Motorola is taking the 5G smartphone market by storm with the introduction of the Moto Edge 60 Neo 5G, a mid-tier device with similar features to a flagship, but not the flagship price. Sporting sleek looks, vivid OLED display, performance that does not disappoint, and a flexible camera set-up, this device is aimed at premium seekers who are budget conscious.
Let’s take a look at everything the Moto Edge 60 Neo 5G has going for it and why it’s fast becoming a solid mid-ranger.
Design and Display
Design: The Moto Edge 60 Neo looks and feels premium. It has a plastic and sleek finish, curved edge and light weight body weighing about 179g. The rear panel comes in a choice of matte acrylic or vegan leather, depending on the color variant. Motorola is offering special Pantone-based color finishes too Soothing Sea and Caneel Bay, which makes the phone sound ever so stylish.
The device features a 6.55-inch pOLED screen offering a Full HD+ resolution (2400 × 1080 pixels), 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 1300 nits peak brightness. It boasts HDR10+ support and 10-bit color is included as well to create rich, high-contrast images suitable for both streaming and gaming.
Performance and Software
Performance and Software Running the show on the Motorola Moto Edge 60 Neo is the MediaTek Dimensity 7030 processor, an octa-core SoC built on a 6nm architecture that is designed to offer multitasking, lag-free app usage and casual gaming. The phone comes in two variants:
- 8GB RAM + 128GB storage
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage
It is paired with LPDDR4X memory and UFS 2.2 storage for fast data transfer speeds and quicker app launch times.
The Edge 60 Neo is based on Android 14 and features Motorola’s near-stock user interface Hello UI on top. The experience here is clean, smooth and bloatware-free with 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security patches guaranteed, as per Nokia.
Camera Setup
Between Moto Edge 60 Neo and Moto Edge 60, the former has a dual rear camera set-up that emphasises on clarity, stability, and versatility. It includes:
- Primary camera having 50MP + 50MP with f 1.8(Query for TWRP) and Opitcal Image Stabilization (OIS)
- 13MP ultra-wide (120-degree field-of-view, used for macro and depth-sensing as well)
- 32MP, f/2.0 front facing camera with an ultra-high resolution offers the best selfie for flowing single or group selfies with girls and boys, or full HD video recording moments.
Daytime camera performance is top-notch with good dynamic range and color accuracy. Night mode does the job too, with OIS and Motorola’s AI processing helping matters along.
Battery and Charging
Powering the device is a 5000mAh battery that supports full-day usage even with a refreshingly higher refresh rate and multitasking. It has 68W TurboPower fast charging which claims to take the device from 0 to 50% in 15 minutes. It doesn’t have wireless charging, but the fast wired charging more than compensates for this feature, as you have to spend less time charging the device.

- Water and dust resistant with an IP68 rating
- Fingerprint scanner built into display
- 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC
