Motorola Edge 40 Pro ties with Xiaomi 13 in DXOMARK camera test

Presented in early April by Motorola, the powerful Edge 40 Pro debuted as the manufacturer’s top of the line betting on high numbers: screen with a rate of 165 Hz, battery with 125 W recharge and cameras of up to 60 MP. Now the device passes the rigorous DXOMARK photography and video recording tests proving that Motorola did a good job, not enough to find it in the leaders of the list, but offering good performance.

The Motorola Edge 40 Pro bets on a set of three rear cameras to please those looking for more versatile photos and videos thanks to lenses with different fields of view.

The main 50MP sensor is sized at 1/1.5″, f/1.88 aperture and optical image stabilization (OIS), while another 50MP sensor at 1/2.8″ is dedicated to the ultrawide f aperture lens. /2.2. Finally, a 12 MP 1/2.93″ sensor powers the telephoto camera with f/1.6 aperture.

With 130 points in the DXOMARK global ranking, the model presents balanced performance with great exposure (109 points out of 117 points from the current record holder) and great colors (111 points out of 119) in photos, with good colors (109 points out of 117) and good noise levels (112 points out of 118) in video, but still falls short of expectations for its price range in texture, telephoto camera quality, and portrait mode.
