It is also confirmed to feature an IP68 rating in India. Motorola claims that the Edge 40 is the slimmest 5G phone with an IP68 rating.

The phone is also claimed to be the first smartphone in its segment to feature a 144Hz curved display. Additionally, the rear camera of the Motorola Edge 40 is said to have the widest aperture in any smartphone in the segment.
