Pros

Phone Appearance

The budget-focused Motorola Edge 40 Neo feels anything but, with a slew of premium features including IP68 water resistance, a 6.5-inch curved 144Hz display, 68W fast charging. [trustedreviews]

The Motorola Edge 40 Neo is one of very few budget-focused phones offering full IP68 dust and water resistance. [trustedreviews]

The Motorola Edge 40 Neo is a refinement of last year’s Edge 30 Neo with a slightly tweaked design. [trustedreviews]

At 7.76mm thick and 172g, the Neo is comfortably in lightweight territory compared to heavy smartphones like the iPhone 14 Pro Max. [trustedreviews]

The heart of the Edge 40 Neo’s design focuses on Motorola’s partnership with colour experts Pantone. [trustedreviews]

Compact and lightweight. [gsmarena]

Display

Extra smooth 144Hz display. [gsmarena]

Battery

With 68W fast charging and a charger included in the box, Motorola claims you can get 50% charge in just 15 minutes. [trustedreviews]

Very fast charging for the class. [gsmarena]

Price

Despite its affordable £299 price tag, the Edge 40 Neo comes with a slew of features you’d expect from flagship-tier smartphones. [trustedreviews]

Software

Motorola continues its partnership with colour experts Pantone with the Edge 40 Neo, available in three Pantone-verified (and exclusive) colourways that stand out from the crowd. [trustedreviews]

Cons

Camera

Video stabilization is not as good as the competition. [gsmarena]

Performance

Overheating & performance throttling. [91mobiles]

Battery

Below average battery life. [gsmarena]

Software

Only two OS updates promised, and Moto has not been the fastest to deliver these in the past. [gsmarena]

Captures images with boosted colours. [91mobiles]

When zooming in, the Edge 40 Neo is not too keen to engage the auto night processing at 2x, so you can expect relatively narrow dynamic range most of the time, dark exposures and murky shadows. [gsmarena]
