Motorola Edge 40 Pro images leak, looks just like the Moto X40

The Motorola Edge 40 Pro surfaced last month, appearing in Geekbench with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and soon after making another appearance on the Google Play Console. Both occasions suggested that this will be the global version of Moto X40 from December.

This connection appears even more certain now that Evan Blass has shared renders and short videos of the phone – by the looks of it, these belong on Edge 40 Pro’s page on Motorola.com. Note that the naming scheme in the US is slightly different, so this should appear as the Moto Edge+ (2023).

One video mentions the 165Hz refresh rate of the display, which is indeed one of the highlights of the X40. Said display is 6.7” in size, a 10-bit OLED panel with 1,080 x 2,400px resolution (20:9) and has curved sides.

The phone is powered by the SD 8 Gen 2 with up to 12GB of RAM (based on data from the GPC). The battery should be a 4,600mAh power cell with 125W fast wired charging and 15W wireless (note that last year there were some difference between the X30 and Edge 30 Pro).

The X40 (and presumably the Moto Edge 40 Pro) is equipped with a 50MP main camera (1/1.55” sensor, OIS), a 50MP ultra wide (117°) and a 12MP zoom camera (2x). On the front, there is a 60MP selfie camera inside a centered punch hole.

As you can tell from some of these images, the phone has stereo speakers (with Dolby Audio) and is water resistant (the X40 is rated IP68).

There’s no word on when Motorola will unveil the Edge 40 Pro globally. It should be joined by other models as well (e.g. a vanilla Edge 40), though without an X40 Pro, there probably will be no follow-up to the Edge 30 Ultra.
