Like the Motorola Edge 40 Pro with its scented box, the base that will be introduced later Edge 40 can also try to affect our senses, while the smaller model can target touch among the sensory modalities, as it replaces the glass back with artificial leather for three quarters of the available colors. The four colors available are the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year viva magentagreen, blue and black — because only the blue model can be made of glass.

In addition to sharing pretty convincing quality pictures of the phones Roland Quandt, also published the European price of the Motorola Edge 40, according to the source, the Edge 40 using the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 system chip will be offered for 600 euros. The phone will be available with 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of storage, the display can be a 6.55-inch FHD+ OLED panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate. A 50 MP main camera and a 13 MP ultra-wide can be placed on the back, and the 32 MP front camera can remain on the front.

The housing will reportedly enjoy IP68 protection for both the artificial leather and glass models, and a 4400 mAh battery is expected in all phones under the back panel. It will draw 15 watts on a wireless charger and 68 watts with the included TurboPower adapter in the box. The date of the presentation is still unknown, but the leaked information about the pricing is probably accurate, since the source also accurately announced the Edge 40 Pro’s price of 900 euros in advance. The basic Motorola Edge 40 can be expected in Hungary at an opening price of around HUF 225,000.
