Conclusion on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro
Motorola gets a lot of things right with the Edge 60 Pro. Thanks to the good triple camera with optical zoom, the high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 8350, the very bright display and long battery life, it can easily hold its own against the mid-range competition. There are also advantages such as fast WiFi 6E, plenty of storage space and lots of Bluetooth codecs. The complete package is also available at a fair price.
One criticism of the Edge 60 Pro is the update supply, which will be discontinued in 2029. If you really push the Motorola phone, it can also get uncomfortably warm. This does not happen with the cheaper Edge 60 sister model. Thanks to its very similar camera and memory features, it is also a real alternative to the Edge 60 Pro despite its slightly slower SoC and shorter battery life.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The Edge 60 Pro costs in the Motorola webshop 600 Euros (~$706). You can pay significantly less at other online retailers and get the smartphone for well under 550 Euros (~$648), for example at Amazon.

The Edge 60 Pro is at the top of Motorola's Edge series and does a lot better than its predecessor. With the Edge 50 Pro the periscope zoom was removed, but it is back in the test candidate. The Edge 60 Pro also costs significantly less despite having better hardware. We find out how well the mid-range smartphone fares against the competition in our test.
Specifications
Case - Edge 60 Pro with AI button and Pantone colors
Thanks to its rubberized back cover, the Edge 60 Pro, which weighs 186 grams (~6.6 oz) and has a high-quality finish, is very comfortable to hold. Its IP69 certification also makes the curved smartphone waterproof and dustproof. The AI button on the long left side launches Motorola's in-house Moto AI.
In the blue color variant Dazzling Blue, the back cover imitates a nylon texture, while our test device (Sparkling Grape), which is a vibrant purple, and the third, more subtle color variant Shadow each have a faux leather finish.
Features - Lots of memory for the Motorola cell phone
With 12 GB RAM and 512 GB mass storage, the Edge 60 Pro has a good memory configuration and officially costs 600 Euros (~$706). Unlike the Edge 60 the internal memory cannot be expanded using a microSD card.
Software - Android 15 with Moto AI and updates until 2029
The Edge 60 Pro starts with Android 15, which Motorola has left virtually untouched apart from a handful of its own apps. The smartphone receives 3 OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates. However, compared to the support offered by competitors such as Google and Samsung (6 and 7 years respectively), this is not all that long.
Motorola's in-house AI Moto AI summarizes messages, transcribes audio recordings and saves notes along with screenshots and photos. Google Gemini and Google Circle to Search are also included. A Motorola account is required to use Moto AI.
Sustainability
Motorola has opted for plastic-free packaging for the Edge 60 Pro, which is printed with soy ink and made from recycled materials in accordance with FSC Mix certification.
Motorola provides comprehensive information about its sustainability efforts on its website, but not about the smartphone's carbon footprint. Spare parts and instructions for self-repair are not available.
Communication and GNSS - Edge 60 Pro with fast WiFi 6E
The Edge 60 Pro supports WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. It is also well positioned in terms of mobile phone frequencies, so you shouldn't have any reception problems even when traveling in other EU countries.
With our reference router Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, the Edge 60 Pro achieves quite stable Wi-Fi transfer rates, reaching a peak of 1574 MB/s.

The Edge 60 Pro performs well when it comes to navigation. In the practical test, in which we pitted it against the Garmin Venu 2 fitness smartwatch, the smartphone was often a few meters off the bike route, which was around 10 kilometers (~6.2 miles) long, but was precise enough for everyday use.
Phone functions and voice quality
A nano SIM card fits into the card slot of the Edge 60 Pro and an eSIM can also be activated for dual SIM operation. In addition to VoLTE, the phone also supports Wi-Fi calls.
The voice quality of the Motorola smartphone is impressive. Voices remain easy to understand even in hands-free mode and the noise suppression works reliably.
Cameras - Triple camera with 3x optical zoom
In addition to a 50 MP main camera and a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, the Edge 60 Pro also has a 10 MP telephoto camera. The latter works with a 3x optical zoom and takes good pictures in daylight. Digital zoom is possible up to 50x, but only captures rather blurred details at higher magnification levels.
Photos taken with the main and ultra-wide-angle camera are rich in detail and contrast and are characterized by very good quality. The same applies to the 50 MP selfie camera, which is one of the best in this price range. The smartphone also records videos in good quality, but only with a maximum of 4K at 30 FPS.
Image comparison
Choose a scene and navigate within the first image. One click changes the position on touchscreens. One click on the zoomed-in image opens the original in a new window. The first image shows the scaled photograph of the test device.
DaylightDaylightUltra wide-angleLow light
In the test lab, the main camera shows that it can capture colors quite accurately in optimal lighting. However, there is a lack of accuracy with green tones. The test chart remains fully recognizable with 1 lux of residual light.
Accessories and warranty - The 90-watt power supply costs extra
The scope of delivery includes a USB-C cable, a plastic protective cover, a SIM tool and a quick start guide.
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro in the USA comes with a standard one-year limited warranty. Moto Care Accident Protection, an optional plan, can extend coverage for accidental damage.
Input devices and operation - Fast fingerprint sensor
The P-OLED screen responds quickly and precisely to inputs and, together with the 12 GB RAM and the MediaTek SoC, ensures very smooth operation.
The fingerprint sensor under the screen unlocks the smartphone quickly and did not make any mistakes in the test. The 2D face recognition via the selfie camera also works reliably.
Display - P-OLED screen with more than 4000 nits
According to Motorola, the P-OLED screen has a maximum brightness of 4500 nits. The screen does not quite reach this in the test, but still achieves an excellent 4122 cd/m² on small surfaces (APL18 measurement). The average is 1099 cd/m².
The P-OLED screen works with a relatively high DC dimming frequency of 716 Hz in all of the brightness levels we measured. Due to the high signal amplitude of 75 percent, PWM-sensitive users may still feel disturbed by PWM flickering.

Games - 60 FPS are realistic
With its ARM Mali-G615 MP6-GPU, the Edge 60 Pro achieves good 3D performance. While no match for the OnePlus 13R or Samsung Galaxy S24 FE the frame rates determined with Gamebench show that the performance is easily sufficient to play current games smoothly, even in high details.
Emissions - noticeable heating under continuous load
Temperature
In the stress test with the burnout benchmark, the Edge 60 Pro gets really uncomfortably warm at up to 58.4 °C (137.12 °F). However, this extreme scenario remains the exception in everyday use.
In the 3DMark stress tests, the Edge 60 Pro can maintain its output performance for a relatively long time, but then drops sharply. After 20 test runs, only just under 40 percent of the original performance remains.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 54.7 °C / 130 F, compared to the average of 35.1 °C / 95 F, ranging from 21.9 to 63.7 °C for the class Smartphone.

Speakers
The speaker on the bottom edge is amplified by the earpiece, which means that the Edge 60 Pro produces stereo sound. This remains largely without bass, but still sounds good thanks to the relatively balanced mids and highs.
Headphones or external speakers can be connected via USB-C or Bluetooth 5.4. The Edge 60 Pro supports most current Bluetooth codecs.

Battery life - Edge 60 Pro with 6000 mAh battery and good endurance
Energy consumption
The Edge 60 Pro's 6000 mAh battery can be charged with up to 90 watts. Up to 15 watts is possible via wireless charging.
We did not have Motorola's 90-watt power supply available for the test, which is why we used the Anker 317 instead (100 watts). However, the Edge 60 Pro is not really happy with this, as it takes 1.5 hours for one charging cycle, which is far too long. If the smartphone and power adapter are compatible, charging should be completed in well under an hour.
