We may more or less like the curved panels, but that’s what happened with this Motorola Edge 40. Slightly curved panel with poLED technology and 6.5 inches diagonal. Aesthetically, a panel that we can personally verify looks really good, although the tests were also not in the best of conditions.

what’s in comfort in terminal useWe have to say it feels good, which we can verify first hand. While phones with curved screens tend to be slippery, that doesn’t seem to be the case with this Edge 40, which is accompanied by a more compact size and featherweight.

The backing material consists of: vegan leather that even reaches the camera module and while obviously this is for pleasure, the truth is it doesn’t attract fingerprints, making the terminal much cleaner. Also, the material feels soft and looks resilient.

Another prominent feature of the Edge 40’s design is the It is IP68 certified against water and dust. Being in the middle of 2023 isn’t a great novelty, but it’s something to consider if we observe that this device’s predecessor, the Motorola Edge 30, is not staying at IP52.
