Thanks to an extensive leak, various technical data of the upcoming Motorola Edge 40 and Edge 40 Pro have come to light today. As expected, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro will be the global version of the Chinese Moto X40. Accordingly, we can expect a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1,080 x 2,400 pixels and a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz. It is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
In addition, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro will have a 4,600 mAh battery that charges at least in China with 125 watts of TurboPower by cable and 15 watts wirelessly. The Motorola smartphone has a 50-megapixel main camera with a 1/1.5-inch sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide with an aperture of f/2.2 and macro capabilities. There is also a 60 megapixel selfie camera.

The Edge 40 will have the same 50-megapixel main camera as the Pro. But the rest of the setup isn’t as impressive. On the back there is a 13 megapixel ultra wide and on the front a 32 megapixel selfie camera. The battery has a capacity of 4,400 mAh and charges with 68 watts wired and with 15 watts wirelessly.
