Motorola Announces Edge 40 Pro

New Delhi — Motorola announced Motorola Edge 40 Pro which boasts an impressive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, blazing-fast 125W charging, and a remarkable 50MP main camera with a large sensor. While its hardware is similar to Moto X40 which was announced in China, the Edge 40 Pro stands out with its sleek and clean UI which is much closer to the stock Android 13 experience.

The Motorola Edge 40 Pro sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, accompanied by elegant 2.5D curved sides and a 1080p resolution. The phone is fortified with Gorilla Glass Victus on both the front and back, providing robust protection against scratches and damage.
