Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Review | A phone that ticks nearly all the boxes

The new Motorola Edge 60 Fusion presents itself as a strong mid-range contender. For new buyers, it offers a compelling package—premium design, vibrant display, reliable performance, practical AI features, and a camera setup that shines in daylight

The redemption story of Motorola has really been interesting. The company has successfully found a strong spot in the mid-range segment. Last year, we saw the Edge series from the company delighting users with its unique body design and power. Now taking things forward, Motorola has launched Motorola Edge 60 Fusion succeeding over the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion. Starting at ₹22,999, the phone promises to take competition in the mid-range segment one notch ahead. So, let’s find out in detail what the new Motorola Edge 60 Fusion has to offer.

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion doesn’t veer off the design playbook of the Edge 50 series but adds a subtle polish that elevates its appeal. The back panel continues to sport a premium vegan leather finish that not only feels nice in the hand but also adds character to the phone. The curved edges, both on the rear and the display, lend the device an ergonomic touch, making it quite comfortable to hold for prolonged durations.

The plastic frame gets a metallic finish this time around, especially striking in the Cyan shade, and it does a good job of giving the phone a more polished, high-end feel. However, that gorgeous vegan leather back is a magnet for dust and smudges, which means you’ll find yourself wiping it down more often than you’d like. It’s also worth noting that Motorola hasn’t included a protective case in the box—something that would’ve gone a long way in maintaining its pristine look right out of the gate.

The phone is slightly heavier than its predecessor, but it still maintains a well-balanced feel. You get all the essential ports and buttons: USB-C, SIM slot, volume rockers, and a power button. The stereo speaker setup remains intact. But the standout is its durability—it boasts IP68 and IP69 certifications, making it one of the more resilient phones in this price segment. A small but thoughtful touch is the inclusion of Wet Touch support, which keeps the display responsive even when wet.

The latest Motorola Edge 60 Fusion packs a 6.7-inch all-curved pOLED display that builds on its predecessor’s strengths. The resolution has been bumped up to a crisp 1.5K (1220 x 2712 pixels), and the peak brightness now touches an impressive 4,500 nits. The refresh rate, however, sees a minor drop from 144 Hz to 120 Hz. While I generally prefer flat displays, I have to admit the curvature here adds a sleek charm to the phone and makes the overall viewing experience immersive.

The contrast levels are punchy, with a 10-bit panel and full DCI-P3 color gamut coverage ensuring rich, vibrant visuals. HDR10+ certification, Widevine L1 support, and Dolby Atmos-backed stereo speakers round off an excellent multimedia experience. The phone misses HDR playback on Netflix for now, though YouTube and Prime Video stream in high definition just fine. Sunlight visibility is excellent, and the in-display fingerprint scanner, while slightly low in placement, works reliably.
