@@kartikey92comparing an international brand name with a brand name which does copy only and hardly anyone care and know abt it international market. Motorola is an old tested one.
To all those considering buying this phone, here are some facts: 1. The predecessor to this phone (series edge 30) called the edge 30 ultra was also touted as a camera centric phone. It failed miserably. They released an update several months after its release but it still has not rectified the autofocus issues and several other processing issues. The camera is terrible. 2. The pure stock android OS experience is only half true. On the edge 30 ultra, several bugs render the phone quite frustrating to use. Bugs such as the autobrightness being erratic, ready for features not working as expected, and several other issues reported by users. No update has been received as of yet to cater for these issues till date. Read the Motorola forum on this phone to see how users are disappointed with all these issues. 3. The edge 30 ultra released near to the end of 2022 is still believe it or not stuck on android 12. Security patches themselves have been delayed consecutively. 4. The customer care or support is the worst or even non existent department at an organization I have ever seen. They don't have any answers. They cannot help. For whatever issue you have. They may respond, but sorry is all they have to say. 5. No original accessories are available for the edge 30 ultra. A simple thing like a charger is not available even on their website or on e-commerce platforms. The phone claims to have 50 watt charging, but there is no charger to support this. Wireless chargers from other brands do not hit the required speeds of charging even if they are rated 50 watt. 6. Though motorola claimed HDR content is supported on netflix, it is not so. They either were not able to get certified from netflix or were not bothered to. My advice for someone who wants to invest in a flagship phone, is that you should put your money with a brand that has good customer support. Without it, your flagship will start to feel like a mid budget range device. Specs and what you see on advertisements do not tell the whole truth. Don't fall for the marketing hype, because that is one thing Motorola is very good at
@@madhusudantiwari3232 at around 800 dollars or more, Motorola provides amazing specifications. But their customer support and software update policy is more like a scam than anything else. So I suggest you look at brands like Samsung and OnePlus for better support and peace of mind. Keep in mind that these brands also have bad smartphones. So read and research USER reviews before making a purchase. If possible even try using the device if someone else has it before doing so.
How on earth did we get to the point that a Motorola mid-ranged is beating a Sony mid-ranged when it comes to the video? This looks far better than the 1080p coming out of the 10V
You guys really need to tone down the background music. It's quite distracting and dulls down your voice and it's hard to focus on what you are saying.
I agree! So many reviewers make this mistake (Yes, I wrote "mistake", because that is exactly what it is). In fact, you need ZERO background music when talking.
I love to see these classic names still doing something, moto is a phone brand i never want to see die , so sorry htc and blackberry went out of business ,nokia still struggling to make any reasonable phones like the lumias , E series and N series
Back in the day i bought a huawei mate 10 pro that had severe thermal throttling issues to the point that normal scrolling was laggy and it wasn't just my unit and i was saying why does no one talk about this! This is one of the most important things in a smartphone!
I bought the phone blindly from a phone company, without knowing anything about it, and personally, I think that the camera mostly the native camera app is crap, it works super bad, it is limited, it has no adjustment options, it has a lot of noise grain, and it looks blurry, before taking the photo (in the preview), and after taking the photo it improves since it does all its processing, but it looks pasty, without much detail (which I would expect that it did for the 600USD it cost), and with a lot of sharpening effect, not very realistic really. I compared it to the iPhone 6S camera and it was actually much better in my opinion, taking a much more realistic image, true to life in my opinion, with much more balanced lighting and contrast overall compared to what I was seeing with my own eyes. I'm talking in a low light situation (before and after taking the light off and fully lit shot) where the room was turned off and I was pointing the camera at both of my gaming monitors. the iPhone 6S won the test. the Edge 40's native camera in HDR mode off looked noisy and its flaws were glaring. with HDR mode on the change/enhancement was almost non-existent. I find myself feeling really sad, because I came from an iPhone 4/Galaxy A10/A20S, and I was impressed that the preview was so bad (as in my A20S being the last phone), the camera app, and that it does not let you record to 1080p60 from it. Although I tried the Google Camera it improved but it looks much darker or contrasted and it looks super slow when aiming the camera. it does not convince me. I expected more from the phone. Well, the phone itself is not bad, it feels good, although I don't like that it is so long, it is less wide than the Galaxy A20S, millimeters or 1cm less tall than the A20S, since its plastic OLED screen is exquisite, the charger It comes included along with its cable with USB-C on both sides, the truth is quite fast, it hasn't stuck, I can open and download whatever I want without problems, and so on. The bad thing is that it is in 4G+ and the 5G network has not yet been activated and I also do not receive text messages for example when I request a code for an app because it is impossible to obtain it. I liked the phone, it's mostly pure Android, I installed more of the Google app, and what I didn't like and found lousy was the camera. i see the final front video test and confirms it. my 6S looks better. pd: sorry if something is understandable, i'm latin spanish girl. i used the google translator to write and fix the message i wanted to give. thank you.

Hi! Could you please elaborate on that? Edge 40 has better processor (something most people mention) which supposedly tends to overheat (not a dealbreaker for me unless it causes performance issues). Edge 40 Neo has somewhat inferior CPU, but more RAM and bigger battery which doesn't seem to deliver more work hours. Still struggling which one to choose.

Impressed by the Motorola Edge 2023's Mediatek Dimensity 7030 processor. Really looking forward to buying it. It's a powerhouse for gaming and multitasking. Definitely considering it as my next phone!
So disappointed with GSMArena, bought the Motorola Edge 40 after seeing this review and turns out it's absolutely crap. IP68? more like IP00, it's not at all durable and slightest touch of water and the camera is gone. So viewers please take these "reviews" with a pinch of salt cuz they're practically just reading the brochure.
Resolution really matters little when processing is so important. A well processed 1080p can look much better than poorly processed 4k on a typical phone screen or even regular TV or monitor.
well the resolution size of 4K (3840x2160) is ~8.3 million pixels. which is a bigger size than the 8mp ultrawide they like to use so obviously it isn't allowed.

-One mistake. In the camera specs you put OIS instead of EIS. I was surprised to see optical stabilization, but yeah, it was just electronic.- It actually has mechanical/optical stabilization. My mystake.
@@visordownn On all Moto phones OIS works regardless of if you take photos, or Videos and no matter the resolution. OIS isn't software. I also have OIS at 8K on my Moto and in 200MP mode. It's just that OIS only balances out around half a cm, meaning a shaky hand, not a shaky sprint.
@@visordownn Fixed, I have seen an Edge 30 teardown and it is indeed mechanically stabilized. I found weird that it hadn't been showcased in the video section. My apologies for the confusion.

Hey I need some advice between the Motorola edge 40 256Gb and Edge 30 fusion 128Gb. I'm well aware of the difference in chipset and camera processing reviews online. Can't decide which on to go for. The fusion is also $90 cheaper.
I will not buy another Motorola phone until they start pushing the updates on time... I'm sorry, but even the Chinese brands give updates on time. My old Edge 30 Fusion was still on Android 12 when I sold it few weeks ago LOL...others will receive 14 until it receive 13.
Curved display sounds and looks nice untill you try to put a tempered glass on it for protection.
I didn't even put anything on a non curved edge 20 since it's release 😂
Why?
The hydrogel is lasting well on my edge 40
At personal opinion
The design of the edge 40 is more striking than the edge 40 pro :)
Same thing happened with the edge 20 and the edge 20 pro
I think the designers design their phone from bottom to up. for eg : they design edge 40 and then add something over it to make the pro version.
That is true because edge 40 is a design oriented smartphone whereas the edge 40 pro is about performance
bro will edge 40 release viva magenta pantone colour varient?????? (that red colour varient which edge 40 had)

Which phone has the best haptics of of these two moto edge 40 and pixel 7a?
Thx for the review...👍👍👍
Should have given the 1.4 aperture in the front. the bokeh effect is needed in the front not back
bokeh is not everything F/1.4 does, and also it's not even possible to make F/1.4 possible on front cam without a camera bump
How much is the idle battery drain?
This device is a steal with its india pricing. It’s quite good for a phone under 400 dollars.
As user of the A series i can easily say this phone can smoke any Samsung midrange phone so smoth and very thin the only problem with Motorola is their update policy they are slow
It is really nice, but i heard it gets over heated by long Video calling. Any experience please? 👍
This might sound controversial but a non edge display and more years of OS support and they have a winner.
Can i use USB hub for HDMI out from the USB port?
Damn, cameras are nice 😮
Ilove the design the interface is good ❤❤❤
Is the charger pd one?
This phone has wireless charging at 15 W. And for the price i think this is to be recommended.
That intro 🔥
At this price, you expect a Pixel or Samsung S series level camera or at least cameras to be as good as iPhone 11's. otherwise in India, We have the same offering from Indian Brand LAVA at Half price (120hz curved Oled, Glass Back, Clean, and Stock Android 13, 2 years of OS Updates, MTK 7050, and also a trashy 50 MP camera as MOTO has offered, but 1-year pick and drop and full phone replacement service).
probably not the same sensor size on that 50MP camera, neither F/1.4
iPhone 11 camera is the worst compared to pixel 7a and Samsung s series.
It's cheaper than both devices . The Samsung S23 is nearly triple the price . A pixel 7a is around £100 more expensive
Is the display panel 8-bit or 10-bit? I don't see Moto mentioning that anywhere.
Why? Would you use that tiny display for video image editing?😅
No glass back variant bro, its acrylic platic (Glasstic) variant.
Hey! I'm in the mode to change phone. I thinking about Oneplus nord 3 or this Motorola 40. Which is best of these phone?
Depends on your demands. If you specifically need wireless charging and IP68, choose Moto Edge 40
-One mistake. In the camera specs you put OIS instead of EIS. I was surprised to see optical stabilization, but yeah, it was just electronic.- It actually has mechanical/optical stabilization. My mystake.
It has OIS in the main cam but I don't think it works in 4K mode.
@@visordownn On all Moto phones OIS works regardless of if you take photos, or Videos and no matter the resolution.
OIS isn't software.
I also have OIS at 8K on my Moto and in 200MP mode.
It's just that OIS only balances out around half a cm, meaning a shaky hand, not a shaky sprint.
@@visordownn Fixed, I have seen an Edge 30 teardown and it is indeed mechanically stabilized. I found weird that it hadn't been showcased in the video section. My apologies for the confusion.
Is Read For desktop mode functioning on external display? Help? Some are saying it works when connected to a laptop but doesn't work when connected to a display/monitor/TV.
It's looks like a complete package and is available for like 28K INR or 280 GBP here in India. Planning to get it as a secondary phone.
It is 30 K
Using it as secondary phone...but it is beating my primary iPhone in terms of in-hand feel, speakers and software
Hey I need some advice between the Motorola edge 40 256Gb and Edge 30 fusion 128Gb. I'm well aware of the difference in chipset and camera processing reviews online. Can't decide which on to go for. The fusion is also $90 cheaper.
Can you review the Tecno Camon 20 series, especially the Premier?
Also Motorola just released the Motorola Moto Edge 40 Neo, can you review that too?
What kind of gaming experience can be expected from this Motorola Edge 40 which is packed with the latest Dimensity 8020 Soc?
How are the haptics? Cheap 2012 like phone or more towards iPhone like?
Expecting ultrawide camera output improvement
Here is 290eur, only valuable competition is Nothing 1 which cost about 320eur. Xiaomi of same price looks like joke compared with Edge 40 😅
I will not buy another Motorola phone until they start pushing the updates on time... I'm sorry, but even the Chinese brands give updates on time. My old Edge 30 Fusion was still on Android 12 when I sold it few weeks ago LOL...others will receive 14 until it receive 13.
The Fusion got Android 13 2weeks ago XD
The edge 30U still doesn't have it.
Black Friday got this one retailing in Sweden for 3990 SEK today, don't know if it's worth it though.
What games was he playing ?
CarX series and asphalt 9
It looks like the perfect mid-range phone under 30k jiske kafi impressive features hai including IP68 certification and dimensity 8020 processor.
I wish motorola would bring back the defy model
Defy 2.
Does it have double tap to wake, or single tap to wake?
Is this the same phone as the Moto Edge 2023?
Hello bro is it worth to exchange the lg velvet to buy for this moto
Is this the Motorola Edge 2023 in the states?
Wow the cameras are bad, those pictures you showed were so fuzzy and undefined 😂
Tnx bro
How about overheating like my Motorola G73?
4400mAh Battery... Disappointing/Pathetic AGAIN...
Main camera lens aperture f/1.4!!!! WOW!!!
Many phantom presses from sides?
