Editor Rating
4.1/5

Motorola Moto X40 is the latest smartphone from the brand, and it is also the most premium offering from their stable, with a solid glass body that features Gorilla Glass protection. The frame has been made from aluminium to make it lighter while retaining the strength associated with regular steel. On the front, you get a vibrant OLED display that comes with support for HDR10+ and features one of the fastest refresh rates in smartphones, clocking at 165Hz. This is in addition to the panel being nearly edge-less, thanks to the fingerprint sensor that has been hidden underneath the display, and the small camera cutout, that hides the selfie sensor.
