Motorola Introduces Edge 60 Fusion: A Midrange Marvel with a Stylish Twist
Motorola has officially unveiled the Edge 60 Fusion, the inaugural model in its midrange Edge 60 series. This smartphone aims to attract users with its distinctive faux-canvas finish, available exclusively in the striking “amazonite” (teal) color, while also offering classic options in blue and pink, the latter of which feature a faux leather texture.
Distinctive Design and Durable Build
One of the standout characteristics of the Edge 60 Fusion is its eye-catching design. The phone incorporates a molded camera module alongside a surprisingly slim body, measuring under 8mm in thickness. It boasts an IP68 and IP69 rating, ensuring complete protection against dust and the ability to withstand high-pressure water sprays and immersion.
Specifications and Performance
The Edge 60 Fusion is competitively priced at £299.99 (approximately $390) in the UK market. While the design features attract attention, the specifications reflect its budget-friendly position. Key specifications include:
- Display: 6.67-inch OLED screen
- Battery: 5,200mAh (or 5,500mAh in some international versions)
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity chipset (either 7300 or 7400, varying by region)
- Memory: Up to 12GB of RAM with storage options up to 512GB
- Camera: Dual rear cameras—50 MP main sensor and 13 MP ultra-wide lens
Camera Capabilities
Although the device features four lenses on the back, it includes only two functional cameras. The design integrates a flash and a flicker sensor, which limits the photographic capabilities to the aforementioned 50 MP main camera and a 13 MP ultra-wide angle lens.
Market Availability & Future Prospects
As the first model in the anticipated Edge 60 series, the Edge 60 Fusion is expected to set the stage for additional offerings. Last year, Motorola launched five models under the Edge 50 line, but unfortunately, the US market is unlikely to receive this lineup. Instead, American consumers may consider the $299.99 Moto G Power released in January, which, while lacking an OLED display and the unique canvas finish, does offer wireless charging capabilities.
In summary, the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion blends innovative design with solid specifications, making it a noteworthy contender in the midrange smartphone market. Furthermore, enthusiasts can look forward to the upcoming announcement of Motorola’s updated Razr flip phones, rumored to feature a nostalgic wooden finish reminiscent of the Moto X from 2014.
