Unboxing the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, a 2023 flagship smartphone serving up a 50MP camera, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 gaming chops and beefy specs. Here in the UK, the Motorola Edge 40 Pro packs a £800 asking price - but how does it compare vs the Samsung Galaxy S23, Pixel 7 and other rivals? This hands-on review reveals all!

Well, the camera is certainly the weak point here. You don't have a huge 200MP or 1-inch sensor, unlike the Edge 30 Ultra, and the Moto Edge 40 Pro pumps out quite standard photos. Still, it'll satisfy most users for everyday simple shots, with a Portrait and Pro mode and up to 8K video recording.

The Motorola Edge 40 Pro can also smash through the most demanding Android games like Genshin Impact. The Qualcomm chipset, plus light Android experience, means smooth visuals even under duress. That display supports 165Hz refresh, while you also get some stereo speakers.

As usual it's a stock Android 13 experience. The Motorola Edge 40 Pro serves up Moto's usual bonus bits however, including that GameTime mode for gaming on the go.

So are you tempted by this flagship, or is the Pixel 7 still the best option? Let us know your thoughts below!
