Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: Budget Flagship Killer or Just Another Pretty Face?

In today’s crowded smartphone market, users want more than just a spec sheet. They want real-world performance, a stunning design, capable cameras, smooth software, and something that feels premium — without costing a fortune. That’s exactly where Motorola aims with its new Edge 60 Pro.

But the question is, does it offer a flagship experience at a mid-range price — or is it just another stylish phone with average internals?

Let’s dive into the real-life performance of the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, covering design, display, performance, camera, software, battery, gaming, and user experience.

1. Design & Build: Thin, Light, and Premium

Motorola went all out on design this year — the Edge 60 Pro looks and feels like a true flagship.

Highlights:

• Curved-edge 3D glass back with soft matte finish — luxurious in hand
• Aluminum frame gives solid feel
• IP68 rating – water and dust resistant (a rare feature in this price range)
• Thin and light: Just 7.9mm thickness, 186g weight

 Very comfortable to hold
 Premium look — especially in Moonlight Pearl and Forest Grey
Curved edges might not be everyone’s favorite, but give flagship vibe

2. Display: Flagship-level Visuals

The 6.7-inch pOLED display on the Edge 60 Pro is simply stunning.

Specifications:

• pOLED, 1.5K (1220×2712) resolution
• 144Hz refresh rate (adaptive)
• 2600 nits peak brightness (HDR)
• 10-bit color, HDR10+ certified

Real-World Experience:

• Vibrant and sharp — perfect for Netflix, YouTube, and gaming
• Super smooth scrolling thanks to 144Hz
• Great outdoor visibility
• Curved screen adds immersive feel (but some may prefer flat)

 Better than most phones under ₹40,000
 Very color-accurate with deep blacks
Slight ghost touch risk on extreme screen edges

3. Performance: Snapdragon + Clean Software = Smooth Experience

Powered by Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, the Edge 60 Pro punches well above its weight.
