And speaking of being impressed, that’s just what the Motorola Edge 40 and Edge 40 Pro did with us! However, in order to round up the Edge 40 family, we need one more member and today, it makes its official appearance: the Motorola Edge 40 Neo.
Motorola fans will know that the Edge 40 was the flagship, while the 40 Pro was the higher-end experience. That, in turn, leaves the 40 Neo to be the best of both worlds: a premium experience at a reasonable price.
And even at that, Motorola has found new ways to impress with this phone!

Well, well, well: pretty neat indeed! Now, this is one of Mediatek’s latest chips, but it is only slightly more powerful than the more widely utilized Dimensity 1080. And while that is a pretty capable chip, it still gets blown out of the water by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, for example.But! The Edge 40 Neo is equipped with plenty of RAM to let you multitask and complete your daily tasks without any issues. With this setup, you can even get some gaming done, as long as you aren’t going to pursue the ultra-high game settings. Oh, and it is also capable of providing you with a desktop experience.
Isn’t it perfect when the colors match?
Speaking of prices, Motorola is one of the companies that actually try to save you a bit of cash when you get one of its phones, and the Edge 40 Neo makes no exception. The phone comes pre-packed with a case, dyed to match your color of choice. Said case is also made in Sweden from a special recycled linen that will not only feels great, but will be easy to recycle one day.
And that’s the Motorola Edge 40 Neo! It will be on sale starting today for €399 (about 430 when using direct conversion). As of now, it’s available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but we’re likely going to see it jump the pond in order to become available in the US later down the line.
