Motorola released the Edge 40 Pro in April, followed by the Edge 40 a month later. Today, Motorola has expanded the Edge 40 series with the release of the Motorola Edge 40 Neo. Which is less expensive than its predecessors.
Display and Design of Motorola Edge 40 Neo
The smartphone features a 6.55-inch 1080p 10-bit P-OLED curved display with a 144Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate. The screen has DCI-P3 color coverage and a maximum brightness of 1300 nits. It is HDR10+ certified and includes an in-display fingerprint sensor. The Moto Edge 40 Neo has IP68-rated water and dust protection, meaning it should be able to survive submersion.
Performance and Storage
The Motorola Edge 40 Neo packs the MediaTek Dimensity 7030 SoC with 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. It offers up to 256GB of onboard storage and runs the latest Android 13 operating system out of the box, complete with support for Moto Connect and Ready for features.
Camera and Battery
Moving on to the back of the handset, the camera module houses a flash as well as two sensors: a 50MP primary camera with OIS and a 13MP ultrawide unit with a 120° field of view. Notably, the ultra-wide camera has a focus for taking stunning macro images. This camera can record 4k video at 30 frames per second (FPS). The 32MP selfie camera inside the punch-hole cutout is limited to recording only up to 1080p clips.
A powerful 5,000 mAh battery powers the entire set, which is supplemented by a 68W power adapter that can charge the phone from 0% to 50% in just 15 minutes.

The Motorola Edge 40 Neo has a starting price of €399 in Europe.
