I’ve been living with the Edge 60 Pro as my daily driver for more than a few weeks now, and it’s given me plenty of time to dig into the real-world strengths and compromises. In a market where “mid-range” means so many things, this phone attempts to deliver “flagship feel without flagship cost”. Does it succeed? Let’s find out.

What’s In The Box.
In the box is the phone itself a usb type c to see charging/ data cable, usual documentation, SIM ejection tool, and a snap on rear case, but no charging brick.
Design And Frist Impressions.
Right out of the box, the Edge 60 Pro strikes a commendable balance of style and comfort. The 6.7-inch display with curved edges gives it that sleek “premium phone” look, and if you go for one of the vegan-leather textured back finishes it feels better than many plastics at this price point. The weight is light enough to keep it comfortable for one-hand use, and I seldom found it awkward in a jacket pocket.
One thing that did strike me was just how thin this device feels in the hand, ( and this isn’t the thinnest device in Motorola’s line up. ) here it is compared to the iPhone Air.
That said — and you’ll have guessed this already — there are trade-offs. The frame is plastic rather than metal or aluminium, so while it looks good at a glance, in hand it doesn’t feel quite as solid as higher-end phones.
The back of the phone again is plastic, with a nice and grippy textured finish, with the Motorola logo embossed in the middle of the device.
On the left side of the device is the Moto AI
What the Moto AI button can do
- Summarize information: It can summarize meetings you’ve recorded, transcripts of conversations, or articles you provide a link for.
- Organize and retrieve information: It acts as a scrapbook for saved items like screenshots, notes, and photos, allowing you to ask for them later (e.g., “Remember This” and “Catch Me Up”).
- Context-aware assistance: It can provide context-aware queries based on what is on your screen, with the help of Perplexity AI.
- Creative tasks: It can generate images, avatars, and stickers based on your prompts.
- Camera assistance: It can learn your preferred photo tones with the “Signature Style” feature or combine multiple photos to create a better “Group Shot”.
- Playlist creation: It can generate music playlists for specific occasions, currently supporting Amazon Music.
On the right side is the volume rocker and power switch, on the bottom is the USB charging port, SIM tray and speaker, and on the top is another speaker and micro phone port, and a very stuble Dolby Atoms logo
The curved display edges may add to the aesthetic, but they carry a slight usability quirk: I noticed a small number of accidental touches when reaching the edge, and the way light reflects off them is a little more pronounced in bright settings.
The display is one of those areas where the Edge 60 Pro truly shines. The pOLED panel is bright, smooth (120 Hz refresh rate) and handles everyday tasks — streaming, browsing, gaming — with aplomb. In my bright-sunlight tests the screen remained legible and colours held up well, which is something many phones still struggle with.
Scrolling through apps, flipping between tabs, even using split-screen — all felt fluid. The high refresh rate really adds to that “everything just works” impression.
Now, heed this: the curved edges. They look slick, but in extremely bright light I noticed a slight shimmering/reflective effect at the outermost edge of the screen. It never hampered use in normal indoor lighting, but it’s worth being aware of if you use your phone outdoors a lot or work in bright lighting.
In other words: the display is a massive plus, and the curves are more a matter of taste than a definite “problem” — but if you prefer flat-edged screens for comfort or case compatibility, you may want to try one in hand first.
Performance & Software.
Under the hood the Edge 60 Pro is equipped with a competent chipset (in many markets the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme) paired with ample RAM and modern storage. In typical daily use — messaging, web browsing, streaming, multitasking — everything felt snappy and reliable. I never thought “this device is lagging”.
In the gaming arena, it performed well for casual and moderate titles. I did push it for extended high-graphics gaming — and yes, it did warm up and show signs of thermal management kicking in. So if you’re a heavy gamer looking for sustained maximum frame rates over very long sessions, this might not rival a flagship gaming phone. But for most people it’s more than capable.
The software experience (Hello UI on Android 15) is generally clean and user-friendly. I appreciated a lighter touch compared to some heavier OEM skins. There were a couple of times when I noticed minor hiccups — e.g., switching apps felt ever-so-slightly less instantaneous than on my previous flagship device — but nothing that interfered with daily use. This was updated to Android 16 during my review peroid.
There is some doubling up of apps Motorola’s version of app and bit of bloatware, but these can be easily either disabled or uninstalled.
In short: performance is very good for the price. If you demand absolute extreme sustained performance you may find a small gap, but for everything else the experience is excellent.
Battery Life & Charging
This is one of the headline strengths of the Edge 60 Pro. With a large battery complemented by efficient hardware, in my usage I found I could easily get through a full day with plenty in reserve — and on lighter days, I’d hit into day-and-a-half territory without batting an eye.
Charging is also strong: wired fast-charge (in the ~90 W class) means you’re not waiting around for hours. In one real-life test I went from ~5% to ~50% in about 15-20 minutes with the included charger, which is really impressive for this tier. Wireless charging is present (though slower) and reverse wireless charging is a nice bonus even if the speeds aren’t class-beating. I would have liked to have seen a fast charger in the box to take full advantage of these excellent charging statistics.
Of course, charging fast means some increase in device temperature. I monitored it — it warmed, but never to a point where I felt uncomfortable or worried. All in all: excellent battery performance for daily use. If you’re someone who dreaded mid-afternoon red battery warnings, you’ll love the Edge 60 Pro here.
Cameras – What They’re Good At, and What to Know
The camera setup is solid. The main 50 MP sensor with OIS handled daylight shots very cleanly: good detail, reasonable colours, wide-angle shots held up well. On social media, for holiday snaps or everyday use, you’ll be more than happy with what this delivers.
Where the trade-offs appear is in tougher lighting or heavy zoom. Low-light shots showed more noise than ultra-premium flagships, and while the 10 MP telephoto with 3× optical zoom is useful, once you push past that (digital zoom) the quality drops off quickly. I also noticed indoors that sometimes colours felt a little muted or the processing a little over-aggressive.
The front camera (50 MP) is competent for selfies and video calls — nothing revolutionary, but it gets the job done.
If you’re all about the absolute best camera system (top-tier zoom, ultra-low light, professional features) then you’ll find better elsewhere — but if you just want a very good camera for everyday use that won’t hold you back, this is right up there for the mid-tier.
All the pictures were taken on the point and shoot setting as I feel this the way the majority of people use there phone’s camera.
Connectivity & Extras
There are several extras that make the Edge 60 Pro feel more premium than its price tag might suggest. Water and dust resistance (to a high standard) help it feel more robust. You get stereo speakers, a reliable in-display fingerprint sensor, and updates promised (3 years OS / 4 years security) which is a reassuring commitment.
There are some compromises: the USB-C port is in some markets limited to USB 2.0 speeds (so large file transfers won’t be blazing fast). Wireless charging, while present, isn’t super-fast compared to some flagship rivals. But these are reasonable trade-offs in this price bracket.
Where It Falls Short
No phone is perfect. The Edge 60 Pro’s compromises are entirely understandable given the price, but worth being aware of:
The plastic frame and curved edges: good looking, but less premium feel and potential slight ergonomics quirks.
Under heavy gaming stress: thermal and performance limits show up.
Camera system: excellent for most uses, but not quite flagship-class in all lighting conditions or zoom scenarios.
Transfer speeds: USB 2.0 in some regions may matter to people who move large files often.
Wireless charging and reverse charging are fine, but not class-leading.
Conclusion & Who Should Buy It
So—where do we land? For someone looking for very good value, with strong battery life, excellent everyday performance, solid display, and an all-round capable camera and feature set — the Edge 60 Pro is a standout choice. It strikes a level where you feel you’re getting a lot of “premium” without fully paying flagship-prices.
If you’re a power user who demands the absolute best camera system, gaming performance or build materials, then it may not check every box. But for the majority of users — folks who want a “great phone” that works seamlessly day in, day out — this hits the sweet spot.
Verdict:
If you want real-world greatness without breaking the bank, this is a very smart buy. If you want ultra-top-tier in every respect, you’ll spend more.
