For this pricing it's quite worth to buy, Motorola's been pumping out some great devices lately!

Motorola software support could be better but considering the great value for money their phones tend to be, I'll take it. Phones still work as intended and apps still get updated on old OS.

Glad to see that they've improved their camera software. Battery life is a bit disappointing but the very fast charge(with brick in the box) lessens the blow.

Good job Moto and good review as usual, GSMArena.

I like how the camera shots were all made in Sofia, Bulgaria....sweet!

[xcidgaf]

Designwise much better than what u would get from other oems in that price range

[gS-ktff]

Phew. Waited so long for this video. GSMArena reviews are the best!

Watching this on my Motorola Edge 40 Neo in soothing sea color.

Accurate about every detail they delivered. Kudos, GSMArena!
I even learned the wireless charging the hard way! Tons of online articles says that it has one but it clearly does not.

Gr8 review GSM Arena. It's good to see that you took feedback from your audience and incorporated them in your videos. You're no longer playing that annoying audio clip. Instead, you switched to showing the numbers for audio and battery life, which is a gr8 move in my opinion.

As for this phone. It's a gr8 value phone, but I don't understand how the battery life is pathetic...😒

Waiting on my Edge 30 Neo being delivered tomorrow morning, cant wait!!!!

They should have offered gorilla glass in the edge 40 honestly and then this phone would have been a suitable compromise but they gave some NEG protection and people gave feedback that edge 40s glass was getting marks easily so it is better to use scratch guard with it

Oow! Never knew GSMArena had a yt channel too! Just wanna thnx for the website you've made

Would u recommend the vegan leather or the acrylic version for long term durability. I have seen some problems with realme vegan leather which tends to peel off after a while. Also the indian version has neg glass to keep prices competitive, do you have any idea regarding the scratch protection of this glass?

[MichaelEKaz]

I like it when phones have backs that are plastic or some sort of grippy material. Glass is too slippery.

[hitcom]

For three reasons this phone is not good for
1 is headphone jack
2 is micro SD
3 is Google dialer. Which tells whole city that you're recording a call.

Hi. What is better Motorola edge 40 or 40 neo? Are the both models laging?

[mdas]

I just bought mine yesterday. And tried to compare this with samsung a54. So far A54 is much better in terms of camera and battery life. That selfie camera isn't really good compared to my redmi note 11s and samsung A54 specially in low light places.

[omarreid]

Motorola looks to have caught their groove if they keep it up my next phone will be a moto

[FACTUAL_KEY]

How's the heating issue? Hearing from alot of people that there's heating issue.

[andyboyd]

I would buy this phone, however, I've heard there's been a lot of complaints regarding heating issues, which is a shame as it's a good looking phone at a decent price - £250 on amazon at the moment.

[zorancvetkovic]

Great review. I have same price offer for this motorola and redmi note 12 pro. I cannot decide what to buy. What you think?

[elderton]

Is that battery rating at max refresh?
