Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Review: Reliable where it matters

Motorola is doubling down on premium mid-range value with the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, a phone that stands out not just for its looks but also for being the first Motorola device to debut with Moto AI baked in from the start.

Compared to its predecessor, the Edge 60 Fusion offers a new processor, a brighter screen, and enhanced durability thanks to Gorilla Glass 7i. And while the camera hardware hasn’t changed, photo quality remains a strong point, with a refined algorithm helping deliver excellent results.The Edge 60 Fusion is available in select global markets starting at €329 in Europe. The phone probably won’t come statestide, though, just like the Edge 50 Fusion didn’t.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Design and Display

Thin, beautiful, durable

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion continues the brand’s design-forward approach with what the company touts as the world’s first quad-curve edge display. It curves subtly on all sides, giving the phone a modern and sleek appearance.

The body is thin at under 8mm, and the materials used vary by model — with finishes including vegan leather and textured canvas-style plastics. All of this results in a phone that’s very comfortable to hold, as it doesn’t slip and is easy to operate thanks it its thin form factor.

It also raises the bar for durability. Gorilla Glass 7i protects the front, offering double the drop and scratch resistance compared to earlier generations, according to Motorola. On top of that, the Edge 60 Fusion is both IP68 and IP69 certified, making it one of the few phones in its price range that can handle water immersion and even high-pressure jets.

Available colors include Slipstream, Zephyr, and Amazonite — with each bringing its own unique texture and tone.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Camera

It might seem like three usable cameras, but they are just two

The Edge 60 Fusion carries over the dual-camera setup from its predecessor: a 50MP wide main sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide shooter. Despite the lack of hardware upgrades, the phone maintains strong photo performance, with a Camera Score of 135 and a particularly high Photo Score of 144 — very impressive for a phone at this price.

If only the Edge 60 Fusion had a dedicated telephoto camera, it would have easily beaten its competition in this segment. Zoom quality is the main problem of this phones camera system, as the main, ultra-wide, and even the selfie camera all did treat during our Camera Score.

CPU Performance Benchmarks:

The Edge 60 Fusion came dead last in our CPU benchmark tests, although it wasn’t that far behind the Phone (3a).

GPU Performance

The difference in performance was much more significant when it came to the 3D graphics test, however, especially when comparing the Edge 60 Fusion to the Galaxy A56.

For storage, you get 256GB and no expandable storage via microSD.

The Edge 60 Fusion launches with Android 15 and Motorola’s Hello UX skin, which includes thoughtful touches like Smart Connect (for multi-device continuity) and Moto Secure for enhanced privacy. Users can expect three years of OS updates, with security patches supported through 2028.

This is the first Motorola phone to launch with Moto AI out of the box. Features like Pay attention (audio note-taking), Remember this (capturing live footage or screen contents) and Magic Canvas (text-to-image generation) all run on-device, all of which run pretty smooth.

Motorola Edge 60 Fusion Battery

A little larger than before

The Edge 60 Fusion comes with a 5,200mAh battery, up from 5,000mAh in the previous model. That slight bump, combined with the efficient chipset, results in solid day(s)-long endurance. We gave it an estimated 7 hours and 47 minutes of battery life, with the phone excelling during our web browsing test.

PhoneArena Battery Test Results:

The Edge 60 Fusion might not have the fastest processor among its peers, but it compensates by having the best battery life! We were surprised just how long the phone lasted — I could easily rely on it for two days after just a single charge.

Charging remains at 68W, which fills the battery in just over 40 minutes. Motorola claims that 10 minutes on the charger can get you through half a day, and that held true in our experience.

Wireless charging is still not supported.

The Motorola Edge 60 Fusion is one of the most compelling mid-range phones of 2025. It brings a flagship-like design with its quad-curve OLED display, and an AI-capable Dimensity 7300 chip. Add in IP68/IP69 protection, fast 68W charging, and a great camera system for the price, and you get a pretty great all-rounder.

Against competitors like the Samsung Galaxy A56 and the Nothing Phone (3a), the Edge 60 Fusion falls short when ti comes to chip performance, but is pretty evenly matched in most other cases. For example, it beats the Galaxy in camera performance, but is close to that of the Nothing Phone.
