Moto’s Edge 40 is one of the most hyped midrange phones of 2023, thanks to balanced specs at a competitive price. Now the device is launching soon in Nepal. This smartphone carries the legacy of the Moto’s Edge (curved) display with a fairly powerful Mediatek Dimesnity 8020 chipset and IP68 rating. More about the specs, features, and expected price of Moto Edge 40 in Nepal in this article.

Moto Edge 40 Overview:

Design and Display

Visual-wise, the Moto Edge 40 takes some cues from its Edge 40 Pro sibling. Both phones are pretty identical from the front side while the slight difference is visible on the back. What’s new for the vanilla Edge 40 is its vegan leather coating in Nebula Green and Eclipse Black color options. They are slightly heavier at 171gm than the Lunar Blue variant with an acrylic finish at 167g.

Besides that, the primary camera module is bigger than the secondary on Edge 40 as compared to the symmetrical ones on the Edge 40 Pro. To top it all, Moto has also provided an IP68 rating against dust and water drips.

On the front side, you are looking at a 6.55-inch P-OLED display. This 8-bit FHD+ display bears impressive specs such as 144Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, DCI-P3 color space, HDR10+, and 1200nits peak brightness.

Performance

Running the show under the hood is a Mediatek Dimesnity 8020 chipset. This 5G silicon is fabricated on a 6nm process and features four Cortex-A78 cores at 2.60 GHz alongside four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0 GHz. Likewise, the chip is paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. As for the OS, it boots on MY UX skin built on top of Android 13.

Camera

Coming to the optics, the Moto Edge 40 sports a dual camera setup on its back. The primary camera is a 50MP shooter with Omni-directional PDAF and OIS. It is followed by a 13MP ultrawide sensor with 120° FOV, which also doubles as a macro camera. Upfront, you get a 32MP selfie snapper.

Battery, Charging, and Others

Fueling the smartphone is a 4400mAh battery with 68W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. And the connectivity options include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, and a USB Type-C port. Furthermore, the Edge 40 also houses an in-display fingerprint scanner, and Dolby Atmos tuned dual stereo speakers.
