Pros and Cons

Motorola Edge 40

Strengths

The display is smooth and bright with a curved 6.55 inch OLED, 1080p resolution, and extra fast 144hz refresh rate.
The chipset is competitive and provides good performance in benchmarks, with no issues when multitasking or gaming.
The cameras are solid, with a 50 megapixel main cam and 13 megapixel ultrawide camera that take great photos and videos.
The phone has improved display, battery, and fast charging compared to the Edge 30 Fusion.
It comes with 256 gigs of Base storage in most markets and IP68 waterproofing and wireless charging.
The selfie camera is excellent with great detail, lifelike skin tones, and wide dynamic range.

Weaknesses

The phone may not be in the highest tier of mid-ranges you can buy but it's right up there so is The Edge 40 worth the price tag?
The textured Eco leather backing on some models tends to collect Grime and dirt and is hard to clean.
The depth of field is shallow and getting some subjects fully in Focus may be tricky with the main cam.
The ultra wide camera appears to be a downgrade from the 50 megapixel version on the Edge 30 Fusion.
The phone has a high standby power draw that drags down the overall battery life rating.
The thermal management can cause gradual throttling during prolonged stress tests.
