- Motorola has revealed the Motorola Edge 60 fusion with a unique canvas-like structure on a model
- A spokesperson from Motorola told Techradar about a bit of “the world’s first” display-tech in the new phone
- Edge 60 -Fusion is out now and costs £ 299.99 in the UK – an American release is not expected
Motorola has announced a new cheap phone with a unique canvas finish and what it calls “the world’s first quad curve border screen”.
The Motorola Edge 60 fusion is equipped with a 6.67-inch Quad-Curved Display, which continues the company’s partnership with Pantone by offering Pantone-validated color profile.
At a starting price of £ 299.99, the EDGE 60 fusion is taking the role of Motorola’s new cheap plate hand set – we expect it to get along with the Edge 60 pro, the rumored details we recently covered.
We do not yet have a price for Australia and the phone is not launched in the United States at all.
In addition to the supposed “World’s first” in its display technology (more on that later), the Edge 60 fusion is likely to turn heads with its design and construction.
Motorola has also collaborated with Pantone on the phone’s design with three stylish colors to choose from: Pantone Zephyr, Pantone Slipstream and Pantone Amazonite – it’s pink, blue and teal in everyday parlance.
In terms of construction, the phone comes in a comfortable vegan leather in the Zephyr and Slipstream colors, while the Amazonite model has a synthetic material that emulates the feeling of canvas. If you ever wanted your phone to feel like a total bag, Motorola has you covered.
The unique material disseminates no loss in resistance to the elements – the phone is assessed for up to IP69, the highest possible assessment of dust and water resistance.
Let’s talk hardware: The Edge 60 Fusion Sports Mid-Range Medatek Dimensity 7300 Chipset and 8 GB RAM, which should offer a respectable level of hardware power at the phone’s low price.
The phone also comes with up to 256 GB of storage that offers plenty of space for photographs and videos taken with its dual camera system.
Alongside a head 50MP camera with optical image stabilization, the EDGE 60 merger is equipped with an ultra-free lens with built-in macro skills with a minimum focal length of 3 cm.
A handful of software recording states – some assisted by Motorola’s proprietary Moto AI tool set – allows for more flexibility, such as action shoots and adaptive stabilization.
The same Moto AI Suite also appears elsewhere – the phone comes with AI features that quickly become standard for smartphones such as transcription, note and image generation.
World’s first?
When I write this, I have the Motorola Edge 60 fusion to hand, and while I am impressed with its screen quality and light construction, I can’t quite see what makes it a “world’s first”.
A spokesman from Motorola told Techradar: “In a world, we are happy to launch the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion with the Quad curve to our technologically knowledgeable fans. Not only has the device been designed with pantone validated colors, the unique all-round curved display transition from the screen to the back.
“What separates the device from competitors is the concept ‘Endless Edge’, where the curve is more intense and pronounced, wrapping over the edges to create a waterfall effect for a more immersive unit experience.”
Granted, the display is wrapped around in all four directions, but most prominently on the long sides of the phone. I have also used other phones that curves on all sides such as Oppo Find the X8 Pro, and while the long edges of the Motorola Edge 60 fusion are definitely more pronounced, I am not sure the same goes for the top and bottom of the screen.
In any case, the Edge 60 merger looks like a good enough value not to rely on anything inferior to “world-first” allegations-I can see what is fighting for a place on our list of Britain’s best cheap phones. Tell us what you think about the Motorola Edge 60 fusion in the comments below.
