Motorola has officially announced its latest flagship phone, the Edge
40 Pro, which boasts a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, a 50MP main camera, and
super-fast 125W charging. The hardware is the same as that previously seen
in the Moto X40, which had heavy customizations for the Chinese market,
whereas the Edge 40 features a cleaner UI much closer to a stock Android 13
experience.
