Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Review: Premium Design, Big Battery, and Stunning Display at ₹22,999

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion marks the brand’s first major launch of 2025, following the massive success of the Edge 50 Fusion, one of the highest-selling Edge-series phones last year. Priced at ₹22,999, the new Fusion aims to refine the formula with a more premium design, sharper display, bigger battery, and subtle software upgrades. However, while it appears and functions like a flagship, there are a few caveats worth knowing before you make a purchase.

Design & Build Quality

The Edge 60 Fusion instantly makes an impression with its quad-curved OLED display that seamlessly blends into a vegan leather back panel. At just 180g and 8.2mm thick, the phone is sleek yet substantial, offering a premium in-hand feel.

Motorola is offering the phone in three Pantone-inspired colours – Slipstream, Amazonite, and Zephyr. The Amazonite variant, with its canvas-like finish, feels especially unique compared to the smoother Zephyr option. Unlike the glass-heavy competition, this leather-like texture adds character and provides a secure grip.

Build quality is solid with IP68/69 water and dust resistance, though Motorola uses a plastic frame instead of metal. Another surprising omission is the lack of a protective case in the box, which Motorola admits is a cost-cutting measure. While third-party cases are easy to find, many users would have preferred Motorola’s own premium-fit covers as an option.

Display

The star of the Edge 60 Fusion is its 6.67-inch 1.5K quad-curved pOLED panel. Colours are vibrant, details are razor-sharp, and the 120Hz refresh rate keeps animations fluid. While it’s technically a step down from the 144Hz refresh rate of past Moto devices, Motorola says this change helps improve battery efficiency.

With 10-bit colour depth, HDR10+ support, and a claimed peak brightness of 4500 nits, the display feels incredibly premium. In real-world testing, it achieved perfect colour accuracy with 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 coverage. Compared to the Edge 50 Fusion, the upgrade from FHD+ to 1.5K resolution and Gorilla Glass 7i protection is a noticeable leap forward.

Performance

Powering the device is MediaTek’s Dimensity 7400 chipset, paired with 8GB/12GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable up to 1TB via microSD). While UFS 2.2 isn’t cutting-edge, the generous base storage is a welcome move.

In daily usage, the Edge 60 Fusion feels snappy, handling multitasking, social media, and light gaming without issues. Benchmarks show around a 20–27% improvement over the Edge 50 Fusion, though power users may find the lack of raw performance compared to Snapdragon-powered rivals disappointing.

Adding to the multimedia experience are dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos. However, the lack of a 3.5mm jack is standard at this price point, and the absence of NFC is a glaring omission for users who rely on contactless payments.

Software & UX

Running Android 15 with Motorola’s clean Moto UI, the Edge 60 Fusion avoids bloatware and stays true to stock Android. Motorola promises three major OS updates and four years of security patches – a slight lag behind Samsung and Google, but still a respectable offering.

The interface feels fast and intuitive, thanks to Moto AI features like contextual search, notification summaries, Magic Canvas, and the handy "Remember This" tool. Gesture shortcuts, such as Quick Launch and Circle to Search, make the experience even smoother.

Cameras

On the back, the Moto Edge 60 Fusion features a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700C primary sensor with OIS, paired with a 13MP ultrawide + macro camera. A 32MP selfie shooter handles the front.

In daylight, photos are sharp and vibrant with natural tones. The dynamic range is excellent, preventing overexposed highlights. Low-light photography is where the Edge 60 Fusion excels, capturing deep blacks and detailed shadows that rival those of more expensive phones.

Video recording maxes out at 4K 30fps, with both front and rear cameras supporting solid stabilisation. AI enhancements, such as auto-tuning, boost colours and details, although image processing takes a few extra seconds.

Battery Life

With a 5500mAh battery, the Edge 60 Fusion comfortably delivers 7–8 hours of screen-on time on heavy use, an upgrade from last year’s 5000mAh unit. In benchmarks, it clocked over 9 hours on PCMark’s endurance test.

The included 68W fast charger powers the phone from 0% to 100% in around 48 minutes, which is competitive for the price segment.

Verdict

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is one of the most well-rounded phones in its price bracket. It delivers:

• Premium design and display

• Dependable battery life

• Clean software with AI features

• Capable camera system

However, some drawbacks – no NFC, no case in the box, and mid-tier performance ceiling – may deter power users or gamers.

At ₹22,999, this is an excellent pick if you value a premium viewing experience, solid cameras, clean software, and reliable battery life. But if contactless payments and high-end gaming performance are priorities, you may want to explore alternatives.
