Last week, Motorola announced a bunch of budget smartphones. One of them was Moto E40. This device has now made its way to India. Let’s take a look at what this handset offers and how much it costs.

Motorola has been on a release spree in recent times and the tech giant has got a couple of affordable models lined up for release in the coming weeks. The Lenovo-owned brand has now announced the Moto E40, the latest offering in the E-series.

The Moto E40 is coming on the heels of the launch of the Moto E20 and it features a slightly higher specs lineup than the E20. In terms of specifications, the Moto E20 packs a 6.5-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution. The display features a 90Hz refresh rate as well as a punch-hole design housing the selfie camera.

The sleek smartphone is powered by a Unisoc T700 processor paired with 4GB RAM. The model will be available in a sole 64GB storage which is expandable via microSD card. The E40 crams a 5,000mAh battery under the hood which Motorola touts to last for two days. The battery charges via a USB-C port. 

The Moto E40 packs a triple camera setup at the rear aligned vertically. The main camera is a 48MP sensor paired with a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth of field sensor. The back panel is made of plastic with a grooved design to promote easier grip and reduce incidences of fingerprint smudges. The back panel also contains the iconic Moto logo that is designed to double as the rear fingerprint scanner.

For selfies, the device packs an 8MP front-facing shooter. On the software side, the device runs on Moto’s MyUX based on Android 11 OS.

There is no word yet on the pricing and availability but the device is expected to be unveiled for the Indian market on October 12. It comes in two color options — Carbon Gray and Pink Clay colors.

Coming on the back of the release of the Moto E20, Motorola is priming up two more models that should launch any time from now. The two models on the lineup of subsequent releases are the Moto E30 and E40. However, the Motorola Moto E40 has just been spotted on Geekbench, with some details also available about the device. This follows the appearance of the Moto E30 on Geekbench a few days back.

The Geekbench listing follows an earlier appearance of the Moto E40 on NBTC, FCC, and TUV. These important certifications point in only one direction- that we are very close to the launch of the Moto E40 smartphone. According to the Geekbench running sub-library information, the Moto E40 sports a 1.8GHz eight-core Unisoc chip, and will offer 4GB of RAM, while the smartphone will run on the Android 11 operating system.

As per the actual Geekbench performance, the phone scored 352 and 1352 points respectively, on single-core and multi-core tests. The Moto E40 will come with a 5,000mAh battery with 10W charging support.

There are still several aspects of the specifications of the Moto E40 that are still lacking, although we know that the Moto E40 will have 64GB of internal storage, while there is a rumor of a 3GB RAM variant as well. The trajectory of certifications and performance tests on Geekbench, although not definitive, may indicate the imminent launch of both the Motorola Moto E30 and E40 smartphones. We’ll continue to put the two devices on the radar for any new development regarding their launch.
