According to the product specialist

Pros
Battery life: 20 hours at normal use; 40 hours in energy saving mode.
Will direct you back on-route if you stray off-route.
Sensitive touchscreen for easy menu navigation.
GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite support for quick and accurate navigation.
Edge 830 Performance Bundle comes with Dual Heart Rate Monitor, Speed Sensor, and Cadence Sensor.
Special e-bike features on your cycle computer.
The ClimbPro feature displays which climbs lie ahead with information about length, gradient and duration.
When connected to an e-Bike that is compatible with ANT+® technology, you receive navigation guidance and alerts based on the battery status, assistance level and range.
Up to 16 hours of battery life, even in high-demand use.
Impressive battery life of up to 45 hours when used intensively (or up to 100 hours in battery saver mode).
New multi-band satellite technology gives you the best GPS reception, even when cycling in dense forest or in the busy city.
The Edge 1040 gives you insight into your VO2 max, recovery time, training load and learn how your body responds to training.
Cons
The 2.6" display can be a bit hard to read for the visually impaired to use for navigation.
For the live-track functions, a mobile phone is required.
The Edge Explore 2 is not compatible with the Power mount. Only the Edge Explore 2 Power can be connected to the Power mount.
Despite its good readability, the Edge 1040 is on the large side for a bike computer.
