[General Questions and Answers] dimi89:
Got Motorola Edge 40 ( EU / Global ) after my Huawei P30 finally give up.

My choices were between Poco F5, Pixel 6 /6a, Nothing Phone 1, Edge 40. After all I picked Motorola Edge 40 not because i wanted it most but because it was most affordible at the moment. Pixel 6/6a too many problems so I didnt want to risk, Poco F5 have bad cameras apparently and Nothing Phone 1 had weak cheapset. After all the prioce for motorola Edge 40 was around 300 euros and for me it was best pick. Samsung A54 I didnt even consider since bezels are hughe.

After all design of Motorola Edge 40 is in my opinion is apsolutely the best. Leather like material at the back, curved screen, cameras on the back etc...

Display > Apsolutely fine, but again I am not someone who will notice big difference between screens. For me it is same quality as my previous P30. You can set it to 60/120/144 hz or automatic. Would be perfect if it has 90 hz option but not a big drawback for me .

Battery > It sparks a lot of comments so I will speak form my experiance. Battery is good, I usually get around 6 hours of SOT on 14hours usage but again I play games ( around 1 hour of CoD or Diablo immortal). So for me it is decent and nothing to complain. I did se it to 120hz and turned on dark mode, also turned off gps and bluetooth and set network to 4G. Charging speed is really good since it have 68 wats fast charger and it takes around 40 min to fully charge device and around 20 for 50%. Numbers are not exact since I never really measure it correctly.

Performance > Biggest drawnback for me is MediaTek processor in any device not just on Edge 40. Not because it is slow but because it has 0 support. No custom rom no modding etc. Snapdragons are also better optimized. Only reason I even considered to buy device with MediaTek is because this one have good perfomance ( Extreme WildLife test got amazing result of 99% stability , for example Samsung S23 Ultra has around 67%) and I can play a bit more demanding games. On the other hand I would rather had SnapDragon 870 than any MediaTek processor just because of support and compatibility. Heating for me is not an issue since it does heat while I game but it is not to the point where it is unconfortable to hold. On the other hand we will see how it will performe in the summer.

Sound > Speakers are good if not really good no compaint from my side. While using phone sound is clear.

Cameras > This is the biggest supprise and biggest disapointment for me. Back cameras are in 90% really good if not great. Selfie / Front camera is really bad. Than I compared it with my brothers Pixel 6 front cam and realize it is same as if not better than Pixels 6. Still in low light it fall apart. During the day it is good. I am currently testing GCam versions and they are not also great nor the improove situating a lot. Maybe in the future it will get bette but I doubt. It is what it is. I must say Macro is great who like macro fotography can ge this one and will not be disapointed. Main sensor night cam is also great.

Software > Hit and miss inver like stock software ( except custom roms). No call recording without warning or auto call record out of the box. Customization is decent no themes just colours can be applied. No real alwayse on display just glance one ( it fires up when you get notification or just tpuch device).

Updates are not strong point of motorola phones and I dont expect much. I just hope they impropve selfie cam in low light or at least not **** up back camera.

Overall, I think I device is a good choice.​
