Motorola Edge 60 launching in India on 10 June: What to expect?
Motorola has confirmed that its latest budget phone, the Edge 60 is launching in India on 10 June. The Lenovo sub-brand has also shared a number of details about the latest Edge device which will join the Edge 60 Stylus and Edge 60 Pro in the budget lineup.
Motorola Edge 60 will come with a 6.7 inch 1.5K Quad Curved pOLED display with HDR10+ support and 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. It will come with IP68 + IP69 rating, meaning the phone can withstand being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of water while also being able to handle cold/hot water jets from any direction.
The teaser images shown by Motorola suggest that the design of the Edge 60 will remain largely similar to what we have seen on ther Edge 60 lineup devices this year with a vegan leather back and square camera module.
Apart from that we'll have to rely on the leaks to figure out what to expect about the upcoming device. As per tipster Abhishek Yadav on X (formerly Twitter), the Edge 60 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset which is the successor to last year's Dimensity 7300 SoC seen on many mid-range phones from CMF Phone 1 to Infinix Note 50s and Lava Agni 3.
It could come paired with UFS 2.2 storage and LPDDR4x RAM. The phone is said to run on Motorola's own UI based on Android 15 with a promise 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
As for optics, it could feature a 50MP Sony LYT700C primary shooter with OIS and a 50MP ultra-wide angle lens with 3x optical zoom. There could also be a 50MP shooter on the front for selfies and video calls.
The phone could pack a 5,500mAh battery with support for 68W of wired fast charging. It isn't yet clear if there will also be support for wireless charging or not.

Musk vs Trump: Elon Musk fan Ian Miles Cheon asks him to move space program to UAE
Image generated by AI for creative and illustrative purposes only There's always one tweet that distills geopolitical fantasy into 280 characters. This time, it came from Elon Musk loyalist Ian Miles Cheong: 'Elon Musk should simply move his entire SpaceX operation to the United Arab Emirates. The UAE stands at the forefront of technological progress and mankind's ascent to the stars.' The idea sounds far-fetched. But it also speaks to something very real: the UAE's growing ambition to become a serious player in the global space race, just as Musk finds himself increasingly disillusioned with Washington, and estranged from his on-again-off-again political ally, Donald Trump. A Rift at the Edge of Orbit The Musk–Trump relationship, once a spectacle of anti-establishment synergy, has hit turbulence. Musk, long the poster boy for public-private innovation, turned sharply against Trump's latest bloated federal spending bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination.' Trump, ever retaliatory, suggested the US could save 'billions' by cutting off Musk's federal contracts. In MAGA-speak, that's a declaration of war. As Tesla and X stocks tanked, erasing over $150 billion in market value, Musk threatened to decommission the Dragon capsule, the spacecraft that connects Earth to the International Space Station. That post came just minutes after Trump floated cancelling SpaceX subsidies. For a brief moment, the world's most influential entrepreneur looked ready to break orbit, not just from Earth, but from America. That's when the UAE entered the chat. A Desert with Dreams of the Stars While the Musk-Trump bromance combusts on X, the United Arab Emirates has been quietly, and not so quietly, building the infrastructure of a spacefaring nation. The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) in Dubai is now home to a replica Falcon 9 booster, a symbolic tribute to Musk's engineering triumph. In 2020, the UAE launched its Hope probe to Mars, making it the first Arab nation to embark on an interplanetary mission. It reached Martian orbit in 2021. Unlike many space programs that began with Cold War posturing, the UAE's ambitions are rooted in a long-term economic and technological vision. Its Mars 2117 project imagines a human settlement on the Red Planet within a century. The country has invested heavily in satellite tech, astronaut training (two UAE astronauts have now flown to space), and international partnerships with NASA , Roscosmos, and JAXA. And most crucially, it has money. Oil money. Sovereign wealth fund money. The kind of money that could theoretically bankroll a massive SpaceX relocation, if only US export laws allowed it. Reality Check: Can Musk Really Move? While the fantasy of a SpaceX launch site in Abu Dhabi sparks excitement, it hits a hard wall named ITAR, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Aerospace technology like Falcon rockets and Dragon capsules is tightly controlled by the US government, especially because of SpaceX's work with NASA and the Pentagon. Relocating operations overseas would require navigating a minefield of national security laws, intellectual property battles, and contract obligations. Then there's the infrastructure: SpaceX's launch pads in Florida and Texas, its Starlink deployment network, and its deep entanglement with the US military-industrial complex. Even for someone as unpredictable as Musk, uprooting an entire space ecosystem is more fever dream than flight plan. But what is serious, and worth watching, is how quickly the idea caught fire. Because when powerful partnerships fall apart, when the emperor of disruption turns on the emperor of MAGA, imagination fills the vacuum. And the UAE, with its deep pockets and deeper ambitions, is perfectly poised to be the world's favourite hypothetical. A Marriage of Convenience, Deorbited The collapse of the Musk-Trump dynamic is more than just a tech billionaire breaking up with a former President. It symbolises the end of a political alliance that once seemed like the future of American populism. Musk was the brains, Trump the brawn. Their combined disdain for bureaucracy made them the heroes of a Silicon Valley–meets–Talk Radio voter base. But now? Trump accuses Musk of 'losing it' after his subsidies began to vanish. Musk retaliates by quoting House Republicans and teasing a centrist third party. Their shared fantasy of dismantling the 'deep state' has devolved into petty poll wars and social media jabs. And in that vacuum, the UAE has emerged, not as a saviour, but as a symbol of what a forward-looking, well-funded, and ideologically agnostic space agenda might look like. Between Hope and Hype The truth is, Elon Musk isn't moving to the Emirates anytime soon. But the fact that people think he could is a testament to what the UAE has managed to build, credibility. In the span of two decades, it has gone from oil-rich sandbox to serious contender in the celestial stakes. Its universities are training aerospace engineers. Its astronauts are flying with NASA. Its space centre has a waiting list for international collaborations. So, while the Dragon capsule remains on US soil, the battle for the future of space may not be limited to the US, Russia, and China anymore. The UAE is still in the early innings, but it's playing to win. And as for Musk and Trump? Their Cold War is far from over. But in the echoes of that fallout, a new contender has quietly entered the arena, bathed in desert light, aiming for the stars.

Elon Musk backtracks on threat to scrap SpaceX Dragon Capsule after Trump clash
SpaceX boss Elon Musk's warning about retiring the Dragon spacecraft turned out to be more talk than takeoff. On a day filled with high-altitude social media drama, the world's richest man briefly claimed SpaceX would decommission its Dragon capsules, a key part of NASA's astronaut and cargo transport system, only to reverse course within hours."SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately,' Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter), after President Donald Trump threatened to cut off government contracts to Musk's companies, including SpaceX and was unclear how serious Musk's threat was, but several hours later — in a reply to another X user, he said he wouldn't do we won't decommission Dragon.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 6, 2025 Dragon capsules are NASA's lifeline to the International Space Station (ISS), ferrying astronauts and food, science gear, and other supplies. The US space agency has relied on SpaceX since 2020 to reduce dependence on Russia's Soyuz capsules — which, by the way, still fly with at least one American now, SpaceX's Dragon remains the only US option for crew transport. Boeing's rival Starliner capsule is still grounded after a troubled test flight last year that forced two NASA astronauts to return via SpaceX's vehicle in March, nine months after agency not only contracts SpaceX to launch science missions and deliver ISS supplies, it has also tapped Musk's Starship mega-rocket to land humans on the moon later this decade. And last year, SpaceX was awarded the job of helping deorbit the ISS safely when its mission private missions depend on Dragon. Axiom Space, based in Houston, is chartering a flight next week using one of the the drama, NASA made no public comment about the brief Dragon scare.'It was unclear how serious Musk's threat was,' one observer noted — a statement that could serve as the unofficial motto of the SpaceX CEO's online for now, all systems are go. No capsules are being mothballed. No astronauts are stranded. And Dragon, like Musk's mood, is back on InTrending Reel
