Introduction
The Motorola Edge 60 might just be the most balanced phone of the new series with a well-rounded specs sheet and attractive pricing. It offers a standout design, superb display, versatile camera kit, large battery and the most recent Android OS with a ton of AI smarts.
Alright, then what’s so different from the Edge 60 Pro, you might ask? It’s the performance. While the Pro model offers gaming-friendly chip – Dimensity 8350 Extreme, the Edge 60 is powered by the midrange Dimensity 7300. The battery department is different, too, with a bit smaller battery and “slower” 68W charging.
But let’s start from the beginning. The Motorola Edge 60 is a great-looking smartphone – it comes with a quad-curved screen design, Pantone colors and a choice of different finishes for the back panel. It is IP68/IP69-rated with military-grade durability in extreme environments.
It packs a 6.67-inch P-OLED screen with 1,220p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1B colors, and HDR10+ support. The Edge 60 is based on the Dimensity 7300 chip with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. And there is a microSD expansion, something we do not see often these days.
The Edge 60 has a similar camera setup to the Edge 60 Pro, Edge 50 Pro, and even Edge 50 – a 50MP OIS primary, a 10MP 3x OIS telephoto and a 50MP ultrawide camera with autofocus (up from 13MP on the Edge 50). The front camera is also a 50MP imager.
The Motorola Edge 60 has a 5,200mAh battery with 68W TurboCharge support. There is no wireless charging on this model, unlike on the Edge 50 and Edge 60 Pro.
The phone boots Android 15 with Hello UI and Moto AI.

The Edge 60 upgrades on the Edge 50 with better water protection, now covering the IP69 rating, there are better ultrawide and selfie camera, a larger battery, a microSD slot and faster onboard storage. But, the wireless charging is gone, and the chipset does not seem like an improvement either.
Unboxing the Motorola Edge 60
The Motorola Edge 60 ships in a white paper box, a departure from the beige boxes of the previous models. It is a scented one as usual for the series.
Inside, you will find a USB-C cable, a SIM ejection pin, and a curved plastic case with a matching color and design.
