The cellphone was competitively priced at Rs. 31,999 and provided mixture of options, together with a vegan leather-wrapped physique with an IP68 score, quick wi-fi charging, and succesful cameras, as defined in our overview.

The new cellphone seems similar to the mannequin it replaces. It’s received that mushy vegan-leather really feel regardless of getting an IP69 score and MI-STD-810H certification this 12 months. It additionally felt surprisingly slim in the course of the couple of minutes I received to make use of it, provided that it packs a high-capacity battery. It’s accessible in three colors: Shadow, Sparkling Grape, and Dazzling Blue. The Sparkling Grape end did look very elegant and felt premium.

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro has a 120Hz, pOLED panel

 

Things have modified on the entrance as effectively. There’s now a 4C curved show, as Motorola calls it. The 6.67-inch, 1.5K decision, 120Hz show appeared similar to the curved edge show from the earlier mannequin, however the Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display on the high and backside edges additionally will get a much less aggressive curvature. The identical will be stated concerning the show beneath, which curves far deeper into the edges versus the highest and backside. As you will have seen, the 144Hz refresh charge has been scaled right down to 120Hz, which actually is not an enormous deal. However, Motorola claims that this new pOLED panel gives 4,500 nits of peak brightness, which is loads brighter than the Edge 50 Pro’s panel.

The Edge 60 Pro’s digicam setup comes with some adjustments this 12 months

 

The digicam setup additionally appears to be like a bit completely different this 12 months. There’s now a brand new 50-megapixel Sony LYT 700C sensor and a 50-megapixel ultrawide digicam (doubles up as a macro digicam). The 10-megapixel telephoto digicam and the 50-megapixel selfie digicam stay unchanged. What’s gone lacking is the laser autofocus (ToF) sensor and the 3-in-1 sensor (for publicity, auto white steadiness and flicker). Motorola did say that the brand new cellphone has a multi-spectrum sensor for color accuracy, given its Pantone-Validated digicam and show.

The processor has acquired a much-needed improve this 12 months. The Motorola Edge 60 Pro will get MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme processor (which is claimed to have a boosted clock pace), an enormous improve from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 final 12 months. Also addressed are the RAM and storage. With 8/12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

I’ll delve into their particulars within the full overview. Motorola seems to utilise varied AI fashions to perform duties. In reality, one may even select an AI mannequin (reminiscent of Gemini or Perplexity) to execute a specific job by voice command. The Moto AI 2.0 interface, upon urgent the button, pops up with a card-like overlay, taking on the underside half of the show, and so is accessible it doesn’t matter what job or app one is utilizing. Moto AI 2.0 runs atop Hello UI, which is now primarily based on Android 15.

Indeed, it looks like Motorola has listened to its customers and give you a segment-beating package deal. However, we might want to check the corporate’s claims and confirm if the {hardware} upgrades carry out as anticipated. Until then, keep tuned for our detailed overview, which will likely be out quickly!
