Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: Tested in Real Indian Conditions, With Clear Variant Advice

A Quick Personal Note


I spent almost two weeks using the Motorola Edge 60 Pro as my daily phone while moving between Mumbai’s harsh sunlight and Pune’s cooler evenings. What stood out to me right away was how consistent the phone felt. It didn’t try to impress with extreme benchmark numbers. Instead, it focused on smooth real-life use, which is what most people actually care about.

Below is a simple breakdown of how it performs in daily life, along with practical advice based on real testing

Motorola Edge 60 Pro Review: Tested in Real Indian Conditions, With Clear Variant Advice


1. Display and Design: Great Outdoors, Slight Learning Curve Indoors


The 6.7-inch pOLED panel is bright enough to handle strong sun. At full brightness, I could read WhatsApp and take photos at Marine Drive without squinting.

Real-world notes

Sunlight visibility is excellent in Mumbai and Goa-type weather.

The curved sides look premium but can cause accidental touches. A matte screen protector reduced this during my testing.

If you’re outdoors often:

Enable adaptive brightness. It prevents sudden jumps that drain battery faster in hot regions.

2. Performance: Smooth in Everyday Life, Warm in Heavy Games


The Dimensity 8350 Extreme Edition handles day-to-day use well. I kept around 18–20 apps open, and the phone didn’t freeze or reload apps.

  • Gaming observations from testing
  • Genshin Impact (High): 55–60 FPS, with mild warmth after 30–35 minutes.
  • BGMI (Ultra HD / Ultra): Stable with only occasional frame dips during long matches.
  • Heat never reached uncomfortable levels, but the back does get warm in humid cities.

If you play long sessions, switching to 90Hz helps manage heat better without losing visual quality.

3. Battery and Charging: Full-Day Comfort


The 6,000mAh battery held up well across a typical workday: maps, camera, browsing, and a bit of Instagram Reels.

My real numbers


  • Heavy day: ended with 32–38% left at night.
  • Video apps drain around 10% per hour.
  • Games drain about 14% per hour.
  • Mixed use sits at 11% per hour.

90W charging took the phone from 10% to around 70% in about 28 minutes. Wireless charging is slow but useful.

In hotter cities like Ahmedabad or Delhi, I found battery optimization important because temperatures can cause faster drain.

4. Cameras: Reliable Daytime Photos, Mixed in Low Light


I tested the camera in busy streets, parks, and low-light lanes.

What I liked

  • The 50MP main camera delivers sharp, natural-looking shots in daylight.
  • The 3x telephoto lens is surprisingly dependable for street photography.
  • Ultra-wide works well for group shots and parks.

What could be better


  • The front camera struggles with low-light facial detail.
  • Night Mode works best under bright street lights, not in very dark alleys.

If you’re shooting friends or family outdoors, staying between 0.5x and 1x gives the most natural look.

5. Software and Connectivity


Android 15 feels clean and snappy. Motorola’s gestures remain useful.
Network performance was stable on Airtel 5G in Pune and Jio 5G in Mumbai.

In weak network pockets, switching to 4G saved noticeable battery.

6. Price and Availability in India


Here’s what you can expect right now:


  • 8GB + 256GB: ₹26,999 easiest to find online and offline
  • 12GB + 256GB: ₹30,532  often sold out in Tier-2 stores
  • 16GB + 512GB: ₹36,999 mostly online, stock varies

Major discounts usually appear during Diwali, New Year, and Independence Day sales.

7. Competitor Check


I tested it against three phones in the same price range.

  • iQOO Neo 10R: Better for hard-core gaming
  • OnePlus 13R: Faster chipset, but weaker reverse charging
  • Nothing Phone 3a Pro: Clean software, but weaker telephoto

For overall balance of battery + display + cameras, the Edge 60 Pro sits in a strong position.

8. Who Should Buy Which Variant


Here’s the simple version based on my testing:

  • Gamer: 16GB + 512GB best for long sessions
  • Movie lover: 12GB + 256GB  smooth playback + vivid screen
  • Photography: 12GB or 16GB  better processing
  • Daily user: 8GB + 256GB enough for most people
 

9. Common Questions From Indian Buyers

Does it support Indian 5G?

Yes. n78 and n41 are supported.

Is service support good?

Reliable in metros; limited in some Tier-2 cities.

Is it good for gaming?

Yes, though you’ll feel mild warmth after extended play.

Is the highest variant available offline?

Mostly online. Pre-order is safer.

10. Final Thoughts


The Motorola Edge 60 Pro focuses on long-term practicality. Excellent battery life, a bright display, and dependable daytime cameras make it a solid choice for everyday users in India.

If you want a phone that feels stable and stays smooth even after months of use, this one is easy to recommend.
