Motorola announced the Moto X40 in China with a 165Hz display, last year. The same smartphone is now arriving globally as the Edge 40 Pro.

So, let’s take a look into the rumored specs, features, and expected price of the Motorola Edge 40 Pro in this article.
Motorola Edge 40 Pro Rumors:

Like the Moto X40, the Edge 40 Ultra is also tipped to come with a curved 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. If it’s a rebrand, the global version will also share other attributes such as FHD+ 10-bit OLED display, DC dimming, and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection as well.
As for the design, the Edge 40 Pro is very similar to the Moto X40, with a rectangular camera module and button placement. Evan also shared a render with the smartphone submerged, indicating that it will have an IP68 rating.
