Motorola's Cheaper Edge 2023 Specs and Pictures Leaked
Motorola recently launched the Edge+ 2023, but similar to last year's lineup, it is expected to have a more affordable variant in the form of the Edge 40 or Edge 2023. Motorola skipped this model with the intention of unveiling it at a later date. However, we don't need to wait for that announcement to occur before gaining access to its specifications, as this information has already been leaked through promotional images.
Based on the marketing materials shared by popular tipster evleaks, the Motorola Edge 40's exterior is a mirror of the Edge 40 Pro. Similarities were mostly found at the back with the more affordable phone sporting a square camera bump. It houses dual rear cameras instead of a trio as found in the Pro model. It is highly likely the telephoto lens will be ditched.
