Motorola’s Edge 40 Pro is said to arrive in Western markets in the near future as a rebranded version of the Moto X40, which launched in China in December.
Today, a prototype Motorola Edge 40 Pro appears to be running Geekbench, meaning it’s been inducted into the benchmark’s online hall of fame, or more accurately, its database.
The Edge 40 Pro scored a single-core score of 1,480 and a multi-core score of 4,889 in Geekbench 5. The “rtwo” motherboard could apparently be “paired” with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which isn’t surprising if the above rumors say this will be a rebranded Moto X40 indeed.
The prototype had 12GB of RAM on board when it ran the benchmark (never mind the 11GB in the list: Geekbench always underestimates memory slightly). And guess what? The Moto X40 also has variants with exactly 12GB of RAM. Coincidence? Probably not. It’s worth noting, however, that the X40 starts with 8GB of RAM, so the Edge 40 Pro could do that too.
The only other detail the benchmark list provides, as usual, is the software the phone is running. In this case it’s Android 13, to (hopefully) no one’s surprise.
If the Edge 40 Pro turns out to be identical to the X40, expect it to ship with a 6.7-inch 1080×2400 165Hz OLED screen, the aforementioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, up to 512GB of storage, a triple rear-facing camera system (50MP main with OIS, 50MP ultrawide with autofocus for macro shots and 12MP 2x optical zoom), a 60MP selfie snapper, and a 4,600mAh battery with wired charging from 125W, 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging.
