Motorola E series of smartphones have been catering to the sub-Rs 10,000 segment for quite some time now. The Moto E40 is the newest smartphone in this series and is the successor to the Moto E7 Plus and the Motor E7 Power in India. This new smartphone brings new hardware and features which are uncommon in this segment of the market. Has Motorola only changed its naming strategy or does the Moto E40 pack in enough goodies to be the de facto choice on a budget? I put this new smartphone to the test to find out.
The Moto E40 is a budget smartphone with a big 6.5-inch display. The Moto E40 has a plastic body but it did not feel flimsy. Motorola has also curved the sides of the smartphone, and gripping it is easy. The phone weighs 198g which is felt while holding the smartphone.
The big 6.5-inch LCD panel has an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by a Unisoc T700 octa-core SoC. This processor is paired with 4GB of RAM, and you also get 64GB of storage and a 5000mAh battery. There are no variants for this phone but storage is expandable by up to 1TB using a microSD card. The Moto E40 has an IP52 certification which means it should be splash resistant.
You get a triple camera setup on the Moto E40, consisting of a 48-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The selfie camera is 8-megapixel. For selfies, it has an 8-megapixel shooter on the front. Daylight camera performance was decent but it suffered in lowlight.
