Motorola Edge 60 Pro review: Capable mid-ranger with strong battery, camera
Lenovo-owned Motorola launched the Edge 60 Pro smartphone in India on April 30. Successor to last year's Edge 50 Pro, the 2025 model is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme system-on-chip (SoC), in contrast to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the previous generation model. Available at a starting price of Rs 29,999, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro seems too good to be true on paper. Is it? Let us find out. Note: Having previously reviewed both the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus, occasional comparisons are inevitable. Motorola Edge 60 Pro: Pricing The Motorola Edge 60 Pro starts at Rs 29,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant, while the 12GB + 256GB option is priced at Rs 33,999. Design The Motorola Edge 60 Pro bears a close resemblance to its predecessor, the Motorola Edge 50 Pro, with the exception of the camera module. The newer model features a quad-lens rear camera setup, compared to the triple-lens configuration on the earlier version. Another distinguishing feature is the addition of a dedicated artificial intelligence (AI) button, used to activate Motorola's native AI tools. Beyond these differences, the design remains consistent. A similar aesthetic is also evident in the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus. The rear panel of the Edge 60 Pro is offered in two finishes – nylon and vegan leather. The frame's side panels are made of plastic and accommodate the power and volume buttons on the right-hand side, with the AI button positioned on the left. The bottom edge houses the SIM tray, a USB-C port for charging and data transfer, and a speaker grille. Display and Audio The Motorola Edge 60 Pro has a 6.7-inch super HD (1.5K resolution) quad-curved pOLED display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate. Motorola said the display on the Edge 60 Pro is validated by colour science entity PANTONE for accuracy. Moreover, the display carries a PANTONE Skintone certification. With IP68 and IP69 ratings, the device is protected against dust, water ingress, and submersion. The inclusion of a water-touch feature ensures the display remains usable even with water droplets present on the screen. Readers familiar with the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion review may find the Edge 60 Pro's display largely similar. The display boasts a 96.47 per cent screen-to-body ratio, with curved edges enhancing the multimedia experience. However, these curved sides also reflect light, occasionally making the screen appear overly bright for comfortable viewing. Additionally, the peak brightness under direct sunlight was underwhelming, falling short of expectations. A recurring issue observed was ghost touches around the curved edges, which proved difficult to ignore. Multimedia viewing on the Edge 60 Pro is commendable. In terms of audio, stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos produce loud and immersive sound. However, the smartphone underperforms in delivering deep bass. Audio during gaming sessions remains consistent and is well-managed. The dual speakers perform adequately in daily use. Audio maintains a fair depth, and dialogue clarity is preserved. At higher volume levels – beyond 60 to 70 per cent – slight distortion becomes apparent. Nevertheless, the volume is sufficient for casual activities such as listening to podcasts or watching videos without external speakers. The audio quality in the Edge 60 Fusion was somewhat lacking, but the Edge 60 Stylus and Pro models offered a noticeable improvement. AI Tools A distinctive feature of the Edge 60 Pro, absent from the Fusion and Stylus variants, is the dedicated AI button on the left-hand side of the frame. The inclusion of native AI tools at this price point is a noteworthy enhancement. The Edge 60 Pro features the following AI tools: Update Me: Summarises notifications Take Notes: Records, transcribes, and summarises audio Remember This: Saves screenshots, photos, and notes Recall: Reminds users of saved content Image Studio: A text-to-video generative AI tool However, some AI tools exclusive to the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus are absent in the Pro model, which was a drawback: Exclusive to the Edge 60 Stylus: Moto Note: Enables freehand writing and drawing Sketch-to-Image: Converts hand-drawn sketches into realistic images using AI Handwriting Calculator: Solves handwritten equations GIF Maker: Records screen sections and creates GIFs The absence of these tools in the Pro model may be seen as a missed opportunity. Camera In this regard, the Edge 60 Pro surpasses both the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and the Stylus. It is equipped with a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 50MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and support for up to 50x digital zoom. A 3-in-1 light sensor manages exposure, white balance, and flicker correction. The front houses a 50MP selfie camera, suitable for both photography and video calls. Motorola's collaboration with Pantone appears to have positively influenced image processing. Photographs are rendered with natural colour balance and fine detail retention, even in challenging lighting conditions or when subjects are in motion. The ultra-wide lens also delivers sharper images compared to last year's Edge 50 Pro. In well-lit environments, image clarity and detail are appreciable. However, portrait shots still suffer from occasional edge detection inaccuracies. Low-light performance has improved, with AI effectively reducing image noise. While not targeting premium camera standards, the Edge 60 Pro performs reliably within its segment. Performance and Software Performance has seen a marked improvement with the Edge 60 Pro. While the Fusion and Stylus models are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 respectively, the Edge 60 Pro utilises the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme SoC. This results in enhanced multitasking and gaming performance. The device tends to heat up during charging and extended gaming sessions at 120Hz refresh rate. Nevertheless, app switching and multitasking across applications such as Chrome, YouTube, Asphalt, Candy Crush, BGMI, Free Fire, and Gallery remain smooth and consistent. The smartphone runs on Hello UI, based on Android 15. The user interface is minimalistic and free from bloatware. Motorola has assured three years of operating system upgrades and four years of security updates. Battery and Charging The Motorola Edge 60 Pro features a significantly larger battery compared to the Fusion and Stylus variants. It is equipped with a 6,000mAh battery supporting 90W wired and 15W wireless charging. Under consistent usage, the device delivers a screen-on time of approximately seven to eight hours. With light to moderate usage, the battery is capable of lasting a full day. Charging performance was particularly impressive. When connected to a fast-charging power source, the battery charged from zero to 100 per cent in around 40 minutes. Using a standard power outlet, full charging took approximately 50 minutes. Verdict The Motorola Edge 60 Pro positions itself as a viable flagship alternative, delivering the essential features that users in this price segment expect – without incurring flagship-level costs. The construction is sturdy, featuring a curved pOLED display, IP68/IP69 ratings, and a nylon or vegan leather rear panel that enhances grip and usability. The display offers a high-resolution, smooth visual experience, supported by a 120Hz refresh rate. Performance is consistent across various tasks, while the camera configuration – comprising a 50MP Sony LYT-700C main sensor, 50MP ultra-wide lens, 10MP 3x telephoto lens, and 50MP front camera – offers versatility for most scenarios. Battery life is reliable, with rapid wired charging and wireless charging support. That said, the Edge 60 Pro balances performance, design, and functionality, making it a well-rounded daily-use smartphone in midrange segment.

Motorola Edge 60 Pro review: Fan(tastic) for the price
I remember when friends and family members used to reach out to me for help choosing a smartphone, I would tell them, 'increase your budget, and then talk to me.' Maybe I sounded a bit rude, but honestly, I barely had any recommendations for phones priced under Rs 30,000. That phase lasted a good two years. But something changed late last year — the options in the mid-range smartphone segment started to grow. Most of the queries I get for smartphone recommendations are still in the Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 range. These are people who earn well but don't want to spend Rs 50,000 or more on a smartphone. Either way, when I see a phone like the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, which I have been using for a few days, it makes me wonder if the mid-range smartphone segment is making a comeback and is here to stay unfazed by the rise of premium phones. This is probably the third or fourth Motorola smartphone I have reviewed this year, and the brand's back-to-back launches clearly show how focused it is on capturing the sub-Rs 30,000 segment in India. The Edge 60 Pro isn't a low-cost phone, nor is it exactly a premium smartphone — it falls somewhere in between. I would say the device is going after the likes of the Apple iPhone 16e, Google Pixel 9a, Samsung Galaxy A56, and the Nothing Phone (3A) Pro—but with a Motorola-esque design, a focus on AI features, and all of this at Rs 30,000. What: Motorola Edge 60 Pro| Price: Rs 29,990 onwards Curved displays on smartphones aren't a new feature, but I remember that in the mid-2010s, high-end phones typically had curved screens, which were considered a premium feature. I think the rationale behind using curved screens on a mid-range smartphone is to give consumers a sense of a premium experience — and there's nothing wrong with that. The Edge 60 Pro, as the name suggests, features a large 6.7-inch pOLED curved display. While most phones typically come with flat screens, Motorola has opted for a curved display as a differentiating feature, with the screen curving over the edges on both sides. Comparing the Edge 60 Pro side by side with my iPhone 16 Pro does feel different, even though I have used smartphones with curved displays in the past. For someone using a curved screen for the first time, the experience can either be positive or met with mixed reactions. For example, scrolling through articles and web pages on a curved screen is enjoyable, but when watching videos, some parts of the content may get lost in the curve. There can also be app optimisation issues. At times, app developers place buttons near the edges of the screen, which can make it difficult for curved displays to register touches accurately. However, to be fair, Apple's Dynamic Island also suffers from occasional app optimisation problems. Neither curved displays nor the Dynamic Island are perfect solutions, in my opinion. The 6.7-inch pOLED display is larger than the 6.3-inch screen on the Pixel 9a and the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 16e. The front is nearly all screen, with only a small hole in the center for the front-facing camera. The OLED display (2712 x 1220 pixels) is sharp and offers impressive peak brightness, making it easily legible outdoors. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, perfect for mobile games or watching action movies. It also features a fingerprint scanner under the screen. That said, display quality is generally good across most mid-range smartphones these days. Motorola also lets you set the display's edges to light up for notifications when the phone is face down — a cool touch. Lately, I have noticed a growing cohesiveness in Motorola's smartphone design. The brand has taken a different route, opting for vegan leather over the more familiar metal and glass bodies. The back of the phone is smooth to the touch, offers extra grip, and doesn't attract fingerprints. The device comes in fun colours (Motorola loaned me the review unit in a purple finish) — a reminder of the good old days when phones were joyful to look at. Adding to the Edge 60 Pro's appeal is its lightweight design; at just 186 grams, it's noticeably easier to carry than other phones of a similar size. It's interesting to see how brands are working to make smartphones slimmer and lighter while also increasing screen size. While the Dimensity 8300 Extreme chip (paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage on my unit) may not be as powerful as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite or Apple's A18 processor, it performs well in everyday use. In general, the Edge 60 Pro is fast enough that you won't be thinking about what's powering the device. Must-have apps like WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Gmail opened quickly, and I was able to run Genshin Impact without any issues. The phone does get warm when pushed — especially in Delhi summers — but honestly, most phones do. With a 6000mAh battery, the Edge 60 Pro offers a larger battery capacity than many other smartphones in this price segment. The phone can easily last two days on a single charge, and in my experience, it delivered about a day and a half of heavy use before needing to be plugged in. That means I don't have to carry a power bank when I step out and can travel worry-free from one part of the city to another without a charger. As for recharging, the Edge 60 Pro supports 90W wired and 15W wireless charging, making it significantly faster to charge than the Google Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e. The Edge 60 Pro, alongside the new Razr foldable, debuts with a dedicated AI key that launches Moto AI when pressed. Motorola has partnered with Gemini, Perplexity, Meta's Llama, and Microsoft Copilot to power Moto AI and several of its features. However, so far, the integration still feels like a work in progress. I need more time to fully evaluate how well Moto AI performs in real-world use, but I appreciate how Motorola is attempting to integrate artificial intelligence into the overall experience. The Ask and Search bar appears throughout the UI, including as a floating Moto AI icon. You can also summon Moto AI by pressing the dedicated physical button on the left side of the phone. The Edge 60 Pro is packed with AI features like Image Studio and Catch Me Up — a notification summariser similar to a feature in Apple Intelligence. That said, Moto AI can feel overwhelming at times, with so many features that it's hard to remember them all. I am not sure if this is the right approach, but it seems smartphone brands are still experimenting to see which AI features resonate with users — which is likely why modern smartphones now ship with such a wide range of AI capabilities. Beyond the AI experience, the version of Android 15 on the Edge 60 Pro is solid. There aren't many pre-installed apps, and the user interface is clean and unobtrusive. My only complaint is Motorola's limited software support: the Edge 60 Pro will receive only three years of major Android updates and four years of security updates — well below the seven years offered by Samsung, Google, and even Apple. That's a trade-off you'll have to consider if you're thinking about buying the Edge 60 Pro. I may not be a big fan of Motorola's cameras, but there has been consistent improvement in their camera systems — at least based on my experience with newer Motorola smartphones. The Edge 60 Pro features a 50-megapixel Sony LYTIA 700C sensor with OIS, a 50 megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 10 megapixel 3x telephoto lens, which now supports up to 50x digital zoom. There's also a 3-in-1 light sensor for better exposure control, white balance adjustment, and flicker reduction. On the front, there's a 50 megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. Well, the camera takes clear shots, but they often appear overprocessed — something Samsung Galaxy cameras also tend to do. However, Motorola's partnership with Pantone seems to be paying off. The colours are bright and accurate, capturing good detail and matching the vibe of the scene. You can get great shots even when the subject is moving or in tricky lighting conditions. The ultrawide camera now captures more detail compared to last year's Edge 50 Pro. I am still not a fan of how the Edge 60 Pro handles bokeh shots, though. Motorola's AI does a lot of work on low-light photos, helping to reduce image noise. Overall, if you ask me, the Edge 60 Pro isn't a bad camera phone — it's serviceable for the price range. It's nowhere close to Google's colour reproduction and low-light prowess, but Pixel smartphones are expensive. The difference between the most affordable Pixel 9a and the Edge 60 Pro is Rs 20,000. If you're looking to buy a new smartphone, the Edge 60 Pro is a solid upgrade. It's not a perfect phone, but at Rs 30,000, it's hard to argue against it. The phone features a pretty good curved OLED screen, offers generally strong performance, has excellent battery life, and runs a clean, bloatware-free user interface. The camera isn't the best I've seen, but for the price, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro could be a great option for everyone — teens, adults, and even the elderly who don't want to spend Rs 50,000 on a smartphone. Honestly, after spending several days with the Edge 60 Pro, the argument that a premium phone is always better than a mid-range smartphone is a tough pill to swallow. The Edge 60 Pro is so good at the price it's retailing for, it really makes you question whether you need a high-end smartphone at all.

Motorola Edge 60 Pro review
Motorola has updated its Edge series right on schedule and the Edge 60, Edge 60 Fusion, and Edge 60 Pro, and Edge 60 Stylus are already available for purchase. Today we are going to explore the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, which brings an updated design, chipset, cameras, and battery compared to the Edge 50 Pro. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a sleek smartphone with quad-curved panels, complete ingress protection (IP68/IP69) and MIL-STD-810H standards compliance. It is available in three cool Pantone colors, something that has become a trademark for Motorola lately. The Edge 60 Pro packs a 6.7-inch P-OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, 1220p resolution and HDR10+ support. While this new panel is advertised for the incredibly high peak brightness of 4,500 nits, it has lost the 144Hz option that was available on the Edge 50 Pro. The good news is that the Edge 60 Pro brings a powerful Dimensity 8350 Extreme chip with a faster processor, graphics and LPDDR5X RAM compared to the Edge 50 Pro. The storage is also faster - UFS 4.0 vs. UFS 2.2. The camera department has been tweaked a little, but is far from a major update. There is a 50MP OIS primary, a 10MP OIS 3x telephoto and a new 50MP ultrawide camera with autofocus. The selfie camera is still a 50MP imager. The Edge 60 Pro comes with a large Si/C 6,000mAh battery and support for 90W wired and 15W wireless charging. It boots Android 15 and integrates the full suite of Moto AI features. Motorola Edge 60 Pro specs at a glance: Body: 160.7x73.1x8.2mm, 186g; plastic frame; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), MIL-STD-810H compliant. 160.7x73.1x8.2mm, 186g; plastic frame; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), MIL-STD-810H compliant.

Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, optical); stereo speakers (with Dolby Atmos); Smart Connect support. While the Edge 60 Pro brings a lot of upgrades, its selfie camera has lost autofocus capabilities and that's a bummer. Gone is also the fast 50W wireless charging, now limited to just 15W. Unfortunately, there are a couple of downgrades also worth nothing - the screen refresh rate only goes as high as 120Hz (down from 144Hz) and the wired charging is now rated at 90W (down from 125W). Unboxing the Motorola Edge 60 Pro The Edge 60 Pro arrives in a white paper box, which is scented for a more premium unboxing experience, as is customary for higher-end Motorola products. Anyway, the retail package contains a USB-C cable, a SIM ejection pin, and one thick plastic case with a sort of matching color and shape. Page 2

iQOO Neo 10 vs Motorola Edge 60 Pro: Which smartphone to buy under Rs.35000
iQOO Neo 10 will be launched in the mid-range smartphone market on May 26. The company has already started teasing the smartphone, revealing its design, specs, features and more. Now, it was revealed that the iQOO Neo 10 will be launched under Rs.35000, competing with several models. Therefore, to know if the iQOO Neo 10 is worth the hype, we have curated a detailed comparison with the new Motorola Edge 60 Pro. The Edge 60 Pro comes with unique offerings, a powerful processor, and impressive camera features, which make it a great competitor for the upcoming iQOO Neo 10. The iQOO Neo 10 has been revealed in two colour variants: Titanium Chrome and Inferno Red. While both colours look premium, the Red variants flaunt a dual-tone finish, which may grab attention. However, we are yet to know the smartphone's build and durability features. On the other hand, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro comes with its classic vegan leather finish, giving it a simple look. However, it's quite slim and offers IP68 and IP69 protection. For display, the iQOO Neo 10 will likely feature a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution. It is also confirmed to 144FPS for gaming. Whereas, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro features a 6.7-inch curved P-OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Therefore, buyers will have to choose between a flat and a curved display. The iQOO Neo 10 features a dual camera setup that may include 50MP main camera with Sony LYT-600 sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide camera. It may also include a 16MP selfie camera. Whereas, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro features a triple camera setup which consists of a 50MP main camera, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide lens. Therefore, Motorola may offer a more pleasing experience with a competitive main camera along with the addition of a telephoto lens. The iQOO Neo 10 is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and SuperComputing Chip Q1 processors. Therefore, the smartphone will consist of dual processor capabilities paired with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. On the other hand, the Motorola Edge 60 Pro relies on the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip coupled with up to 12GB of RAM. Therefore, in terms of performance, the iQOO Neo 10 may have the upper hand with the new-generation powerful chip. For lasting performance, the iQOO Neo 10 is expected to be backed by a 7000mAh battery that could come with 120W fast charging support. Whereas the Edge 60 Pro is backed by a 6000mAh battery that supports 90W Turbo fast charging.

Motorola Edge 60 Review: One of the best cameras for this price
The Motorola Edge 60 is Motorola's newest mid-range handset, which punches over its weight a little in some regards. It borrows heavily from the Edge 60 Pro, including the same 6.7-inch OLED curved-edge display, the same camera hardware, and fast 68W wired charging. This year, Motorola also introduces an upgraded 50 MP ultra-wide camera and a sharper 50 MP selfie shooter, both notable improvements over last year's terms of design, the Edge 60 keeps Motorola's signature sleek look with a slim vegan leather body but with improved durability. It's not all good, though, as it no longer supports wireless charging and does not include a charger. Pricing and color availability vary by region. In the U.K., you can get a 12/512 GB version of the Edge 60 for £379.99, which is slightly more expensive compared to the competition from Samsung and Nothing. So, should you consider Motorola's Edge 60 , or should you skip it and look towards the Pro model or one of the alternatives? Table of Contents: Let's start with an overview of the Motorola Edge 60 specs: The green option we had at the office is a bit... too green. | Image by PhoneArena The Edge 60 has that classic Motorola look that we have been enjoying for the last few years. That means a slim body with a vegan leather back panel that makes the phone less prone to slipping and fingerprints. It is a rather light handset at 179 g, measuring 161.2 x 73.1 x 7.9 mm. Unlike the Edge 60 Pro, though, there is no AI-dedicated button on the left side. That's a loss, since that button is not customizable on the Pro model anyways. Motorola has also thrown in an IP69 certification this year, which means the Edge 60 should be able to withstand high pressure water jets. That's on top of the IP68 certification that means the device has been tested at 1.5m of fresh water for 30 minutes. The green and blue variants of the Edge 60. | Image credits – Motorola The Motorola Edge 60 comes in three hues: Pantone Gibraltar sea, Shamrock, Plum perfect. That said, It really depends on the location you are buying it from. Motorola's online store for the U.K. shows the Pantone Gibraltar sea and Pantone Shamrock, for example, but not the Plum perfect. To make things even more confusing, if you look at the top of the Edge 60 page on that same webpage, you only get the Pantone Gibraltar as an option. Would have been nice to get a charger in the box. | Image by PhoneArena Apparently even budget phones no longer get a charger in the box nowadays. This is especially frustrating in Motorola's case, as the fast charging speeds its phones come with require the company's own chargers and rarely work with third-party ones. At the very least you get a color-matching case in the box, among the other usual contents such as a USB-C cable and documentation. A brighter display with some downgrades. | Image by PhoneArena You get practically the same curved-edge display that also comes with the pricier Motorola Edge 60 Pro. That means a 6.7-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 1220 x 2712 pixels, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, same brightness, and even the Gorilla Glass 7i that should be decently durable. Numbers and specs aside, it is a gorgeous screen, and I enjoyed every bit of it, but with one major caveat — the curved edges. I used to enjoy this design, but nowadays I prefer the flat screen because it avoids reflections that can sometimes come in the way of content you are enjoying. These reflections are especially annoying when you are playing games. Besides the light reflections, though, the display is amazing and it gets plenty bright and visible for most scenarios. The Edge 60 has better peak brightness than its predecessor, but its minimum brightness is actually quite worse. The color accuracy has also dropped significantly in comparison. In terms of biometrics, the fingerprint reader on the Edge 60 feels slow. If the phone is locked (screen turned off), it takes a good second to unlock, which can be frustrating. Unfortunately, the face-unlock route takes the same time, so you kind of have to get used to this setback. The good news is that if the screen is not turned off, the fingerprint reader's speed is fast enough. A camera that punches above its weight. | Image by PhoneArena The Edge 60 's camera system performed surprisingly well during our photo score. The same cannot be said for video, however, especially regarding the telephoto and ultra-wide cameras. Interestingly, Motorola seems to have used the exact same camera hardware on the cheaper Edge 60 that the Edge 60 Pro has, which means you are getting a better camera system then most phones at this price range. In short, you have a 50 MP main (wide), a 50 MP ultra-wide, and a 10 MP 3x telephoto camera. The difference from last year's model is the ultra-wide, which used to be 13 MP. The selfie camera has also been upgraded from a 32 MP one with an aperture of f/2.4 to a 50 MP snapper with an f/2.0 aperture. This new front camera is sharper and does better in low light. Frankly, for a phone of this caliber, the photos look great! The detail is good, especially with the main and telephoto cameras. That said, the colors seem to be incosistent between the different cameras, and sometimes even between shots with the same camera. Keep in mind that video recording is limited to 4K 30fps. Much like the Edge 60 Pro, the image during video recording looks sharp, even when using the rather low-resolution telephoto camera, but stabilization is poor. Something that's different with the Edge 60 is that it cannot expose the scene very well when there is a high-contrast scenario, which in this case has led to very dark shadows. Only decent performance. | Image by PhoneArena Motorola has changed the processor from the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 AE that powered last year's model to the Mediatek Dimensity 7300. Unfortunately, the two chips are rather similar to each other as far as performance goes. The new chip mostly plays a big role when it comes to power efficiency, as you will see in the battery section later on. In the U.K. and other parts of Europe you get a 12 GB RAM model, which is pretty neat at this price point. You don't feel a lack of power when using the Edge 60 for regular tasks, including when using the camera app. However, it does slow down when you try to edit video and photo content in specialized apps like those from Adobe or Capcut. CPU performance is practically the same as last generation. GPU Performance Just like with the CPU performance, there is hardly any improvement with the GPU. Storage-wise, the only version that is available in Motorola's U.K. website has 512 GB — more than enough for most people. That said, unlike the Pro, you do have the option to expand that storage via a microSD card. Motorola Edge 60 Software The Motorola Edge 60 runs on Android 15 and features Motorola's custom Hello UI, which offers a near-stock Android experience with additional enhancements, including AI-driven features like Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, and Smart Connect. As for software support, Motorola should provide three major Android OS updates and four years of security patches for the Edge 60 , although there might be some delays. While it is nowhere near the Pro model, the Motorola Edge 60 still showed great battery life, with an estimated 7 hours and 12 minutes in our Battery Score. That's still quite a bit better than one of its main competitors — the Galaxy A36 5G. Test results aside, the Edge 60 would last me for almost two days before I had to plug it in and recharge. The phone comes with 68W wired charging, which was enough to juice up the new 5,200 mAh battery in 47 minutes. In 30 minutes, it was enough to charge the Edge 60 to 75%. That's fast enough in my book. Good wired charging but no wireless at all. | Image by PhoneArena Unlike the more expensive Motorola Edge 60 Pro, the non-Pro variant does not support wireless charging. The budget status of the Motorola Edge 60 is definitely felt when it comes to its dual speakers. The audio feels flat and the maximum volume is not that high either. The audio is good enough to enjoy content with speech, but I wouldn't buy this phone if I wanted to watch movies or listen to music without headphones. Speaking of headphones, you don't get a 3.5mm audio jack so you will have to use Bluetooth ones. Haptics on the Edge 60 are also nothing to write home about. They are somewhat mushy and unpleasant, so Turned them off immediately. It's a good mid-range phone that's worth considering. | Image by PhoneArena The Motorola Edge 60 delivers standout value in the mid-range segment, especially for users who prioritize camera hardware, display quality, and battery life. With the same camera setup as its more expensive Pro sibling, a beautiful 6.7-inch OLED screen, and strong battery endurance, it's one of the most photography-friendly and premium-feeling phones in its it's not without flaws. Video performance is underwhelming, the fingerprint sensor is slow, and audio quality is basic at best. Also, while the design is sleek, the curved screen might not be for everyone. If these trade-offs don't bother you, the Edge 60 is easy to recommend. Still, it's worth considering the competition. The Samsung Galaxy A36 offers longer software support and a slightly brighter display, but it falls behind in camera and video quality, and its performance feels more sluggish overall. Meanwhile, the Nothing Phone (3a) brings a unique transparent design, solid battery life, and an intuitive software experience, but its camera system is less consistent and its performance barely improves over the previous model.
