Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: What’s cooking?

Hi everyone, I am Pratima and I have been daily driving the Moto Edge 60 Pro for around a month now. I genuinely think if there’s one brand that’s improved a lot in the last 2 years, it’s Motorola. And the numbers prove that too (IDC ko report dekhaune).

This phone, the Moto Edge 60 Pro costs exactly INR 30,000 Rupees and for its price, it looks like quite a balanced phone. But in my one month use, I also have found a few things that might be a dealbreaker for some, so stick till the end while I share all of my experiences with the Moto Edge 60 Pro in this article!

Moto Edge 60 Pro Review

Design

Okay, so one of the things I have noticed about Motorola devices is that all of their designs basically look and feel the same. You get a vegan leather back, mostly curved designs and a square camera module.

I am not complaining though, this is not exactly a bad implementation. Although I have to point out, this back material does get quite dirty after some time.

I don’t know if you can see, but the Moto logo in the middle and the edges of the phone have started picking up dirt on my unit, so if you are thinking of getting this phone, or have already bought it, a cover is a must.

The good thing is that you get both IP68 and IP69 rating here, so I decided to wash it, Gopi Bahu style and you can see, it is squeaky clean now! —second angle— don’t try this at home!

And don’t forget to put in a tempered glass as well because I have been using the Edge 60 Pro with no protection on the front and you can see, there are tons of micro scratches on it. Turns out the Gorilla Glass 7i it has isn’t much scratch-proof.

Anyway, this is a comfortable phone to hold, thanks to its curved sides and the back material helps with the grip a lot, so scrolling social media for hours and hours has actually been a cozy experience on this phone.

Battery and Charging

It’s also commendable how Motorola has fitted in a 6000 mAh battery in such a slim profile. Hence, the battery life on the Edge 60 Pro has been quite solid.

I would easily get one whole day of use and 10-15% juice left at the end of the day even on heavy usage. And unlike most brands, you do get a charger inside the box here that takes this phone from 0-50% in 25 minutes and 100% in 1 hour and 6 minutes!

Anyway, I am also happy to report that Motorola has finally worked on the haptics with this phone. This time you get a really precise vibration feedback. It’s not the strongest while ringing, but it feels quite pleasing while typing and going through the UI elements.

Display

Also this display is amazing. Not only it has great colours and contrast but since it has a 300 Hz touch sampling rate, the touch response here is instantaneous. It’s a bright screen too that can go up to 1400 nits in auto brightness mode so using this phone on a bright sunny day hasn’t been an issue at all.

And since Motorola has packed in a nice set of stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, along with almost a bezel-less screen, the multimedia experience on this phone has been great too. You can even notice a hint of bass here along with balanced mids and highs, so if you listen to a lot of music, you will like what this phone offers!

That being said, I have faced 2 issues with this screen,

No 1. This phone does not have HDR playback on Netflix so HDR content looks a bit dull here on OTT platforms and

No 2. This screen isn’t subtly curved, it is fully curved, so accidental touches have been a thing here especially while watching content in landscape mode and also while playing games.

Performance

Talking of gaming, we know Motorola phones aren’t typically performance-centric devices, but I am happy to report that this one can do a bit of gaming too, although with a little bit of accidental touches that I mentioned earlier.

The Moto Edge 60 Pro comes with the Dimensity 8350 chipset which isn’t as fast as something like the SD 8s Gen 4 on the IQOO Neo 10 or the upcoming Poco F7, but it can handle games like PUBG smoothly at 60 fps, you can play Mobile legends in 90 fps here and even games like Genshin Impact can reach around 60 fps without breaking much sweat.

And during all my gaming tests, I haven’t noticed this phone heating up badly either. The maximum temperature I recorded was around 40-41 degrees, which in this summer heat is considerably okay.

This phone feels really fast while using it normally too, like while going through the UI and all and switching between apps feels fast.

Software

But one thing I have noticed here, which hasn’t been fixed with any update I got so far, is this little lag that happens while you switch to any kind of picture in picture mode. Like, if you minimize Netflix, you will notice this little lag every time and when you open other apps at that time, the whole UI gets a bit stuttery. Also, the camera shutter on this phone.. It is really slow.

And this is the one thing that I have faced with almost all Motorola phones: their hardware is generally good but the software feels a little unoptimized. Also, we all know that Motorola is notorious for pushing late updates – like my unit has been running on April’s security patch and it’s been almost 2 months since this phone has launched!

I did receive 2 minor updates here that fixed a couple of issues though. For example, HDR video playback was a bit stuttery on YT before which has been solved now and tiny little lags while multitasking have also been fixed, so that’s good.

Oh by the way, Mototola has promised 3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro.

Like with most other brands in 2025, there are a ton of AI features on this phone too. In fact you get a dedicated button on the left to open up Moto AI, where you can access features like “Update Me” which basically summarizes your notifications and there is text to image generation feature.

My favorite feature on Motorola phones has to be the smart connect feature that lets you connect your phone to your laptop or PC and use almost all functions of your phone on the connected device!

Camera

Ok..Finally, let’s talk about the cameras and there are a couple of good things and a couple of things that need to be improved with Moto Edge 60 Pro’s cameras.

Here, we get a 50MP primary, a 10MP 3x Telephoto lens and a 50MP ultra wide lens. I have clicked over 200+ photos with the phone and I found that the primary lens usually brings out good images with nice vibrant colours and good details.

Sometimes the camera seems to crush the shadows a little bit, but in good lighting conditions, you can actually get some nice social media-ready images from this phone.

The new 50MP ultra wide lens also brings out bright images with good enough details, but you will notice a definite color shift between the main and ultra wide lenses.

The only little issue I have with the Edge 60 Pro’s cameras is the Telephoto lens. I remember last year, the Edge 50 Pro’s portraits surpassed all the other phones in a similar price range, but this time, the portraits appear a little darker and the subject focus seems a little off too.

You do get some nice vibrant portraits sometimes, but most times there’s just not enough brightness on the subject’s face, especially if you compare its portraits against something like the Nothing Phone 3A Pro.

Even selfies have the same issue, they are a bit darker and contrasty than normal. And there’s no autofocus this time, which is a downgrade from last year.

During night time, the Edge 60 Pro does a good job of maintaining exposure and details, but it takes a little time to process the images, especially in the ultra wide mode.

I am happy about its videography side though. You can shoot 4k 30 fps from all the 3 lenses and the stabilization, colors and overall quality is quite nice. Mototola also allows you to switch between the lenses while recording. Even the selfie videos are stable with a wider field of view, so as I said not much complaints on the videography side.

Moto Edge 60 Pro Review: Conclusion

Alright, so having used the Motorola edge 60 Pro for more than a month, do I recommend this phone for 30,000? I would say, Yes! First of all you get 256 GB storage here unlike the Nothing Phone 3A Pro and the iQOO Neo 10 – which has 128GB storage. And also, apart from little optimization issues, there aren’t any major red flags about this phone if you think about it.

It has a nice handy design, a good display, decent cameras, and satisfactory performance. And most of all you get a clean UI here where you don’t have to worry about bloatware or ads. It’s actually a really balanced phone and I have quite enjoyed using it during all this time.
