phone to prevent overheating, battery loss, frame drops and performance lag . So when it finds the phone throttling hard it automatically reduces the performance to tale care of the phone .So practically it's good for your phone..
The Exynos chip is THE major disadvantage for S21 FE. it's the root cause behind battery, heating and performance issues. other than that it's a good phone with great cameras and flagship features. from what I've seen so far edge 40 is better in most aspects other than camera. i may have had second thoughts about buying S21 FE if edge 40 was available 2 months ago. Moto even has IP68 and wireless charging.
Another unbelievably stupid decision from Samsung on S21 FE is the lack of adaptive refresh rate. even their 15k phones has it. i know it can only switch between 60 Hz and 120 Hz but even that matters a lot for a phone with such a horrible battery life. there's an indirect way to simulate adaptive refresh rate through settings>routines, but still it's nowhere near the real thing. It's unfair.
Another problem u might see is that 5g will be automatically turned off if u r downloading big files (since 5G is free now). it's basically because of the heat, so if anyone else face the same problem keep the phone under a fan when you're downloading. it works. also it might be a problem for all phones, not just Samsung.
there are other factors like software and hardware reliability to consider if u r gonna use the phone for long. so maybe u should wait a couple of months to get detailed reviews before buying edge 40.
S21 FE, other than the exynos issues, has been top notch in terms of general software and hardware quality. You will have the Samsung flagship experience.
@harek frnd if you don't care about battery backup and processor performance it's a great deal at 24.5k. You won't get a better overall camera phone under 40k. If you play games or want good battery back up, then look elsewhere.
Hey switching off the 120hz refresh rate will improve the battery life? And will a moderate user heating issue, no gaming just social media and Netflix?
@@gammacapitals5832 yes, reducing refresh rate will improve battery life and even help reduce heating. If you don't game, and use it in reduced 60 Hz refresh rate, then you should be fine in terms of over-heating and you'll be getting better battery life too. Only other ways you can heat up your phone is continuous usage of cameras and continuous 5G in high speeds.
PS - don't expect it to be completely cool. It'll get warm from time to time even in normal usage. But definitely not to uncomfortable levels with your usage pattern.
I've ordered s21 fe with sd888 processor at Rs.32000.....is the same issues is there on this Phone when compared with thr other one with Exynos?
Bro, please compare moto edge 40 with the vivo V27...
Both this phone has a pros and cons over each other but personally I do not deal a lot in camera so I would definitely go with moto edge 40
Same but waiting for Nord 3 to be the deciding one
Is there any heading issue in moto? Like while using under sunlight?
Camera comparisons are not fair based on samples from stock cam.. Even a sub 10k Poco takes great portraits with a Gcam Mod.. None of the chinese brands have figured out tone reproduction or HDR anyway.. but those capable hardware work v well with Gcam Mod software.. I would love to see Ershad talking more about OMV sensor on Edge 40 vs IMX sensor on S21... One thing none of the youtubers have touched till now is Frame loss in 4k video.. Stock camera on my Realme Pro Plus is pathetic in 4k with stuttering frames... But record the same on Open camera.. I get excellent footage.. much like what gcam does to stock camera
Wow 😮.. I was just thinking about this comparison... And I opened UA-cam n it appears.. Without any search
Actually Motorola is consistent with updates! UA-camrs must take note that Moto provides updates to their phones on the day or the week when it's successor launches!
For ex: Moto Edge 40 will receive Android 14 update when Edge 50 launches it's the same for Edge 40 Pro after launch of Edge 50 Pro!
It means they are very consistent and reliable with software updates ! It's just that their schedule is very different and late!
I want better camera phone.. Which Would b the better option out of these two.. Please suggest
The best thing about this video is, at the end of comparison, he also gives a conclusion for each segment which is really helpful! Thank you for being so good at what you do 🙌
Is there is any problem in future with regarding to e-sim
Was able to get a US model of the s21FE that comes with a snapdragon 888 instead of the exynos processor. The s21 FE camera was already flagship level and with the 888 processor so is the performance, it beats the moto edge40 hands down.Overheating, mostly during summer months, is def a concern though.
woah, how do we get a US model tho ? can you tell

I would recommend the Motorola to everyone in general, but personally, I will go for the S21 FE, but in Snapdragon version.
finally someone is talking about the 'SNAPDRAGON' factor.
It's There now, wat to do?? 😅
Thankyou you cleared my confusion.
i own s21 5g . Though it is different from s21 FE
, I completely agree with exynos 2100 performance and heat control (thermal stability) part .
i am sometimes annoyed by low thermal stability and low cooling efficiency and battery life issue part .
not sure why there was never a mention of both the prices . . its moto edge 40 @ 30k and samsung s21 fe @38k . . i mean the difference is almost 30% .
Occasionally s21 fe comes under 30 k with offers
Using s21 fe for 4 months...its the best phone in this range...not s single problem...the camera are awesome
The problem with Exynos isn't instantaneous. It's long term. Wait out for another year or so and let your S21FE get some updates. You will see. And yes, I am saying that from personal experience. 🫠

Motorola is now quite impressive but a long term trust have been attached with Samsung ❤. I'm a that kind of user who never change their smartphone usually.
When the moto edge 40 will be available on Flipkart? It’s always “coming soon”😢
Also please let us know if we should expect something more premium with naming as “Edge 40 Pro” or “Edge 40 Fusion”, if yes, when?

@@psedowoodo3334 I have been using my current phone for 2.5 years, Redmi K20 Pro. I have been using Redmi for a long time, now kind of want to shift to some other brands. At first, I was inclined towards Samsung A34. But the waterdrop notch is a deal breaker for me. Pixel 7a is too pricey currently. Poco has a track record of motherboard issues. So it only leaves me with Edge 40. And the specs seems the most balanced against its competitors. Would you recommend buying the edge 40? I really want to buy it.
I shifted from K20 Pro to Pixel 7. Please go to Edge 40 without doubt.
can you suggest a premium case for moto edge 40 please?
I am a S21 FE user for last 7 months and what I didn't like in S21 FE is 1) display brightness (low in outdoor ☹️), 2) average battery backup. Otherwise it's overall good phone❤

Hi , I'm thinking of buying Moto Edge 40, but have one doubt, hope you can answer this. There are many videos & discussion threads stating that UPI payment apps like PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM App, & Paytm UPI app doesn't work well on Moto devices, and even setting up these apps on a Moto phone takes a lot of efforts without any guarantee of success. Since I am a regular user of all these apps in my day-to-day life, their flow-less working is a must for me. Could you please try to setup and use these apps on your review unit and tell if I can go ahead with buying a Moto or should I consider some other phones?
