Motorola Edge 60 Fusion long-term review: A stylish, compact powerhouse
NEW DELHI: The 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.

Motorola Edge 60 Stylus Review: A smartphone that's different, practical and stylish
The Motorola season is here, and this time around, the company has added a bit of 'stylus' to it. Following the launch of the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, the company has launched the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus. As the name suggests, the phone comes with a 'Stylus' which is something not seen in the phones priced under the 25K segment. Starting at ₹22,999, the new Motorola Edge 60 Stylus looks promising. So, let's find out what else the phone has to offer to users. Design The new Motorola Edge 60 Stylus follows the same design language as the Edge 50 series and the recently launched Moto Edge 60 Fusion. However, unlike the curved design of the Fusion, the 60 Stylus opts for a straighter, flatter look with a few noticeable bezels around the screen. Despite the small frames, the phone feels premium in hand, aided by the vegan leather back that we have been seeing lately in the Edge series. The signature camera frame remains, giving it a familiar yet sophisticated appearance. One detail that will make many users happy is the return of the 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom. As for the rest of the build, Motorola has ensured robust protection with IP68 water resistance and Military Grade Protection Certification (MIL-STD-810H). The power button and volume rockers are neatly placed on the right side, while the SIM tray sits on the left. The bottom houses the USB Type-C port, speaker grille, and the slot for the stylus, offering a well-organised layout. Interestingly, Motorola has stopped providing a protective cover in the box with the Edge 60 series, a surprising move considering it was a staple accessory in previous models. While it might not be a deal-breaker, it's something potential buyers should note when unboxing the device. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) Stylus The stylus deserves a special segment because it truly elevates the experience. It's more than just a scribbling tool — Motorola has smartly packed in functionality that allows creativity to flourish. With the AI-powered Sketch to Image feature, users can transform basic doodles into stunning visuals effortlessly, making professional-quality content accessible even to beginners. The stylus offers smooth, agile expression for note-taking, doodling, or even passing the time creatively. Everything you create stays neatly organized, thanks to Moto Note. Writing is intuitive too — from using the handwriting calculator for quick math to jotting down notes seamlessly. The 'Circle to Search' feature by Google adds another layer of productivity; just circle or highlight anything on your screen to instantly search without having to switch apps. For a phone in this price bracket, these stylus features feel premium and genuinely useful. Display Coming to the display, Motorola has equipped the Edge 60 Stylus with a 6.67-inch 1.5K pOLED 2.5D screen that's a treat to look at. It boasts a resolution of 2712 x 1220 pixels, 446 ppi density, and a highly responsive 120 Hz refresh rate. The High Brightness Mode offers up to 1400 nits brightness, while HDR peak brightness pushes up to an impressive 3,000 nits. What this translates to for users is a fluid, vibrant visual experience packed with vivid colours (thanks to the 10-bit colour depth and over a billion shades) and smooth scrolling. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection with Aqua Touch ensures durability even during accidental water exposure. Whether you're outdoors under harsh sunlight or indoors, the display consistently delivers top-notch visuals. OS and AI The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus comes with Android 15 out of the box, offering a clean, bloat-free experience that Motorola fans will love. The company promises two years of OS upgrades and three years of security patches, ensuring that your device stays updated and secure for a good span of time. Motorola has also infused AI features across the OS. From Moto AI processing enhancing photography to intelligent system management that optimizes battery life and performance, the AI integrations are subtle but meaningful. Features like Google Auto Enhance for photos and AI-driven performance tweaks make the device smarter in daily use without being intrusive. Performance Powering the Edge 60 Stylus is the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, paired with 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of UFS2.2 storage (expandable up to 1cTB). During the review period, daily tasks — from multitasking between apps to streaming and browsing — felt buttery smooth, aided by the RAM Boost feature. Gaming enthusiasts will also find the experience pleasing. Heavy titles like Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact ran smoothly, thanks to the Adreno 710 GPU, though it's worth mentioning that the GPU score (2090) is slightly lower than what we saw on the Edge 60 Fusion. Nevertheless, for its price range, the Edge 60 Stylus offers ample power to make the phone run seamlessly even with demanding tasks. Benchmark scores further reflect the device's capabilities: it clocked a Geekbench single-core score of 1003 and a multi-core score of 2902, close to what the Edge 60 Fusion delivered. These scores reinforce that the phone is not just about stylus gimmicks — it's a solid performer underneath. Camera The Edge 60 Stylus features a capable 50 MP main camera with Sony's LYTIA 700C sensor, offering f/1.8 aperture, Quad PDAF, and OIS for stability. Accompanying it is a 13 MP ultra-wide lens with macro capabilities. The front houses a sharp 32 MP selfie shooter. In daylight, the main sensor captures rich, detailed shots with good dynamic range and natural colours. The ultra-wide lens also delivers impressive results, though like most phones, the edges can sometimes get a bit soft. Portrait shots deserve a special mention — the separation and bokeh effects are handled very well, making portraits look professional and social-media ready. Low-light photography is good too. Thanks to a dedicated Night Mode, images retained good colour accuracy and minimal noise. Night shots were well-lit without looking overly processed. Selfies from the 32 MP front camera come out crisp and vibrant, ideal for video calls and social media. Even in low-light conditions, the Quad Pixel technology helps deliver solid results. Overall, whether you're a casual shooter or someone who loves mobile photography, the Edge 60 Stylus won't disappoint. Battery The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus packs a 5,000 mAh battery, more than enough to get through a full day of heavy use with ease. Even with gaming, video streaming, and camera usage, the phone consistently lasted a day without gasping for charge. When it comes to charging, Motorola provides 68 W TurboPower fast charging support, juicing up the battery within 1:10-1:20 minutes. There's also 15 W wireless charging support (though the wireless charger is not included in the box). Verdict Motorola has truly pulled something out of the box with the Edge 60 Stylus. During my review period, whoever saw the stylus feature couldn't help but draw comparisons to Samsung's Note series — high praise for a mid-range device. The addition of the stylus, combined with Motorola's clean software and practical features, makes it stand out in a crowded segment. Overall, the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus nails it with an impressive design, a high-quality display, strong performance, and versatile camera — all wrapped around a feature that genuinely adds value. If you're looking for a smartphone that's different, practical, and stylish, the Edge 60 Stylus deserves serious consideration.
