Motorola Edge 60 Fusion: Flagship Killer?
Everybody knows about Motorola. 2024- they released so many great phones. 2025- they released a new phone that could very well be a boon or a bane, depending on your usage. Yup, I’m talking about the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, that launched in India on 2nd April and is set to start sales on Flipkart and Motorola’s stores from April 9th.
Sup peeps, Sloth here, and if you haven’t guessed already, today’s topic will be the new Motorola phone that just dropped. I’ll talk about the detailed specs of this phone and whether or not you should buy it, because c’mon- nobody wants their money wasted. Let’s begin, shall we?
First Look
So, the phone comes in a plastic-free, eco-friendly box, and when you open it, you’re hit by the smell of lavender. Inside the box, there’s the phone, a 68 W fast PD charger, a sim-ejector tool, a type C-C cable, and some paperwork. Unfortunately, there’s no case, but they do provide a charger, which most brands don’t provide with phones anymore (I’m looking at you, Samsung).
The thing with the Edge series, Motorola always tries to provide a premium experience at affordable costs, and this was no different. The phone is thin, weighs like 180 grams and whenever you have it in your hand, it feels as if you’re holding an expensive phone. The back is textured Vegan leather, that makes it easy to grip, but also easy to get scratches from keys and other metallic stuff in your pockets. It comes in three colours- PANTONE Amazonite, PANTONE Slipstream and PANTONE Zephyr.
Body and Speakers
The phone is IP68/69 certified, so you don’t have to worry about high-pressure jets of water (we all love defending our faces with our phones when shot at by water guns, don’t we?). It also has military-grade certification, having passed 16 tests.
The right side has a volume rocker, a power button, and a mic just below it. The top has another microphone, probably a noise-cancelling one, with Dolby Atmos engraved beside it. The left is clean as is the case with most smartphones (and your love life, but who’s judging?). At the bottom, these’s another mic, a set of speakers, a type-C cable and a SIM tray. Unlike most companies these days, Motorola has provided the option of inserting an SD-card, but then you’d only have space for one more SIM. Speaking of speakers, they are stereo and they come with Dolby Atmos, so you get that deep bass. They are loud and clear.
Display
The display is an impressive 6.67-inch 1.5k curved p-OLED display with 1500 nits NBM and 4500 nits peak brightness. It supports HDR10+, and allows 2160p60 HDR video playback in YouTube. Unfortunately, it does not support HDR in Netflix yet, though that can be fixed in an update. The refresh rate is capped out at 120 Hz, so you can have smooth operations switching between apps and scrolling down the publisher guidelines of Google AdSense (don’t ask).
The screen-to-body ratio is a whopping 96.3%, with the top and bottom bezels really thin. It has the segment’s best display, and one of the most immersive displays in the world. The pixel density is 446 ppi, making all the colours appear really vibrant. The phone can also be viewed outdoors comfortably, with no strain to the eyes. As for the glass, it has Gorrila Glass 7i, so the display can handle falls onto flat surfaces just fine.
Camera
There are three lenses on the back. The primary camera is a 50MP Sony LYT-700C pantone validated sensor, possibly the best camera in the segment. Now, this pantone validation means that the colours of the shots taken are as close to real life as you see them. A 13MP ultrawide + macro camera is also provided. And, the third is where things get interesting. See, its not a camera. Its a 3-in-1 ambient sensor. What it does is, it reads the environment you’re taking the shots in, and adjusts the exposure, white-balance and other small settings within your photo that make the pictures look damn good.
The front camera is 32MP, and it has improved greatly from last year’s Edge 50 Fusion. The edge-detectionin portraits is surprisingly on-point, both in rear and front cameras. As for videos, you can shoot 4k at 30 fps from both the back and front cams. The video quality is pretty good for the price the phone comes in. For editing photos, you get AI Magic Editor and AI Photo Unblur.
Performance
The phone comes equipped with Mediatek Dimensity 7400 chipset, an octa-core processor that clocks at 2.5 GHz. It is a 4 nm processor and can handle daily multitasking pretty well. Its AnTuTu score comes to around 700k, making it a good midrange phone. In the CPU throttle test, it went to 85%, and the graph was mainly green. The battery has 5500 mAh, and can last a full day without charging if you use it moderately.
There are two variants of the phone, 8GB+256GB and 12GB+256GB. Unfortunately, the RAM type is LPDDR4X and the storage type is UFS 2.2. Now, I feel like the storage could have been UFS 3.1 at least, since 2.2 can cause problems in the future, when the phone gets old, but again, Nothing’s CEO had explained recently why it doesn’t matter that much. The phone comes with Hello UI based on Android 15, and promises 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates.
Final Verdict
So, having reached here, you must be thinking of one question. Should you buy this phone? Well, yes, if you want good cameras and… just that. Like, I want a phone that can handle gaming, so I’m thinking of buying Vivo IQOO Neo 10R or POCO X7 Pro. But, those phones can’t hold a light to the camera of Motorola Edge 60 Fusion. The thing they can overcome it though, is performance. Both of them have 1.5 million AnTuTu scores.
That’s it for today. In the end, it’s all on you. The features you need, the drawbacks that are deal-breakers, and more. Do comment down below if you are gonna buy this phone, coz honestly, the cameras are superb for the price it comes in. Moral of the blog? I love talking about phones and making comparison lists. So long, peeps. Happy procrastinating!
