Motorola Moto E40 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Motorola Moto E40 - budgetary, unusual, interesting?

Motorola is definitely eager to gain a foothold in the market for low-cost Android smartphones and impose competition on its leaders in the face of Xiaomi, Samsung and Realme. So, the hero of today's review is trying to combine autonomy, functionality, and photographic capabilities that are not bad for the segment. There were some compromises, but many of the manufacturer's decisions deserve approval.

The design of the novelty gives out its real price, but I absolutely do not want to subject it to serious criticism. The triple photomodule is in place, the fingerprint scanner, although located at the back, is beautifully combined with the developer's logo, the display frames on the sides are quite narrow, the selfie camera differs in the current form factor and does not occupy a significant part of the OGS panel. Of course, the cheap plastic of the case and the impressive "chin" of the IPS-screen have not gone anywhere, but sometimes even the flagships do not provide an ideal exterior. The 6.5-inch OGS display has modest HD + resolution and, as a result, mediocre picture clarity. However, this shortcoming of the screen is opposed by a good supply of brightness and a refresh rate increased to 90Hz.

The selection of technical characteristics is curious. The not very well-known eight-core Unisoc T700 processor, 4GB of RAM and the Mali G52MC2 graphics adapter is an excellent bundle for the fast operation of Android 11 and almost any non-gaming application. Gamers won't get bored either, with the chipset ensuring smooth gameplay in most resource-intensive games, with rare exceptions like Genshin Impact or Fortnite. The power consumption of the CPU is low, as a result, a 4000mAh battery will provide up to a day and a half of active interaction with an Android smartphone. 64GB of ROM may be enough for the buyer, however, there is also a slot for MicroSD cards.

48- and 2-megapixel photosensors are useful tools for high-quality daytime photos and videos. The detailing of such frames and their color rendition are sufficient to upload pictures without editing to social networks. Of course, more expensive Android phones are worth looking at for equally impressive evening photos. Fans of contactless payments will not be happy about the lack of NFC , but this is the only significant drawback. However, all of the above is supplemented with a democratic price tag, so purchasing the considered device will be a completely reasonable and logical choice.
