However, smartphones also have unique tactile features that users want to experience. The Motorola Edge 40 follows this trend. Available in Eclipse Black, Nebula Green, and Viva Magenta, this midrange smartphone boasts a back cover made of vegan leather, offering a comfortable grip. Despite its large 6.55-inch size, it is lightweight at 171 grams and impressively slim, measuring 7.49 millimeters. In addition to its attractive and grippable design, the Edge 40 has more to offer. One standout feature is its 144 Hz OLED screen, which supports HDR10+ and has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. Motorola claims the display can reach a brightness of 1200 nits, but in our tests, it even exceeded this level.
