Motorola’s Flagship For 2023 Is Here! – Moto Edge 40 Pro

Motorola is back in the premium segment – here’s everything you need to know about Moto Edge 40 Pro.
After the recent leaks, Motorola has launched its flagship smartphone for 2023 in the global market, the Moto Edge 40 Pro.
Moto Edge 40 Pro was previously launched in China as Moto X40 back in 2022, and it hopes to go against the likes of the OnePlus 11, Pixel 7, and Samsung Galaxy S23 in the global market.



Motorola hasn’t been a very active player in the premium segment. It usually releases one flagship per year in its Edge series. Let’s talk about the latest addition to the Edge Pro series from Motorola!
Moto Edge 40 Pro: Price And Availability
Moto Edge 40 Pro is priced at €899.99 in Europe, and it is available in a single variant, one with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. Motorola mentioned it will be available soon “in the coming days.” The company has mentioned that it will be available soon in Latin American markets as well, but it hasn’t revealed the price of the device for that market.
Motorola has also mentioned that it plans to launch more Edge-branded phones in the North American market this year, which means we could see Edge 40 Pro launch in the US market as well.
