Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Review: Smart, Stylish & Surprisingly Capable Midranger

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion comes exactly a year after the Edge 50 Fusion, building on its predecessor with some notable improvements in durability, display, and smart features—without increasing the price. Starting at €329, the Edge 60 Fusion aims to be a midrange king in 2025.

Let’s break down everything you need to know in this detailed review.


Design and Durability: Tough Yet Elegant

The Edge 60 Fusion retains the vegan leather back and minimalist camera island but adds serious durability enhancements:

  • IP69/IP68 water and dust resistance
  • MIL-STD-810H certification
  • Gorilla Glass 7i front

Despite its 6.67-inch display, the phone feels compact and comfortable, thanks to curved edges and a lightweight frame (178g). The color options—Slipstream, Amazonite, and Zephyr—are developed in partnership with Pantone.


Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Display: Bright, Colorful & Crisp

The handset features a 6.67-inch P-OLED panel with:

  • 1220 x 2712 resolution
  • 1500 nits (HBM), 4500 nits peak brightness
  • HDR10+ and 10-bit color depth
  • 120Hz refresh rate

The panel is among the brightest and most vibrant in its class, performing well even in direct sunlight. It’s a huge step up from last year’s 1080p screen and makes streaming and gaming a delight.


Performance & Chipset: Enough for Most, But Not a Leader

The global model of the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 (4nm), while the Indian version gets the slightly stronger Dimensity 7400.

Paired with either:

  • 8GB RAM + 256GB Storage or
  • 12GB RAM + 512GB Storage

Both variants use UFS 2.2 and now come with a microSD card slot.

In benchmark tests:

  • AnTuTu Score: 656,811
  • GeekBench Multi-core: 3,047

Performance is sufficient for daily use and casual gaming, but it lags behind competitors like the Poco X7 Pro and Infinix Note 50 Pro+.


Battery & Charging: Dependable With a Speedy Recharge

The Edge 60 Fusion has:

  • 5200mAh battery (global) / 5500mAh (India)
  • 68W wired charging
  • 0–100% in just 44 minutes

Battery life is 13 hours 30 minutes on active use, beating or matching most rivals. The software also allows charge limit settings for battery longevity.


Camera System: Good All-Round, Some Room for Growth

Rear Cameras:

  • 50MP Sony Lytia 700C (main)
  • 13MP ultrawide with autofocus for macro shots

Front Camera:

  • 32MP selfie shooter

Photo quality in daylight is vibrant and sharp, with great colors and contrast. However:

  • 50MP mode appears upscaled
  • 2x zoom is soft with artifacts
  • Camera app lags occasionally
  • Low-light photos and videos are usable but not flagship-grade
  • Ultrawide performs well in daylight, less so at night

Despite these minor flaws, the Edge 60 Fusion still delivers reliable photography for its price point.


Speakers & Audio: A New Midrange Champion

The stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos tuning deliver:

  • Excellent loudness (-22.6 LUFS)
  • Warm bass and clear treble

It’s one of the best-sounding phones in its price range.


Software: Android 15 With Smart AI Upgrades

Runs on Android 15 with Hello UI, featuring:

  • 3 major OS upgrades + 4 years security updates
  • Moto AI assistant with on-device features like:
    • Summarizing notifications
    • Voice-controlled actions
    • On-screen content capture

Other highlights:

  • Smart Connect: Wireless desktop mode for PC integration
  • Back Tap Gesture: Quick shortcuts
  • Smart Tabs: News and Journal widgets

The UI is clean, fast, and intelligently designed, delivering a premium experience in a midrange package.
