Motorola Edge 60 Stylus specifications and in-depth review

Motorola Edge 60 Stylus

Manufacturer: Motorola

The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus is a mid-range Android smartphone running Android 15, built around a 6.7″ OLED panel that delivers 444 ppi pixel density and a 120Hz refresh rate at up to 1400 nits of brightness. It ships with an included stylus, carries an IP68 rating for dust and water protection, and fits into a 8.3 mm slim profile weighing 191 g.

Under the hood, the device runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset paired with 8GB of DDR5 RAM and 256GB of internal storage, backed by a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The 5000 mAh battery supports 68W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging, while connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, 5G, and a combination of one physical SIM and one eSIM. The rear camera system offers optical image stabilization, 4K video recording at 30 fps, and a range of manual controls, complemented by a 32MP front-facing sensor.

Pros
  • Comes with an included stylus, adding a useful input option for note-taking and precise on-screen interaction
  • IP68 rating provides full waterproof protection against dust and water ingress
  • The 6.7-inch OLED display reaches 1400 nits of typical brightness with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10 support
  • Wired fast charging at 68W and wireless charging at 15W are both supported, with a charger included in the box
  • Connectivity is well-rounded, covering 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and an external memory slot for storage expansion
  • A 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers are both present, keeping wired audio options available
Cons
  • Gorilla Glass 3 is an older generation of screen protection compared to more recent versions available on the market
  • No reverse wireless charging means the device cannot be used to top up other devices wirelessly
  • Neither aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, LDAC, nor aptX Lossless are supported, limiting high-quality Bluetooth audio codec options
  • The USB Type-C port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, which restricts wired data transfer rates
  • Always-On Display is not available, so the screen cannot passively show time or notifications without fully waking
  • Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, meaning software updates depend on an intermediary rather than coming straight from the OS developer
Who is this for?

This device suits users who benefit from an included stylus for handwriting, annotation, or precise input tasks, making it a practical fit for students, note-takers, and anyone who regularly sketches or marks up documents on the go. The IP68 waterproof rating and 5000 mAh battery with 68W fast charging make it a reliable daily driver for people with active or demanding routines who need resilience and quick top-ups. The 6.7-inch OLED display at 120Hz with HDR10 support, combined with stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, also makes it a solid choice for users who consume a lot of media and want a versatile multimedia and productivity experience without sacrificing wired audio options.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who demand the latest screen protection will find Gorilla Glass 3 a limiting factor, and those looking for advanced Bluetooth audio codec support — such as LDAC or aptX Adaptive for high-fidelity wireless listening — will not find those capabilities here. The USB 2.0 interface on the Type-C port makes this a poor fit for anyone who regularly transfers large files between the phone and a computer, and the absence of direct OS vendor updates may deter users who prioritize timely and reliable software support. Power users who rely on reverse wireless charging to top up accessories or a second device will also find that feature missing.

The main camera records video at up to 2160p at 30 fps and supports slow-motion recording, while HDR mode, burst mode, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas are all available; HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported, and there is no optical zoom. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed and RAW capture are absent, and the single LED flash is not dual-tone or RGB. On the front, a 32MP single-lens camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles selfies — it sits in a standard position above the display rather than under it, and has no dedicated flash of its own.

Final Verdict

The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus is a well-rounded mid-range smartphone that makes a clear case for itself through a combination of practical features rarely found together at this level — most notably its bundled stylus paired with an IP68-rated waterproof build, a bright 120Hz OLED display, and a capable battery setup that includes both 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. It covers the fundamentals of daily use confidently, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, stereo speakers, and a 3.5 mm jack all present, and its broad manual camera controls and optical image stabilization add flexibility for photography-minded users. Where it shows its limitations — older Gorilla Glass 3, USB 2.0 throughput, no high-resolution Bluetooth codec support, and the absence of direct OS updates — those are trade-offs that primarily affect a narrower subset of users with specific demands. For anyone seeking a productive, durable, stylus-equipped daily device, the Edge 60 Stylus is a focused and capable option.
