Motorola Edge 60 Stylus hands-on

Motorola launched the Edge 60 Stylus last week as the first Edge series smartphone with a built-in stylus. The smartphone is sold in two colors – Pantone Surf the Web and Pantone Gibraltar Sea. We just got our hands on one, so let’s take a closer look at this stylus-toting smartphone.

The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus comes in an eco-friendly package made of recycled materials, and it includes a charging cable, a 68W power adapter, a SIM ejector tool, and some documents. Motorola continues to ship its smartphones with “Moto Fragrance” introduced last year with the Edge 50 Pro, which adds to the unboxing experience. We like it.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the holder in the retail package that usually includes the protective case didn’t include a case for the Edge 60 Stylus; it only had the documents. This left us confused, and we thought someone at the factory had forgotten to include one, only to find out that Motorola doesn’t bundle a protective case with the Edge 60 Stylus. Well, we find that wasteful, and Motorola could’ve skipped including that holder just to put some documents inside it, more so when it is advertising the eco-friendly nature of the retail package.

Anyway, moving on, the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus has a 6.67″ pOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It’s a 10-bit, 120Hz panel with 3,000 nits peak brightness, 2,712×1,220-pixel resolution, and wet touch support.

The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus’ display supports 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz refresh rates, with the display settings offering three refresh rate modes – Auto, 60Hz, and 120Hz. The Auto mode automatically selects the best refresh rate, while the 60Hz caps the refresh rate to 60Hz. With the 120Hz mode, the refresh rate goes up to 120Hz. It’s worth mentioning, though, that the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus doesn’t support HDR, but it does come with Widevine L1 certification, allowing 1080p video streaming in supported apps.

The Edge 60 Stylus’ display also has a centered punch-hole for the 32MP selfie camera. It has an f/2.2 aperture and can record videos in up to 4K resolution at 30 fps.

The display also has a fingerprint reader embedded for biometric authentication. It’s fast and accurate, but placing it slightly higher would have offered a more comfortable phone-unlocking experience.

Moving on to the back, we have a square-shaped camera island featuring four circles – one each for the flash, 50MP primary camera, 13MP ultrawide camera, and a “3 in 1 Light sensor,” which is a combination of ambient light, flicker reduction, and RGB sensors.

The 50MP primary camera uses the Sony LYTIA 700C sensor and has OIS and f/1.8 aperture. The 13MP ultrawide camera, which can also take macro shots, has f/2.2 aperture and 120° FOV. Both cameras can record videos in up to 4K resolution at 30 fps.

We’ve received the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus’ Pantone Surf the Web version, which, like the Pantone Gibraltar Sea model, has a back cover with a vegan leather finish. It doesn’t feel premium, but provides a nice grip and doesn’t get smudged.

The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus’ frames have a matte finish. On the right side are the volume buttons and the power key, while the left-side frame has the SIM card and dedicated microSD card slots. At the bottom is the USB-C port, flanked by the stylus slot, a speaker grille, the primary microphone, and the 3.5mm headphone jack. Up top is the secondary mic. We like the overall design and build of the Edge 60 Stylus, which comes with MIL-STD-810H certification and IP68 rating.

You can access the phone’s stylus by pressing its button. It’s lightweight and built well, and we found it comfortable to hold. When you remove the stylus from the phone while it’s locked, a note-taker opens on the lock screen, letting you jot down something quickly. But when you remove the stylus when the phone is unlocked, you get shortcuts to Moto Note, Screenshot, Free-form crop, Sketch to Image, and Handwriting Calculator. You can obviously customize the shortcuts to your liking or disable them entirely.

However, remember that the stylus we are getting here doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity, so don’t expect to use it as a camera shutter button for taking selfies or starting video recording with the phone’s camera. It’s just your finger letting you take notes and create some doodles if you are willing to look at it that way.

Moving on, we have the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC under the hood with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card. The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus runs Android 15 out of the box and will receive OS upgrades for two years and security updates for three years. The smartphone comes pre-installed with only one third-party app: Facebook. But, once you set it up, six games and an app called “Local Weather” are automatically downloaded without requiring any permission from the user.

Keeping the Motorola Edge 60 Stylus up and running is a 5,000 mAh battery with 68W wired and 15W wireless charging support. The rest of the Edge 60 Stylus’ highlights include NFC, stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, and Hi-Res Audio. The smartphone is 8.29mm thick and weighs 191g.

The Motorola Edge 60 Stylus is currently only available in India. It comes in a single 8GB/256GB configuration priced at INR22,999 ($270/€235), and you can purchase it through Motorola’s official Indian website, Flipkart, and leading retail stores.
