It additionally felt surprisingly slim in the course of the couple of minutes I obtained to make use of it, provided that it packs a high-capacity battery. It is accessible in three colors: Shadow, Glowing Grape, and Dazzling Blue. The Glowing Grape end did look very elegant and felt premium.
The Motorola Edge 60 Professional has a 120Hz, pOLED panel
Issues have modified on the entrance as properly. There’s now a 4C curved show, as Motorola calls it. The 6.67-inch, 1.5K decision, 120Hz show appeared similar to the curved edge show from the earlier mannequin, however the Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display screen on the high and backside edges additionally will get a much less aggressive curvature. The identical may be stated concerning the show beneath, which curves far deeper into the edges versus the highest and backside. As you will have observed, the 144Hz refresh charge has been scaled right down to 120Hz, which actually is not an enormous deal. Nonetheless, Motorola claims that this new pOLED panel gives 4,500 nits of peak brightness, which is loads brighter than the Edge 50 Professional’s panel.

The digital camera setup additionally appears a bit totally different this yr. There’s now a brand new 50-megapixel Sony LYT 700C sensor and a 50-megapixel ultrawide digital camera (doubles up as a macro digital camera). The ten-megapixel telephoto digital camera and the 50-megapixel selfie digital camera stay unchanged.

Motorola did say that the brand new cellphone has a multi-spectrum sensor for color accuracy, given its Pantone-Validated digital camera and show.
The processor has acquired a much-needed improve this yr. The Motorola Edge 60 Professional will get MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Excessive processor (which is claimed to have a boosted clock velocity), an enormous improve from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 final yr. Additionally addressed are the RAM and storage. With 8/12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

The truth is, one may even select an AI mannequin (equivalent to Gemini or Perplexity) to execute a specific process by voice command. The Moto AI 2.0 interface, upon urgent the button, pops up with a card-like overlay, taking over the underside half of the show, and so is accessible it doesn’t matter what process or app one is utilizing. Moto AI 2.0 runs atop Hiya UI, which is now based mostly on Android 15.
Motorola even spoke about utilizing AI for its digital camera processing, which jogged my memory of Apple’s iPhone 16 collection of units. It might probably mainly apply a customized color therapy of your selecting to all the photographs snapped by the cellphone’s cameras.
The cellphone felt fairly slim for a tool with a 6,000mAh battery
A giant criticism from our Edge 50 Professional overview was battery life, and Motorola has labored on this. The Motorola Edge 60 Professional now comes with a 6,000mAh battery (from 4,500mAh) however will get a slower 90W wired charging. The Qi-standard 15W wi-fi charging has been retained.
