The Motorola Edge 40 is priced around the ballpark of the Google Pixel 7. Is it as good? It's definitely a viable alternative for those that prefer a thin and stylish handset. But are there compromises to be made in order to get your hands on that style?
The 3DMark stress test shows us how the Edge 40 maintains performance through heavy loads — it does score lower than the Pixel, yes, but it did not throttle once through the 20 loops of the benchmark.
So, the Edge 40 may tap out at Android 15, whereas the Pixel 7 should get Android 16. Though, due to the timing of the releases here, it may or may not end up so that both phones get Android 16. However, the Pixel 7 will continue getting security patches until late 2027, while the Edge 40 will possibly stop around mid-2026.The Motorola Edge 40 has a 50 MP main camera with a very impressive F1.4 lens aperture — that's quite wide for a smartphone, especially in the midrange price bracket.
At night time, though, we were pleasantly surprised to see the Edge 40's ultra-wide camera keep dynamics at bay and give us very balanced pictures with no burn-outs or crushed shadows. We think it may have even beaten the Pixel on that last shot of the fountain there.Surprisingly, on video, the roles are reversed, with the Edge 40 being a bit warmer and the Pixel 7 having a bluish cast. In isolation, both phones give us good colors.
