When it comes to mid-range smartphones, even small refinements can lead to noticeable gains—and that’s exactly what Motorola delivers with the Edge 60 Fusion.
At a glance, it may look like a rerun of the Edge 50 Fusion, but take a closer look and you’ll see Motorola has smoothed out several of the rough edges that held its predecessor back.
With a starting price of ₹22,999, this phone manages to strike a solid balance between aesthetics, performance, and value.

Design
The design language hasn’t changed drastically, but the updates are smart. It’s still slim and lightweight at 180 grams, and it feels great in hand. This time, Motorola’s gone with a vegan leather back that not only looks sleek but also adds grip.
The upgraded IP69 rating is a standout—it can now withstand water jets and even hot steam, which is uncommon at this price. Just keep in mind: water damage still isn’t covered under warranty.
The frame is made from polycarbonate, keeping the phone sturdy yet light. On the front, there’s a subtly curved Gorilla Glass Victus 7i display that gives it a more premium edge. The camera bump now houses a third sensor, improving photo quality and low-light performance—without making the phone any bulkier.
Display
Up front is a 6.67-inch pOLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution. It’s bright—very bright—peaking at 4,500 nits, which means outdoor visibility is no issue. In Natural mode, colors look accurate, and HDR videos on YouTube pop nicely (though Netflix and Prime Video still don’t support HDR on this device).
By default, the refresh rate tops out at 90Hz in Auto mode, but you can manually set it to 120Hz. However, it doesn’t hit 120Hz consistently during gaming or video playback, which might disappoint gamers a bit. Still, the 300Hz touch sampling rate keeps things fluid during fast-paced use.
Software
Out of the box, it runs Android 15 layered with Motorola’s Hello UI. The experience is close to stock Android, though a bit of bloatware is creeping in—some Moto-branded apps and a few pre-installed games, all of which can be uninstalled.
Moto AI features like voice-note screenshots and notification summaries are handy, but they’re still a work in progress compared to what rivals like Nothing offer. On the plus side, Motorola promises three years of OS updates and four years of security patches—a reassuring commitment.
Performance
This phone knows its lane and sticks to it. Under the hood is a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip, paired with up to 12GB of RAM. The result? Smooth day-to-day performance, easy multitasking, and stable gameplay.
| Metric | Edge 60 Fusion | Phone 3a | Poco F6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AnTuTu v10 | 6,49,652 | 8,04,179 | 14,57,491 |
| Geekbench 6 Single | 1,087 | 1,158 | 1,835 |
| Geekbench 6 Multi | 3,049 | 3,255 | 4,693 |
| 3DM Wild Life | 3,630 | 3,988 | Maxed Out |
Despite average benchmark numbers, real-world use feels quick and responsive. Games like Call of Duty and Asphalt 9 run smoothly, even if not at ultra settings. The phone does heat up with heavy camera use, likely due to the lack of active cooling.
Cameras
Motorola’s stuck with the same 50MP Sony sensor from last year but added a third sensor to enhance imaging. The photos are noticeably sharper now, with better color accuracy and improved low-light shots.
The ultrawide lens is more consistent than before, though still not flawless. Video capture at 4K 30fps is particularly impressive—stable, detailed, and clear. But performance dips in mixed lighting or when shooting fast-moving scenes in the dark.
Battery
There’s a noticeable jump here—the battery is now 5,500mAh. In testing, it clocked over 22 hours of video playback and easily made it through a full day with regular use. The bundled 68W charger fills it from 0 to 100% in about 53 minutes.
Light to moderate users can expect up to a day and a half between charges. Even power users shouldn’t need to top up before evening.
Motorola shows once again that you don’t need a total redesign to make meaningful improvements. The Edge 60 Fusion addresses last year’s weak spots with smart, thoughtful upgrades.
For under ₹25,000, it’s a standout pick if you want a stylish, dependable phone that performs well, takes solid photos, and lasts all day. It’s not flawless—but for what it offers, it doesn’t have to be.
