Motorola has quietly been doing smart things — phones that look premium but don’t always carry the stratospheric price tags of the biggest flagship players. The Moto Edge 60 Pro is one of those phones: it pairs standout design and battery life with surprisingly capable internals.
If you want a phone that feels and looks premium, lasts long on a single charge, and won’t drain your bank account like some top-tier flagships, the Edge 60 Pro is worth a serious look. Below I break down what makes it interesting, where it shines, and what to watch out for — in plain, friendly language.
What the Edge 60 Pro is trying to be
Think of the Edge 60 Pro as Motorola’s answer to people who want flagship polish (curved OLED, speedy charging, clean software) but prefer value over headline specs.
Motorola focused on three big ideas here: eye-catching design, a long-lasting battery, and a camera system that’s flexible even if it’s not class-leading. The company also pushed software niceties and some durability features to make the whole package feel premium.
Design and display — looks that grab attention
The Edge 60 Pro turns heads. It features a full-curved “all-curved” pOLED display with very slim bezels, so media and games feel immersive. The screen size is large — around 6.7 inches — with a very high resolution (sharp text and crisp images) and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for scrolling and animations.
The curved edges make the phone feel smaller in the hand than the diagonal would suggest, and Motorola has been picky about color and finish—there are some bright Pantone-inspired color options if you like a splash of personality.
The phone is slim and light for what it packs; that curved glass gives a premium vibe, though it also makes the device a little slippery — a case is a sensible buy if you’re clumsy. Overall, if you prize looks and a cinematic display, the Edge 60 Pro delivers.
Performance — fast enough for everything most people need
Motorola moved to a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme chip in this model. Paired with modern LPDDR5X RAM and fast UFS storage, the phone handles everyday tasks, heavy multitasking, and demanding games without flinching.
There are multiple RAM/storage options, so you can pick a configuration that fits your needs and budget — most users will find 8GB or 12GB perfectly adequate.
In normal use you’ll notice smooth UI animations, quick app launches, and stable frame rates in games at sensible settings. This isn’t a raw “benchmark king” handset, but for day-to-day life — social apps, streaming, multitasking, photo editing — it’s more than capable.
Cameras — flexible setup, solid everyday shots
The Edge 60 Pro doesn’t try to outsprint ultra-premium camera phones, but its camera hardware is thoughtful. You get a strong primary 50MP sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP ultra-wide for landscape and group shots, and a 10MP telephoto for modest zoom.
The front camera is a high-resolution unit as well, good for crisp selfies and video calls.
What this means in practice: photos in daylight are sharp and colorful, the ultra-wide is useful (and not an afterthought), and the telephoto gives you the flexibility to get closer without relying only on digital zoom.
Low-light performance is decent thanks to stabilization and software processing, but if top-tier night photography is your obsession, some flagship competitors still have the edge there.
Battery life and charging — the phone’s best trick
If there’s one headline feature that makes the Edge 60 Pro stand out, it’s battery life. Motorola equipped this phone with a very large battery (in the 6,000 mAh class), which translates to easily long single-charge endurance.
For most users that means a full day and then some — heavy users may still reach for the charger in the evening, but overall the battery game here is excellent.
Charging is speedy too: the phone supports very fast wired charging (high wattage TurboPower), plus wireless charging and even reverse charging for topping up earbuds or a friend’s phone in a pinch. In short: you get both great battery capacity and the means to refill it quickly when you need to.
Software and updates — clean, usable Android
Motorola is known for a mostly-clean Android experience with useful extras rather than heavy skinning. The Edge 60 Pro continues that trend: you get Android (recent version) with Motorola’s helpful gestures and features layered on.
Motorola typically promises a couple of major Android updates and ongoing security patches for a few years — useful to know if you keep phones for the long run.
The software is generally uncluttered, so you won’t be fighting bloatware. Motorola’s brief additions (like moto actions and display customizations) are genuinely handy and feel earned rather than intrusive.
Durability and extras — practical touches
Motorola didn’t ignore durability: the Edge 60 Pro includes IP water/dust resistance and claims a fairly robust build. The curved glass design is elegant but makes slip-and-drop a real risk, so a case is recommended.
The phone also includes stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos enhancements for better media playback, and an in-display fingerprint sensor plus face unlock for convenience.
Price and value — where it lands
One of the most attractive things about the Edge 60 Pro is value. Motorola priced it to compete aggressively: you’re getting flagship-like features (bright OLED, high refresh, big battery, strong chipset) at a price that’s well below many top-tier flagships.
In markets like India the phone was launched in the sub-₹40,000 band, and promotional sales can bring the effective price lower. If you want a phone that looks and feels premium without the flagship price tag, this model hits that sweet spot.
Where the Edge 60 Pro isn’t perfect
No phone is flawless, and the Edge 60 Pro has some trade-offs to bear in mind:
- The camera is versatile and good for daily use, but it doesn’t outperform class-leading camera phones in low light or in computational photography wizardry.
- The curved glass, while gorgeous, can be slippery and slightly less practical than flat displays for one-handed use.
- Some markets have different RAM/storage options; make sure to pick the right variant for your needs (especially if you like to keep lots of apps and media).
Who should buy it?
Buy the Edge 60 Pro if:
- You want a premium-looking phone without flagship pricing.
- Long battery life matters to you more than having the absolute best camera.
- You like clean Android and practical extra features.
- You want a big, smooth OLED screen for media and games.
Skip it if:
- You want the absolute top camera performance money can buy.
- You refuse to use a case on a curved-glass phone.
- You need the absolute highest single-core CPU benchmarks for niche workflows.
Quick tips before you buy
- Decide your storage: the phone isn’t expandable with a microSD card in most variants, so pick enough built-in storage for your needs.
- Buy a case: the slim, curved body is beautiful — but fragile. A good case saves future heartache.
- Check regional variants: RAM and storage bundles, plus charger inclusions, can vary by market. Also verify official software update promises in your country.
- Watch for sales: Motorola often runs introductory discounts that make the phone an even better value.
Final verdict — stylish, sensible, and a smart buy for many
The Moto Edge 60 Pro strikes a smart balance. It brings flagship-style looks, a gorgeous display, very long battery life, and solid day-to-day performance — all for a price that positions it as a very attractive option versus pricier premium phones.
If your priorities are strong battery life, a nice screen, and clean software in a stylish package, the Edge 60 Pro is one of the best value choices available right now.
