Motorola Edge 60 Fusion long-term review: A stylish, compact powerhouse
Motorola Edge 60 Fusion
stands out as a premium-looking smartphone that blends performance and comfort at an attractive price point.
With its sleek, curved-edge design and soft contours, the phone offers a comfortable in-hand feel, making it ideal for all-day use. Its compact form is a refreshing change from the increasingly bulky phones dominating the market and it's clear Motorola has designed this device with everyday usability in mind.
With the rising popularity of compact phones, many smartphone makers are shifting toward sleeker, more pocketable devices. The Edge 60 Fusion aligns perfectly with this trend, offering a balance of performance, portability and style.
Here is a quick review of the device after using it for two months.
The Moto Edge 60 Fusion has proven to be a reliable daily driver. It handles most tasks with ease — browsing, streaming, messaging and light gaming. While I did notice the occasional hiccup during heavy multitasking or when running more demanding apps, it's nothing unexpected at this price point. In fact, for what it offers, the performance-to-price ratio is excellent.
What really sets it apart visually are the Pantone-certified colors — Slipstream (grey), Zephyr (pink) and Amazonite (teal). The canvas and vegan leather-inspired finish adds a premium touch and feels great in the hand. It's not just about looks either—the phone is rated IP68 and IP69 for water and dust resistance, which means it's tough enough to handle splashes, rain or dusty environments without worry. The phone feels durable thanks to Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.
The device has a 6.67-inch pOLED display. With a 120Hz refresh rate and a staggering 4500 nits peak brightness, everything from streaming videos to scrolling through social feeds feels smooth and ultra-vivid. The colors are punchy and rich and even under harsh sunlight, the screen remains easy to read.
The stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos deliver an immersive sound experience. Whether I am watching a movie or playing music out loud, the audio is full, crisp and surprisingly loud for a phone. But it is the flagship smartphones that are typically equipped with such features, which is why this Motorola smartphone is a value-for-money proposition.
Camera & performance
On the camera side, Motorola has stepped up. The 50MP Lytia main sensor, backed by Moto AI, takes consistently sharp and well-balanced photos. It automatically adjusts settings based on the scene. The 13MP ultra-wide camera with Macro Vision is great for wide-angle shots and those extreme close-ups. The 32MP front camera handles them beautifully with natural skin tones and excellent detail. What's cool is the 3-in-1 ambient sensor that adjusts the camera settings based on real-time lighting. It makes a difference, especially in tricky lighting conditions.
The Moto Edge 60 Fusion is powered by the
MediaTek Dimensity 7300
, and with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, I've had no issues with multitasking, gaming, or general performance. There's also a 1TB microSD slot if you need more space.
Conclusion
The 5200mAh battery has easily lasted me over a full day with moderate to heavy use. And when I need a quick top-up, the 68W wired charging gets me back to over 50% in about 20 minutes. That's super convenient.
Software-wise, it's running Hello UI based on Android 15 and Motorola promises 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches. There are also some genuinely useful Moto AI features built-in—Catch Me Up gives me a digest of important updates and notifications and Pay Attention helps me remember key info from meetings or conversations without writing things down. Style Sync even adapts the phone's look to match my wallpaper.
Overall, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion has struck a great balance between premium features and affordability. At ₹20,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, it's hard to beat the value it offers. It's stylish, fast, feature-packed and genuinely enjoyable to use day to day.

India beats China as top smartphone supplier to the US, thanks to Apple's big iPhone shift
India has become the largest supplier of smartphones to the US for the first time, overtaking China, and it's Apple that has made this possible. According to new data from research firm Canalys (now part of Omdia), Indian-made smartphone shipments to the US jumped by a massive 240 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. These phones now account for 44 per cent of all smartphones shipped into the US during this period, up from just 13 per cent a year ago. At the same time, China's share fell sharply to 25 per cent, down from 61 per cent in Q2 2024. The reason? A mix of shifting supply chains, trade tensions, and Apple's growing dependence on Indian factories to meet US has been steadily ramping up its manufacturing base in India over the past few years, and that effort is now clearly paying off. "India became the leading manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US for the very first time in Q2 2025, largely driven by Apple's accelerated supply chain shift to India amid an uncertain trade landscape between the US and China," said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at the US and China continue to clash over tariffs and trade policies, smartphone companies have started to rethink their manufacturing strategies. For Apple, this has meant making more of its iPhones in India — especially the standard models like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 — while still leaning on China for the larger-scale production of Pro models. But that balance seems to be shifting. In fact, Apple has already started assembling some iPhone 16 Pro models in India, though its main Pro production still depends on Chinese factories for now. Other brands like Samsung and Motorola have also started sending more India-made phones to the US, but their contribution to this shift is smaller in scale compared to Apple's. Samsung, for instance, still relies heavily on Vietnam for most of its production. Motorola's supply chain is also largely rooted in China, though it has increased output from Indian facilities in recent bigger picture here is that US smartphone makers are clearly looking to diversify where they get their phones assembled. Canalys analysts say that concerns over tariffs and unpredictable trade rules have forced vendors to front-load inventory (acquiring a large amount of inventory earlier than usual or in advance of anticipated needs) and quickly adjust their sourcing plans. India's growing role as a manufacturing base for global smartphone brands means it's becoming a major player in this space, and not just for low-cost phones, but for high-end devices as this dramatic supply chain shift, the US smartphone market itself only grew by only 1 per cent in Q2 2025. iPhone shipments fell 11 per cent year-on-year, while Samsung's shipments grew 38 per cent. Motorola also saw a modest 2 per cent bump, with Google and TCL rounding out the top five brands.- Ends

Dharmayana – Daily Hindu App Raises USD 500K in Pre-Seed After a Strong Bootstrapped Year
Ex-Microsoft, Motorola & Amazon Leaders Reimagine Holistic Hindu Living Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 29: In a world increasingly driven by convenience and technology, Dharmayana, a faith-tech startup, is redefining how Hindus stay connected to their religious and spiritual roots. Bootstrapped in 2024, Dharmayana aims to be the authentic digital companion for holistic Hindu living across all dimensions — Aachara (rituals and customs), Shastra (astrology and allied services), Bhakti (devotion), Adhyayana (scriptures and culture), Dhaana (donations), and Svastya (health and wellness). 'Hinduism is incredibly rich but fragmented, and can be hard to navigate — especially for those in nuclear families seeking dharmic guidance,' said Mohan, Founder of Dharmayana and a seasoned leader from Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, Ola, and Halodoc. 'We are building Dharmayana to make authentic rituals and spiritual wisdom accessible, trusted, and easy to integrate into modern daily life.' Dharmayana's early traction reflects strong fundamentals, driven by product–market fit and organic adoption. The platform now serves over 500,000 users, with 100,000+ monthly active users. In January 2025, it secured $500K in pre-seed funding, backed by industry veterans and former colleagues from companies like Grab, Ola, Halodoc, LinkedIn, Amazon, and Motorola. Targeting India's $56 billion Hindu spiritual market, much of which remains offline, Dharmayana is now preparing for its next phase: scaling nationally and becoming a category leader in the faith-tech space. The company is planning its first institutional round in 2026 to fuel this expansion. A Daily Spiritual Companion, Built for the Modern Hindu Dharmayana is designed to build daily engagement and habit formation through features like the Panchanga (Hindu calendar), daily prayers, festival guides, personalized predictions, and guided dhyana — all free to use. The platform also offers affordable and high-trust services such as Archana, Chadav, Kundali consultations, and a Free Birthday Pooja, helping users ease into digital spiritual experiences. This approach has driven strong early value realization in a category where digital adoption is still evolving. As trust deepens, users naturally progress to premium offerings — including custom handwritten kundalis, astrology consultations, and guided rituals at sacred sites like Kashi, Rameshwaram, and Brindavan. This thoughtful value ladder has helped Dharmayana achieve both retention and early monetization. 'Dharmayana is a Daily Hindu App — by blending intuitive design with timeless tradition, we've created a spiritual companion that helps seekers stay meaningfully connected to their roots,' Mohan concludes.
