Reviews for the Motorola Moto E40
Motorola offers a smartphone under 150 Euros (~$169) with the Moto E40. If you have always wanted a fast screen in your cell phone on a tight budget, you should pay attention. However, savings had to be made elsewhere...

Archive.org versionThe Motorola Moto E40 isn't flawless, but it gets the work done, just like most sub 10,000 phones. The phone has a durable build (IP52 rating), a large and fluid 90Hz display, and a long battery life. It comes with decent hardware, and I don't see why a casual user would be unhappy with it. Until you load something hefty, the Unisoc T700 SoC works along smoothly. The loading time for major apps and games is longer than ideal. While the near-stock Android experience will please purists, which is a rarity in the budget price range, the camera performance may disappoint. Having said that, there are smartphones in this price bracket that have an FHD+ display, an ultrawide camera, and fast charging capabilities. But they don't always come with the perks that come with this smartphone. In the end, everything comes down to this or that. To put it another way, if you want a stock and snappy Android experience, you'll find it in Motorola Moto E40, but with some trade-offs.

Archive.org versionOne of the main reasons why you need to buy the Motorola Moto E40 is because of the bloatware-free interface that gives an almost identical feel to the original Andriod. Also, the screen, performance, and battery will not let you down at all. But the same things can’t be said for the camera department, and that doesn’t improve the camera software. In short, if you’re looking for a clean Android experience and an affordable phone with long battery life on top, the Motorola Moto E40 is worth recommending. Although if you go with Redmi, Tecno and Infinix branded phones, you’re more likely to notice bloatware. So it’s hard to recommend any alternative at this price range, but it’s worth checking out the Realme Narzo 50i as an alternative.

Archive.org versionThe Moto E40 is the latest offering from Motorola in the sub-Rs. 10,000 market. It offers decent hardware, and for a casual user, I see no reason to complain. The Unisoc T700 SoC chugs along just fine until you launch something heavy. For large apps and games, the load time is longer than ideal. While the near-stock Android experience might keep purists happy, its camera performance won't impress anyone. If stock Android appeals to you and you're on a tight budget, the Moto E40 makes a strong case for itself. Those looking for alternatives can look at the Realme Narzo 30A (Review) or the recently reviewed Infinix Hot 11S (Review)..

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

The company has operations in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America and employs more than 10,000 people worldwide.
67.16%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
