Motorola Edge 60 Pro review

Display

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro packs a 6.7-inch P-OLED screen with 2,712 x 1,220 pixels or 444ppi density. The screen can do up to 120Hz refresh rate, supports 10-bit color depth, and can playback HDR10+ video.

The whole screen is covered with a curved Gorilla Glass 7i shield.

Motorola advertises the screen as capable of up to 4,500nits of peak brightness.

In our own display testing, we found that the panel can be quite bright. Using the slider, the maximum we could get was 525 nits, but the maximum automatic brightness almost reached 1,600 nits.

The minimum brightness with a white patch, however, was 4 nits, which is higher than the usual 2 nits we get in this scenario.

The display on the Motorola Edge 60 Pro supports up to 120Hz refresh rate. There are three modes - Smart and Balanced, Hyper Smooth, and Efficiency First.

Both Smart and Smooth show the UI at 120Hz and choose high refresh rates for most of the compatible apps. Smart usually uses 90Hz for apps, while Smooth - 120Hz. In both modes, the refresh rate reverts to 60Hz for static content and video playback.

The Efficiency First mode uses 60Hz at all times.

The Edge 60 Pro is capable of playing back HDR10 and HDR10+ video, and it is recognized by YouTube and hardware scanning apps. At the time of review, Netflix didn't have the device whitelisted, and it served 1080p content in standard dynamic range only.

Battery life

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is powered by a 6,000mAh Si/C battery, a massive upgrade over the 4,500mAh cell inside the Edge 50 Pro.

Update, 22 May 2025: Following our readers' feedback about the original battery life test, we procured another review unit, and this time around, we got better results. The numbers below have been amended accordingly.

The Edge 60 Pro achieved an Active Use Score of 16:14h. It offers better web and gaming times than the previous model, but lower call and video streaming runtimes.

Charging speed

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro supports fast wired charging up to 90W (down from the 125W on the Edge 50 Pro), and it's also rated to charge wirelessly with up to 15W of power (down from the 50W on the Edge 50 Pro). We used a 125W power adapter for our test even though it's overqualified for the task but Motorola doesn't make a 90W charger as far as we know.

Update, 19 May 2025: Following our readers' feedback about the original charging test, we procured another review unit, and this time around, we got better results.

The Edge 60 Pro recharged 45% of the battery in 15 minutes, and another 15 minutes gave us 81%. A full charge took just under 45 minutes. This is decently fast, so we are quite happy with the result, even though it's not at the level of last year's Moto Edge 60 Pro.

For our charging speed tests, we used the Charge boost option, but you can also turn that off if you prioritize battery longevity. You can also set a charging limit on the battery so it never goes to 100%, which is helpful if you charge your phone at night and it's sitting on the charger for hours on end.

Speakers

The Motorola Edge 60 Pro features two speakers - one bottom-firing, and the earpiece pulling a double duty. There is support for the Dolby Atmos enhancement, and it's on by default.

The Edge 60 Pro scored a Very Good mark on our speaker loudness test. The sound quality is good. The high frequency range is rich, and there is some bass, but the vocals come through somewhat mediocre.

Use the Playback controls to listen to the phone sample recordings (best use headphones). We measure the average loudness of the speakers in LUFS. A lower absolute value means a louder sound. A look at the frequency response chart will tell you how far off the ideal "0db" flat line is the reproduction of the bass, treble, and mid frequencies. You can add more phones to compare how they differ. The scores and ratings are not comparable with our older loudspeaker test. Learn more about how we test here.
