Senses.se was recently at Motorola’s<\/strong> event for upcoming 2025 products, and there is a lot going on this year. Motorola will broaden its product range with, among other things, a Moto Watch Fit<\/strong>, Moto Buds Loop<\/strong> in the style of Shokz Open Dots One<\/strong>, successors to several models we have seen before, and all of this is presented in a sea of stylish colors selected by Pantone<\/strong>. But since Motorola is Motorola, it’s not just exciting colors on the upcoming products. The material itself also varies depending on which color you choose. How about this year’s flagship, the Razr 60 Ultra<\/strong> in a wood finish? Or in Alcantara? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Motorola has certainly aimed high with plenty of innovation and fun ideas. For instance, you can sparkle a little extra if you choose Moto Buds Loop with crystals from Swarovski. We at senses.se hope, therefore, to be able to offer a cavalcade of colorful reviews of highly anticipated products from Motorola in the future. And first up is the Motorola Edge 60 in an eye-catching Pantone Shamrock green version. So, let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impression \u2013 Motorola Edge 60<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Motorola has long stated that they want to offer mobile phones with just the right amount of performance to be purchased for a low price, compared to many other phones. Not long ago, we tested the Motorola Edge 50 Neo<\/a><\/strong> and liked most of it. The price was just under 7,000 kronor, so we were curious about what a phone costing 1,500 kronor less than that could offer. And when we opened the box, the first impression (besides Motorola’s distinct signature scent that we’ve noticed in all models lately) was that the Edge 60, the mid-range model in this year’s edition of the Edge series, felt very elegant, thin, and comfortable in the hand. Once we started it up, updated everything possible, and got going with daily tasks, we unfortunately got the feeling that it is a bit slow. But we will return to that a bit further down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Technical Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The weight is 179 grams, making it a lightweight\u2014just like the Edge 50 Neo, which was even lighter. True to form, Motorola includes a case from the Swedish company agood company<\/strong> and a charging cable. However, we note that no screen protector is pre-installed, which we miss. So, what do you get in terms of performance for 5,500 kronor? Well, a 6.67-inch Quad-Curve display that is also rounded at the corners, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor (the same as in the Edge 50 Neo), a 5,200 mAh battery, an IP69\/IP68 rating making it largely waterproof, MIL-STD 810H standard which makes it durable despite its elegance, three 50 MP cameras, and 512 GB of internal storage with 12 GB of RAM. In a nutshell, so to speak. Of course, there are plenty of sensors hidden here, and not least Motorola’s constant ace up its sleeve: its gestures and clever bundled solutions such as Moto Unplugged<\/a><\/strong>, Smart Connect<\/strong> and Moto Secure<\/strong>. It should be added that these specific features make it hard to leave Motorola, as the absence of being able to turn on the flashlight with a chopping motion or launch the camera with a wrist twist becomes quite noticeable. NO shortcut comes close!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Camera \u2013 Motorola Edge 60<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Motorola has not only involved Pantone in the selection of striking colors but also in the camera’s validation of colors like skin tones. And just like with the Edge 50 Neo, the Edge 60 is an artist. The results are really, really good as long as you’re not in too much of a hurry. Crisp, crystal-clear images with great dynamics and color reproduction\u2014that is, if your subject stays fairly still. Otherwise, it becomes a bit tricky. If the light isn’t strong enough, the camera struggles quite a bit. It easily becomes blurry, and if you want to take a burst of photos\u2014which you easily do by holding down the shutter button\u2014it’s unfortunately not uncommon for it to fail to keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, we include a photo test below to demonstrate the zoom capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Experience \u2013 Motorola Edge 60<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The general feeling from our time with the Motorola Edge 60 is that we like it. However, compared to the Motorola Edge 50 Neo, the Edge 60 feels less capable. And sure, it costs 1,500 kronor less than the Edge 50 Neo, but some fundamental things, such as the lack of wireless charging, are a bit hard to get used to. It must be admitted that the battery life on the Edge 60 is undoubtedly sufficient, but it takes its time to get charged, even with an oversized 90-watt charger (maximum capacity is 68 watts). But given the thin and elegant feel that the Motorola Edge 60 evokes, it’s a bit impressive that a 5,200 mAh battery is included. Once fully charged, you can definitely last a day and a bit more if you’re not constantly poking at it. However, we don’t recognize Motorola’s own somewhat ambitious claim that you get all the power you need in 8 minutes of charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camera’s startup is a bit slow, and it reacts somewhat sluggishly to things like the power button. The curved screen, which is also curved at the corners, is and remains a matter of taste. It looks great, but when you need to tap something at the edges, it’s not always easy to hit the mark, and the response is perhaps not bad, but not entirely reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025 Brings a Major Focus on AI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Motorola has stated that during 2025, AI is at the center of all their phones. Gemini is present, and to that, Motorola has added its own AI capabilities. In this, Motorola has included, among other things, a journal-like feature intended to collect various items they call “Remember this”<\/strong>. Screenshots, notes, and photos are collected and become searchable, so you don’t have to scroll for that one image that’s never found at the exact moment you really want to show it off. You probably know the feeling. Motorola’s full AI package isn’t quite in place yet, but most of it works well, even though language support is still in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bottom Line \u2013 Motorola Edge 60<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, we aren’t as swept away or convinced as we have been with all the previous Motorola phones we’ve tested. It is elegant and gives no impression of being a phone that is far from costing an arm and a leg. But it’s when you start using it that the feeling arises that things don’t quite click. It also puzzles us slightly, as the Motorola Edge 50 Neo largely has the same ingredients but falls short in many aspects. Yet, it still felt like better value for money than the Edge 60. However, we must remember that you pay just over 5,000 kronor for it, and in that regard, it is definitely good value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are, however, looking forward to an eventful year. We usually hope that Motorola will never change in the sense that they should never stagnate, and judging by what we’ve seen so far, there seems to be no risk of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
