As a new Geekbench test shows, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro is in the starting blocks. The rebranded, international version of the Moto X40, which launched in China back in December, will soon hit global markets. The Motorola Edge 40 Pro prototype did pretty well on the benchmark test.
The Edge 40 Pro managed a single-core score of 1,480 and a multi-core score of 4,889 in Geekbench 5. The motherboard, dubbed “rtwo,” is likely to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is unsurprising given the rumors above. The prototype had 12 GB of RAM on board. And there are also variants of the Moto X40 with exactly 12 GB of RAM. The entry-level model, on the other hand, runs with 8 GB of RAM. The only other detail that the Geekbench test provides is the software. In this case it is the current Android 13.
If the Motorola Edge 40 Pro turns out to be identical to the X40, then we’re in for a 6.7-inch OLED display with 1080 x 2400 pixels and a 165 Hz refresh rate. In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, up to 512 GB of memory are installed. There are also three main cameras, with a 50-megapixel wide camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide with autofocus for macro shots, and a 12-megapixel telephoto with 2x optical zoom. The selfie camera has an impressive resolution of 60 megapixels. In addition, there is a 4,600 mAh battery with 125 watts of fast wired charging on board. The Edge 40 Pro charges wirelessly with 15 watts and reverse wireless with 5 watts.
