Motorola’s been on a quiet mission lately—just consistently dropping phones that hit the sweet spot between price and performance. And their newest drop, the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus, kinda proves that they’re getting really good at it.
It’s one of those phones you don’t expect much from at first. But the moment you hold it, flip it around, and start using that built-in stylus? Yeah, it grows on you fast. This isn’t just another mid-range Android device—it’s got that little something extra.
That Display? Smooth as Butter
Let’s just say it: the screen’s gorgeous. Motorola threw in a 6.7-inch pOLED display with super vibrant colors and inky blacks. You’re getting a 144Hz refresh rate, too, which makes everything—from Instagram scrolling to sketching little ideas—feel super smooth. Honestly, you don’t expect that kind of fluidity at this price point. But hey, here it is.
And the edge-to-edge look? Chef’s kiss. It makes the phone feel way more premium than its price suggests.
Solid Performance, No Fuss
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor is doing a pretty solid job. It’s not a beast like the flagship chips, but it handles everyday stuff with ease. Multitasking? Check. Gaming? Totally fine for casual stuff like Call of Duty Mobile or Asphalt 9. And the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage combo? Honestly, it feels like enough for most people—unless you’re hoarding 4K videos or editing full-length vlogs on your phone (but let’s be real, not many are).
Also, it runs cool. Like, you won’t feel like you’re holding a frying pan after 20 minutes of use.
That Stylus Isn’t Just for Show
Cool things start with these. The embedded pen is not just a meek tool—it can be a real performer. Drawing, taking notes, or just navigating the phone with better accuracy the pen makes the biggest difference.
Furthermore, Moto included a number of shortcuts and stylus features that are exclusively available when you take the pen out. You can even write notes on the screen when it’s off. Kinda reminds you of the Galaxy Note days, but… more affordable. And a bit simpler.
It’s a small touch, but it genuinely boosts productivity. Plus, it’s just fun to use.
Battery Life That Actually Lasts
Look, no one wants to charge their phone at 3 PM. Thankfully, the 5,000mAh battery here keeps going. I’ve been getting through a full day with ease—even with the screen brightness cranked up, stylus doodling, and a few YouTube binges in between work.
And when you do run low, the 30W TurboPower charging gets you back on track quickly. Not record-breaking fast, but hey, it gets the job done without a long wait.
Cameras That Hold Their Own
The camera setup on the Edge 60 Stylus is actually kinda underrated. The 50MP main camera takes sharp, detailed shots. And with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), your pics don’t turn into a blurry mess every time your hand twitches.
There’s also a 13MP ultra-wide/macro combo lens, which is decent for landscape shots and those weirdly close-up textures we all pretend are artistic. On the front? A 32MP selfie cam that supports 4K video recording—which is pretty wild for a phone in this category.
So no, it’s not a “camera phone” per se. But for everyday Instagram stories, Reels, and group pics? You’re covered.
Clean Software, Just How We Like It
Motorola sticks to a near-stock Android experience, and honestly, it’s refreshing. No bloatware. No weird skins. Just Android 14, clean and snappy.
They’ve added some handy features like Moto Gestures—chop twice for flashlight, twist for camera—and Peek Display that shows notifications subtly when the screen’s off. It’s those little things that make daily use feel smoother.
Also, they’ve committed to updates for a few years, which adds a bit more peace of mind if you’re planning to hang onto your phone for a while.
Modern Perks That Make a Difference
Of course, it’s got 5G. That’s a given now. Also supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and even IP52 water resistance. So it’ll survive a coffee spill or some light rain—not a swim, though, so don’t push it.
And yes, there’s dual-SIM support, which is always a win for travelers, freelancers, or those who like to keep work and personal life separate without carrying two phones.
Final Thoughts – So, Should You Buy It?
If you’re someone who appreciates little details—like taking notes by hand, quickly editing screenshots, or drawing ideas as they come—the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus is probably going to surprise you in a good way.
It’s not perfect. The camera could be slightly better in low light, and the plastic frame doesn’t scream luxury. But for the price? You’re getting a lot of phone. A lot.
To sum it up in one line: It’s not just a phone with a stylus. It’s a smart little productivity tool disguised as a mid-range phone.
And that’s kinda what makes it special.
