Motorola recently launched the Moto Edge 40 Pro as its flagship smartphone for 2023. It appears Motorola has rebadged the Moto X40 for markets outside China.

Motorola Edge 40 5G is rumored to launch soon. As the name suggests, the Android smartphone will sit below the Edge 40 Pro. Some reports claim Motorola will launch the Edge 40 5G a few weeks after launching the Motorola Edge 40 Pro in India.

The Edge 40 design renders reveal the phone will launch in three color options globally: Lunar Blue, Nebula Green, and Eclipse Black. There could be a special Viva Magenta color option, but it might be available only in the US market.

The Motorola Edge 40 5G looks similar to the Motorola Edge 40 Pro. However, the non-Pro model has a dual camera setup on the back. The Edge 40 5G appears to have a curved display with a hole-punch cutout at the top center to house a 32MP front-facing camera.

The Edge 40 5G has thin bezels at the top and bottom of the display, as indicated by the design renders. Previous leaks about the smartphone suggest it will have a 6.65-inch Full HD+ 8-bit P-OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The display is tipped to have a resolution of 2400 × 1080 pixels, a peak brightness of 1200 nits, and support for HDR10+.

The Motorola Edge 40 5G is rumored to be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset. The flagship-grade SoC is tipped to be paired with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM. Buyers could get to choose between 128GB and 256GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.

The phone’s dual rear camera setup has a 50MP main camera with an f/1.5 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) support. It is tipped to be accompanied by a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree field of view. There’s a 32MP front camera for selfies, video calls, and face unlock.

A previous leak had claimed the smartphone will pack a 4600mAh battery with support for 68W wired fast charging, 8W reverse charging, and 15W wireless charging. The Edge 40 should run Android 13-based MyUX 5.0 out of the box.

The Motorola Edge 40 5G has reportedly secured an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Some of the notable connectivity options of the smartphone include 5G SA/NSA, Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ax (2.4GHz/5GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, USB Type-C, and NFC.

Motorola may launch the phone alongside the Edge 40 Pro later this year. Needless to mention, Motorola hasn’t offered or confirmed any details of the Edge 40 5G.
