The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is the manufacturer’s premium mid-range offering, aiming to compete in the upper segment with its eye-catching design, powerful hardware, and long-lasting battery. But does it live up to the promises made in official tests? Below, we explore what professional reviewers have said about the device—and how everyday users experience it in practice.
Design, Build, and Durability
The Edge 60 Pro's appearance clearly gives off a premium vibe. TechRadar calls it one of the most beautiful phones of the year, praising the gently curved AMOLED display, its feather-light yet sturdy build, and the Pantone-colored back panels that make it truly stand out. Its IP69 water resistance rating and MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance certification suggest that you shouldn't have to worry about drops or exposure to the elements.
However, real-world user experiences tell a different story. One disappointed German user writes: “After a single, not particularly serious fall onto sand, the screen cracked. Military-grade shock resistance? Simply ridiculous.” This sharply contrasts with the durability praised in professional tests and raises the question: how well do lab tests reflect everyday use? Based on feedback, the display appears to be particularly fragile—even if the rest of the build looks impressive at first glance.
Display
The 6.7-inch, 120 Hz AMOLED display is said to deliver stunning visuals, at least according to reviews. Testers especially highlight the impressive 4500-nit peak brightness, which ensures readability even in direct sunlight. The slightly lower refresh rate compared to the previous model is seen as a step back, but one that most users are unlikely to notice in practice.
Customer feedback on the display is relatively limited. While there are few complaints specific to the Edge 60 Pro, several users of other Motorola devices with curved screens have reported issues with distortion: “Text sometimes appears blurred or warped along the curved edges, which is distracting.” While this criticism doesn't directly target the Pro model, the similar display design suggests that the same compromises may apply. The curved edges add a premium touch—but might not be the most practical choice.
Camera
The camera is where the Motorola Edge 60 Pro receives the most criticism. In TechRadar’s review, it's described as the phone’s “weakest link.” Despite the 50 MP main sensor, test photos are said to appear “dull, lifeless, and lacking in color.” Excessive background blur in portrait mode and the frustrating macro functionality were also noted. Overall, the AI-driven image processing seems to fall short.
Interestingly, customers don't tend to comment much on the camera—neither positively nor negatively. This could mean the camera performs adequately in typical use, or it might suggest that most users didn’t choose this model for its photography capabilities. Either way, user silence makes it hard to confirm or dispute professional criticisms, so it’s best to approach the camera with tempered expectations.
Performance and Software
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chip, which reviewers say offers solid performance even under heavier loads. The system runs smoothly, with no hiccups when switching between apps, and most games run well. However, the phone’s Moto AI assistant isn’t as well received—described in reviews as “inaccurate and more of a distraction than a helpful tool,” especially outside of basic tasks.
Users, on the other hand, generally express satisfaction with performance. One reviewer put it simply: “The phone is good and fast.” Another adds: “I’m impressed.” This supports the view that the Edge 60 Pro performs reliably in day-to-day use. Although few mention Moto AI directly, it seems that most users don't rely on it heavily—or at all.
Battery Life and Charging
The 6000 mAh battery stands out in its category and is praised by reviewers. They claim the phone can easily last a full day of heavy use, including gaming. Thanks to 90-watt fast charging, it can also recharge quickly and get back to work in no time.
Still, there’s a noticeable gap between test results and user feedback. One customer writes: “The phone is good and fast, but the battery only lasts 12 hours instead of the advertised 24.” That’s a significant discrepancy. While 12 hours of active use isn’t bad, it falls well short of the two-day promise. This suggests that battery life may vary widely based on usage patterns—or that optimization still needs work.
Conclusion
The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is a visually striking, powerful, and in many ways impressive device. However, it also shows weaknesses in key areas—at least from the perspective of real-world users.
Professional reviews praise its design, performance, and battery, but criticize the camera. Meanwhile, users are more concerned about physical fragility and shorter-than-expected battery life. Since there’s little user feedback about the camera, we have to rely on expert reviews in that regard.
Final verdict: The Motorola Edge 60 Pro may be a good choice for those who prioritize premium looks and strong performance—but not for those who need a rugged phone or top-tier camera. Customer experiences suggest there may be some unpleasant surprises regarding durability and battery life. For users willing to accept these trade-offs, the device can be a stylish and capable companion—provided it’s handled with care.
