Motorola Edge 60 Fusion: Motorola’s causing a splash once more — but this time, it’s a phone treading across the line between “premium” and “value.
Their latest — the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion — is for those who are always looking for a flagship look and feel without the pinch in his/her/their wallet.
At first blush, it looks to be just another mid-range phone. But play around with it a little bit and you’ll quickly realize that this one’s punching above its weight in more ways than one.
Between the pleasing design, the slick performance, and surprisingly solid camera, the Edge 60 Fusion could be one of Motorola’s best releases in some time.
Design: Thin, Sleek, and More Classy Than Expected
The first thing you’ll notice is how thin and light this phone is. It’s a delight to hold — measuring a svelte 7.1mm thin and weighing around 175g, it is very comfortable to hold, even in one hand.
There’s a fresh feel to the Hot Pink variant’s vegan leather back, adding style, as well as gripping your skin, while the blue one is the same with a matte finish, and it feels just as premium.
It’s obvious Motorola had aesthetics in mind here. The pOLED display, the punch-hole camera that’s not in the top right corner, and the metallic frame on the Edge 60 Fusion, combined with the curvature give the phone a look that makes the phone look far more expensive than what it retails for.
Display: Vibrant and Fluid
Everything looks good on the 6.7-inch Full HD+ pOLED screen. At 144Hz, everything scrolls, animates and transitions like toothsome caramel.
It has HDR10+ support, more than 1200 nits of peak brightness and vibrant colors with strong contrast.
You really will get a pleasurable treat from watching videos or playing games on this display, and the curved edges lend it a futuristic edge that makes it stand out from run-of-the-mill flat-panel phones in this price range.
Performance: Good Looks and Brains, Too
Under the hood, the Ge 60 Fusion is equipped with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, coupled with 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage.
It’s not a top-shelf flagship processor, but it offers relatively snappy performance across the board, no matter if you’re multitasking, gaming or streaming.
Apps pop open, the UI is smooth and slick, and the bloat-free near-stock Android 14 experience is just the icing on the cake.
It’s the sort of software experience that simply works — clean, responsive, and without irritating ads or preloaded junk.
Cameras: Good cameras for the price, surprisingly
The phone has a 50MP main camera that features OIS, along with a 13MP ultra-wide sensor that also acts as a macro shooter.
In good light, it churns out excellent results—nice and sharp, with plenty of detail and accurate color. Even in low light, it stand up pretty well, thanks to the optical image stabilization and tuned Night Mode.
Selfies are taken with a 32MP front camera, which has a solid skin tone and dynamic range. Videos go up to 4k@30fps and are fairly stable-props to EIS.
Battery and Charging: Quick Charging, All Day Usage
The 4400mAh battery sounds small when considering some of the competition, but it’s also effective. You can be sure to use all day without any stress.
And if it does get low, the 68W TurboPower fast charging has you up and running in less than 40 minutes.
There’s no wireless charging here, but for this price, it’s difficult to grumble.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion
The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is a phone that doesn’t necessarily shout out for attention — but it ends up deserving it. It’s not a flagship killer.
Instead, it’s making itself a niche as a perfectly executed, gorgeous mid ranger that feels much more premium than its price tag suggests.
So if you’re fed up with bloatware-ridden models with fiddly interface and chunky design, and crave a model that’s smooth, fast and easy to operate, the Edge 60 Fusion hits the spot.
It might not be the loudest in the room, but it’s certainly one of the smartest choices available at the moment.
