Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: A Stylish Powerhouse with Some Unexpected Trade Offs

Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review


If there’s one thing Motorola knows how to do, it’s to quietly build feature packed smartphones that don’t scream for attention yet still manage to turn heads. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is exactly that, sleek, powerful, and confident in its own skin. But while it nails a lot of things right out of the box, it’s not without its quirks.

Here’s our honest, experience based review after a few days of testing the Edge 60 Pro as a daily driver.

First Impressions: A Phone That Looks as Good as It Feels

From the moment you unbox the Edge 60 Pro, it's clear Motorola went the extra mile on design. Whether you choose the sophisticated Shadow, the bold Dazzling Blue, or the quirky Sparkling Grape, this phone just feels premium without being over the top.

At just 186 grams and 8.2mm thin, it’s easy to hold and slips comfortably into any pocket. What stands out most is the eco leather or matte rubber back, which resists fingerprints like a pro and feels secure in the hand.

Oh, and let’s not forget its IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance, plus MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability rare features at this price point.

Display: A Bright and Beautiful View With a Few Curves

The 6.7 inch quad curved P-OLED screen is a visual treat. It’s crisp (1220 × 2712 resolution), super fluid with its 120Hz refresh rate, and bright enough to be seen under direct sunlight thanks to an impressive peak brightness of 4.500 nits.

Watching HDR videos or scrolling through your favorite apps feels smooth and immersive. But here’s the catch those curved edges, while sleek, can be a double edged sword. Accidental touches do happen, especially while gaming or texting quickly.

Still, for most people, the display is a win unless you absolutely hate curved screens.

Performance: MediaTek Delivers the Power Punch

Under the hood, the Edge 60 Pro packs the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme, built on a 4nm process. Paired with 8GB or 12GB RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, it runs like a dream.

Apps launch in a snap, multitasking is fluid, and even games like Genshin Impact run well on medium settings. It’s not the ultimate gaming phone, but for everyday users, it absolutely gets the job done.

It runs Android 15 out of the box with Motorola’s clean Hello UI skin. You get 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches, which is decent but not as generous as some Samsung or Google phones in the same tier.


Battery Life: Big Capacity, Balanced Charging

Here’s where Motorola made a smart move. The Edge 60 Pro houses a massive 6.000mAh silicon carbon battery the kind of capacity usually reserved for gaming phones.

It easily lasts a full day and change with regular use, and even power users will struggle to drain it before bedtime.

The 90W fast charging is solid just not the fastest anymore. You’ll go from 0 to 100% in about 53 minutes. It also supports 15W wireless and 5W reverse charging, giving you flexibility.

That said, its predecessor, the Edge 50 Pro, had 125W wired and 50W wireless charging so if speed is your game, you might feel a step back here.


Camera System: Versatile, But Not Flawless

Let’s talk photography. The Edge 60 Pro is armed with:
  • 50MP main camera (Sony LYTIA 700C, OIS)
  • 50MP ultra wide lens
  • 10MP telephoto with 3× optical zoom
  • 50MP front camera for selfies
In daylight, the main shooter captures crisp, vibrant images with good contrast. The ultra wide lens holds up well too, though it does lose some detail in low light scenes. Night mode is fine but not class leading.

The telephoto lens works well in bright conditions but can be inconsistent in shadows or indoors. As for the selfie cam, it’s great for social media, but there’s no autofocus, which can occasionally lead to soft results.

If you're a casual photographer, you'll find the camera more than capable. But if low light photography is your thing, you may want to look elsewhere.


Verdict: Who Is the Motorola Edge 60 Pro For?

The Edge 60 Pro is a fantastic choice for users who want:
  • A premium look without a premium price
  • A bright, highres screen
  • Long battery life with dependable charging
  • Solid performance for work and play
  • A clean Android experience without bloat

But if you're someone who:
  • Prioritizes ultra fast charging
  • Needs top tier camera performance in low light
  • Prefers flat displays over curved ones

...then you might want to keep exploring other options in the $400–$600 range.

Final Thoughts
