Motorola Edge 60 Pro review

Introduction

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.

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.
