Motorola Edge 40 Pro goes official with 165Hz pOLED and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Back in December last year, Motorola launched the Moto X40 in China. Now the phone has arrived in the global market with the Edge 40 Pro moniker. So, let's take a look into the specs, features, and expected price of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro in Nepal.

Motorola Edge 40 Pro Overview:

Display and Design

One of the significant highlights of the Edge 40 Pro is its 2.5D curved 6.67-inch FHD+ pOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate. This borderless screen has a 10-bit color depth, alongside HDR10+ and Dolby Vision certification, supporting HDR playback on Youtube & Amazon Prime Video. Other attributes of this display include DC dimming, DCI-P3 color space, 1300 nits of peak brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection. As the name implies, the smartphone boasts a curved aluminum frame body with 8.6mm thickness and 200 grams weight. The Gorilla Glass Victus also gets carried here on the back panel. Other than this, the Edge 40 Pro is IP68 dust and water-resistant. It is available in only one color option— Interstellar Black.

Camera

Coming to the optics, the redesigned camera island also follows the curved pattern on the edges. It houses a 50MP, f/1.8 primary sensor with OIS like its predecessor, the Edge 30 Pro. a 50MP ultra-wide autofocus camera with a 114° FoV, and a 12MP telephoto unit with 2x optical zoom. And as a flagship phone, the main lens can shoot up to 8K videos at 30fps. Moving on, the Edge 40 Pro also retains the 60MP front camera.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Since it's a flagship phone after all, it is powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. This 5G silicon is based on TSMC's 4nm process and features a high-performance Cortex-X3 core, four Performance cores (2.8GHz), and three Efficiency cores (@2.0GHz). Memory options include 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 internal storage. And to keep things nice and cool, Motorola has used an 11-layer 3D heat dissipation system with a cooling surface of 24868.28 sq. mm. The phone boots on Android 13-based My UX 5.0.
