Motorola is back with the Edge 60 Fusion, and while the upgrades seem minor at first glance, the device proves that thoughtful optimization and subtle improvements can actually make a huge difference.
This isn’t about flashy gimmicks — it’s about delivering real value in a price-sensitive mid-range segment. Let’s break down how this sleek phone stacks up in real-world use.
Design
Motorola’s design game continues strong. The Edge 60 Fusion is slim, light, and feels premium — especially with the vegan leather finish. It’s IP68 and IP69 rated, which is crazy good at this price.
Basically, it can survive everything from accidental drops in water to high-pressure jets, though water damage still voids the warranty.
The curved edges and Gorilla Glass Victus 7i protection add a touch of class, and the display blends seamlessly with the minimal bezels.
The mid-frame is polycarbonate with a matte feel, giving decent grip. Oh, and the camera island now houses a bonus sensor — more on that soon.
Display
This one’s a looker! The 6.67-inch pOLED panel now boasts a 1.5K resolution, and it’s sharp, bright, and color-accurate. With 4,500 nits of peak brightness, it’s readable even in direct sunlight.
However, there’s a catch. The 120Hz refresh rate doesn’t always stay active. It needs to be manually enabled, and even then, games won’t always make full use of it. That said, it feels smooth for daily tasks, and the 300Hz touch sampling rate helps with responsive gameplay.
Streaming is solid thanks to Widevine L1 certification, but HDR support is a bit patchy. YouTube plays nice, but Netflix and Prime Video didn’t show HDR content during testing.
Software
Running Android 15 with Hello UI, Motorola is blending stock Android vibes with a bit more flair. There’s still less bloat than Samsung, but it’s slowly creeping in. The presence of uninstallable games and apps is manageable, but ads in the weather app? That’s pushing it.
Moto AI is promising but half-baked. You can store notes with screenshots and audio via “Remember this,” but don’t expect full AI assistant features like reminders or real productivity tools. “Update me” is neat — it reads out summaries of your notifications, handy when you’re hands-free.
Software support is good though: 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
Performance
The Edge 60 Fusion sports the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip, and it performs like a champ for most tasks. Paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, the phone runs smoothly during regular use.
However, it does get warm during camera use or extended gaming. There’s no dedicated cooling system, so heat spreads to the display side. Gaming performance is solid but capped — think 60fps max for most titles.
Here’s a quick comparison:
| Benchmark | Edge 60 Fusion | Phone 3a | Poco F6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AnTuTu v10 | 649,652 | 804,179 | 1,457,491 |
| Geekbench 6 Multi | 3,049 | 3,255 | 4,693 |
| 3DMark Wild Life | 3,630 | 3,988 | Maxed Out |
Respectable scores, but if you’re a performance junkie, the Poco F6 edges it out.
Cameras
This is where Motorola surprised us. Despite using the same 50MP Sony sensor as last year, image quality has noticeably improved. Details are sharper, and colors look more natural — easily beating the Nothing Phone 3a.
The 13MP ultrawide now matches the color tone of the main camera better, and there’s a new triple-sensor setup helping with lighting and colors. Video quality is decent, with solid 4K footage. Just don’t expect flagship-level low-light performance.
Battery
With a 5,500mAh battery, the Edge 60 Fusion lasts long. Expect about 1.5 days of casual use or a full day of heavy usage. Our loop video test showed 22+ hours, and charging is quick too — 0 to 100% in under 55 minutes with the 68W charger in the box.
If you’re in a rush, Charge Boost mode gets you around 60% in 30 minutes, but it heats up the phone a bit.
Verdict
So, is the Edge 60 Fusion worth your money? If your budget is tight and you want solid design, great battery life, and a reliable camera, it’s a fantastic choice.
However, if you can spare an extra ₹3,000, the regular Motorola Edge 60 brings even more to the table — like a telephoto lens and faster UFS 4.0 storage.
Motorola nailed the balance of small tweaks and optimizations. The Edge 60 Fusion proves that you don’t need drastic overhauls to make a compelling mid-range phone — just smarter choices in the right places.
