Motorola Edge 60 Fusion: A few thoughtful features make it stand out
Sahil Bhalla The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion impresses with its design, display, and solid battery life, but faces challenges in camera performance and software optimization. Is it worth the price for budget-conscious consumers? Icy cold Gift this article There's one smartphone brand that has flown under the radar over the past year, and yet, quietly releasing smartphones alongside low-key marketing has helped the brand reap a 135.9% year-on-year (2023 to 2024) growth in market share. Yes, according to International Data Corporation's (IDC) 'Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker' February 2025 release, Motorola, now under the tutelage of Lenovo, is a winner. Its mid-range smartphones are its strongest suit and have helped propel the company's market share to grow from 2.7% in 2023 to 6.0% at the end of 2024. There's one smartphone brand that has flown under the radar over the past year, and yet, quietly releasing smartphones alongside low-key marketing has helped the brand reap a 135.9% year-on-year (2023 to 2024) growth in market share. Yes, according to International Data Corporation's (IDC) 'Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker' February 2025 release, Motorola, now under the tutelage of Lenovo, is a winner. Its mid-range smartphones are its strongest suit and have helped propel the company's market share to grow from 2.7% in 2023 to 6.0% at the end of 2024. Over the past month, the company has released the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus, with the Motorola Edge 60 Pro set to launch in a few days. I've been using the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion for some time now, and it's an easy, breezy, no-frills smartphone that one can recommend to many budget-conscious consumers out there. The Edge 60 Fusion starts at ₹ 22,999 and features an IP69 ingress protection rating, as well as MIL-STD-810H standard testing for enhanced durability. This time around, there is a significantly improved OLED display (with Gorilla Glass 7 protection), a larger battery capacity, increased storage, a microSD slot (for those who still use it), a refreshed chipset, and faux vegan leather finishes in three different Pantone colours; Slipstream, Amazonite and Zephyr. Let's talk design and display Pastels continue to be popular in smartphone design Let's start with the design and its vegan leather finish. The design doesn't veer too much from its predecessor. The device features a soft-touch vegan leather back, a thin plastic side frame, a curved front panel, and a small, minimalist camera island that doesn't protrude significantly. Thanks to a larger battery, the smartphone is slightly thicker, but the difference isn't noticeable in day-to-day usage. The Edge 60 Fusion comes in at 180g light and 8.2mm thick. In fact, it's lighter and thinner than the recently launched Nothing Phone (3a). It now boasts a military-grade certification for durability, as well as IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. In this price segment, it's one of the most durable smartphones available. The bezels are slim, and there's just the Motorola logo at the centre of the back panel. The handset offers a good in-hand feel, with one-handed usage being very much achievable. The only quibble I'd have is that the in-display fingerprint scanner is placed too low for convenience. Also read: This summer, bond with your kids in a no-Wi-Fi getaway The 6.7-inch pOLED panel is identical to its predecessor but offers a higher 1.5K (1220x2712p) resolution and a significantly improved peak brightness of 4,500 nits, one of the highest in this price segment. The refresh rate has been reduced from 144Hz to 120Hz, but for daily usage, the latter is more than sufficient. Curved displays may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they do add to the premium feel of the device. The colours are vivid, the text is crisp, and the contrast ratio is excellent. Couple this display with stereo speakers (with Dolby Atmos), and you have a winner in the segment. Outdoor usage is comfortable, and you needn't squint, thanks to 1400 nits high-brightness mode. The display does exhibit a fair amount of reflections and the viewing angles aren't the best (just in case you want to watch the latest IPL match with your co-passenger). It's worth noting that the display is equipped with 'wet touch technology'. It works even when used with wet fingers. Under the hood The smartphone has transitioned from Qualcomm to MediaTek. The Edge 60 Fusion is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of USFS 2.2 storage. While the smartphone excels in day-to-day tasks, it stumbles while gaming. Motorola just hasn't optimised the chipset for gaming. Many games are locked at 60 FPS, while similarly priced smartphones can achieve 90 or even 120 FPS. Thankfully, the smartphone never gets too hot to handle. Multitasking is handled with aplomb, and if you're a camera enthusiast, you're in luck. The smartphone features a microSD slot, allowing for storage expansion of up to 1TB. This is rare in the mid-range phone, and I'm glad Motorola has kept the flag flying high. Battery life is the Edge 60 Fusion's strongest suit, as the larger 5,500mAh battery shines. I easily got around 8 hours of screen-on-time with my medium-to-heavy usage pattern, and I didn't have to charge the smartphone until lunch on day two. With the 68W fast charger (included in the box), the smartphone can be juiced from 0-100 percent in approximately 44 minutes. Motorola includes a 68w fast charger in the box, allowing you to charge the Edge 60 Fusion from 0-100 percent in approximately 48 minutes. Less than perfect Yes, even after praising the smartphone extensively, there are things I didn't like about it, and I hope they will be improved in next year's successor. Those stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos are merely good on paper. It's acceptable to watch an IPL match with 60 percent volume. Anything above that, or anything with bass and heavy vocals, will get distorted. The cameras are truly a mixed bag. The camera setup is nearly identical to that of its predecessor. There is a 50MP (Sony LYT-700C) primary lens. A 13MP ultrawide lens flanks it. The device features a 32MP front-facing camera. This time around, Motorola has introduced a 3-in-1 ambient light sensor to help with exposure and improve white balance. The problem is not much the camera hardware and the processing. It's with the buggy camera app. It's laggy, unresponsive, and crashes at times. The experience is far from smooth, but something that can be easily fixed with a software update. With the Edge Fusion 60's primary camera, you get photos with punchy and vibrant colours, a good amount of sharpness and good details. It's the post-processing that can oversharpen the image a tad too much. Processing takes a little longer than you'd expect. There are Natural and Enhanced styles of processing. With Natural processing, white balance is mostly fine. Enhanced is essentially unusable, mainly because it takes too long to process and offers no meaningful improvements. The ultrawide is good. It has a narrower dynamic range, and the photos are sharp and vibrant, similar to those from the primary camera. I used the ultrawide a lot more than I thought I would, and I came away impressed. During low-light photography, I noticed that the noise was under control, but the details were missing. There's a lot of oversharpening here, and it feels like Motorola isn't optimising the software to take full advantage of the sensor at hand. Portrait mode shots are decent, with good edge detection (though not perfect) when shooting in daylight. Selfies are acceptable for sharing on social media, but videos appear off because of the colour reproduction (Motorola uses the ancient Rec.601 colour space). Software is something I haven't touched upon because it's nothing to write home about. Hello UI (based on Android 15) offers good customisation and theming options, along with a sprinkling of AI features, but it needs a smoother experience to succeed in this space truly. Bloatware is still present in some places, although it has considerably reduced from previous versions. While most AI features are standard and present across Android smartphones, there is one notable exception: Catch Me Up, a Motorola exclusive that has the potential to be useful. It's there to provide a summary of all the notifications you may have missed but doesn't discuss the notifications you've dismissed. Then there's Pay Attention, Remember This, Canvas AI and more. Motorola has promised three years of OS updates and four years of security patches. Verdict There's the Poco X7 Pro, with its superior performance, which is the Edge 60 Fusion's biggest competition. The only other alternative I can think of is the Nothing Phone (3a), which comes with a unique design and a dedicated telephoto camera. Also read: Nothing Phone 3, 3a review Still, at ₹ 22,999, the Edge 60 Fusion has all the makings of a solid choice for a good budget smartphone. There's the premium build (with IP68+IP69 ratings), excellent battery life, AI cops, and a base variant that comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The pOLED display is bright and vibrant with sharp text, and the camera is good (barring the video quality) for this price segment. Performance is good, and only gamers should look elsewhere. Motorola's Edge 60 Fusion is a solid all-rounder, and as they say, it just gets the job done. It's a no-frills smartphone with a premium design, smooth experience, and reliable battery life.

The new Motorola Edge 60 has make me think twice about buying a Pixel 9a
The new Razr 60 Ultra clamshell might be Motorola's hot new thing, but the firm hasn't been asleep at the wheel when it comes to mid-range phones. The Edge 60 Pro has just landed in the UK and Europe to take the fight to Google's Pixel 9a – and its baby brother looks like even more of a bargain. The duo follow on from the ultra-affordable Edge 60 Fusion launched in early April, adding extra power and more capable cameras while sticking with the same colourful, contrarian styling. That means a quad-curved 6.7in screen, rather than flat glass and flat sides, plus a selection of Pantone-approved hues. For the Edge 60 that means Gibraltar Sea blue and Shamrock green, with a canvas- or leather-inspired textured rear material. The Edge 60 Pro goes one better with Shadow grey, Dazzling Blue and Sparkling Grape purple, with leather or nylon-effect finishes. Both phones are ultra-durable, too: they've got IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, are MIL-STD-810H rated against shocks and drops, and get Corning Gorilla Glass 7i up front to stave off scrapes and scratches. You're getting OLED across the board, with a 1220p resolution, 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, HDR10+ support and a retina-searingly bright 4500 nit peak brightness. Going purely by the spec sheets, it looks like the Edge 60 could be the sweet spot. It's packing the same Sony-supplied lead camera as the Fusion, with an f/1.8 aperture and optical image stabilisation, but pairs it with a 50MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto good for 3x optical zoom. There's also a 50MP selfie cam up front. The rest of the specs look familiar, including the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, 8 or 12GB of RAM, 256 or 512GB of on-board storage, and 5200mAh battery good for 68W wired charging. That's a lot of phone for £380, and only slightly more than you'd spend on the £299 Edge 60 Fusion. The Edge 60 Pro steps things up with a much more potent Dimensity 8350 Extreme CPU, and a considerably larger 6000mAh battery – which can manage 90W wired refuelling and 15W wireless top-ups. It'll set you back £600, which puts it in the firing line of Google's regular Pixel 9. It helps that the Edge series keeps Motorola's stripped-back take on Android 15, with an out-the-box software suite that should be largely free from bloat. The biggest new addition is Moto AI, a new take on the virtual assistant that uses Google Gemini to recall reminders and catch you up on missed notifications. A Journal keeps track of notes, screenshots and photos, so you don't have to go hunting for them later. As ever, Motorola US continues to do its own thing with its mobile line-up, so you won't be able to buy either model there. For UK shoppers, the two new phones are going to be available directly from the Motorola web store, as well as all the usual retailers.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion leak teases an extra camera and cool AI chops
Motorola is the latest brand to go all-in with the 'AI on phone' trend for its 2025 lineup, following in the footsteps of big players like Google, Samsung, and nearly every other notable Chinese label. As per a fresh leak, Motorola's upcoming Edge-series phone will be among its first non-foldable phones to offer the company's Moto AI stack. Leakster Evan Blass has shared what appears to be marketing images of the Moto Edge 60 Fusion. Of particular attention is the Moto AI branding on the leaked material. So far, Motorola's AI software goodies have been exclusive to its current-gen foldable phones and the Edge 50 Ultra flagship. Moreover, it's worth noting that the whole system is still under beta-testing phase. Announced last year, Moto AI embraces Google's artificial intelligence stack, which includes access to products such as the Gemini assistant, the Imagen photo-creation model, and Google Cloud Vertex. In its initial shape, Moto AI offered a Magic Canvas tool that turns text descriptions into creative images, alongside a Style Sync feature that creates wallpapers based on what users are wearing. As part of the ongoing beta tests, the pool of AI features has increased dramatically, and with a more practical approach. There's a new Catch Me Up feature that summarizes all the unseen notifications for users. On the other hand, the Remember This feature adds a personal note to the onboard Journal. All you have to do is summon the Moto AI with a gesture, snap a picture, and use voice commands for saving the material. Thanks to the integrated search feature with a memory system, the Journal will help users check out what they saved in the past using natural language descriptions. Simplify your life with moto ai - #LenovoTechWorld 2024 There's also a Pay Attention feature that records voice conversations, automatically transcribes them, and adds a condensed summary to it, as well. The approach is not too different from what Apple's Notes app has to offer following its Apple Intelligence makeover. With the Edge 60 Fusion, it seems Motorola will offer the whole Moto AI toolkit out of the box. As far as the hardware goes, the upcoming phone will apparently serve three rear cameras. The Edge 50 Fusion, on the other hand, came armed with two rear lenses viz. a 50-megapixel primary snapper and a 13MP ultrawide camera. Its successor is most likely adding a zoom camera into the mix. The leaked images also confirm an optically-stabilized 50-megapixel main camera on the Edge 60 Fusion, which uses one of Sony's LYTIA image sensors. The vegan leather finish is here to stay for another generation, it seems. There's a new sea green color option this time around, rocking a fresh textile-inspired surface finish on the back panel. Aside from an updated palette of colors, there's another striking design change visible on the Edge 60 Fusion. Unlike the sloping vertical sides on the Edge 50 Fusion, its successor seems to adopt a quad-curved display with symmetrical bezels on all sides. At first glance, it almost appears to be a replica of the excellent OnePlus 7 Pro, save for the centrally-positioned selfie camera breaking the seamless display aesthetics. Details on the rest of the innards are still under the wraps, and there is no word from Motorola regarding an official launch date for the Edge 60 series. But if the Edge 50 series' market arrival is anything to go by, the next wave of Edge series phones might be announced at some point in April this year.
