The premium smartphone that's shifting the mid-range benchmark - Motorola Edge 60 review

Exceeds expectations.

Standard performance, but a 4000-nit display, extra-long battery life and a triple camera with 3x telephoto zoom: the Motorola Edge 60 sweeps lots of mid-range competitors aside with its features. Plus, it boasts a premium feel that is typically reserved for high-end smartphones.

Verdict on the Motorola Edge 60

The Motorola Edge 60 is one of the best smartphones you can get for up to $500. Highlights include its super bright P-OLED display at 120 Hz, good triple-camera system including a telephoto lens, long runtimes and fast charging, eSIM support, as well as 512 GB of storage including the option to expand this via a microSD card.

Its strong total package is rounded out by a very high-quality case with an IP69 certification. Its screen glass, which wraps over the edges of the device, is handy for displaying notifications—but apart from that, it's simply a matter of taste.

The installed MediaTek Dimensity 7300 delivers solid everyday performance, but it could do with being a little faster. The same can be said about the phone's storage. Motorola has saved some money in other areas, too. For example, the smartphone doesn't support wireless charging and despite its WiFi 6 support, its WLAN speeds are pretty poor. Adding to this is a rather meager update promise, as its support already ends in 2029, so in 4 years time.

Pros

+ super bright OLED screen at 120 Hz
+ high-quality case
+ 512 GB storage space & microSD card slot
+ eSIM support
+ good triple-camera with 3x telephoto zoom
+ vrey good battery life
+ fast charging at up to 68 watts

Cons

- only average performance
- no power supply included
- slow WiFi 6
- updates only until 2029

Price and availability

At the time of writing, the Motorola Edge 60 is not available to purchase in the United States. In Europe, the phone retails for 430 euros (approx. $490).

The Edge 60 is Motorola's newest mid-range smartphone, adopting quite a few features from its more expensive sibling, the Edge 60 Pro. Both mid-range phones are equipped with a curved P-OLED screen and have backs with leather and textile finishes. Plus, they both use a triple-camera with an optical 3x zoom.

The main differences between the two models lie in their processors and batteries. A MediaTek Dimensity 7300 runs inside the Edge 60, while the more powerful Dimensity 8350 can be found inside the Edge 60 Pro. Furthermore, the Pro model features a 6000 mAh battery, while the Edge 60 has to make do with 5200 mAh. As our test revealed, its runtimes are still excellent, and in general, the Edge 60 could very well prove to be the more interesting smartphone for potential buyers.

Case - The Motorola Edge 60 with an IP69 certification

The Edge 60 feels like a real treat to hold in your hand. Weighing in at only 179 grams at a size of 6.67 inches, the smartphone feels super comfortable to hold. Plus, thanks to its display with rounded edges at the sides, which elegantly merges into the rubberized and grippy back cover, it feels like a much more expensive smartphone.

The stable and well-built Edge 60 can't be bent or dented, even when you apply lots of pressure. Moreover, it's IP69-certified, meaning the mid-range smartphone is protected against dust and water, while also being resistant to hot water and pressurized water jets. Its predecessor, the Edge 50, only had an IP68 certification.

In keeping with its product name, the device's display that extends over the edges gives the Edge 60 an impressive screen-to-body ratio of 96.3%. Its slightly roughened silicone back features a faux leather finish in the green Pantone Shamrock color variant, and the blue Pantone Gibraltar Sea color has a fabric cover. In other regions, the smartphone is also available in a third color variant, a violet color called Pantone Plumperfect.

Connectivity - The Edge 60 with 12 GB RAM and up to 512 GB storage space

The Edge 60 has 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Motorola doesn't officially offer its smartphone in other storage variants, at least in the EU, where this test was carried out. Despite this, another version is available online with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage space.

The phone's internal storage can be expanded by using the microSD card slot, which can hold cards up to 1 TB in size. In addition to a microSD card, a nano SIM card fits into the card slot, and users can activate an eSIM for dual SIM operation. The device also comes equipped with stereo speakers. The Edge 60's USB-C port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

Software - Android 15 with Moto AI and updates until 2029

The Edge 50 was launched with Android 15 and is set to receive security updates every two months until March 2029, so for 4 years in total. OS upgrades will be delivered for 3 years. This is fine, however, Samsung and Google have certainly set the benchmark in this respect, with an update timeframe of 6 and 7 years, respectively.

Motorola has left the preinstalled Android 15 mostly unchanged. The few third-party apps that are on the phone can be uninstalled and the manufacturer has outsourced its in-house functions to its own apps. These include the AI assistant Moto AI, which is designed to support users during everyday life. However, it only provides its services if you have a Motorola account.

The AI tool is launched by double-tapping the power button and it can then summarize messages and missed calls, optimize photos, transcribe audio recordings (menu item Pay Attention) and save notes including screenshots and photos (Remember), among other things.

Moto AI can be conveniently controlled by voice commands, but it currently only works smoothly if you speak to the AI in English, Spanish or Portuguese. Hopefully this will change with an update and more functions will be added.

Sustainability

The Edge 60 comes in paper packaging that bears the FSC Mix label (Forest Stewardship Council). This stands for products that use recycled materials and/or materials from FSC-certified forests. Its packaging has been printed with soy ink.

Although Motorola provides comprehensive information about its sustainability initiatives on its website, no details about the smartphone's carbon footprint could be found at the time of testing. Spare parts and instructions for self-repair are also not available.

Communication and GNSS - The Edge 60 with WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC

In addition to WiFi 6, the Edge 60 supports Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. Plus, it supports a good variety of cellular frequencies, so you shouldn't face many reception issues further afield.

Using WiFi 6, the Motorola smartphone is still limited to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, which is generally not a problem. However, compared to the WiFi 6E-ready Edge 50, this marks a step backward and isn't enough to impress the competition in any way. Connected to our Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, the Edge 60 only reached a maximum WLAN speed of 372 MBit/s.

The Edge 60's satellite positioning works fast and precisely, making the smartphone a good navigation device.

Compared to the Garmin Venu 2 fitness smartwatch, it delivered one or two inaccuracies during our test bike trip but even so, it recorded our actual route almost as precisely and didn't let itself get misguided by narrow old-town alleyways.

Telephone functions and call quality - Dual-SIM support with nano SIM + eSIM

For making calls, the Edge 60 uses the standard app from Android. Aside from VoLTE, the phone also supports WLAN calls. During our test, the smartphone delivered good call quality and transmitted our voice clearly to the person on the other end of the line—even in louder environments. The same can be said for using the hands-free mode, as long as you don't speak too quietly.

Cameras - Triple-camera with OIS and 3x telephoto zoom

Photo taken using selfie camera
Photo taken using selfie camera

The phone's photography options are comparatively plentiful, as aside from a 50 MP main camera and an ultra-wide angle lens bearing the same resolution, the Motorola smartphone features a 10 MP telephoto camera, which isn't the norm in this price range. Together, this results in a focal length range of 12 to 73 millimeters.

Like its main lens, the telephoto camera is equipped with an optical image stabilizer. It can access a 3x optical zoom and takes good pictures in daylight. Digital zoom rates of up to 30x are supported, but this makes the subjects look quite blurry.

Photos taken using the main camera and ultra-wide-angle lens look similarly good and boast a good level of sharpness. In low-light conditions, they still show a comparatively large amount of detail. In general, the camera software focuses on vivid colors and high contrasts, which sometimes makes the photos look quite vibrant—you have to like the style. The smartphone records videos in similarly good quality at up to 4K at 30 frames per second and works with a fast autofocus and good exposure compensation.

There is a 50 MP selfie camera on the front, which takes very good photos. It is right at the top of the mid-range segment when it comes to the level of detail, sharpness, color and illumination. It can record videos at up to 4K at 30 frames per second.

Accessories and warranty - The Edge 60 without a power supply

Motorola doesn't deliver a power supply with its Edge 60. Its scope of delivery includes a USB-C cable, a plastic protective case, a SIM tool, as well as a short instruction manual.

The manufacturer's phones are covered by a standard 12-month warranty in the USA. Buyers have the option to extend this to up to 3 years via Moto Care. Depending on the package, this costs between $20 and $99.

Input devices and operation - A 120 Hz screen and a fast fingerprint sensor

Thanks to its 120 Hz display, which is scanned up to 300 times per second in gaming mode, the Edge 60 can be operated very smoothly. The P-OLED touchscreen reliably recognizes inputs right into the corners and along the edges. If the smartphone is placed with the display side on the table, the Edge 60 can light up the edges of its screen for notifications, calls and when the alarm clock is activated.

The fingerprint sensor located under the panel recognizes registered prints super quickly and then unlocks the smartphone with almost no delay. The 2D facial recognition using the selfie camera is practically just as fast in sufficiently bright ambient light.

Display - Super bright P-OLED screen at almost 4000 nits

Sub-pixels
Sub-pixels

According to Motorola, the Edge 60's 6.67-inch P-OLED screen can reach a brightness of up to 4500 cd/m². When displaying small image excerpts (APL18 measurement), we could elicit a maximum of 3923 cd/m² from the display, which is still a great level of brightness. We noted up to 1362 cd/m² when showing an all-white background, resulting in the Edge 60 outperforming all of the comparison devices.

The P-OLED screen flickers at a relatively high PWM frequency of 742 Hz with an amplitude of 30 percent across all of the brightness levels that we measured. Sensitive users could still be impacted by this and should therefore try out the smartphone before buying it.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 742 Hz
Amplitude: 30 %

The display backlight flickers at 742 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 742 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

The Edge 60 does really well outdoors. Its viewing angle-stable P-OLED screen has enough brightness to outshine reflections even on bright sunny days. Even so, its curved surface means that reflections cannot be completely ruled out, so screen content is always displayed a little more clearly in the shade.

The Edge 60 uses UFS storage, which combines DRAM and flash storage into one package (uMCP, Universal Flash Storage Multichip Package), which is primarily intended to reduce power consumption. As the AndroBench tests showed, it is about as fast as UFS 2.2 storage. Although its loading times remained relatively short, the smartphone didn't achieve a particularly high data throughput compared to the competition.

Games - Up to 60fps realistically

Although the ARM Mali-G615 MP2 inside the Edge 60 isn't a particularly powerful pixel producer, the Motorola smartphone is still suitable for gaming.

With Gamebench, we measured a smooth 60 frames per second when running PUBG Mobile at the lowest detail level, and a stable 40fps using the medium graphics settings. During Genshin Impact, it still managed a playable 30 frames per second even at the highest detail level.

Emissions - Full performance even under stress

Temperature

In terms of temperatures, the Edge 60 had everything under control during our test. Under continuous load, it heated up to over 44 °C at certain points on its surface, which was clearly noticeable with the smartphone held in our hand. Still, this is completely harmless in thermal terms and such an extreme scenario should rarely occur during everyday life. In addition, we noted no internal throttling, as the Edge 60 was able to deliver its full performance at practically any time, no matter how hard we pushed it.

Speakers

The Motorola phone produces a good sound for this price range thanks to its stereo speakers. It lacks bass, and trebles dominate the sound mix—making voices in particular very clear to understand.

External audio devices can be connected via USB-C and Bluetooth 5.4. The Edge 60 supports many current Bluetooth codecs, namely SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX TWS+, LDAC, LC3, Opus and LHDC V1-V5.

Battery life - Long runtimes and short charging times

Power consumption

The phone's 5200 mAh battery can be charged at up to 68 watts via a suitable power supply unit. During our test, we used the Anker 317 (100 watts), with which the Edge 60 managed a full charging cycle in just 50 minutes. It took 18 minutes to recharge to 50 percent and only 31 minutes to bring its battery level up to 80 percent.

Runtimes

Managing just over 20 hours of simulated web surfing and over 23 hours when playing an HD video in a continuous loop, the Edge 60 achieved very good battery runtimes during our test. In practice, the Motorola smartphone should be able to survive two days at a time away from a power outlet, even with intensive use. Among the comparison devices, the Nothing Phone (3a) and the OnePlus Nord 4 delivered similar endurance.
