I still remember that moto edge X30 won the first generation of Snapdragon 8 platform that year, with a score of over one million easily; later moto X30 Pro is also the first batch of flagship phones on the Snapdragon 8+ platform on the market, and the room temperature score is also easily increased to 1.09 million. Now, the new flagship phone moto X40, which has been upgraded in moto, has been released. It not only comes on the market with the second-generation Snapdragon 8, but also has added IP68-level dust and waterproof, giving this phone an outdoor all-weather experience, positioning the "SUV in the mobile phone", making the flagship more comprehensive. I also got this flagship product at the first time. What is the experience? Let's explain in detail.
The second generation Snapdragon 8 is blessed, and the surging power is gushing out
In fact, Motorola moto X40 is one of the few mobile phones on the market that are equipped with the second generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform. The performance of Snapdragon 8Gen2 is 35% higher than that of the previous generation, and the energy efficiency is 40%. With the support of hardware-level ray tracing, you can also experience the real impression brought by ray tracing dynamic wallpaper. In addition, the combination of LPDDR5X memory + UFS4.0 flash memory together forms a new generation of performance iron triangle, making this phone reach a true flagship level at the hardware level, and the actual measurement can easily reach more than 1.28 million indoor scores at 24℃.
mobile phone power consumption has always been a place where manufacturers secretly compete. The moto X40 is pre-installed with the MAXE system scheduling engine - Moto AI eXperience Engine. This MAXE engine can dynamically schedule AI energy efficiency for seven common user scenarios: video, games, reading, navigation, VoIP, camera, and fast charging. The specific performance is that it allows you to have a stable and fast response user experience in different applications. This is quite important for the performance of mobile phone battery life and heating.
Take the game experience as an example. In " Genshin Impact ", the image quality has been adjusted to extremely high. The frame rate of is locked at 60 frames. After 30 minutes of running the picture + clearing the monster game, the frame rate can be maintained at the average value of 58.9 throughout the whole process. At this time, it was measured that the maximum temperature of the back cover of the phone was only 40℃. It can be seen that the large-circulation three-dimensional cooling system 2.0 used by moto X40 is still very useful.
Then the picture quality and frame rate were adjusted to extremely high in the game " Honor of Kings ". After a game, the average frame rate was measured to be 89 frames, and the frame rate curve was also very stable. It can be seen that after adjusting several generations of Snapdragon processors, moto has become more skillful and accurate, and the progress is very obvious.

Today's smartphones are no longer just call tools or electronic wallets, but have become a super comprehensive terminal for people's daily life and work. Among them, photography ability is an aspect that consumers pay special attention to.
moto X40 is composed of a 50-megapixel intelligent original painting main camera + a 50-megapixel 117° ultra-wide-angle macro camera + a 12-megapixel portrait lens. The 50-megapixel intelligent original painting main camera supports the intelligent image mode of the original painting of mountains and seas. That is to say, taking photos under appropriate lighting conditions can automatically output 50-megapixels, which can bring a clearer, more delicate and richer sample presentation effect. This function is especially suitable for photographers who like outdoor exploration to restore the beauty of the original world.

In addition, I remember that the high-end portrait mode of moto X30 Pro left a deep impression on me. This time the moto X40 still retains this function. The system provides three focal segments of humanistic 35mm, classic 50mm and close-up 85mm, and pursues beauty with different focal segments closer to the perspective of the human eye. Combined with the post-algorithm algorithm debugging, the actual sample performance is very eye-catching, the automatic highlighting of the portrait and the background blur are just right, and the imaging effect is very powerful.
More rear lens shooting samples:
In addition, people are becoming more and more accustomed to using their mobile phones to shoot professional videos such as Vlog. The moto X40 supports automatic focus tracking function in the video, which can lock the focus on objects in motion during recording, allowing you to ensure that the subject is always "focus" even in complex picture scenes, effectively avoiding out-of-focus, blur and other situations.
Then I experienced the anchor mode brought by the full upgrade of the moto X40 based on the dual-view mode. This function is simply the benefit of video bloggers who often hold their mobile phone to take videos and videos. They only need to turn on the anchor mode during the dual-view video recording process, and keep their faces in the front camera view area. When speaking, they can automatically start the foreground box, and the front and back scenes appear in the shooting screen at the same time. When speaking, the foreground box will be automatically closed, and only the rear scene will be retained. This greatly improves the efficiency of recording video oral playback, and no longer needs to stop generating multiple video clips frequently, reducing the cost of post-work.
For extreme sports enthusiasts, you don’t need to buy anything like GOPro, Insta360, etc., you can use the moto X40 with IP68 dustproof and waterproof function to be able to be responsible for the outdoor shooting environment. For example, the horizon locking function can even be described as anti-shake. After turning on, the video will automatically lock the horizontal horizon. No matter how violently your phone shakes or even the screen turns 180 degrees, the mobile phone video will firmly lock the horizontal horizon. It is especially suitable for underwater, skiing, skateboarding and other limited sports shooting.
Appearance design: Gaussian curvature + IP68, I love this hardcore aesthetic!
Many fans cheered: This time X40 is finally on IP68! This means that the phone can be used in outdoor scenes that are underwater and all-weather. In fact, the ability to achieve IP68 capabilities also means that the overall process and material of the mobile phone have also met quite strict standards. For example, in order to achieve high-level dust and waterproofing, the rear camera module adopts an integrated, non-porous four-curved surface design and AR+AF special double coating, which brings excellent anti-fog and anti-graze characteristics. At the same time, the hardness of the glass surface is as high as 9H, which can have excellent wear resistance even in harsh outdoor environments.
So what specific applications do mobile phone IP68 have? Except for what everyone can think of: put it under the faucet if it is dirty, take it under the faucet, pick it up and check it out when you have a phone number or message when you are taking a shower, and accidentally fall into the water and continue to use it. In fact, the moto X40 can also be used in various extremely complex environments, such as diving and underwater shooting.
Imagine that when you go to Sanya to dive, pick up the moto X40 to take underwater shots (underwater can be done through moto gestures, including turning on the flashlight, camera, switching front and back cameras, etc.), not to mention how cool it is! Even under water as deep as 1.5 meters, it can still work normally for up to 30 minutes.
In addition to waterproofing, IP68 also means high-level dustproofing. For example, in extreme and harsh environments such as Gobi Desert and mountaineering and off-roading, you don’t have to worry about the volume of your phone, charging hole and other locations that get sand and dust in due to the lack of tight sealing.
In addition, the moto X40 also brings a twelve variation Gaussian curvature body, which will include a total of 12 edge positions including the front, back and rear camera modules, all of which will add a round and exquisite curve design like pebbles, which is very visually beautiful. Moreover, the aviation aluminum midframe and the 7th-generation Corning Gorilla Glass back panel all give the fuselage a strong enough anti-fall and scratch resistance. The Motorola , which I thought was designed, is back!
On the screen, the moto X40 uses a 6.7-inch 165Hz high-refresh OLED large screen, passed the dual SGS low blue light eye protection certification, and the HEV is only 4.92% of the ultra-low. It supports 100% full-scene DC dimming and anti-screen flashing, as well as 4K HDR10+ imaging system + 10bit color management and Dolby Vision certified video playback, especially when watching your phone in dark light at night, it is not as dazzling as iPhone14 ( Apple is a low-frequency 480Hz PWM dimming, which is not visually friendly in dark light environments).Of course, for health, it is recommended that you look at your phone less before going to bed at night. The audio and video performance of
Moto X40 is also very good. The 165Hz full-scene high-refresh large screen and lower HEV blue light share brings a smoother and more eye-protecting screen viewing during daily use. It supports 4K HDR10+ imaging system + 10bit color management, which can bring a more delicate and natural cinema-level picture color presentation effect. Relying on the collaboration of software and hardware, it meets the gaming and video entertainment needs of low power consumption and high brush experience.
charging test: standard equipped with a 125W gallium nitride GaN charging head, with a powerful speed!
This time, the moto X40 has a built-in 4600mAh capacity and a large battery capacity, but it is also very unexpected. First of all, the fast charging that I felt that moto didn't value much was changed this time on the moto X40, which directly supports 125W flash charging in one step; secondly, a 125W gallium nitride GaN flash charging head with Type-C interface is randomly included. The gallium nitride charger is characterized by its very small size, but the charging efficiency is very high, the heating is low, but the cost is also not low. This time, the standard gallium nitride of the moto X40 is also very sincere.
In actual test, using the original charger, the phone can be charged to 50% in 7 to 8 minutes, and it can be fully charged in less than 20 minutes. For example, you don’t need to panic when you go out and find that your phone has no power. You can quickly recover your phone by using a few minutes of packing, which is very efficient. In addition, the moto X40 also supports 15W wireless charging and up to 15W reverse charging. For example, during an outdoor adventure, your friend’s phone is out of power, and you can also temporarily power it, which is a very practical function.
System Experience Evaluation: Myui 5.0 architecture is fully renewed and upgraded
Moto mobile phones have been focusing on building myui system. This time, moto X40 has also been upgraded to the latest myui5.0. For example, a lot of optimizations have been made in terms of system color, icon/widget design, detail optimization, etc. The most intuitive manifestation is that the icon and system interface are better and more pleasing.
In terms of the system, the once well-received one-click touch function has also been fully upgraded this time. The new one-click reach 3.0 function can map more functions and operations, such as health code, startup ready for, system settings, scan, etc., which can be accessed directly with one click, making the operation more convenient and fast.
Last summary, the moto X40 has a lot of "ambitions" this time. It is not just about being a "cost-performance phone with fever", but is working towards a more comprehensive and balanced real flagship phone. The X40 has made great progress in body texture, system optimization and ease of use. It is better to use, look better, and is more durable. It is my most profound summary of its comprehensive experience and is worth recommending.
